professornutbudder Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Not to be a d##k, but I heard a better version of this at the talent show at my kids school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusGal Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I think they did a good job with the cover. Very good players and well executed. Keyboard voicing was a little cheesy at times. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Nektar's a great band but Roye Albringhton's doesn't have the right type of voice to sing Rush. I'm kind of surprised that Mark Kelly played those keyboard parts. The keys on the new Marillion album are amazing but they sound really lame here. The whole concept for this album is weird. Its the 2 original members of Nektar with tons of guest musicians. But they're recording a new, all original album with a proper band.

Del_Duio Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 QUOTE (tangy @ Oct 7 2012, 11:03 AM) not bad. good playing. the best covers of rush IMO is the working man cd put out through magna carta. these guys also cover opeth? i guess this disc is their feedback. I bought that back in '96, way before I liked Dream Theater like I do now. I actually threw the disc away a few years later, mostly because of how everybody on there tried to "Out Do" RUSH and overplay everything. I think the Fate's Warning Closer to the Heart cover was the only one that was pretty true to the original, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, the version of "Anthem" from the Working Man CD.. erm.. no! Yes, I am the same way. I don't actually care for covers of Rush songs. I don't mind James LaBrie's By-Tor. It is very rare that a tribute cover will get a play from me. I'd much rather listen to Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
