JARG Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Asking which version of Bravado is most emotional is akin to asking which bowling ball is the most square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coventry Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 I absolutely HATE this song. Loathe it with an incredibly unequalled passion. The epitome of exactly what was WRONG with Rush in the '90s. Just complete unequivocal pure horrendous boredom. I'd rather listen to grass grow. There is NO better way to destroy momentum in a setlist than to pull out this shitfest. Remember Different Stages? Yep...Bravado is on it. Sucks the life right out of the show the second it starts. It's almost as if someone took a huge dump right there on the cd itself. Why they continue to insist to torture the audience with this POS song from time to time absolutely astounds me. A little harsh but a good post. Um, no. The post itself is infantile, myopic, deluded, and musically ignorant to the point of being painful. But, hey - at least the internet exists for this person to rant to, right? Asking which version of Bravado is most emotional is akin to asking which bowling ball is the most square. Um, ambiguity?

coventry Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Horrible song. Weak, limp-wristed beige-fest. Rotten. With Hallmark card lyrics thrown in for good measure. I wouldn't say horrible. They've done far worse, and on the very same album. That said, I never ever listen to it. The RTB is about one thing fro me: Dreamline Too U2-ie? If so, I can see that reaction? I like it. It's far from an all-time favorite, but I think it's a good song. I've never considered the U2-esque similarities, but now that you mention it, "Where The Streets Have No Name" bears some resemblance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it's generally considered somewhat popular among Rush fans - RTB isn't considered great in general as an entire album, but Dreamline, Bravado and Ghost of a Chance are generally well considered, sometimes the title track and sometimes the instrumental - even though personally the only song among those I really ever want to listen to is Dreamline, at least with those songs I can understand why they're liked.
