presto123 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I know music is subjective and I respect all opinions, but it is beyond me how people can vote for anything off the first record. It's almost like a different band. Neil was right when he said the early stuff is like kindergarten paintings. I think some people are just dead set in their ways that Old Rush is better than new Rush. I cringe just a little bit when I see old footage of the band with Rutsey and Ged's screeching vocals. I'm SO glad Rush didn't stay in that straight ahead, simplistic Zeppelin mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I think Hear Again is still their best what would be considered "slow song". Heavy ass blues with killer guitar sound and one of the best solo's ever. The bass is also heavy and just pounding away, live and vibrant. Super underrated..... :)^^^This. The lyrics do it for me. When the protagonist comes out of surgery and is exposed to the familiar sounds of his youth, I get chills every time. I see what you did there. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Either Losing It, The Garden, or The Pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Losing It. I second that! Best Slow tempo RUSH song ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Losing it a slow song? Um.....OK. Half of it anyway. Its all the same tempo and mostly in 5/4 time. Just cause Neil plays sixteenth and eighth notes instead of quarter notes doesn't make it faster. Neil's just a great drummer thats all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BT0n5807TA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Right now my favourite slow paced Rush song is Tears. It was a couple of weeks ago when i gave that my first listen and i've been hooked! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefunk Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Jacob's Ladder. Does that count as slow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theanalogmiddleagedman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'd have to say Rivendell. I like my Rush heavy, so I can't say any of the slow songs are my favorites, but I am a huge nerd that likes LoTR, so this was right up my alley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I don't think so, I found myself getting pretty into it too! Minus the hilarious vocals, it reminds me quite a lot of Momentary Lapse of Reason era Floyd - especially the way the chorus sounds. Anyone else think that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
