RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) It's been many Keith moons since I put on a Rush record and of course it finally had to happen. Of course I picked "Caress Of Steel."The album is still so fresh and so incredible. My 16 year old daughter just shut her door and thinks that "Caress Of Steel" is stoner rock. Classic! I don't smoke weed, but I love to inhale this epic record through my smiling earholes! I've met a lot of people including Rush fans over the years who absolutely hate "I Think I'm Going Bald."I just talked to a buddy of my from the UK who thinks "Caress Of Steel" is an absolute 10 minus "I Think I'm Going Bald.'I can't even relate to that comment!I just listened to "I think I'm Going Bald" and to simply state, Alex just kills it on the guitar. I find it hard to believe that Mercury Records was going to dump Rush into the gutter after soft sales of "Caress."I guess Neil was able to strike gold with "2112" to keep the record contract intact. Same could be said about The Who right? They were going to get dumped by MCA but the luckily Pete penned "Tommy." I know I've written about this shit before but it's been years. History seems to always repeat itself. Especially on a Forum where it's very difficult to be creative about the greatest band in the world. RUSH!!! RUSH ON!!!!!

Hey I took the wife and kids to Maui during the first week of January. Wendy and I went to see Y&T at the Hard Rock Cafe! We partied with everyone until 4 in the morning! I had to get up at 10 am and drive the Road To Hana! I was hungover like a mutherfukka but ironically the only one who almost puked during the ride to the Seven Pools was Wendy!!! EPIC!!!! Life is good, just less posting! Perhaps I am growing up and not giving a shit about public media forums anymore. Everything gets old just like me! LOL! Cheers buddy! Hi to all of my old friends on here. You know who you are! Peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirteen Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 IMO everything about Alex's guitar work on Caress of Steel is brilliant.Tone, phrasing etc = bloody amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I love the album. Every song on it. I don't get the ITIGB hate. It's supposed to be tongue-in-cheek. Some people are just too sensitive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I love the album. Every song on it. I don't get the ITIGB hate. It's supposed to be tongue-in-cheek. Some people are just too sensitive. Or just to tough. Either way, they're missing out, because ITIGB is great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I love Caress of Steel, but I think ITIGB is just a good song, not a great one. It's fun and funny and still moderately serious. I like it the same way I like Dog Years, which is very similar in my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The first Rush music I ever heard. My friends car 8 track back in 1976 :sigh: . It will always have a special place in my heart for sure..... :haz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastille Dave Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The return of Earl the Rushhead! What's up big guy? :cheers: Caress Of Steel is so awesome, it is unlike anything else Rush has done. I'm kinda glad Rush hardly ever plays anything from it and the radio completely ignores it.

Bangster of Goats Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I've come to appreciate ITIGB. I used to HATE that song, but now I see it as early evidence that Rush was not quite as serious as they may seem. Dog Years '75 indeed! I think it would be a big ol' tongue-in-cheek hoot if they brought it out for their next tour (if they have one...) I can see Alex hamming it up.
