gangsterfurious Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I've freaking had it with Alex and Geddy especially; their hatred of one of the most relaxing spa songs of the 1980's has gotten way out of hand. Next tour I want to see Neil put his foot down and demand that this song be played. I want them to play it, enjoy it, and show pictures of the ocean (because that's just what I want) on the screen in the background while Fortune Cookies fall from the roof of the arena. I want to see traditional Chinese dancers in the background come out with a dragon. Yeah.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronos Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Lovely Wife would be raising her hands to heaven if they were to play this. It's her all-time favorite Rush song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I could maybe see them trying to "rock"-ify it like they sorta did with some of the other synth era songs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to get the heart racing that's for sure.I made it through the first two minutes. I hope I didn't cut it off to soon and miss the "good" part. I knew there was a reason I kind of moved on (musically and with life) after Power Windows. Now it has become abundantly clear to me as to the reason..... :sigh: :| 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Um...I actually really like this song! Buuuut...there are other songs rarely played that I would rather hear (Lakeside Park, Cinderella Man, I Think I'm Going Bald) Edited May 24, 2014 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I distinctly remember Lifeson saying he would hurl if he ever had to hear to this song again. That could up the entertainment value. Pics of the grotesque spectacle would be up on the New World Women board within minutes, with all the girls commenting on how adorable the oaf is when he vomits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangsterfurious Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 (Un)true story. My husband and I were driving down Highway 1 when Tai Shan started playing, at which point my husband fell asleep and almost drove us off of a cliff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 F*ck that song all to Hell!Yes, they should definitely use the time they'd allocate to that song to play the far superior "The Garden". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 It happened to come up in iTunes yesterday. It's not a bad song, it's just not a great :rush: song. Now, Virtuality—that's a crappy Rush song! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, Virtuality—that's a crappy Rush song! Virtuality has really dated lyrics, but I think it's really good!

Now, Virtuality—that's a crappy Rush song!It's not too bad if you ignore the lyrics... My one gripe about people hating on Test For Echo. This isn't the case for a lot of people and I am in no way generalizing, but I really hate it when people take a dump on T4E because they don't like the majority of the lyrics. The focus of this album was the instrumentation. Back to the classic progressive hard rock they are widely known for from '76-'81 period. I will say however, that I think Dog Years does suck hard. But man, I do like Virtuality :haz: THAT RIFF Edited May 26, 2014 by BowlCity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
