GotRush Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Signals, I remember Exactly what I felt, Betrayed Became hooked on Rush after seeing them in 1979Bought Moving Pictures in 1980 at an obscure music store I don't believe it was possible to buy moving picture prior to 2/12/81 :) Correct U R - 81 in was Moved to RENO, Nevada late March of 1981 & was about 1 month after that I was in Carson cityon a foot note . . . . .Rush was playing Reno in June & I was 1st in line & had tickets # 00001 thru # 00008 ( general admission )Also had gotten a Good Job offer in Arizona & the company made an acceptation to wait for me to attend the RUSH in RENO concertI left the next day for AZ BTW , I like PW GUP HYF good enough, BUT Really like RTB Presto & Counterparts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 To return to the question—in another post (somewhere) I sort of referred to Signals as the end of the Era of Rush Majesty, or something like that. But I do include it in that period. I totally love Signals—got it for Christmas (thanks, Mom) and played it endlessly, especially the Weapon. I appreciate Signals for another reason, which is that it is that sort of transitional album leading into a newer and differently exciting sort of Rush. I was a confirmed fan by the time of Signals, and while I admit it took me longer and longer to warm to every new album, my "Rush ear" always located what I was looking for, for the most part. I do remember trying to imagine how cool some of the songs would sound without synths. Which brings me to another notion. I know we've been told that there is no hidden vault of unreleased Rush tunes (that's what we've been told), but I think it would be cool to release alternate mixes—the "no synths" mix of some tunes would be a whole new playground, as far as I'm concerned. Sure, there would be some holes, but I'd love to hear them. A box set that would sell, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I talking about song quality? Not necessarily. Just the sound. VT-CA have not been produced or mixed to impress.

There is no way Terry would have let Geddy get away with some of the melody lines on the later albums or Alex's 12 guitar sound. He was the best they ever had.

Oops. My pants got tight. Yeah, Terry was to Rush what George Martin was to The Beatles; he brought out the best in them. Without Terry, Rush has been like The Beatles continuing another thirty years with Phil Spector or worse. (Before I get pro-Phil backlash, I love what he did with Across the universe. Other than that, though, I prefer the Spector-less Let it Be... Naked.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbine Freight Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Maybe Brown was glad to get out of it. His track record with Rush is excellent. Rush's track record without Brown leaves a lot to be desired. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had already decided to change their direction, Terry obviously didn't know how to treat the new direction (see Signals), they had to ditch him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I can see why Rush fans may appreciate one era over the other, but those who favour the seventies over the eighties tend to have such an annoying elitist attitude, like their view is superior, that fans of HYF or Power Windows are practically made to feel inferior. Arg so annoying! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Pardon me! The FRONT Row Club. Mea culpa. Now they'll never sell me a front row ticket since I can't even get the name of their secret club correct. Woe is me. Forever doomed to the back of the concert hall with Narpski and sundry other tawdry Rush fans. Edited June 26, 2014 by Lorraine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
