YYZumbi Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Look at this video, and you notice that Geddy and Alex are standing on wrong sides!

KennyLee Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Nope. Bothers me too. Shouldn't... but it does. And that song is just... awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The video is bad... but it's eclipsed by the awfulness of the song itself. Stupidconductor is right near the top (bottom?) of my list of the 10 worst RUSH songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaked Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I love Superconductor, its a great song! Live anyway. Ick! It was painful enough live on the Presto tour.. but on RTB when they abbreviated Xanadu and then broke into Stupidconductor it really solidified my hatred of the song. I mean... c'mon... shorten XANADU to fit in that steaming pile of cow dung of a song????? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have a bootleg with that version. If Rush wanted to warm the fans up to Superconductor, that was the wrong way of doing it! And I also realized that buying bootlegs is illegal, so I got rid of my copy. :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theanalogmiddleagedman Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I started a thread about this video a long while back. I hate it, too. Someone explained to me at the time that it was done either by someone from Devo or the guy that directed Devo's videos (I can't remember). That made sense, although I still hate it. I don't mind the song so much, though. One of the heavier songs on Presto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) I've always liked the "pin the donkeys on her tail" line. Clever. Edited June 25, 2014 by toymaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushajax Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Geddy's bad biker look and Alex's flock of seagull hairdo...ugh. Looks like Neil was there because he had to show up. The only Rush song in their entire catalogue I really can't stand with their worse video to accompany it. Cringing remembering when they played this live with Xanadu as the lead in. I have a lot of great rush memories but this one is by far the worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it only me that find it annoying? http://www.muzu.tv/r...kvideo/1293215/ If I'm not looking too deep into it - and I don't think I am, it's all in accordance with the theme of the song. so no, it's never annoyed me. for the two or three times i watched it, I found it pretty clever really :) Edited June 25, 2014 by Mr. IsNot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy had more style changes, it seems. Lifeson had the Stevie Nicks thing happening, then was sort of New Wave dude until he became Golf Dad.

clem Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Wow. I never even knew that a video to that song existed. After watching about 90 seconds, I wish I STILL didn't know. Pretty cheesy. I always thought the song was o.k. I'm in the "I really love the album Presto" group. Clem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
