Mr. Not Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The hardest album is Vapor Trails. The album that was most "metal" at the time of release was probably 2112.The hardest album is Vapor Trails. The album that was most "metal" at the time of release was probably 2112. I would tend to agree with this but there's hardly an album of RUSH that I would consider "metal". Now there's one song I would consider to be heavy.......how about....Between The Wheels http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtXo7aYC2nY&sns=em That specific performance is very important to me. That live album/dvd is what i consider my introduction to Rush... Even more memorable than the show I actually went to in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Oh, and 2112 is what I consider to be the heaviest (not hardest...) Edited July 17, 2014 by Mr. IsNot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugen Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yes, VT and Snakes are the closest to the Metal for the band and mayble CA, but we can see also influences from grunge and heavy blues which make the band so unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I by no means consider ANYTHING rush has down to be metal. But you have to remember. I was not born in the 70's.....they probably were metal. So ya can't go by me. lol. MickI was born in 60' and I never considered it metal so..... I will be shown the error of my ways by some members here however....... :) It was back then in our day. Bands like Rush paved the way for the heavier stuff! :haz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the Beatles, Elvis ect. for example. They were considered by some people as evil and satanic. Then along comes heavier music, Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, The Who ect. Younger musicians are inspired by these bands but want there own sound and style. It never stops. Music is creativity and art. :D Edited July 17, 2014 by troutman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Duio Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hmmm.. Hard to say, maybe Caress of Steel or even some songs off Counterparts and T4E are on the heavier side I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 What are the heaviest songs? Album with the highest percentage of heaviness wins? I think part 2 of the Necromancer was about as Sabbath-heavy as they got . . . well, then there's the end of Cygnus X1 . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The debut is easily their heaviest album, in my opinion. There are heavier moments on other albums, but the debut pretty much keeps the heavy rock going throughout. And no lame keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I am debating between Clockwork Angels and Fly By Night to be their hardest albums IMO. What do you guys think is their hardest, most metal-like album?Rivendell...Making Memories? Decidedly unheavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part 2 of the Necromancer was about as Sabbath-heavy as they got . . . well, then there's the end of Cygnus X1 . . .That's right, I'm quoting myself. Should we start a poll, asking what album has the highest percentage of heavy songs? And when I say "we," I mean, not me, but someone else. I don't know how to start a poll.

WorkingAllTheTime Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Metallica (they straight lifted the guitar riff from Tom Sawyer in Sanitarium and actually thanked Rush in the liner notes).I'm curious - can you specify what riff you're referring to in the 'talica song? Sanitarium (Welcome Home)... from 4:02 t0 4:21 in the song... the guitar work is clearly taken directly from Tom Sawyer. From what I have read, Metallica does not confirm it was borrowed, but they do not deny it either. Factor that with the nod to Rush in the original liner notes, and it is more tribute than sinister thievery... although Metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
