cygnify Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Anyone notice on Icons that Geddy mentions "World Tour" after the year off to the Blue Jays manager? That was likely last baseball season, but still....

Bard Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Is it just me that likes that ESL is polished? :/Yes. My friend played it for me the day of release. A huge fan of ATWAS, I was confused. I remember wondering what the point of the collection was. It struck me as very un-live, like they just played the albums through various concert hall systems and recorded them remotely. It's not just me, spud. :) Totally raw live albums (of which Rush has none) aren't really albums. They're bootlegs, touched up to varying degrees by engineers and the bands themselves. I can't stand raw unmixed recordings. If you want raw live, you go in person. That said, I still think Rush's best live release is R30. And I was a huge fan of ESL for 20 years previous.

I had heard something about how he didn't tell anyone he was gonna do that (and that he decided to do it on the spot) but still funny hearing Ged talk abut it. 1
troutman Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Geddy voted for All the World's a Stage!As it should be..... Yes sir!!! :codger: :dweez: :haz: :7up: :cheers: :rush: 2

The Analog Cub Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Found the YouTube link http://youtu.be/RXjFqSoOeNg That was so painful to watch. As usual with the show, the guest (in this case, Geddy) is trying to talk and seems visibly irritated cause Eddie won't shut the f**k up for 5 seconds. And of course he got lost after Signals Very interesting rankings from Geddy towards the bottom. I saw MP-PeW-2112-Hemi coming, but was unsure about the rest. Ranking the debut after Signals!? The one question I would have asked is why the lower ranking of Signals...I can understand his answer on Fly By Night, but IMO By-Tor is better than all of Caress of Steel. Don't have much of an opinion on his live choice. I could have seen him go either way, ESL cause of the catalog or ATWAS cause ESL is an overproduced mess.

Ron2112 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Well, Geddy did quickly mention that the "transitional" records didn't age as well for him...mainly due to the songwriting, he said. That's why FBN ended up so low. I'd guess that's also the case for "Signals." The debut album does represent the culmination of the "bar years," so from Geddy's perspective, that album's material was probably pretty mature. 1
Stormtron Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Asked to rank a selection of albums: Moving PicturesPermanent Waves2112HemispheresRushA Farewell to KingsSignalsCaress of SteelFly By Night He explained that it's based on songwriting. Fly By night is lowest because it was transitional, Neil was new to the band, everything felt new and inexperienced, so he ranked that lowest among the preselected batch of albums. They played a copy of the forthcoming 2112 vinyl reissue, that has star holograms etched into the platter. Host said, "Comes with rolling papers too, I bet" :smoke:F**k it. AFTK's is still number 1 no matter what he says.... :codger: Yeah, what does he know anyway? LOL. Pretty sure AFTK was ahead of the debut, but still surprising that he put it that high. Not that I'm complaining, I think it's underrated. 1
rugen Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 So the band has right now a 5 hours set-list that would go down in April. There will be some favorites songs, and some that they didn't play for a while. There won't be anymore big tours for a while... They always talk about writing, which is a good thing. And with no surprise MP and PW are favorites to Geddy and FBN is least favorites. I was a little bit shocked to see that he put the first album over Signals... 1

laughedatbytime Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 The outtakes, especially section 1, but also 2-4, were almost better than the show. A very interesting anecdote I didn't know about the lyrics for the first album. Of course, he may just be saying that because it would excuse their quality. 1

The 'hosts' were self-absorbed douchebags only interested in spewing out their own ill-informed opinions. The last 20 minutes, Geddy sat smiling politely and wondering why he was here. These ass clowns couldn't get 'clockwork orange' correct and had trouble naming all studio albums. Here's a tip for interviewers...ask the question, shut up and listen, rinse and repeat.

You're discovering all of the bad things that That Metal Show is. It was slightly better when Ged and Alex both went on back in '08. At least Eddie was outnumbered by 2 people and didn't have his bumbling friends with him. Petrucci's a great guitarist, but all he was doing was middle-of-Guitar-Center-store wankery. Waste of his talent. 1

I thought Petrucci was cool -- he was there as the musical director and as a huge Rush fan. 3
circumstantial tree Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I thought it strange to see Joe Elliot of Def Leppard. He wasn't even on more than like five minutes. The audience didn't even seem to care.
