Powderfinger Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Had they given him more than just the first nine studio albums to work with, I wonder where he would have placed, say, Power Windows and Clockwork Angels. To see him rank the entire studio catalog would have been especially interesting. (But of course there would not have been time. I imagine even Geddy would need to deliberate for a bit.) That said, I am surprised that, just within the first nine albums, he ranked Signals so low, and actually put Caress of Steel ahead of FBN. I assumed COS would be last in his evaluation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I can't to find the entire Speakeasy interview so I can wash the memory of that hideous Metal Show interview from my brain. The only thing that was missing from that basement dudefest was Adam Corolla and his hottie's bouncing tatas on trampolines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus 2112 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 When that dude asked Trunk to name 15 of the 20 studio albums, how many people besides me paused the DVR and listed them?My wife was like , I knew you'd get them, and in order no less. I read your post and then named all the albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 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. Clockwork Oranges Of course Eddie got lost after Signals and found his way back when the guitars came back...it's called That Metal Show...not That Adult Contemporary Synthesizers show. CoS was an ambitious record that marked a huge turning point for the band. I understand that they don't love it, but I can understand why it ranks better than FBN. I assume that Rush did so well because it was the culmination of so much work for so long, and it represented the achievement of something for which he and John and Alex wanted for so many years. To me, it makes perfect sense that he would rank it higher than Signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 great show! i wish i could have been a fly on the wall for all the backstage stuff. wonder if geddy & john got to hang out & talk more. jim florentine is such a lucky guy to meet all his heroes.John P was happy I bet but Geddy has said he knows they are good musicians but DT is not his cup of tea And, like Eddie, John P and and Portnoy have also said they bailed on Rush during the synth years.

I get some grumbling, Geddy is giving us some great answers then a Buffon interrupts...shut up dude. The Guitar Center stuff you guys mention is funny. I like how Geddy answered the final tour question and I am filled with hope for the future of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted February 22, 2015 Share 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. I liked the extras a lot as well. But regarding the lyrics on the first album, he's told that story many times, and I've never quite bought it. They had been playing those songs live for awhile, so Geddy must have been singing something for them. My guess is that Geddy and the boys didn't love the lyrics they had, John was supposed to change them, he didn't, and Geddy just made some tweaks to what he was already doing.

daveyt Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 great show! i wish i could have been a fly on the wall for all the backstage stuff. wonder if geddy & john got to hang out & talk more. jim florentine is such a lucky guy to meet all his heroes. Florentine is probably still kicking himself for is "Clockwork Oranges" question. That was funny and I like the new format of the show. Now I see what everyone was saying with the COS shirt! I don't think the show was bad at all and I've heard when Eddie really interrupts people...this was nothing. Look alike Geddy really enjoyed himself, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyt Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Why is "Le Studio" in the shape it is in? there some videos on youtube that go over all the details...they should have used some protectant for the wood on the outside because it's turning black... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Lee Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) This is old news by now, but I just watched the ep of That Metal Show today. Was pretty good overall. Liked Ged's answers on tour and album questions. Ged also cracked me up during the Stump Trunk section ("you get no guitar"). Just wish it could have been longer and more in depth, but I always wish for that :D. Edited February 22, 2015 by geddylennon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
