Zurisht Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Caress Of Steel is a masterpiece! And I love it! It´s my favorite Rush album ever!!! Every song on it is just great! My favorite is The Fountain Of Lamneth... oh how I love just to sit infront of the big speakers in my music room and listen to it really loud. To me The Fountain Of Lamneth is better then 2112 (even thou 2112 is a masterpiece as well)! Better than 2112? That's a tall order. I will have to give it another listen...it's been a very long time.

goose Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I've listened to it twice in the past few weeks, the more recent listen being just yesterday...I love it. I Think I'm Going Bald may be rather banal, lyrically, but I think we can all excuse one song on an album being less than stellar (and it still has a great riff, courtesy of Alex). If Geddy has said that they were "pretty high" while making it, that may be the source of their dislike, more than anything. With hindsight, it could be that they look back on it as a sort of casualty of the era. But I do wonder...if they were high while they recorded that album, in the summer of 1975, could they have gone completely straight and not been high at all when they recorded their first masterpiece epic, about six months later? Possible, but maybe not likely. So...I think drugs may not completely be the reason. The tour supporting it surely stands out as a negative memory for them, yes. But honestly...what other 22 year-olds can you name who composed and then recorded pieces as varied and complex as The Necromancer and The Fountain of Lamneth? There may be some...but not many. It is a pretty remarkable album. Agreed. And I actually love ITIGB. It rocks hard and the lyrics are fun! No one has to take is seriously, its just silly blokey humour and I love it.Me too. It's ok to have some fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed the would have attempted to have played at Freeman, as Nugent generally does well here. Anyway, the Randy's Rodeo gig makes the tour somewhat legendary. RR far predates my time here, but music fans know the history of the place. Trust me, it was a trashy dive then and it is a dive now (I think it is now a bingo hall). But RR was famous for two local shows. U2 played there in the early 80s before they made it big. The Sex Pistols played there on their one American tour. That show is known for the Cowboy Incident. Sid apparently yelled something impolite about cowboys. One cowboy took offense and came on stage to let Sid know. Sid smashed him on the head with his guitar. The cowboy was famously later interviewed on local TV and referred to the Sex Pistols as "sewer rats with guitars." But, really, my understanding is that was apparently the kind of thing that happened at RR on a regular basis. The fact that Rush is part of that lore is pretty cool, but it doesn't say much for the quality of the CoS tour. The Down the Tubes thing is fitting.

Pause Rewind Replay Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 In Beyond The Lighted Stage Alex tells about playing the just-finished CoS for Paul Stanley and seeing that he didn't like it. Then Alex said that their manager, critics and fans (who voted by not buying tickets to the point the band called it the "Down The Tubes" tour) apparently didn't get it either. Neither did the record label, which started threatening to drop them if the next album didn't do better. Or ask Geddy, who simply said, "We were pretty high when we made that record." IMO the reason they don't like CoS is that it's by far the worst album of their career. Not true, their career extended beyond Moving Pictures. And every one of those post-MP albums is better than CoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I love how people are like OH MY GOD CARESS OF STEEL IS THE MOST UNDERRATED RUSH ALBUM EVER!!!!! Uhhh.......Hold Your Fire? Amazing album except for the turd known as Tai Shan? Hold Your Fire is a top two album for me. Caress Of Steel is number five. And Tai Shan is one of my top picks from the album.
