losingit2k Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I was thinking about unplayed RUSH songs and specifically Losing It and Cut to the Chase and was wondering which one would I prefer to hear most. So Hence the Poll: I went with Losing It! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventris Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cut to the Chase because I find it to be more energetic and I find Losing It a bit depressing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cut To The Chase for sure. Losing It is too depressing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Losing It could be depressing because of the lyrics. Cut to the Chase could be depressing because of how it shows how the band had lost it. Go with the better song, Losing It... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Cut To The Chase. No question. I want this show to be hard rocking, not all melancholy. Edited February 26, 2015 by Mara 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cut To The Chase. No question. I want this show to me hard rocking, not all melancholy. If the wish is for a hard rocking show, then wouldn't the appropriate answer be "neither"? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disembodied Spirit Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Losing It by a very, very small % .I've said for R40 I want acoustic Geddy and AlexDifferent Strings, Losing It and Tears.Neil gets an extra 10 minute rest. I would be very happy with either LI or CTTC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZumbi Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cut To The Chase by far. I don´t get the big thing with Losing It... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Losing It. But no matter as they blew not doing it last tour with the strings and theres no way it happens on this tour.CTTC, on the other hand, is very likely I believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 While I do like Losing It more, I believe Cut to the Chase would be a better live choice. I they brought out a solo violinist...Losing It would be a mind-blower...albeit a mellow song. The casual fans, who may not recognize it, would be sitting down or running for the restrooms. Rush would have to follow-up with something heavy if they play the slower emotionally wonderful masterpiece...Losing It. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cut To The Chase for so many obvious reasons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cut To The Chase. When they bust out the deep cuts it's better to do a rocking song than a slow one that will drag the show down. Rocking tunes are much easier for the crowd to get into as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Cut to the Chase. Good energy. I love Losing It, but it'd be too much of a downer live. Edited February 26, 2015 by Disk98 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpoet Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 CTTC. I like both but LI is too depressing. Besides, if LI was ever going to be played live, it would have been on the CA tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cut to the Chase. I honestly can't imagine a bigger buzzkill in a live setting than watching three old guys sing about how depressing it is to be old, in front of a pretty old crowd 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theanalogmiddleagedman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I would pass out if they played CttC. This is one of my favorites and I am still confused how it didn't at least get played in the Counterparts tour.So much better than Stck it Out or Nobody's Hero. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabesCavesOfIce Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Losing It is a decent song, but overloaded with keys, does Alex even play on this song? I know, Ben Mink...CTTC old school, heavy guitars, harkens back to the heavy sound that put Rush on the map. How is this even a close vote? I thought Rush fans like the guitar? It's not that keys are bad, but when they take the place...or space as Alex says...of one of the Shining Guitar Greats of Rock, then the keyboard laced song automatically loses. When the keys are played, that Fender thingie is also gathering dust. I hear that the bass player is fairly decent also? Again, how is this even a close vote? Cut...cut...cut.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't imagine a bigger buzzkill in a live setting than watching three old guys sing about how depressing it is to be old, in front of a pretty old crowd Its a great song! Maybe the most heart felt and welcomed song if done right...With a guest violinist! :codger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
