ljr869 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Cut to the Chase has way more rockin' possibilities. Losing It would have been great on the last tour with the strings, not going to happen this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevind2112 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 CTTC absolutely. As much as I love Losing It, the chance to play it "right" was the CA tour, as others have mentioned. CTTC is the cut I want to hear from Counterparts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theanalogmiddleagedman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 So much better than Stck it Out or Nobody's Hero.The very definition of damning with faint praise. Ha. I just meant that they played both of those songs live, even though I know they were the "hits" off the album, I wasn't a big fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Losing It is too close to art imitating life, in the case of Rush. And I don't think the boys would want that easy comparison. It's an easy song to sing in your 30s, when they wrote it. Kind of uncomfortable at this point. Ged was quoted that he liked Cut to the Chase, so it's more likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushpepe Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 CTTC by far, much better live song to keep the energy flowing. LI is a good song, but keeping it aside for 30 years down the road when my kids put me in the rest home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driven_to_xanadu Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I feel that Cut to the Chase would work better live and plus I really love the sound of Counterparts. Losing It is cool but it would probably kill the mood of the concert if they played it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super25Smasher Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Cut To The Chase. Losing It is a good song, but it would've made more sense if it was played on the Clockwork Angels Tour, as they had the string ensemble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladirushfan80 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 As much as i LOVE Losing It, and have a long time attachment to it, I feel CTTC would be a better choice to play live. so i'll go with that one... :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 This one needed no thought at all: LOSING IT! I was hoping they'd do it last tour since they had a damn violin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there's the subject matter that the lyrics reflect. So...Cut to the Chase, for the win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhealey Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Either would be great to my ear. I'd give Cut to the Chase the nod, unless they brought back Audrey Solomon to play Losing It. If she rocked those leather pants, I might be losing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I've said this at least a hundred times thus far.. If they didn't play Losing It when they had the chance with a string section at their beck and call they certainly won't play it now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
