Fordgalaxy Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Can we please stop complaining about Ged's aging voice? He's in his 60s, cut him some slack. It's what touring for 40 years does to you. Everyone's voice ages. Just be glad they're still touring. We "complain" (really make non-rose-colored-glasses-observations) about Ged's voice to bring the universe back into balance after some fanboy or another says he sounds just fine. I'm not saying it's still like it was in the 70s/80s, there are obvious flaws. I'm just saying that for his age it isn't bad.On Clockwork Angels he kicks major ass. Their finest hour! The 70's era of Rush produced great music, but these guys didn't "peak" just 7 years into recording. Clockwork Angels is the total package. Gimme the latest studio album anyday. Vocal wise Geddy SLAYS it on every song. True to form in the classic sense. Please tell us you're joking or being sarcastic, otherwise this is a classic example of fanboyism. SLAYS it even. :laughing guy: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll likely never read that I don't enjoy the show, except for "Working Them Angels", but when one listens to Snakes & Arrows - Live, I'm not sure how anyone with even the slightest bit of objectivity can think Geddy's voice is still good. It is, at times but generally, it's kind of lousy. Regardless of how bad he sings, the overall show is still pretty damn good and it's easy to separate the two. If it isn't for some, that's their problem. BTW, I'm well north of my 20's and didn't see Rush until I was in my 20's and have seen them 11 times since 1986.

BTW, I'm well north of my 20's and didn't see Rush until I was in my 20's and have seen them 11 times since 1986. like I said earlier, I think he sounds bad on old stuff and, for the most part, good on stuff after 1982. that's why I liked the CA tour so much. I think he's got some shitty shitty nights for sure, but with all the breaks between shows + keeping the set 80s/90s centric, geddy's voice is staying in decent shape. I thought CA 2012 geddy blew S&A and TM geddy away. of course, by 2013 he was sounding really really tired again and seemed to be phoning it in at times. so who knows what'll happen thanks for telling me how old you are and how many shows you've seen. not sure why you did or what part of my post you're responding to, but alright. uh, I turn 20 in september. I'm 5'8. I have 2 cats. I've seen rush 3 times, my 4th show will be next month. my name is bathory. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
