DistantEarlySignals Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I wonder if they will dedicate Losing It to him tomorrow night. Or maybe Between The Wheels, DEW or possibly something new (?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_World_Man Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 ^ Or afterimage. The thing is Geddy never met Chris although he was as mentioned a huge influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78jazz Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 ^ Or afterimage. The thing is Geddy never met Chris although he was as mentioned a huge influence. I thought Squire had talked about seeing Rush in 1983 in London and that they had a meeting to discuss him as a possible producer for GUP. If my memory is wrong, someone please straighten me out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Squire had talked about seeing Rush in 1983 in London and that they had a meeting to discuss him as a possible producer for GUP. If my memory is wrong, someone please straighten me out.According to Squire, that's true. Have you ever met or had a chance to play with Geddy Lee? The man cites you as his biggest influence and was curious if that ever happened?I have met Geddy Lee a long time ago at Wembley Arena when Rush played there. In fact, I was a possible canditate to produce a Rush album, but when I showed up there, Trevor Horn was sitting next to me. [laughs] I said to Trevor “What are you doing here?” and he said “Oh, I’ve been asked to come and meet the band because I might be producing them”, and I said “so have I!”. That was quite a long time ago – the early 80’s, I think. He cites me as a big influence? Well, that’s very nice of him. They do good work, that band. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterimage would make more sense. I said DEW and BTW, since as mentioned here, Chris almost produced GUP. I do see Losing It as a candidate for dedication.

78jazz Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I may be a fool, or someone's memory was/is messing with them. Geddy's statement seems to be that he never met him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtrushfan Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I bet they will do "Losing It" tomorrow night for Chris Squire.I love "Afterimage", but I feel like we would have heard it already on this tour if they were going to play it at any point.

HalfwayToGone Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 they should just learn a part or two of close to the edge or anything else off that album and whip it out somewhere unexpectedly. Heart of The Sunrise anyone? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart of The Sunrise anyone? Ged playing heart of the sunrise with that gritty, nasty, disgusting (in a good way) beastly Fender Jazz sound would be orgasmic.

Catch The Mystery Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 If they dedicate a song to Chris tonight I really hope that someone will record it in good quality and will put it on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevind2112 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I think we need a few more threads in the wrong forums about this guy's death. "This guy" was an incredible bass player, a forerunner in early classic prog, and a HUGE influence on Geddy's (and really the whole band's) playing. This is one of those rare times where I don't mind threads in the wrong place. :) RIP Chris... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 It would be so cool if Geddy played a portion of The Fish that segues straight into the main riff of Red Barchetta. That would SO fit like a glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symmetre Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Very sad news indeed. Chris Squire was a hugely talented and wildly creative man. I shudder to think of how many bassists continue to be influenced by his ideas. Poo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) SPOILER ALERT Geddy could put 30 secs of this bass line ( Heart of the Sunrise ). http://youtu.be/kHl6sDLX8tQ?t=35s into here http://youtu.be/Dc6EcU3CxvU?t=4m56s Edited June 29, 2015 by custom55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
