blending strings Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I absolutely love the guitar solo on this song. I also love the blending between guitars, keys, and bass with the drums giving them room and space to "blend" and flourish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Paging toymaker... Not a real favourite of mine. It's okay, but not fantastic. To JARG's point, though, it does have a very nice solo spot from Alex. The solo is the only thing I like about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Barchetta Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 This is a thread in defense of Chemistry. I love this tune!!! I love putting Signals on because I can just let the record go without skipping - the first 3 tracks especially are great! Plus, you get to hear Geddy say "ELECTRICITY!" Classic. That's just me. I've noticed a lot of people ranking Chemistry as one of their least favorite songs from this era of Rush. I'd love to know you opinion on the matter!! No defense needed with me, I dig the tune. The most flawed tune on Signals to me is Digital Man. It's got that one funky section which feels out of place.Dude! Digital Man kicks ass! Don't you like the build up to Lifeson just shredding that guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Sure. I've got no problem with it.That is a Bay area response if I've ever read one! Classic. I have no problem with it and I'm from the Bay Area too. I've learned over the last 25 years that I have no "Chemistry" with women. Well it was with one and it's over. I can't believe my marriage is over during the same year Rush could be over. I will choose Rush over a woman going forward. It's biology.................

The rest of the song kick's butt and I love playing the bass part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Excellent song. Excellent album. Pretty much the last one in my view although Grace Under Pressure was very good. The rest since all pale in comparison for various reasons in my view. Not a view shared by all or many I realize... Agree completely with this statement.Us DC boys gotta stick together. Not sure of your age but if you are old like me then us old dudes gotta stick together too ... :cheers: Ha - totally agree! We have good taste no question. (for the record early 40s) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DadRockGirl Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I absolutely love Chemistry. The chords, the bass-line, the way Geddy says 'transmitted' :7up: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willowroolz Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I love Chemistry. Gutted I never saw them play it live. I remember the Signals laser show that toured round when the album came out. I saw it at the Planetarium in London. I vividly remember the lasers spelling out 'H - 2 - 0' during the song. Marvellous :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushIslander Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I don't understand any hate for this song, but that's just my opinion. I think it's cool that Al did the high bass pedal parts in the pre~chorus part, live at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JARG Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I don't understand any hate for this song, but that's just my opinion. I think it's cool that Al did the high bass pedal parts in the pre~chorus part, live at least. I remember being momentarily freaked out when I saw him do that back in the day. I had assumed Geddy would've played that part if they did it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman2112 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Great song on a great album. Signals is a solid album all the way through top to bottom and my first Rush concert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
