bathory Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 the solo in kid gloves alone is more memorable than anything on echo, snakes or vapor I have no idea what solo you're talking about. yeah, I forgot. if a song has synths, it doesn't have guitar. even if it does.

I'm sure it has a guitar, I just remember really bad lyrics and tons of synths. Kid Gloves would be the worst song on T4E or VT, and it doesn't come close to Far Cry and the S&A instrumentals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I actually really like Countdown Geddy is inspired both vocally and on bass - the bass is killer And I love the Altered Beast / Super R-Type synth breaks Countdown !!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are crazy dude! Like me coz I do as well haha Overall, I do like Grace Under Pressure better than Signals. Not top five, but a great record. But I still like Countdown more. And for the record, I don't hear an abundance of synth in Kid Gloves anyway. It's not anything like the song that follows it. Oh, and just an aside...Segue, I'm surprised you didn't seize on bathory's Lady Gaga reference, hahaha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 This one was very tough for me. Kid Gloves has some great guitar work that Countdown lacked, but Countdown I think is just a better song, and you get a VERY rare moment of Geddy shredding the keys, something he doesn't really do ever.
