It is buried under 3 inches of asbestos.

treeduck Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 This guitar solo is epic! I wonder why Lifeson seems unable to create great guitar solos since the mid 80's? (Apart from one or two) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Apart from one or two) Don't ask me. I've wondered the same thing. Not sure if he got lazy or just burned himself out early.It's like his tone and his balls went after years of playing like The Edge. There's none of that great ballsy sustain he used to have in his solos since 1985 or so, and little of the melodic content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my untrained ears, he reached his peak with Hemispheres and sustained that level for a few years, more or less. After that, it became hit and miss.

After that, it became hit and miss.It's when he started the new wave style, he played like that from about 1984 to about 1992 and when he tried to play in more of a hard rock style on Counterparts and Test For Echo, it didn't quite happen, it's like he forgot how to do it. He couldn't quite shake the new wave malaise. Even a good solo like on Cut to the Chase is still more of a new wave solo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
