Lucas Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I think the video for Time Stand Still is amazing, one of the best!! http://youtu.be/dMSFqXGZ5TQ The epic ridiculousness of Geddy's hair in this video gave rise to my username I still prefer this version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trw5Dd8l2Gc Oh yes, the hair. Here is geddy talking about it (4:25 mark) I always loved the robes though! BTW has anybody here dined on honey dew or drunk the milk of paradise? I miss Ged's voice from the 70's but I can understand why some like his 80's voice/approach better. I think neil's lyrics became more interesting in the 80's and beyond but I'm more partial to the their epic songs even though during the 70's his lyric content was not always as well crafted. Geddy's voice was the thing that I immediately loved about the band - and by this, I mean his 70s voice Welcome to the forum J335 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so wish we could get a reaction video of Alex and Geddy watching this. You gotta know they'd both be in hysterics. Neil....maybe an amused grunt. :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Nick R is Rush's worst producer. He still has to helm a song/album that doesn't make my ears bleed. You'd think he also produced Vapor Trails. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Test For Echo is lyrically brilliant... Hahahaha!!!! Stole my thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Vapor Trails is a masterpiece, and Earthshine is a better song than Hemispheres. Glad I missed this thread until now. Both you and Narps stole my thunder a year ago. "Test For Echo" lyrically is a disaster. "Vapor Trails" is a 100% fail record. More like a masterpiece of shite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Vapor Trails (original or remix) is the heaviest set of songs since the debut, and contains the most emotional performances since the debut.Neil loses the tubular bells and ethnic samples and plays the drum kit like he means it, in a very Keith Moon-like way at times. One of my favorite NP performances; all guts, no unnecessary bells and whistles, and played on what sounds like a very basic, bare-bones, drum kit. There is some great music on this record.:goodone: :cheers: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobes335 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 This is kinda on topic. I did a parody of Rush in the studio during 2112 secessions check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q-kISGirj0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnoble Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) I didn't care for the R40 setlist (the first half). They absolutly shouldve done at least one song from every album, no skipping. I'm still annoyed well over a year later that they totally ignored four albums, three of them in a row. My changes wouldve been less newer songs from CA and Snakes and one or two less from Moving Pictures/Signals to make room for The Big Money alternating with/Marathon, Force Ten alternating with Turn The Page or Mission, Show Don't Tell alternating with The Pass or Neil's pre-tour wish of performing Hand Over Fist live. TFE couldve been Driven or the title song or Half The World. Edited November 3, 2016 by jnoble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I like this thread... ...so... I know many will disagree, but I find that seventies Rush hit me hard, got me excited...but ultimately wore off me. The albums I initially disliked were Signals through to SA. For the most part...those are now MY Rush albums. My top ten: 1. Hold Your Fire2. Roll The Bones3. Vapor Trails4. Grace Under Pressure5. Presto6. Moving Pictures7. Permanent Waves8. Power Windows9. A Farewell To Kings10. Snakes And Arrows And the rest? Aside from a handful of songs...meh... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh...I find it amazing that I love Rush as much as I do considering I rarely connect to the lyrics. To me the words are just a theme to add to the far more splendid music. But I never sit and read Rush lyrics like poetry the way I do, say, Springsteen or The Beatles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnoble Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 HYF is one of their most underrated albums. With the trimming of a couple of the weaker songs it could've been a classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
