This thread is for either lamentations for or anger about the demise of a great hard prog rock band degenerating into a not particularly interesting soft rock trio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Geddy has definitely found a better look. Looks like he cut his hair himself. Budgets were tighter back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Speak for yourself. Signals is hands down my favorite Rush album of all time, and I like the entire rest of the period with the exception of the overrated (IMO) Power Windows, of which I like half. Part of me wishes they modernized their synth-rock sound in their latter years, instead of the noisy mess we got on Vapor Trails through CA.

If a pic is worth a thousand words than that poster may be the greatest post of why we dont care for the synth years. It wasnt bad enough the music had changed but it was like they had too... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked "new wave" which was about as far musically as you could get from pre-Moving Pictures Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patjnev Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81HW9oFpudL._SL1500_.jpg All I want to know is why? It's not the hair ( well maybe in Geddy's case yes) , it's not the clothes . It's the POSE! Can they get closer together? It looks like Neil is sitting on Geddy's lap.

It looks like Neil is sitting on Geddy's lap.Well, the photographer's original idea for the pose was INDEED Neil on Geddy's lap while he nibbled affectionately on Alex's left ear. However, the band didn't think it accurately portrayed their relationship so they went with this final shot, a compromise of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coon skin cap with satellite dishes,look Whoever talked him into that did him no favors.Actually, this was during Geddy's egoistic years. He thought to himself, "Those two bums are getting new hairstyles?! I'm the frontman!!! I'm the face of Rush!!! I'll show them a haircut! I'll show them all!!!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
