JohnRogers Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 So after 40 years of the RUSH music we listen to what are some played out themes that Neil not visit again. The passage of time. Being uncomfortable with strangers. What are your themes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day of Light Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Women.Really??? Huh, not on my list. I may have to listen for that. Pretty much the entirety of Counterparts is about relationships/females, and some of Hold Your Fire as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Neil was at his best when he dipped into religion and all it's glorious Technicolor imagery Unfortunately, as he got older and too damn literal and all jaded, all this great imaginative cinematic music came to an end ..

goose Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The Gadd fill. "Aja"Just watched a couple of YouTube sessions with Steve going over those fills, followed by the song Aja itself. Amazing stuff. But Neil's obsession with integrating it has become a little :zzz: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The Gadd fill. "Aja"Just watched a couple of YouTube sessions with Steve going over those fills, followed by the song Aja itself. Amazing stuff. But Neil's obsession with integrating it has become a little :zzz: I totally get it. Yeah the "Aja" song itself is amazing. When I met Gadd I called in the "King Of The Triplet." He looked up at me and smiled. He asked me if I played the drums. I said, "heck yes 35 years." He signed his latest album for me. It' said..... "Earl, keep playing!" Steve Gadd" Great guy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil1972 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Album titles that end with "S". (I am assuming the titles are Neil's domain, since he also writes the lyrics.)

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Neil should write lyrics about how fat and stupid Americans are. He seems to love that theme in his books 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Neil should write lyrics about how fat and stupid Americans are. He seems to love that theme in his books Well, we are. And didn't he get naturalized and is now a fat, stupid American himself? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Man vs machine and all metaphors associated with this dychotomy - that was all over the place in the 80's. That and "flickering lights". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
