Steve Smith Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Tom Sawyer was pretty heavy. I mean Metallica and Megadeth would be proud of Alex riffs on that. By Tor Beneath Between Behind was real metal riffing In the End was a big metal power ballad Bastille Day Anthem Passage To Bankok was pretty dark Sabbath type riffs If you are talking about dark metal then Cygnus was pretty dark. I mean a lot of chord progressions to inspire thrash chords. I mean "Atomised through the core until the astral door". Man!!! these were great unusual dissonant chord sequences by Alex!!!! So many nods to Sabbath there so I don't necessarily think that "Heavy" should have to mean utterly distorted Steve In The End was a great power ballad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Smith Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Something for Nothing live. If Different Stages disc 3, then like a million likes. That version rocks, but I was listening to ATWAS. ATWAS is wrong sorry. Alex uses a Les Paul and Marshalls to get incredible power. It just loses all of the subtlety of the first 4 albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for ATWAS he needed a lot more power so went for a rack of Marshalls with a LesPaulLost the subtlety and the tone of the studio albums IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 After a few years of neglect i seem to be listening to nothing but HYF these days. What a beautifully put together album. Powerful yet relaxing, uplifting yet quite dark. Classy piece of work If had to name a short-list for fav Rush album, HYF would defo be on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Smith Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I don't think any Rush songs are "Heavy Metal" they are all better than that. "Heavy Metal" is just a label that was invented by the music press in the mid 70's to try to catagorise leather and chains and Harley Davisons etc. and macho posturing The best examples I could give of the misogyny associated with "Heavy Metal" would be Rob Halford and David Lee Roth who epitomised the macho approach but then but came out as gay. That is great, happy that they did but it blows the silly genre apart. :finbar: :finbar: :drool: :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
