Thunder Bay Rush Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Since there is so much press on the 40th B Day of 2112, wouldn't it be cool if the boys went back in and recorded the whole side one again with modern studio gear and effects? The same lyrics, but somewhat different mixing, effects, Neil's new drum sound... Geddy could sing in it a lower register so his testicles don't explode in his pants. Imagine this with Broon on the board... I'd buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) No, it wouldn't be cool. Moving on to new material is better than redoing 2112. Not redoing 2112 is better than redoing 2112. Edited May 1, 2016 by JohnnyBlaze 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're going to be together again in the studio, I'd much rather it be new material. I'm sure they would rather that, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your_Lion Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'd rather listen to one of the modern albums re-recorded with 70's analogue studio gear and effects, than vice versa...but that's just me :P 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony R Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 If I walk across a busy road 5 times blindfolded without getting run over it doesn't alter the fact that it was a very stupid idea. The OP is that stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 When Rush went in to record 2112, they were under all kinds of pressure to put the commercial failure of Caress Of Steel behind them, generate some accessible songs and sell records .. What they did, at the risk of going down in a blaze of glory, was to fly the middle finger in the face of the stifling forces that were no longer supportive .. Geddy and Alex still have that fire, and if only they could find that oppressive downer to fly the middle finger too, just for that added boost of **** you 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Thunder Bay Rush - despite what other members have said so far, I bet a lot of people would buy it. I agree that it's highly doubtful something like that would ever happen. Would it be "cool" if it happened? I don't know - it might be cool if it were an expanded concept. Also, I think if it brought Neil back into a space for being creative again, that would be great. But he out of all of them would probably most reject the notion of redoing an album. A while back I think I suggested that I'd be all over remixes or re-recordings of some of the cheesier synth stuff from the 80s - things that dropped the synths and heavied up the overall sound. I think I caught hell for that suggestion, as well. Edited May 1, 2016 by toymaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) That would be as welcoming as New Coke. Tuned down, Geddy singing lower. Sounding old and tired. Just sad, disappointing and depressing.

No reason they couldn't use the original vocal track, I suppose. Still, there doesn't really seem to be a point to it. The original guitars, bass, and drums all sound great.

At the time of conception & recording, 2112 was Rush's last hurrah. They thought they were being shitcanned & so put their all into what they believed was to be their last album. A "re-imagining" would only serve to dilute & cheapen a great rock album. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'd be open to it, I'll admit. But I'd much rather see new material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefeltner11 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Any and all sentiment aside, I'd obviously buy anything the boys put out; cheap rehash or not. Can I say this is something I would ever explicitly ask for? No. Is it something I would buy anyway and probably enjoy? Yes. The real disappointment wouldn't be in the quality of the new version, but in where that time could have been spent more creatively in giving us a new studio album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
