Norm Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Saw them first also at the Colston Hall Bristol may1979, hemispheres tour with Max Webster as support. Great gig. Saw them again Hammy odeon, moving pictures tour. Always liked them especially Geddys playing but left them behind after that & havent heard any of their more recent stuff. Got a bit of a listening pilgrimage to do thanks to this thread! Check out Max Webster too, if you've never heard of them before. Albums "a million vacations" & "universal juvenilies" worth a listen. The track "battle scar" is Max W & Rush playing together, titanic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 A mate of mine introduced me to Max Webster's stuff a few years back as he'd been a big fan. Kim Mitchell a bit of an underrated guitarist. I was surprised how Zappa-esque some of their material was. I think they were on one of the 1979 TOTP's programmes from last year, their only appearance and slightly incorrectly introduced as 'The Max Webster Band'.

Simon. Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 [quote name='SingleMalt' timestamp='1420325138' post='2648186'] I wonder how many people were inspired to get into Bass by Geddy. I know I certainly was. [/quote] Not inspired to take up the bass, but most certainly inspired to take it seriously... I was in a band with some mates at school, and as there was an overabundance of guitarists and I was the least experienced/competant, I wound up on bass. I had got to grips with most of the basics but wasn't really that enthused about playing bass, until I heard LA Villa Strangiato on the Fluff Freeman rock show... totally blew my mind both as a band, and that you could achieve that sound and skill on a bass. Wow. Went out the next day and bought Exit... and the rest is history. Only managed to see them once - on the Roll the Bones tour (which I quite like as an album), and it was an awesome stage show.

White Cloud Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Moving Pictures...for me easily their best. Almost magical. Not a fan of the post Peart tragedy era I'm afraid...but still absolute legends and probably my all time favourite band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadofsix Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 They have my vote for being one of the tightest bands, if not the tightest band, on the planet.

I love the song, the power, the dynamics, Alex's chords, how much they seem to be in the moment, that undefinable magic. Why? [/quote] Yeah. If you love Rush (as I do) then that particular period really seems to capture what makes them what they are (in our eyes). Exemplar material, if you like. Not sure that really answers the original question mind - but how do you actually describe why you like a certain band/genre/style or piece of music?

JTUK Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 [quote name='ubit' timestamp='1420475949' post='2649740'] There's far too many songs from a 40 year career to try and get a non believer into Rush in just a few pages of a forum. The camera eye undoubtedly is amazing and comes from my favourite album , but it's the instrumentals that for me, show the sheer awesomeness of those guys musical abilities [media]http://youtu.be/WddSQVTwj_Y[/media] [/quote] I don't really know if this track is typical... but I'll wager it is as it sounds like everything else I've heard from them... not that I have dug deep to check them out, tbf. My take is that it is proficient but there is no heart and soul ...and just no music in it. That is about as polite as I can be. Very successful over the years, no doubt.
