Date: Mon, 13 May 91 15:02:22 EDT From: RUSH Fans Digest Manager <rush-mgr> Just a quick note: it's fairly obvious that things are a bit slow lately; they usually are in the couple of months before an album release. We've exhausted most of the topics from previous albums, and are waiting for the new one to spawn new threads. I just want to vent a little steam in response to a mail msg. I just received. The person wanted to be removed from the list because it was "lame" and had a s/n ration of ".3". Just for my own curiosity, I checked the back issues, and this person had not posted anything themselves in the past couple of months issues. It ticked me off that this person was complaining about the content of the group, yet had added nothing of their own. Quelling my first response (which could have been neatly summed up in two short words totaling seven letters), I decided to turn this in a positive direction. The (nameless) person complained about the satanism thread, as well as the anti-drug posts. Now I abhor a lack of content as much as the next person, but I feel that the only stupid question is that which is unasked. Who knows, maybe somebody with a hazy idea about christianity/satanism/rock (I use lower case on purpose; I don't worship any of the above) had their view clarified, or maybe somebody with a firm opinion was jarred and made to (re)think their position. Lastly, that same person made me think a bit; postings are nice to have, but let's try to limit them to Rush-related topics with some sort of value of content. Think about what you have to say, and use your common sense, imagination (and maybe a dictionary). Personally, I have very strong opinions about the two topics mentioned here, but they are to a great deal opinion, not directly related to Rush and don't really belong here. Let's try to keep this an interesting forum for the discussion of what it's intended for. Oh, one P.S.: In light of the SCTV/Count Floyd mentions later on, it brings back the memory a few years ago of a (car) camping trip. I'd brought a live tape from '82 or '83, and it had the Count Floyd video part before "The Weapon". We'd had a few beers, and it sunk in as to what he said: "So scary, you'll want to tear your own heads off!" We cackled over that for a good 15 minutes!!!! I also like the line: "Ooh, listen to the synthesisers - scary!"

I am a Christian myself, and I attend church (when i'm not at school 8), and it amazes me, the silly things these brain-dead morons come up with... I like my youth pastor, for example, but when he says things lke "peace signs are just crosses upside down and are Satanic", it makes me want to vomit profusely and them whack the man upside the head! I can't believe they would waste time bashing a very good band-- a band that has has really good lyrics and awesome music, not the really stupid stuff you hear in the radio/top 40 mainstream these days. I mean, i've heard stupider things, like Cyndi Lauper's "She Bop" is about masturbation (which, from what I hear, has *some* basis on fact), and that there are backward messages in Queen's and the Beatles' music. I mean, what are they going to do about it? Why do they feel they need to protect their precious little children from ALL possible bad outside influences? Why not let them make their own decisions? (Freewill? 8) And why bother pointing out all the *bad* things? Do they think Gospel and Christian rock are the only kinds of music worth listening to? Heaven forbid there be variety in this world! (aside note: i've heard that they think even Christian heavy metal is satanic. ARGH!). If they spent half as much time as they waste doing this working on the social problems Rush's songs talk about sometimes, this might even be a decent world to live in. VERY IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: this is only my very humble opinion and should not be taken as gospel (no pun intended). I only feel this is a fault of the Christian church, and it is not an attempt to bash it in any way. (I get this from the 10+ years i was in Christian schools and attending church) p.s. I didn't mean to get off the subject quite so much.... sorry.

Well, I just happened to have been reading a book on Greek myths by Robert Graves, where he tells the myth from several sources, then explains it. Most of his explanations centered on the switch from matriarchal society to patriarchal (along with some really interesting parallels in Hebrew, Caananite, and British mythology), and the image of the man bound to a flaming wheel he considered a sun-god image. Either that, or tying the "sacred king" (whoever had the honor of marrying the queen/priestess and then dying at the end of his term-- 6 months or one year at first, but as things switched, that got longer) to a flaming wheel was one of the myriad ways different cities changed kings. Quite an interesting book...but very thick. While I'm running on about Greek myths, the version I remember about Pan and Syrinx was this: Pan, the god of nature, fell in love with the nymph Syrinx, the daughter of one of the river gods around there. She wasn't particularly taken with him (well, he's got goat legs and horns!), and ran away until she was cornered on a reedy bank of her father's river. So she prayed to Daddy, and he changed her into one of the reeds. Pan cut several of the reeds and made a pan-pipe out of them in commemoration of Syrinx. Now, Robert Graves would go on about goat clans replacing the earlier worship of the river goddess or something. Whatever. So, the Priests of Syrinx would be anti-Pan, if the name came from this myth...but who knows what made Neil choose that name anyway.

This is my first post, so let's see if it makes it. First, hello to all fellow Rush fans! Second, I downloaded the tablature from rush/tab and I noticed that there is no indication of the lengths of the notes. This may be fine for experienced players, but not for beginners like me. I have a suggestion. At the top of the bars, use W,H,Q,E,S,T,X to signify whole, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth, thirty-second, and sixty-fourth notes (or maybe 1,2,4,8,S,T,X). In the example below, the first note is a quarter note, the second is an eighth note, and the third is a quarter note. I think this would make learing the stuff easier. Suggestions are welcome, of course. Q H Q ------- -3---3- ------- ---1--- Third, does anyone have any more bass tab other than the start of Hemispheres that is in rush/tab? Fourth, I ftp-ed the lyrics and I noticed some errors that I thought I'd mention. I listed the song name, the line as it currently is, and the way it should be. I know there's more, but I can't recall all the corrections I made (and I deleted the original versions I downloaded). Song: Bastille Day Old: Ooh, there's stained velvet, dirty lace... New: Ooh, blood stained velvet, dirty lace... Song: Hemispheres Old: ...a stillness fell, a sound of peace New: ...a stillness fell, a sudden peace [ Thanks for the tip - I have corrected these obvious mistakes in the lyrics files. :rush-mgr ] I think I typed enough for now.

I guess I'm a graduate student with an attitude. Too many finals, too much coffee etc. Ireally got off on a tangent. My main point was supposed to be the things that set Rush appart from the others. To this point I see the use of multi meter. Granted some bands use this but it is usually so obvious. As if to say, "Look at us, we're playing in 7." I also point out their use of color vs. melody in many soloistic passages. But I think the main thing for me is the grasp of building and timing that, for me, are their strongest attribute. They have created wonderful beginnings. The opening to Camera Eye is probably my favorite. Here they incorporate suspensions to put the listener off just a little while longer. The fourth chord in the guitar of the four chords repeated over and over. I believe it is an Fsus. They repeat this umteen times and yet when they change they have put the listener off long enough and they take you to the next section, C maj?, instead of just dropping it into your lap. Other "great beginnings" are La Villa, Red Barchetta, Xanadu! and more I'm sure, these are just off the top of my head. Another way they set them selves apart is that they don't start writing a song with a time stipulation in mind, which lets them create. I can't see them sitting down with 4'and 33" of time left to fill on the vinyl or trying to fit the radio length or format in mind. I don't get the feeling of them trying to please anyone. I see it more as them doing their thing and hoping we like it. One last comment, this about being about Lime Light, I was driving along listening to this the other day in my car and I finally listened to the lyrics. They really had a lot more meaning after reading N.Peart's comments about fans, playing, the music industry etc. Enough rambling for now and, again, my apologies to Dan. bs ---------------------------------------------------------- From: mailrus!iuvax!bsu-ucs!00javaughn@uunet.UU.NET Date: Fri, 10 May 91 23:21:47 EST Subject: Playing tapes backwards Someone asked in the last NMS if anyone had heard "Anthem" backwards. If you want to hear it backwards, follow these easy steps: 1) Copy the song onto a tape that you wouldn't mind cutting apart. 2) Cut the tape that has the song on it out of the cassette and flip it upside down, and tape it back in. 3) It may be easier to cut one side, twist it, tape it back in, and then wind the tape up, being careful not to let the twist get wound up in the tape. When you are at the end of the song, cut, twist and tape. I really doubt there is anything in "Anthem." I've listened to stuff like "Stairway to Heaven" backwards, which was 'sposed to have a whole bunch of Satanic messages in it, but doesn't. The only things I've found any understandable messages in are: Pink Floyd - The Wall. Right before "Empty Spaces" The Beatles - Revolution 9. "Number Nine" says "Turn me on, dead man" backwards. Well, this really didn't have much to do with Rush, did it? As for the ol' "I never hear Rush on the radio" bit, I heard two Rush songs on Q95 last night. "Territories" at about 8, and "Working man" at about 1 a.m. Later. ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 11 May 91 08:46 CDT From: jws3@engr.uark.edu (6079 Smith J) Subject: Cartoon NMS This morning I was being my usual vegetative self, watching Sat. morning cartoons. While watching one called "Gravedale High" with Rick Moranis doing some voices, I noticed one of the characters reading "The National Midnite Star!" Headlines were on the order of "Half-Man, Half-Horse Wins Pari-Mutuel Race...at 4500:1".

Once it is recorded, open the cassette's case--usually, there are screws that you unscrew (what else?) to do this. Lift the one half of the cassette casing off, flip the two reels around so that the tape will now be playing backwards, and reassemble the case. If I remember this correctly, there is a rubberish material that lines the inside. Really, it's easier to do this than describe it. The same friend who taught me how to do this also told me about someone he knew who searches for satanistic music. Evidently one of the most recent Phil Collins or Genesis releases qualified. (I think it was Invisible Touch.) One of the songs has a lyric where the word "lived" (or "lives") is used. Flip "lived" around and you get "devil". Pretty damning, isn't it? :-) -Chris Webster cwebster@rodan.acs.syr.edu ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 11 May 91 18:22 EDT From: Lewis A Bernstein <V087N562@ubvmsc.cc.buffalo.edu> Subject: The show 1986 If anyone happens to remember the show 1986, it was the song *TERRITORIES* that was in the beginning and it was *NOT* the song Mystic Rhythms.

Date: Sat, 11 May 91 18:50:54 WET DST Ok, so the thing isn't a pentagram. Fine. What was rush trying to say with these images then? I still feel a slight teetering towards magic, mystic, or evil thoughts when trying to decipher the pictures' meanings. Regardless of the true intent, that's what these images have, obviously, represented to some people. Pulling out Webster: a pentacle is a five-pointed star used as a magical symbol. Fine. Rush could have been thinking 'magically.' (It fails to describe a circle circumscribing the star...) The meaning of pentagram only lists the definition of: PENTACLE. Great. Thanks for the help. Remembering some occult: I once read a book about occult which talked of the pentagram (or image resembling the one on _2112_) as the summoning place of a demon. First, you would have to draw this figure on a wall or floor (I think). Then, with the help of a few other really odd things, a demon would supposedly appear in the figure: his head in the top point, legs in the bottom points, and arms in their respective side points. It seems that if their were a pentagon in the center of the figure, the demon would be blocked. (This is MY conclusion, not proof.) Olympics of the Mind/Odyssey of the Mind: Ever do this in high or junior high school? Well, we did a balsa-wood structure for ours. Weight was to be placed on it until it broke. The most weight wins. You also had to act the thing out in a skit. We chose to use the forces of good and evil as our skit. Good guys wore white robes, bad guys wore black. We contructed a pentagram from wood and red string (for the star). We were going to put candles at the points, but the fire aspect ruled that out. The bad guys put the balsa structure in the middle and then proceeded to "worship" it. The good guys would then place weights on the structure, each one forcing not only the structure to be hurt, but also the bad guys. When the structure collapsed, good prevailed over the then-dead bad guys. Anyways, we really didn't know anything about occult, but were just trying to do a skit. It turned out pretty well, but I got a nasty bleeding from a razor blade I used to slice the string with. I thought for a moment a demon would come with the blood, but, thank goodness, he was a no-show. rush-mgr: Someone left a note to you discussing the dead-ness of this issue. Should we not discuss a certain item after a certain amount of responses or should everyone have their time to speak on a topic that they want to resolve?

Ryan <pat@iris1.gsfc.nasa.gov> Subject: p/g, alex, philly, etc Date: Mon, 13 May 91 11:29:25 EDT Due to the fact that my entire family was out of the house this past Saturday, I decided to go rent a Rush video since I had never seen one before. I grabbed the Grace Under Pressure Tour concert video since that was the first tour on which I had a chance to see them ( and p/g happens to be one of my favorite Rush albums ). As I expected, I enjoyed it immensely. My only complaint was that the editing was very distracting in parts. There were places where there would be several minutes of 1-2 seconds clips of the show. I'd be trying to watch Alex's hands (since I'm a guitarist) but my brain couldn't react fast enough. Has anyone else had this problem? Next, I'd like to offer a totally non-musical observation on Alex's style. For you guitarists out there, have you ever noticed that Alex really doesn't like stretching his hand out very much? If he can help it, he never stretches his hand over more than 4 frets, 3 if possible. He doesn't go for the Robert Fripp 'I can put an octave between my index finger and pinky' chords. This observation was confirmed when I watched the video this weekend. The moral of the story is: If you're trying to figure out a chord in a Rush song, ask yourself, "What's the easiest way to make this sound right?" If you're stretching your hand too much, you're probably doing it wrong. And now for something completely different ... Who is the guy from SCTV who introduces 'The Weapon' dressed up as a vampire in the p/g video? I just about busted a gut watching that! Can anyone give us any more details about the relationship between Rush and the old SCTV bunch? The other obvious reference is Geddy's vocal on 'The Great White North' ('... It's ok. I memorized them. I'm a professional' ). [ To digress a bit, the 'vampire' is Count Floyd, who hosts "Monster Horror Chiller Theater" (?) on SCTV. The connection, as far as I can tell, is that Geddy went to school with a couple of the members (Rick?). There are a few cross-overs; Count Floyd, Geddy/Take Off and the name of this fine digest you're reading (in only 1/2 D, unless you have...) :rush-mgr ] What would I do if I met Rush? Well, I'd probably ask Alex several dozen questions of the form, "How do you play chord X in song Y?" Since I don't know diddley about drums so I'd ask Neil about his bicycle trip in China. That sounded pretty cool. I might also bring a copy of that venerable document, the TNMS FAQL. If I was lucky, I could get them to verify its accuracy and fill in some of the holes. And lastly, best wishes to everyone attending the Rush party in Philly next weekend. Unfortunately, I can't attend 'though I'll actually be in town that weekend. I'll be busy graduating down at the Convention Center. I wanted to be in on the Rush Jam but my broken strumming arm would have precluded that anyway. :-( But hey, we'll have Rush Party II later this summer in DC, right?

Satanic Hymns? Date: Mon, 13 May 91 9:02:00 EDT Boy, I love this subject! Thanks to Eric Kay, for your review of that silly Hell's Bells video. Even better, you included the address and phone number of the organization that puts this thing out. I'll have to call 'em up and see the vid for myself. These goofy evangelists crack me up! I'd find it absolutely hilarious, except for remembering that far too many people take this stuff seriously. Anyway, the rush-mgr said in response: > I wish somebody would play recorded religious hynms backwards and see > what "satanic messages" pop up! I've actually seen (and heard) this happen on a religious 'documentary' a few years ago. It was a typical anti-rock crusade, but they whipped out a few christian records (contemporary and choral) to see if anything could be found when playing them backwards. A couple of songs actually had reverse messages, and the reaction to 'Jesus loves you' in the music practically had the hosts in fits. "Oh Lord, it's a miracle! Hallelujah!" It was quite obvious that these messages were put in on purpose (you could hear backwards speech in the music to begin with); no divine intervention, sorry! Backmasking has no demonstrable effect on listeners, but isn't it curious that 'Jesus loves you' hidden in music is a "miracle," but 'Satan loves you' is horrid insidious perverted nastiness? I'm happy to say that I've known some very reasonable and caring theists, but these geeks never fail to astound me with their lack of rational thought. -- ron rader, jr rlr@bbt.com OR ...!mcnc!bbt!rlr = Opinions are my own and do | | i gotta six-pack & nothing to do... = not necessarily reflect those | | i gotta six-pack & i don't need you = of BroadBand Tech.
