I find that I get myself into modes where I'll listen to something from them, and then, in disgust, toss it back onto the shelf where its sits unlistened. Later, by some fluke maybe, or on a whim, I pull it out and throw it into the CD player, only to rediscover it. Suddenly, I'm pulling the albums out that surround it, or are in a similiar phase. This happens continually. For the person who rated "Presto" last on his list, he may turn that around in 6 months. Rush has changed enough and has provided us with enough material that we can go through moods with their music. So, it's not which is their best or worst song/album/cover/producer etc. It's who are you today what what mood are you in? The best Rush is whatever is playing at the time. The worst, well it has to be my track of Spirit of Radio...the one with the skip/stick in it...that track really sucks :-) (so I got a new CD.....)

So it seems to me they were playing with the sound of Rap, and what resulted is not Rap, not a joke, just Rush experimenting with a new musical sound. But to me it sounds like Rap and regardless if its a joke or not it is hard to 'get into' like 'normal' Rush music. I also remember in the same interview that Geddy doing the voice was a result of many auditions that were turned down. They just couldn't find someone they liked-for it made it sound "too Rapy". As for the lyrics, it definitely isn't "Rapy", it is more of the same theme of the rest of the album: Chance, circumstances, Roll the Bones!

Those types of passwords would be almost impossible to figure out, even if the perpetrator *knew* that they related to RUSH. *Obviously* using words like "geddy" and "presto" might get you in trouble.

Date: Thu, 27 May 1993 00:02:47 -0400 (EDT) I guess you could say I'm fairly new to Rush, since I didn't really get into them until last September, but the way I got hooked was listening to four friends of mine do covers of Rush's stuff together. The first Rush song I ever heard was a medley they did of Xanadu/YYZ, then Time Stand Still. My friend who was the band's guitarist loaned me ASOH, and, well, the rest is history, as they say. --Alyson ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 26 May 1993 21:08:26 -0700 (PDT) From: Chris 'Mortimer' Chamberlin <chrisch@catseq.catlin.edu> Subject: Longest before vocals, and such randomness... Well, as the original poster on the "What's the longest time before the vocals come in" thread, I thought I'd follow up. Xanadu is indeed the winner - the vocals come in at ~5:03, compared to ~4:28 for 2112 and somewhat less for Hemispheres. Hmm... seems to me that many of Rush's finest songs are also rather long (Xanadu, 2112, The Camera Eye, Natural Science, LVS, etc). "Critical Mass" would be made one better, IMHO, with a nice long song along those lines. I know Rush has moved beyond those epics of old, but a nice long jam could be a real winner... Next in the ever more obscure trivia - As Rush has "matured" (?), Geddy has displayed an aversion to the "hey babys" of In The Mood, that eternal staple of the concert-ending medleys. What might be some of the words he's replaced "baby" with? How about a hint - in listening to my newly aquired Spirit of St. Louis CD boot, he says something, but I can't figure out what the hell it is. By the way, The Spirit of St. Louis (from the PeW tour, as you might have guessed) is a fine boot - a definite highlight of it is Natural Science, never a favorite of mine until I got this version. Also recently aquired is Over The Europe, which is just as good as everyone else has been claiming. -- Chris ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: 27 May 1993 01:40:51 -0500 (EST) From: FAC_JROUSE@VAX1.ACS.JMU.EDU Subject: Worst guitar solo (By a great player) I don't seem to recall any of Alex Lifeson's guitar solos as being "bad". Some of them aren't very memorable though. I would like to say that there is one particular guitar solo by an INCREDIBLE guitarist that absolutely drives me crazy over how sloppy it is and how it leaves me wincing everytime I hear it. I'm refering to Steve Howe's solo in "Heat of the Moment" on the first Asia album. I think that it just flat out sucks. The structure is OK, but the actual playing is horrible and there are some definite nonharmonic (out of key) notes near the end of the solo. Maybe he intended for the solo to sound like it does in order to make a statement that even though he was in a "pop" band he was still the same "art rocker" he had always been. Maybe not. I don't think that Alex has done a solo that stands out as being so far beneath his average output as Howe's solo on that song is from his usual virtuosic performances. Please feel free to flame me personally about this. Could someone please send me the address for the Primus list? Also, what particular song took the longest to get used to? Mine is probably "Vital Signs" from Signals. I got the album in late '84 and had a difficult time listening to that song until around late '91. I don't know why, but it freaks me out that I used to skip such an awesome song. Oh well!

I seem to remember it as 'homeboy'. Sorry. MC Peeert strikes again I think. > Subject: RUSH PASSWORDS and SECURITY RISK. [...] > a large security risk if you do? Anyone with some brains could go > through the list of people subscribing to the nms trying album and > musician names as passwords. Hmmm... not sure I agree it's a security risk. Could be if you pick something embarrassingly obvious like 'geddy' or - yes, you at the back there, we know who you are - 'rush'. Mind you, 'Zgedneil' is an old password of mine, I suppose that's a bit obvious really. Oh well. I'm sure you can keep them obscure enough for it to not be a problem. Unless the cracker's a major Rush fan, then you have problems. More to the point, I don't think crackers deserve to be thought of as 'anyone with some brains'. Any *moron* could do that. And no, fact fans, my current password is not Rush-related. Used to be, though. >Peter Collins was producing it, that it would be along similar lines to PW and AFAIK writing PW (not PeW or PoW) is a hanging offence... :) ^^ > that the band has dumped Critical Mass as the title. Is this news? [...] Mumble! If they dump Critical Mass as a title I will be one unhappy bunny. I hope this is disinformation. Otherwise I hope the album is damn good to make up for this. > I have a suggestion.....We should keep a file with all of Neils writings. > I big and huge file with all his writings.....He is such an excellent > writer.... > albertr Uh yeah, get typing... :) I'll try to see if I've got anything else, but I'm not sure. I've got exams next week too, but they don't matter (um... HHOS on that one). Anyway, I certainly think that 'for whom the bus rolls' is a seriously neat journal, and I really want to see the 1st bit! I think a single file for all Neil's stuff is a bit awkward, maybe a separate directory under 'special' on syrinx? Maybe all of the 'special' directory should be sorted into directories like this? Maybe I should stop saying 'maybe'? It's all too much.

Before the show started they played Limelight, and Freewill, which got me to a good start. The show begins........... The band can paly really good live, the bassists was pretty incredible for the first 30 minutes, and then he lamed out. The keyboradist was really good. the guitarist was really good, the drummer was good with the band, but without the band all he did was copy Neils drum solo. Part of his solo was just like the solo from ESL. Anyways, the band can still a few lessons from Rush. They defenetely played very tight as a group. They are up & comming. TNMS shirt!

Sure is a BIG RISK!!! Anyone could crack passwords this way - or even worse: download Crack 2.0 and feed to it the Rush lyrics as a dictionary and then run it - instantly any account with a Rush-related password will be discovered. That's why I don't have passwords related to me in any way - not things I like, not things I hate. Only things that do not have anything related to me.

Date: Thu, 27 May 93 10:18:58 CDT Well, I've been listening to all of the talk about who likes and dislikes HYF and I decided to add my thoughts on the matter. I started listening to Rush at about the time of AFTK and PEW and started getting all of their albums. I loved MP on the first listen but SIGNALS, P/G, and POW all took a breaking in time. I bought HYF when it first came out and I absolutely hated it. I bought PRESTO and had the same reaction. I then went about 3 years without listening to any of the newer albums. About the time RTB came out I decided to give the newer albums another chance and now I love them. Go figure. I don't really know why the initial dislike but I now think they are great albums that just happen to be a LOT different from the earlier albums. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Robert Reynolds E-MAIL: robertr@austin.ibm.com AIX High Speed Commo Device Drivers VNET: ROBERTR at AUSTIN 11400 Burnet Rd, 905/9551 Phone: (512)838-3534 TL: 678-3534 Austin, Tx 78758 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: 27 May 1993 09:24:34 -0700 (PDT) From: SCHMITM@CGSVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU Subject: Roll the Bones Rap Hi Everybody. In yesterday's post someone wrote about how they were disappointed about Rush not playing the "rap" section live at the concer t they went to. I saw Rush last year in the early summer at the Pacific Amphitheater in Irvine, CA, and they did perform it live. It sounded fantastic!!! It was better than the studio version. In fact, it was pretty incredible. There was an added keyboard part that complimented the existing guitar/voice/drum parts perfectly. IMHO, I think that if you are completely disgusted/opposed/disappointed with the "rap" part, you should go back and listen to it again from a Rush point of view, rather than a rap point of view. I am not a fan of rap music, and at first I was tripped out that Rush could do something like this, but I have been a fan of theirs for almost 20 years and I couldn't dismiss this song just because of a shallow first impression and narrowmindedness. I did go back and listen again, and I'm glad I did. It exhibits the precision and perfection that only Rush can accomplish. They have the ability to adapt and create the most incredible music from the current styles that only one-hit-wonders can do only once. If you still don't like it, that's okay, but do it from the point of view you would dislike something of theirs and not blame it on Rap music. They did not sell out.
