    The Rush “Rabbit hole” is deep. The journey is life changing and it’s a pleasure to be along for the ride. It took me forty years to get through their entire discography, but I had to wait for them to create it. You have the entire catalog at your fingertips and I can see you want to hear everything. I suggest you pace yourself and take time to thoroughly appreciate each track. I completely understand that you want to focus on the music and that will always be enjoyable. But with Rush understanding the Lyrics improves the overall experience exponentially. Maybe try reading the lyrics through before reacting. It will allow you to understand without being a distraction.
    TBH just do this however you feel most comfortable, you are going to get a million suggestions on what and how you should react but at the end of the day we are all gonna still be watching, commenting and liking, because it’s Rush and that’s what we do. Thanks!

  • @mr.mojorisin1616
    @mr.mojorisin1616 3 роки тому +104

    This was meant as a description of Neil's time while living in New York and London in the early 70's. I've always considered this as Rush's musical version of A Tale of Two Cities (without the tragedy). Just a side note but the final guitar solo was done (as was the entire album) at LeStudio in Quebec, Canada and while recording Alex tried 5 times to nail that lead lick, couldn't get it so he set his guitar down, went outside the studio for a beer and cigarette, came back in and nailed it in one shot!
    As for the marathon Rush listen...HELL YEAH! Love to hear 2112 in one session! maybe after you could do Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves, etc. Just let us know and we'll be there with headphones at the ready! Peace and Thanks Greatly!

    Is there anything so spiritually satisfying as turning someone on to a band and seeing them just dive in headlong? Years ago, this guy I worked with asked me if RUSH was any good, because he has the chance to see them live. Of course I enthusiastically encouraged him to go. He came in the next day completely hoarse and eyes still bugging, just raving. It really felt good to help someone discover RUSH

  • @justincamp5716
    @justincamp5716 2 роки тому +6

    Love your sincere joy and smiles, guys! On, Nick's observations about Neil's intentional note choices - It's really, more than anything, what he strength was. Sure, he had chops, but above all he was a composer. Particularly when you're in a three-piece group, using the drums as a *melodic* instrument brings so much. No one wrote drum parts like him - what an amazing gift he was to us.

    One of the greatest things about Rush is the ARRANGEMENTS. When they put together a song, it seemed to be a group of musical snippets, combined with really deep lyrics often with literary references (Grace Under Pressure is one) a real storytelling insight (read Neil peart's books) and amazing technical chops PLUS dynamic range and tempo changes and composition, and finally the arranging with slight variations with each chorus or a repeated section. All the components came together on this album.

    You're idea of doing complete album reactions is a super great idea, again I feel you need to get to a chronological order to get a sense of how the boys developed as time went on, the reason Moving Pictures became such a mainstream success is a culmination of what preceded this album, the SEVEN albums released before set the stage for this incredible piece of work!

    I Just stumbled on your channel and love seeing new ******RUSH****** Fans. I've been following them since 1975 and have seen about 90 total concerts only missing the vapor trails tour and test for echoes tour. On the final tour my wife and i seen them in Tampa Fla then Alpharetta GA and finished in Greensboro NC. Watching you two remind me of my wife and I. I wish you could have seen RUSH in the 70s and 80s those were the best times to see RUSH in concert. I subbed to your channel and ENJOY you guys getting into RUSH...What puzzles me is the number of fans that don't have the STAR MAN as an Icon like me for their channel.

    That is the beauty of Rush. There is 40 years of music to listen to. Their catalog will always have something to offer the listener whether young or old. I have never tired of listening to any of their songs. I even appreciate their song “Tai Shan”. It is supposedly their least favorite song and most fans agree. However, I disagree. It tells a story and conveys mood and feelings like any other Rush song. Keep listening. Cant wait to hear what you both choose next (hint- “The Garden”).

    This song more than any other paints such a detailed picture with the lyrics. The London segment especially, I imagine myself wandering around London, going wherever my feet and the atmosphere take me, absorbing the “wistful and weathered” pride embedded in the buildings and even the ground of a city that’s existed for almost 2000 years, starting as Caer Londinium during Roman times.

  • @joesixpack8305

    I sensed from Lexi she had a rather abrasive view of Red Sector A in a quick comment she made. Geddy Lee's parents are Holocaust survivors. They met at the Auschwitz concentration camp during the war and built a romance (to the extent a concentration camp could allow). Late in the war, his father was sent to (I believe) Dachau. They both survived and after the war, he searched for her and found her. They got married and the rest is history. Red Sector A is the only song about the Holocaust experience Geddy learned from his parents. He did one other on his solo album called Grace to Grace. If the song sounds caustic it's because it's about a caustic experience in his family.

We watched as more women started coming and then children and even taking our children over the years. Dont be too hard on us older folks. We have carried the thrill of RUSH for so many years. Its impact on us has been amazing. In the chaos of today's daily living, its great to see that you take time to enjoy the music that has come before you by RUSH and so many other talented people.

    The deep cuts are what makes Rush such a beloved band. The song that never made it to radio for whatever reason are so rich in melody, creativity and most of all top tier musicianship. Then you add the meaning instrumentally and lyrically, and you have a formula for songs that will stand the test of time.
    In regards to doing a Rush album marathon, Id love to see that. Another idea would also be to do Rush's "Fear" series in one take. The Fear series consist of 4 song which ironically starts with Moving Pictures "Witch Hunt" and continues on successively from album to album. The songs were written in reverse chronological order, comparative to album release. Witch Hunt (part 3), The Weapon (Part 2), The Enemy Within (Part 1). The last song in the series is called "Freeze" and doesn't follow the album release pattern. In regards to this series of song, the lyrics are some of my favorite by Peart. I understand, it's hard to concentrate on the lyrics while listening to such great musicianship but since it's a marathon, have the lyrics available to discuss briefly after each song. Thus far when it comes to reactions, you'd be the first to tackle the series in one take.
    I'm loving the Rush reactions, keep em coming. Cheers.
