Latest issue of RS magazine.....for some reason I have been getting this at my home and I did not order it nor did anyone else in my family?? Anyhow, essentially the magazine has sucked for so many years from a musical standpoint, although some articles are pretty good......Oh well, not complaining for some reason I am getting it and have not paid them one penny.
Anyhow they have a section called guest Playlist or something like that....this month they feature Geddy Lee's......sorry for bad picture but hopefully you can read each entry he submitted.....Funny to see Bjork and Fleet Foxes mentioned. I like what he says about Tull and TAAB.

I am sorry, but to overlook 80's Rush or not appreciate the innovation by how Rush latched on to the age of electric sound so well, you really can't say or call yourself a true Rush fan. 80's Rush is very important Rush.
I feel this is fair to say because the 80's are a huge bulk of Rush's Music Career.
Permanent Waves to Presto. Amazing electric power!!
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

yeah I guess it is patchy. Driven, Dog Years are other favs of mine...I guess I like it better due to the events surrounding my acquisition of it. Funny how music can do that right? but I wouldn't say it's a great album at all...I just like it better than Presto/roll the Bones etc

Signals - I REALLY like Analog Kid. Subdivisions and New World Man are cool too. Pass on the rest.

GUP is one I have been meaning to get back to. I did like it a lot when it came out....have drifted from it over the years...need to get back.

I didn't like Power Windows at all when it came out. And I never looked back as after that one I gave up on new Rush (I ALWAYS have played classic Rush) until Counterparts and Test for Echo.

I suppose I should check it out?

I like playing Virtuality at top volume. Heavy tune.

Am I the only one who sees this song as Spirit of Radio Part II - The Internet? It even has it's own Lifeson guitar wail that is somewhat similar to the opening of SoR.


T4E is patchy. That song, "Virtuality," isn't aging well.

When you mean "after Moving Pictures," are you including the holy trinity of Signals / Grace Under Pressure / Power Windows in reflection?

No doubt they definitely deserve it and look forward to whatever they might release on the flipside.

I think this is certainly a good thing, let the men enjoy their success and lives for a little bit. Plus it may get some new creative juices flowing. I wonder if Neil will go on another venture.

I agree with you as well. I have RUSH REPLAY X3 boxset and I just love it. Really amazing. All in 5.1 too of course! :)

A guy in Chicago owns it now. I had that pic taken at Vic's Drum Shop in Chicago for a small fee, the money going to a charity (supporting someone with cancer, I think). For a bit more they'd let you actually play the kit, but I'm no drummer so I just had my pic taken Smile

oh wow, on the All the World's a Stage cover it looked like it was a normal black color

I can't remember if I've posted this here on the prog archives forums:

Me behind the kit of Neil's 'Chromey' kit. I think he used this kit from Fly By Night thru A Farewell To Kings, didn't he?



I apologize if I've posted it before.

My guess would be that the reason is Rush's music is quite demanding to play, especially the drums/percussion. A lot of bands wouldn't want to make asses of themselves. Lol. I think for years if you could Handle drumming La Villa Strangiato
It was considered the bench mark of drumming period. Is tough man.


That makes sense. Heck, even Rush has trouble playing their music sometimes.

yeah, they even say it's really hard to play YYZ live, while Neil also says the little solo in Tom Sawyer is hard, and it makes him feel good every time he plays it right

The former is how I've always known it, where as the latter has cropped up in recent years and sounds lame...... I don't get it

Yeah it's the former alright, definitely


Right you are.

'Spirit Of The Radio' sounds like it would come from a very 'special' person if you catch my drift.
Doesn't have a nice flow it. Sounds awkward. ;)

There's also Spirit of Radio, told on Exit...Stage Left
My remastered CD copy of Exit...Stage Left says "The Spirit of Radio", so I guess that misprint has been corrected on later releases.

hmm guess so
