Temples Of Syrinx

[Rich]

Damned song popped into my head out of nowhere and got stuck. Now it's your "problem" too.

Note to self: Need to get one of those rad bass amps that Geddy Lee is using.

Are you talking about the dryers?

GL has said in a number of interviews lately that he doesn't use amps anymore.

 

[Rich]

Yep, the dryers.

 

[Thumpalumpacus]

That one's always a good workout.

 

[Skintaster]

Great song!

 

[Spaced Ace]

My favorite song on my favorite album by RUSH. Nice choice!

That guy is a drumming savant.

 

[Rich]

I read an interview or article with/about him where he wasn't getting anywhere as a drummer, basically saying that he was good, but nothing unusual. He then decided that he needed to reinvent his playing style and woodshedded for a long time to get to they style he has now. So, probably not a savant, but a guy who gave a lot of thought to what he wanted and how to get there and then practiced a lot.

2112 an absolute masterpiece.... Rush kicks major A@#!!

Right. Supposedly he goes directly into the PA. The dryers and vending machines he uses have been more or less a parody, something to set up behind him to replace a stack.

I've always thought Ged's tone on Moving Pictures was the best distortion I've ever heard on a bass ... the outro to "Red Barchetta" alone just tickles me ears. "Camera Eye" too has richness written into it.

 

[Sloppy Joe]

I love 2112. And, I've always thought of the first 4 Rush albums as their best.

Rush - The best thing to come out of Canada since Molson Beer!

 

[BrianM]

They are playing this on their current tour. And the entire Moving Pictures album. Saw them last August. Definately go if you get the chance.

 

[HARDWEAR]

Not a problem! One of my all time favorites. We played this in HEX.


Can't wait to see them June 10th. in New Orleans!

 

[Spaced Ace]

They played side 1 of "2112" on their Test For Echo tour. Even had the water sounds flowing in the background while Alex "learned" how to play the guitar during "Discovery". Wicked cool stuff.

 

[Scooter2112]

Nothing is as cool as the old Ric though...

Except the double Ric...

Not at all.....I play it myself....all the time.

 

[Thumpalumpacus]

I said it in the other thread, but ole 76 hits that pretty damned good.

Amen! Great job, 76

I tend to play it mostly in the open chord positions, but your Barre chord approach adds a little more nuance.

Then again, I'm a $hitty guitar player.

I'm calling out Mike (Blakem) here to check out his version.
