Rush's 2112 is....

[Soundstorm]

Fill in the blank

(I'm bored.)

[Zeppelin Rules]

A 1976 concept album dealing with a music-less dystopian society that is turned on its heel because of a geetar

[seajay]

...silly.

[extollo]

a classic album i've never really listened to all the way through. maybe did incidentally at a party or something, but that doesnt count.

i bought caress of steel (in '75) & listened to that a ton

[Soundstorm]

ZR....yes

I never knew it was based on Ayn Rand's "Anthem" (which has been one of my favorite books for years) until I watched the Beyond the Lighted Stage doc

[gtrplyr60]

... the music that was playing during my first experience with a......dried green substance in a small wooden pipe.

[isvoid]

best listened to stoned

[Goop]

[greg apocalypse]

over twenty minutes long.

[chrispsullivan]

...one of my favorite albums.

[telephant]

by far their best album.

[greg apocalypse]

both of those ^


in fact after 2112 (the song) is done, I'm like "oh yeah... there's still a bunch more. {censored} yes."

[soapbladder]

...is the sound of an ideologically adolescent helium overdose.

(Which I enjoyed during my initial pubescent phase.)

[JKD]

...still one of my favourite concept albums that isn't Operation Mindcrime!

[100 watt]

A great album in many ways. Love it.


And Caress of Steel ...Love it (nerd cred)

[The Anomaly]

an album I can play from front to back.

Suck it bishes.

[timrocker]

A slice of thoroughly bitchin' bitchin-ness. Man.

I used to play a bunch of stuff off of 2112. Need to listen to it & see what I remember of it. I used to listen to LOTS of those guys, & got away from it for a long time. I still throw the occasional Rush thing in when dicking off @ home. Played "Antherm" the other night while I was tooling around with my delay that I hadnt used in forever.

Anyone know what kinda Flanger Alex was using in the early days? I love the f*ck outta his flange sound on "In The End"

I'm pretty sure it was an Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress

ERMAGGHRD!!! RRERSH!!

 

lol. Oops.

[46&2]

Rush sucks.

[Zeppelin Rules]

I can play the Overture and The Temples of Syrinx. I loves me some RUSH. I was lucky enough to see them a couple of years ago from the 14th row. Seeing them play YYZ in YYZ was kinda cool 8-)

 

 

 

 

 

Rush sucks.

 

 

STFU!!!

[noisebloom]

. . . a primal scream against conformity that earned the band its creative freedom -- Randian art became Randian real life.

[rushtallica]

Rush is my favorite band, but apart from their first album I prefer almost every other '70s - early '80s album over it. The full 2112 song is definitely awesome, but I don't care if I ever hear a song from side 2 again.
