Members Davedblyoo Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 I'm not a huge Rush fan, but I gotta say Geddy kicks ass! VH1 was showing one of the concerts in Brazil and I was knocked out by Geddy. I've heard a lot of the tunes over theyears but really didn't pay much attention. Geddy was playing his Jazz, of course, and I couldn't get over the percussive quality of his fingerstyle playing. That man's tone rules! I hate to admit it, but I always had it in the back of my mind that Rush was kind of a bunch of tight asses. I really had no clue that they jam the way they do and have a good time doing it! I was knocked out! I'm not saying that I'm ready to become a full-on convert, but I gotta give Geddy his props. Cool show, might have to dig a little deeper into this Rush thingy.

Members sunburstbasser Posted May 23, 2010 Members Share Posted May 23, 2010 That sounds like Rush in Rio. You can buy it on DVD, or CD if you just want the music. Geddy's voice is a little off on some tunes but he was never a great singer anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FromAbove Posted May 23, 2010 Members Share Posted May 23, 2010 You'll see the light soon enough after digging in. They aren't much. It's good at first but boring after some time. It's a fun ride for awhile though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, he's a pretty cool dude: [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Shows up at about 3:16:[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JeffBass Posted May 29, 2010 Members Share Posted May 29, 2010 He's a very athletic player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gonzobassman Posted May 29, 2010 Members Share Posted May 29, 2010 Check out their very first album(cd?). Working Man,Finding My Way,originally they were a kick-ass power trio playing kick-ass,straight up rock! Then came Hemispheres... Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveAronow Posted May 31, 2010 Members Share Posted May 31, 2010 Duh. The only part I cant understand is how you could have been a bass player all that time and not have noticed before. Not saying you have to love his style, but simply not noticing his abilities as a player is puzzling to me.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Davedblyoo Posted May 31, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 31, 2010 Rush just wasn't one of those bands I really listened to coming up. I knew he was good and all, but I just didn't really realize how good until recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gonzobassman Posted May 31, 2010 Members Share Posted May 31, 2010 You are probably under 35 years old. I don't mean that as a dig,its just they became a completly differnt band after Hemispheres. I was a real fan of Rush,and still am,but I don't care so much for most of the stuff they did after 2112. And had I been born ten years later than I was,I probably would not have liked them as much!!! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted May 31, 2010 Members Share Posted May 31, 2010 Whew!! When I first saw the title of the vid, I was expecting it to be a duet with the rapper Snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sunburstbasser Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 Rush has gone through several eras so far. I don't like all of them, particularly starting with Signals I don't care for much anything they did until Counterparts (which I think is awesome).

Members Renfield Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 Has anyone else heard the new single "Caravan" yet? I heard it on the radio this morning, not bad. Geddy has some pretty gritty tone going on, Alex sounded great. It's a very guitar driven tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
