Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted January 6, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 6, 2012 Stay with me here.....now Overture I got no problem with, Temples of Syrinx, shows them at their mighty best......now Discovery "Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneath the cave, I Found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in My hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful..." Ahem This bit is about a guy who finds an "ancient miracle" which has "wires that vibrate and make music" Now here's my problem, from the time he picks it up till he's knocking out some sweet riffs is about what.........20-30seconds. Now call me Mr Picky, but those Priests at the Temple are guardians of their "Great Computers", so the fuckers DO have forums and machinery, so how does this fucker start playing something he doesn't even know about within 30 secs max without going on to the Syrinx.net and finding out what the fuck he's dealing with, how it should be set up....the strings man, change the fucking strings:facepalm:......and I don't see how any decent valve amp is gonna survive behind that waterfall, even if I do suspend belief and think that the pots are OK on that sucker, and he needs at least another two months on a forum to learn how to dial that Lifeson tone in:confused: I'm sorry Geddy and Co, but you should have tried way harder than that:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveAronow Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 Actually, your beef is with Neil. He is the lyricist. And I never understood the use of the word "ancient" in that song. I mean, we are only talking 100 years or so from now, or just a few more from the time it was written. I agree 2112 was Rush at their absolute best, Along with Moving pictures.

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted January 6, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted January 6, 2012 pretty sure you need to change the thread title or prepare for the ban hammer Is suck or ass ban hammerable? I don't think so, even felch wouldn't realy warrant a ban, as I'm not breaking any of the HC rules that I can see? Maybe you could point to where it says sucking ass is a bannable offence.

I don't think using those words constitute a ban, but I think using them in the same sentence as Rush may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundcreation Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 you know I'm a fairly decent rush fan....I mean not a rush dork or anything but enough to have seen them live and have a bunch of their albums including that one.....and honestly I have to say for some strange reason I've never really paid much attention to what Geddy is saying on most of them. I kind of just listen to his voice more as an instrument. And usually I am one to dissect lyrical content from bands I like as much as I like rush. Go figure. Maybe it's better I didn't.

Members Meowy Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 A. It's science fictionB. teh intrnetz was destroyed by the federationC. The real dilemma is where did he plug the amp into in a cave? What is this, the flintstones? As an aside I saw rush in 1979, hemispheres tour, front row balcony in a 2000 seat theater. They opened with side 1 of 2112. Awesomeness never before seen by a 16 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Reverse Entropy Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 What you need to understand about 2112 is that the record company was grilling Rush hard. They wanted radio-friendly stuff and Caress of Steel had been a near disaster. Instead Rush said "screw it, we go out in a blaze of glory," went and wrote the OPPOSITE of what the company wanted with one whole side of the record being the 2112 Suite. It could hardly have been longer or more complex, it was outrageous as it was. I know what you mean, but it's an allegory, a bit of compression in the story is just a requirement of the medium. But 2112 as it stands is basically Rush dropping their pants and mooning the record executives. The priests of Syrinx make a little more sense when you think of it that way.
