Members JRicoC Posted January 7, 2012 Members Share Posted January 7, 2012 ... I'm just saying they suck, is all. Which is what this thread is about. That's NOT what the thread is about. It was humor surrounding suspending one's disbelief about a guy finding a centuries-old guitar in a cave, and being able to play it; physically and skilfully. It was tongue-in-cheek hilarity done right ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jonny guitar Posted January 7, 2012 Members Share Posted January 7, 2012 Stay with me here.....now Ayn Rand would totally agree with you..... I love 2112 but I didn't listen to it for years and years until I read Anthem and thought I better give it a go....to bad Peart wasn't a Zamyatin fan because "We" would of been perfect for a Rush Album.

Members Hurtzher Posted January 7, 2012 Members Share Posted January 7, 2012 2112 was done when they didn't have a huge budget.....so, I'm sure it's not as refined as it could be. I think they did great for what they had to work with. Alex only used a Marshall, a 335, a Les Paul, and his effects (echoplex, wah, and maestro phaser). A Far Cry (pun intended) from all the equipment he would be using later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JohnnyDD Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 A week ago me and four other old farts cranked the first side of 2112 on super high end stereo equip and it was great. And we still buy into the corny imagery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not but 2112 is based on the dystopian novel Anthem by Ayn Rand. Peart is a huge fan and Rush's label is Anthem Records. The song is actually pretty close to the novel in its layout.

Members Bob411 Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 For me, Rush is one of the top 10 groups ever, and 2112 is the best song ever, by anyone. Number 2 is not even close. It describes a world, in the not too distant future with no art, no music, and people don't even know what a guitar is. If Rush isn't your thing, OK, diferent strokes, but if this song doesn't touch you, deep down in your soul, then what are you doing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aliensporebomb Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I still think the first minute of that album must have been a shocker to the record company: instead of Led Zep flavored hard rock songs about the working man, you got a solid minute of cold, icy outer space, atonal synthesizer thru a pretty harsh reverb effect with deep bass burbles. It was like firing a shot across the bow. And a 20 minute suite about a guy finding a guitar when totalitarian society prohibits such? Yeah. Hard going for the what was the disco era but what an album! It still speaks to me today.' It was my first exposure to Rush. Except, my friend played it for me and it was on 8-track and the story was out of order which gave it a weird episodic type flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blazingblake Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Rush = great band if you dont like don't like them don't listen it's always easy to criiticize others work. If you listen to them or any interviews of them they obviously don't take themselves to seriously. The've toured the world over and over too and played to i'm sure by now millions of people how many of us here can say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted January 9, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted January 9, 2012 Damn , dude if you start going through Progressive rock albums and picking their stories apart...well your going to have a lot of posts like this one! I feel that one is unique to this particular forum.....the idea that an HCEGer, cept maybe JJ, could pick up a guitar and start playing in seconds without months of deliberations on tuner choice, nut width, fretboard radius, pickups, caps, pots, strings and the lack of details about whether this guitar was on a stand, in a case or on a wall hanger, and where did the amp come from etc, and no one even mentioned effects or output leads etc........, But if you point me to some more I'll do my best:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thick_mike Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Seems to be a sense of humour by-pass going on in this thread. I could just about play the first 6 notes of the guitar part... I think it's more amazing that the guitar is perfectly in tune as soon as he picks it up. Maybe it's a (near future) Gibson Firebird X acoustic with robot tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
