Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted January 9, 2012 Author Moderators 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. I'm guessing that the previous owner had used Elixir's and stretched the string properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted January 9, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's an acoustic isn't it Hmmmm, it's a bit ambiguous, could be an acoustic with a piezo, but doesn't soound like a straight acoustic to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hubert Stumblin Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Has this thread really gone on for six pages without a significant number of people realizing that its whole premise is a joke? I can't tell if it makes it funnier or if it's just pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell if it makes it funnier or if it's just pathetic. As you can tell by many of the responses, most of the respondents did not read the original message. For the record, I'm leaning toward "pathetic" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angry Tele Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 I always figured the song was time elapsed. Like he doesnt literally pick it up and know how to play. If it were in real time the song wouold be 10 weeks long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the CD release about 23 seconds in there's an almost imperceptible burst of white noise which is 15 years of practice and jamming compressed into less than a millisecond. If you slow it down you can listen to his style develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mockchoi Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 I don't get how people can keep slamming 2112. Haven't they ever heard Hemispheres? Greco-Roman deities, a black hole, and Ayn Randian trees all in the same album, plus pretentious songs with French lyrics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aliensporebomb Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 I can imagine the record label upon delivery of the master: "What? The first song is 20 minutes long? WTF? Hows this going to compete with Saturday Night Fever and Bread?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ddawson2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 If you haven't heard of this new APP - JAMMIT - they have all the Rush tracks and you can hear Alex' in isolation.

Members Mav64 Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 Happy Rush Day everyone! February 1st Named National Rush Day 1/31/2012 9:32 AM ET(RTTNews) - February 1, 2012 has been named "National Rush Day" by a handful of hard rock radio stations. In honor of the band's legendary album Rush 2112, fans are encouraged to crank up the prog rock on 2/1/12 and pay homage to the seminal prog-metal album. "Rush's 2112 is probably the first album that can rightfully be called progressive metal, so it's only appropriate we blast the album from the rooftops, from our cars, from our iPods, from everywhere, to celebrate this landmark album and Rush's incredible longevity and lasting influence," said Jeff Wagner, author of Mean Deviation: Four Decades of Progressive Heavy Metal, tells Gibson.com. "We're only a hundred years away now until 2112," he adds. "I''l be waiting in my hypercube, ready for the big one!" The tribute comes at a busy time for the band, who are prepping the release of their newest effort Clockwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bsman Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 you say that like its a bad thing Right you are. I guess they essentially filled the same purpose for adolescent boys of the late 70s-80s that Black Sabbath and Zeppelin did for boys of my age...
