@DrummingNonStop Sorry to hear that you have never listened to 2112, Analog Kid, Test for Echo, Caravan, or Cygnus X-1.
Either that or you thought i meant that he was bad, which is the opposite of true, and only a fool would think he isnt one of the best, if not the best.
The best version of this song is on the classic live album "Exit...Stage Left", where they really tear into the solos like the ferocious beasts that they are. This version is too lethargic.
@menom7 LOL I don't think Rush needs the HOF. I think the HOF needs Rush, and since they've pissed on the boys for what, a decade now, it's probably reached the point of don't even bother anymore.
Rush has become one of the most amazing bands ever. And they're just three guys who don't even have very exciting soap-opera lives. That is what I respect the most about them. Rush is about Rush's music. No freakshow space opera required.
@Caddicarus As with maxgrant............I wholeheartedly AGREE with You Caddicarus!! At THIS POINT.............there's NOBODY on this PLANET that NEEDS to FIRST LOOK at the Hall of Fame,to see Rush's AMAZING musical-journey since 74'!!!! All that's needed,is LISTENING to excellent CLIPS like THIS ONE!!
@faltor60 It's not the sneakers, it's the nose. Definitely. I'm going to see a plastic surgeon tomorrow to get a bigger nose. Maybe then I'll be an awesome bassist...my friends think I'm nuts, but I'll show 'em!
This one-minute part of Freewill is a demonstration of the awesomeness of Rush. It's not just an Alex solo, it's like the whole band is all soloing at the same time, but in total harmony with each other. You have to listen to this song like 10 times before you pick up all the litle parts. Heaven in sonic form.
his fingers must be hard as rocks

YYZ, Freewill, La Villa Strangiato, and suprisingly enough alot of the 80's bass lines he plays= Geddys finest moments!

An ad popped up on the screen while I was watching this saying "Jesus Christ is Lord". After watching Geddy for 67 seconds, I beg to differ.

This solo is the perfect example of "controlled chaos". Only these three could all technically solo at once and sound this great. Long live Rush!
