Although I hate hip hop and rap, the way Rush did it was amusing. It had a nice, funky beat and a cool keyboard section going on underneath. It just had a very live, musical feel to it. Not only that, it's kinda funny and really creative. Since when would you hear Geddy using the lyrics "Ya dig?" in song? Or a rapper use the word parallax? Nowadays with rap it's some angry guy saying words with little to no type of instrumentation going on underneath. It shouldn't even be considered music.
Rush speaks to those who they know from their your and thier music if you listen hard enough you will pick up on thier wisdom for we are children and they the teachers for those of us who appreciate a musical trio that will outlive the pyramids becuase sound like waves and like the great cosmic ocean all travel in waves and only good survive. Long live RUSH and may the very god who sent me revere you as much as he did when giving me a ressurection as the new rising sun. love all pray for all.
Rush is the only band that inspires true greatness and motivation along with inttellect, I wonder hoe they intend to decide who of us is first place second place and third. The mentors of my youth and also the symbol on 2112 is not witchraft or sorccery. Take Air out of one of the pentacles and the replace it with trees then take the air and connect the dots ans like magice the earth gave birth to the true imaculant conception.

damn, this song is awesome except for that rap part, wtf were they thinking? it has a good message to it but it sounds god awful and breaks the mood of the song
@themasterbrat I knew this 3 decades ago. Why you think there are few videos from these fine 3 men? Never had the chance to meet them personally, but I knew. I have Canadian relatives, nothing more needs be said. Why you think so much sound comes from 3 guys? There care about there craft and what they do. Alex is ego-less. Most watch lead guitar. Man just enjoys his craft, nothing more.
@themasterbrat Sweet! I remember I met Alex Lifeson once. The meet and greet didn't turn out so great, but I thought it was awesome. I have to ask... Is Geddy nice? He seems like a pretty chill guy.
@AaronShowbiz : yes, Geddy is VERY nice. He is soft spoken.... thoughtful.... very down to earth. I honestly didn't realize i was having lunch with THE Geddy Lee... until he took us inside to see his studio & equipment.
Even then... he NEVER spoke about his career, his accomplishments. All he said was... 'my music is my life'.
@MikeWeit: it was a beautiful late summer day; and we spoke about the weather, hockey, environment, and fishing. He is very 'normal' and not egotistical.
@bookemist : it was pure random chance. I was visiting a friend in Muskoka who had the contract to powerwash Geddy's cottage. We went for a drive, and my friend decided to stop in to pick up payment from Mr. Lee. Being the nice guy he is, Geddy invited us in for lunch, since he was alone and was about to bbq and just wanted some company. It's one of the experiences I treasure. It's also a great lesson in life. That no matter how rich or famous or successful... we're all just people.
@themasterbrat If only all celebrities and rich people were like that instead of just trying to get into whatever magazine they can often by taking offf their clothes are some other bs.
Is what makes Rush amazing not their ability to experiment and to not become something to which people have a expectation of how they should sound?
You can say this is a bad album, and I wouldnt honestly disagree, but when you begin to define Rush by the progressive rock persona that was given through Moving Pictures, you are failing to see what Rush really is as a band
Rush is a band that is quite literally beyond definiton. To quote Gene Simmons, "What kind of a band is Rush?"
why are we here not by -god- but by pure chance learn about natural history, evolution, DNA, chemistry, physics,astronomy, geology and probably some others ending in y..... check out the lyrics inc 'gonna kick some gluteus max' lol
@sonic951 Nope. That isn't rap that is being replicated, not even close.
I'm a rap fan, Metallica fan, grunge fan, but above all I'm a Rush fan, but they aren't poking at Rap so much as they were about the whole "niggerish" mentality of American/Canadian youths during the early '90s (FYI, I am not a racist, I am using a term to describe just lazy people, not black people, at least this is the context I use it for). The rhyming schemes, the "ebonics" and slang are used to deliver a message.
@CobainStJohns No, they have even said that the song is poking fun at rap, because they don't get the appeal of it. If anything, this "rap" sounds better than actual rap. Yes, I'm dissing rap because I don't get it either. But they very much are poking fun at rap, nothing more.
@GoZuDiablo Damn Good Point. At 31 years of age, I feel I was probably the last generation to experience fresh and exciting bands coming out every year as a teenager. Don't get me wrong, there was a lot of crap coming out, particularly with the whole "grunge" bandwagon/marekting scheme, but there was still enough coming out to keep us interested. Me and my friends were aware that things weren't as exciting as the 60s or 70s but we never dreamed that it would die completely. So sad.
I LOVE Rush. I've been listening to them since I wan 11yrs old. My sister took my to the Power Windows tour when I was 11, and I took my daughter to the Vapor Trails concert when she was 11. God Bless Neil Peart, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson. I lOVE THIS BAND!
if you don't like the album, why are you listening to it? a lot of people don't like ANY of rush's stuff, so whatever. if you don't like it, listen to something else and post on some other useless youtube wall
I like this one to. I love most of their music...which is why I'm still a fan in 2011, even though I first became a fan in 1980. Here's a strange fact: even though I have loved their music since age 12 or 13 in 1980, and now I am 43, I have probably spent a total of maybe $600 - $700 on their stuff in total. I grew up poor and lower middle class, not one of the rich kids, but still, that's a "weird fact".
Wow, lay off the damn rap, it sucks. The only good rock rap mix up is Rage Against The machine, and a few select other. Rush, I love you, but shit is TERRIBLE! It sounds like it is trying to escape the 80's music scene, while incorporating shitty music from the 90's (which had great music, but the mainstream was TERRIBLE)
@aijunk2 I think you meant to say "and NOT saying so". Learn to speak English first! And stop projecting YOUR opinion as fact. Opinions are like a##holes and I am trading posts with one. The worst Rush album is Vapor Trails, in my opinion. And don't tell me to shut up cracker. I am not impressed.
I know how to WRITE English, if you want to be that picky. But anyways, this album is terrible! And for fuck sake, why are we arguing about "how bad Rush is"? Hell, Rush is one of the greatest, most influential bands of all time! See what I did there? I made an opinion, but everyone must respect it because these guys have talent!
@aijunk2 Dear Aijunk.I have reason to believe you are a computer troll. Now sir, I have read your comments regarding your feeling towards the roll the bones album and it is quite clear that you follow the media's opinion on good music and possibly more. This leads me to think that you have very low self esteem in your own judgements and rely on "higher" things to chose your decision for you, this proves how much of a little bitch you really are. You sir have been counter trolled. Good day to you
Are you kidding me? I hate popular music. This ready here is a sellout itself, you hypocrite. Rush tried to be "rap" to get more fans. Come on, this sucks and you know it. Rush had SO many better albums. And it doesn't matter anyways, I'm more of a Radiohead, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis type of guy.
@aijunk2 And u believe that because the roll the bones album was written, produced and released in the early 90's, the period of time where rap music was becoming huge in USA and canada,that they only did it to gain more fans? well first off pal, bands are supposed to gain more fans so that there popularity can rise,2: have you even noticed that throughout the 42 years of rush, they have followed the modern music genre in their own way with their albums? Of course, u know rush personally yeh?
Lol, that's called being a sellout. You know, where you change your sound to gain more fans and money.
Rush has really never sounded like this, look at their albums like, 2112, Moving Pictures.....etc, compared to this! To me and many other Rush fans, this album was definitely not one of their best! That's all i'm saying, okay.
@aijunk2 brother your look out on the term sellout is completely different to what it acctually is. For example: a sellout would be a struggling metal vocalist who is having no luck, suddenly getting offered a contract by simon cowel, btto sing pop songs for thousands of dollars, so the guy takes it coz of the money.. that is a sellout. Prog rock is never consistant so that argument is done, Are you going to blame queen for putting rap in we will rock you and call them sellouts? just enjoy music
Okay, okay, I guess I got a little cared away with the frustration over this album. Yes, it is definitely not one of their best albums, can we agree open that?
@aijunk2 Rush never sold out? im sorry you dont appreciate good music bro. and lets put it this way. there is no other band like rush, and you hate mainstream? uh beatles and pinkfloyd are mainstream. and no matter what you say, youre wrong already
Have you ever heard of the band, Flaming Lips, Radiohead, Stone Roses, Libertines, Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, The Smiths, XTC, Echo and The Bunnymen, The Band, Neil Young, etc....ever heard of them, punk? Bet not, because most of these guys are better than Rush, even though Rush is awesome. No mainstream here at all, fag. Anyways, I never meant to say rush was a sellout, all I'm saying is that this isn't THEIR greatest album. I know great music, you know mediocre.
@aijunk2 Let's see... Flaming lips sucks. Radiohead sucks. Stone Roses were dece. Libertines sucks. Arcade Fire really sucks. The Smiths were good. XTC sucks. Echo and the bunnymen had a good song. The Band was ok Neil Young is overrated. You're an idiot.
Haha, you're just being ignorant now. Just because I called this album gay. Dude, you're not a true rush fan if you actually like this album. It is bad, and they had MANY better ones. And no, none of the ARTISTS I said were bad, heck most of them are better than Rush. You're a prick.
Are you being a troll? Have you ever listened to any of them? My god, these artists I listed might be some of the best the last 20 years has seen. These bands for sure will be viewed like Pink Floyd and Rush one day when they pass the test of time; which for the most part, they have. Just stop being a troll, it's not working.
Every one I have listed has been remembered. I know you're a troll, because the Smiths are remembered and they don't make albums. Almost all of Radiohead's album are praised, and Stone Roses are as of now remembered. The Velvet Underground are remembered, the list goes on!
@EightBitRemixCentral Where i come from, and the music in general, The beatles are mainstream, everyone has listened to them in their lives, there is no way in hell you can say the beatles aren't known
@aijunk2 They were making fun of rap...not trying to sell out and gain more fans. They were making fun at the rap craze that was sweeping the nation in the early 90's. You aren't a true Rush fan if you think this album "sucks". You can't even compare this to Moving Pictures or 2112. They changed their style multiple times....RTB was another transition perdiod for them. Rush has never sold out and never will.
funny, the timing ,after all these rolls, is nonwavy lady hair, but gentlemanish. becausewaycurese snake oil why go to south america and not bring back skull polyeaster ressurrection un der the gods must eCrazy
I love the lyrics to this song more than almost any other Rush song, but I think the music itself really lets them down. Except the chorus, that chorus is magical. Still an overally good song, but I prefer to just read the lyrics and make up my own tune to hum them to.
How can u not mention la villa? or The Enemy Eithin, Witchhunt? YYZ? come on if ur gunna name the greatest tunes those must be included... obviously 2112 goes with out being listed.
@yah420 I literally couldnt even wittle down a top 20 list of Rush songs it's too hard haha but La Villa would definitely be towards the top. Im so glad they had it in the TM tour encore it gave me fuckin goosebumps.
@espChris93 La Villa live in Rio is in my opinion their masterpiece, together with Freewill, YYZ, leave that thing, resist, red barchetta, limelight, and uhhhhh.... a couple of others
is that really geddy lee rapping? (i remember buying this album the day it came out at tower records in philly. no idea what happened to it...but i don't remember who did the rapping in this song!)
Rush's music didn't sell out and its probably why.
Rush chose not to be media whores and heavily market their music. They wanted the true fans to listen to their music.. not for it to be forced on them.
If you haven't seen the dvd "Rush:Beyond the Lighted Stage" I highly recommend it!!
@FrancisDaBadAssBiker the problem isn't marketing your music, the problem is marketing your image
that's what rush didn't do...
there's nothing wrong with marketing your music...as a musician, you want as many people to hear you as possible, neil wrote 1 of the 2 most profound lyrics on what you're saying ever
"one likes to believe in the freedom of music, but glittering prizes and endless compromises, shatter the illusion of integrity"
@ledzeppelin1710 oh...blender....the heavy metal magazine..can't imagine why they'd say that...
people that can't understand them, usually say that...i've heard the same thing said about zeppelin (which, although different, i don't agree with despite it always being about goblins and shit) it's a magazine...filled with people like you or me, that happened to go to college for the opportunity to spread their opinion in a publication...if you live by that, i feel sorry for you
@xman51000 They don't give a shit about it, they just want to spread their rock love. They were making music before it even existed. And besides, who knows what the future holds.
Thier best song! No wait Tom Sawyer! No ... wait um Red Barchetta! Naw lemme see - i got it Time Stand Still. Oh crap thats not it its um Fly By Night!. I know! I know - thier best song is Subdivision! Oh forget it they're all superfuckingbetterthananybodyelseshit. - GET BUSY
Although I hate hip hop and rap, the way Rush did it was amusing. It had a nice, funky beat and a cool keyboard section going on underneath. It just had a very live, musical feel to it.

Rush had SO many better albums. And it doesn't matter anyways, I'm more of a Radiohead, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis type of guy.

@aijunk2 And u believe that because the roll the bones album was written, produced and released in the early 90's, the period of time where rap music was becoming huge in USA and canada,that they only did it to gain more fans? well first off pal, bands are supposed to gain more fans so that there popularity can rise,2: have you even noticed that throughout the 42 years of rush, they have followed the modern music genre in their own way with their albums? Of course, u know rush personally yeh?

Lol, that's called being a sellout. You know, where you change your sound to gain more fans and money.
Rush has really never sounded like this, look at their albums like, 2112, Moving Pictures.....etc, compared to this! To me and many other Rush fans, this album was definitely not one of their best! That's all i'm saying, okay.
aijunk2 7 months ago
@aijunk2 brother your look out on the term sellout is completely different to what it acctually is. For example: a sellout would be a struggling metal vocalist who is having no luck, suddenly getting offered a contract by simon cowel, btto sing pop songs for thousands of dollars, so the guy takes it coz of the money.. that is a sellout. Prog rock is never consistant so that argument is done, Are you going to blame queen for putting rap in we will rock you and call them sellouts? just enjoy music

Okay, okay, I guess I got a little cared away with the frustration over this album. Yes, it is definitely not one of their best albums, can we agree open that?
aijunk2 7 months ago
@aijunk2 Rush never sold out? im sorry you dont appreciate good music bro. and lets put it this way. there is no other band like rush, and you hate mainstream? uh beatles and pinkfloyd are mainstream. and no matter what you say, youre wrong already

Have you ever heard of the band, Flaming Lips, Radiohead, Stone Roses, Libertines, Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, The Smiths, XTC, Echo and The Bunnymen, The Band, Neil Young, etc....ever heard of them, punk? Bet not, because most of these guys are better than Rush, even though Rush is awesome. No mainstream here at all, fag. Anyways, I never meant to say rush was a sellout, all I'm saying is that this isn't THEIR greatest album. I know great music, you know mediocre.

Haha, you're just being ignorant now. Just because I called this album gay. Dude, you're not a true rush fan if you actually like this album. It is bad, and they had MANY better ones. And no, none of the ARTISTS I said were bad, heck most of them are better than Rush. You're a prick.

@aijunk2 They were making fun of rap...not trying to sell out and gain more fans. They were making fun at the rap craze that was sweeping the nation in the early 90's. You aren't a true Rush fan if you think this album "sucks". You can't even compare this to Moving Pictures or 2112. They changed their style multiple times....RTB was another transition perdiod for them. Rush has never sold out and never will.

I love the lyrics to this song more than almost any other Rush song, but I think the music itself really lets them down. Except the chorus, that chorus is magical. Still an overally good song, but I prefer to just read the lyrics and make up my own tune to hum them to.

xman51000 1 year ago 41
@xman51000 I really don't like the HOF at all.
Rush's music didn't sell out and its probably why.
Rush chose not to be media whores and heavily market their music. They wanted the true fans to listen to their music.. not for it to be forced on them.
If you haven't seen the dvd "Rush:Beyond the Lighted Stage" I highly recommend it!!
FrancisDaBadAssBiker 1 year ago 3
@FrancisDaBadAssBiker the problem isn't marketing your music, the problem is marketing your image
that's what rush didn't do...
there's nothing wrong with marketing your music...as a musician, you want as many people to hear you as possible, neil wrote 1 of the 2 most profound lyrics on what you're saying ever
"one likes to believe in the freedom of music, but glittering prizes and endless compromises, shatter the illusion of integrity"
