There are two reasons I don't like this song -- 1) it was produced at the HEIGHT of video and the video ran relentlessly on muchmusic/mtv for a year and 2) the lyrics are trite and misinformed.
Do you write lyrics too??? Has Neil ever had any contact with you or has he seen any of this? Just a couple questions from a new subscriber. I'm watching too many of your videos and my wife is freaking out about it. Does your wife freak out?
Oh Man! COME ON Paulie! This song is an ANTHEM and one of my FAVORITE to play! Have you seen the original video for this song, and how Neil plays it? All of your fills and rolls are missing the structure, impact, dynamics and emphasis! MAN! This song DEMANDS that you play THROUGH the drum heads! You are not giving the song what it needs. POWER
Sorry... I just hate this song. Couldn't get into it. I was on my way to doing ALL Rush songs until WMG/UMG starting getting pissy, so I thought I'd do this one. I guess I didn't do it justice in your mind. Sorry!
I was quite sober when I made that comment. I'm a huge Rush fan, don't mistake me, but I despise "Grace Under Pressure", barring 2 or 3 tracks. The rest of it blows, IMO.
I'd say ya' nailed that one alright. Great job! 4:26 to 4:38 or so. I always thought that sounded real cool, now i know why. I don't play, but i love to air drum to this and Subdivisions in the car... steering wheel, rear view mirror, ride cymbal somewhere over in the passenger's seat. Just can't do the footwork, don't want to wreck or anything. People looke at me like i'm nuts. Good call! sorry about the 'issues' you've been having with YouTube / Anthem / Whoever the hell.
It's not so much that I don't like it. It is, objectively, a good song, but I got sick of it when it came out because it was on muchmusic about every 10 seconds and I guess I never really warmed up to it again.
I'm not sure how to advertise here. Other people who do what I do have thousands of subscribers and tens of thousands of hits on their songs. Beats me. I guess it may be that I'm just a hack.
I love ya Paulie, but I gotta take umbrage with your distaste for this song... :) Ya it's a bit Cold War Apoclyptic, but I love the structure... especially the instrumental part before, during and after the guitar break. Just drives real well for me for some reason :)
MuchMusic is to blame. The video (and a stupid video it was) was on all day every day for about a year. Also, the lyrics are hysterical [in the non-humourous sense of the word] and inaccurate.
I just listened to TBE for the first time in about ten years. I always thought that I would need electronic drums to play along, so I never did. I think I could probably do it on an acoustic with a few cheats here and there. Maybe I'll put it on my 'to do' list. Thanks for the suggestion.

Agree on the lyrics, but I think the tune itself has merit. The drums are excellent on it.

I noticed after the track, you went straight to your mouse. Do you control your video camera with your computer?
ddjj68 2 years ago
I control the computer program which records the audio/video. After the song, I just hit "close" to stop the recording.

ddjj68 2 years ago
I do not write lyrics, except for shits and giggles.
Neil has never contacted me.
I don't know whether he has seen any of this.
My wife freaks out all the time, but not about this.

I don't blame you. I hate this song too. The lyrics are stupid and the musical arrangements are convoluted, and not in a good way.

Considering this one's in your "don't like" column, you still play the hell out of it. Well done as always. (personally I like this song a lot)
