@Longlivethe4th Yeah, it's part 4 of a trilogy, so it doesn't make sense. If you listen to the following 3 instrumentals in reverse order, it sort of sounds like they would be the other parts.
@Longlivethe4th Yeah, it was meant as a joke to be "part 4" of the Gangster of Boats "trilogy". I'm not really sure what they are referring to for the "Gangster of Boats" thing but in all the research and digging I've done, they haven't said anything in interviews. But, don't feel like the only one. I made the same mistake too before smacking myself upside the head thinking "Dammit! The holy triumvirate got me again!"
Peart, Lifeson and Lee are phenomenal masters of cross-culture sound. And they're not afraid to go against the grain. Definitely, as you stated, southport: "... not even in the same galaxy!" Happy Trails.
Anybody here listen to Porcupine Tree aswell? For those of you who dont know, Alex Lifeson played the solo on "Anesthetize", nothing better than hearing your 2 favourite bands collaborate, and although 2 totally different bands, its nice to see them tie up in the same genre, Alex is a genius, Geddy is quality, Neil is what got me started with music! I love these guys..

@superunt43 You shall, kind sir. I, too, made the pilgrimage this July 2, to the humble venue known as "The Gorge" in Washington state, for their tour closer. Kindly accept a beer from my fridge!
@SenorSpode Thank you my friend, kindly accept I will, Molson or? LOL. May I humbly offer witnessing "Camera Eye" "Witch-hunt" live was something to behold. Watched these guys for 30 years I have here & in Ontario, first chance I had to watch both songs live. Speak of humble venues, saw them in Ontario years ago, place wouldn't seat 3,000? Burned the place down they did, not literally, LMAO.
@DanTheManCalter Though not official, it has been suggested that leave that thing alone, limbo, and the main monkey buisness are parts 3,2,and 1. When you think about it their sounds match up part to part
@BetterTasteThanU ...I seriously hope you are not calling RUSH "overrated".
Please don't make this personal but I'm going to tell you something.
I'm a typical 38yr old black man who listened to Hip Hop and Gospel music. I could care less for rock back in 1992 my roommate played RUSH! HOLY CRAPOLA MOTHER OF DRUMMERS! NIEL PEART MADE ME A FAN! The musical skill (hold on, gotta jam to this real quick)....okay, I'm back!.....but 20yrs later, I like everything Yngwie Malmsteen to The Killers.
@navyman4 "Those who wish to be must put aside the alienation, get on with the fascination the real relation, the underlying theme" ...It does´nt matter if you´re from a different culture or from a different race, it don´t matter if you´re like certain genre different than mine... If what i like makes you happy, and vice-versa you´re always free and very welcome to share your experience... Besides, diversity is what always makes great bands come to life! Best regards from Brazil!
@navyman4 Indeed my friend, indeed. I could not have said it better? You for all intent summed up my thoughts. 3 guys ride around and make life better for all of us, do they not?
@ilikehairbands It almost sounds to me like an electronic drum sound. He was getting pretty big into sequencers, click tracks and the electronic setup around this time. On the other hand, you could be right. The snare DOES have a nice, tight CRACK to it.
Listen too that EPIC ! space opening up at 37 seconds and at various points in the music. Just amazing how they ( Rush ) can fill your minds eye with this zenith like space and 360 degree panoramic scope...If you dont like Rush then I don't think we'll get on to be honest...G...
@TheMusicGuy88 Next years tour? I can't see them touring in 2012 after already having been on tour for almost 2 years but I hope they do. Saw them last week and they were outstanding.
I'm glad this album is finally getting praise. I remember when it was first relased and the "title song" was the primary target of ridicule. While I agree the title song is a rather generic pop song, the rest of the album is pretty damn good.
Especially this song and Ghost of a Chance.
Ghost of a Chance was one of their last top ten songs. Ghost to show the ablum was not as underrated as most want to believe.
Anyone who would comment about Rush that they are "atheist creeps" is failing to live by his own religious tenets. Very nice. Is your family descended from witch burners? Rush knew how to put those hypocrites in their place, too.
The fact is, atheism is far more reasonable to believe than your religious nonsense.
@peacefuljeffrey While I agree totally about throwing judgement at others sucks balls, not sure about the reasonable thing....kinda like believing you car was assembled by nobody. You don't see the manufacturing of it, it just shows up to the car lots....And Rush rocks....thatis all.
Would really like to see this return to the setlists, if only for hearing it done with even more swing (of the pre-T4E songs, this one probably has the most swing drum part).
are you one of those weak pussies, that look to songs for spiritual guidance? can't accept others opinions? think that bands like rush are out to destroy the world? and your children?
is it that wrong to have an opinion other than yours?
by they way, you are probably dead wrong....you just seem like an idiot
@ThePresident45 That's the first time I heard that too, of course it took me almost 20 years to figure out who played this song because I was 6 year old when that Royal Rumble happened lol.
at 0:40 i feel such an extasis... i unique sensation that lift me above the stars... i see myself playing drums on space... leaving all darkness behind me ...
@diazcamille Sadly, this is true. I would go out further and call Rush's Era #4 (Presto > RTB > Counterparts > Test for Echo) the one that doesn't get the love it deserves. Even though Counterparts was #2 and their highest charted even better than Moving Pictures, it's either era #2 from Permanent Waves to Signals or the newer stuff that sadly gets the priority on their live setlists and gets most talked about anywhere. What was wrong with Rush's stuff in the 90s?! NOTHING! It's all good!

I thought they chose Cliffs of Dover over this because Eric Johnson's guitarwork was truly astounding, and took many, many years to master, whereas this can be created on Garageband on a mac.
lol I'm pretty sure any given member of Rush has more chops and songwriting ability in one toenail than you or any retarded band you like has in their entire bodies, combined. So talent is definitely not a factor in why Rush wouldn't win something.
Eric Johnson? Lol, what kind of talent does he possibly acquire? Oh God he made a simple guitar solo song and got popular from Guitar Hero! Isn't he just the fucking master! Listen to the song La Villa Strangiato, and finally realize what creative, compelling, and talented guitar work actually is.
@stallionplaya52 Eric Johnson is a very talented guitarist who has won many awards in the past.... you can't disrespect him with a guitar hero argument. BUT, he is no Alex Lifeson, that's for sure.
As to why they chose Cliffs over "Where's My Thing?" has to do more with politics as usual with hating RUSH, rather than the pieces of music themselves. IMO, objectively, "Where's My Thing?" is just better for many reasons.
I just thought of something that would be really cool. What if Rush played a sort of "instrumental medley" incorporating every instrumental they've ever written. It could start out with La Villa, then YYZ would lead into Where's My Thing, then they'd break into Leave That Thing Alone and so on. They could even incorporate the instrumental portions of 2112 and Cygnus if they wanted to get really carried away.
The instrumental that became known as "Limbo" should have been part two of this and titled "Look at the Size of That Thing!" in keeping with the "thing" motif.
@burningxdimx The unfinished 4 part Gangster of Boats Trilogy (just like the 4 part "Fear" trilogy) are numbered in backwards order. The exception being part 4 of Fear, which actually did come in fourth position. And in case you're wondering...you can have as many parts to a trilogy as you want. Stop making sense, right this very instant!
I'd describe this song as... mischievous. Just like a Cheshire Cat. I can't help but make a really silly grin.

I thought they chose Cliffs of Dover over this because Eric Johnson's guitarwork was truly astounding, and took many, many years to master, whereas this can be created on Garageband on a mac.

LOL. I love EJ and Cliffs of Dover but man you are fucking out of you mind to make a Garageband Mac comment about this brilliant song.

lol I'm pretty sure any given member of Rush has more chops and songwriting ability in one toenail than you or any retarded band you like has in their entire bodies, combined. So talent is definitely not a factor in why Rush wouldn't win something.

Eric Johnson? Lol, what kind of talent does he possibly acquire? Oh God he made a simple guitar solo song and got popular from Guitar Hero! Isn't he just the fucking master! Listen to the song La Villa Strangiato, and finally realize what creative, compelling, and talented guitar work actually is.

@stallionplaya52 Word. Check my channel for my guitarist La Villa Strangiato cover on U-Tube if you want a close up on what Alex is playing.

@stallionplaya52 Eric Johnson is a very talented guitarist who has won many awards in the past.... you can't disrespect him with a guitar hero argument. BUT, he is no Alex Lifeson, that's for sure.

I love "cliffs of dover", but after a while the repetitive notes and meandering sound begins to eat at my brain stem.

As to why they chose Cliffs over "Where's My Thing?" has to do more with politics as usual with hating RUSH, rather than the pieces of music themselves. IMO, objectively, "Where's My Thing?" is just better for many reasons.
biped19 2 years ago 2
I just thought of something that would be really cool. What if Rush played a sort of "instrumental medley" incorporating every instrumental they've ever written. It could start out with La Villa, then YYZ would lead into Where's My Thing, then they'd break into Leave That Thing Alone and so on. They could even incorporate the instrumental portions of 2112 and Cygnus if they wanted to get really carried away.

The instrumental that became known as "Limbo" should have been part two of this and titled "Look at the Size of That Thing!" in keeping with the "thing" motif.
schmittelt 2 years ago 31
And either "Malignant Narcissism" or "The Main Monkey Business" as part one and called "Things Aren't What They Used To Be"

@schmittelt you're forgetting that Leave That Thing Alone came before Limbo

@burningxdimx The unfinished 4 part Gangster of Boats Trilogy (just like the 4 part "Fear" trilogy) are numbered in backwards order. The exception being part 4 of Fear, which actually did come in fourth position. And in case you're wondering...you can have as many parts to a trilogy as you want. Stop making sense, right this very instant!
