FYI a little 2112 trivia question...anyone out there notice anything special about the "Grand Finale" lets see who the real rush fans are??? good luck
@metallyrics411 which parts? Oracle? Where the hell is the world without love in 2112? It's about oppression of MUSIC, not love. It takes place in the year 2112, not 1984. and 2112 was released in 1976, years before 1984 came out. So how could Rush copy it?
Glee is making a Rush episode. I am already pissed since they will touch Tom Sawyer, Limelight, and probably Closer to the Heart, but so help me God if they touch 2112 I might have to kill someone.
It's not even the second longest. "The Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" by Dream Theater is over twice as long as this, and DT has at least three more songs over 20 minutes.
I love Rush, I wish i would have been born listening to them. BUUUUTTTT NOOOOOO, had to wait 13 years :(, atleast the past 4 have been filled with awesome music
It has nothing to do with democrats or liberal views. You are way off track. There will never be a red star. Communists have failed. And for mr. Gelyphish, 2012 is the supposed time of the end not 2112.. Which, is total bullshit anyway.. The band RUSH is not religious and does not think or write songs in that way.
There is no more exploring the earth, nor is there inherent. We try to comfort ourselves and move on.... Love and peace. Let's get this earth sane, then we can explore. I was given the gift of life. I don't want to waste it.
@runekey I got the album, cd, 8 track, casette,and real to real and I have yet to discover the mystery minute. If you can find a deep throat you will come forward with it and please upload......
@alpinestars11bbi the song is called 2112 because that has to do with the end of the world in the bible (revelations 21:12 or something like that) it has nothing to do with the actual length of the song.
The late 70s' in west Berlin, (The wall was still up.) I was quartered in the barracks that Hitlers old SS troops used to use, built in grand style with 20 foot ceilings. In comes 'poodle' with a new album. We smoked a blunt (we called it a 'Berliner' back then) as we were sooooo blown away by what we heard. If you are young and listening to this, you are among the fortunate few that get it. A glimpse into how we got where we are now, and where we might be going. LONG LIVE RUSH 2112
@siugi2121 the proper way to smoke a "Berliner" is make fist with your right hand. You stick the blunt between your pinkie and third fingers and then the smoke between your thumb and 1st finger. (Your hand acts as a carburetor.) My younger friends laughed their asses off the first time they saw me do this, now, they won't do it any other way.
@rappinpat Great story! First I heard this was on a old tape deck in a car in University. We smoked two and I was blown away but not by the joints. I was use to those. The music!!!
Awesome video interpretatin of this classic RUSH tune!
