Rush have pretty much seen and done it all maybe with the exception of death metal, disco and Christian music.
They have grown with each decade and grown and grown and grown bringing in new generations. They are being passed down from father to son ffs. lol
They do need to add to that catalogue though... Australia. Been waiting almost 30 years since I discovered them and would love to see them live down here even if I need to travel interstate to see them.
Rush is so awesome when they do songs like this. And then they have some other songs that blows the human race outta the planet!!! Best band to have lasted 30+ years. May they play on for many more years.
I have tremendous respect for Peart... He didn't take the easy way out like many most likely would. Now he has written many songs which will likely stand the test of time... Fantastic artist... just like the rest of the band... Rush for life.
Too those saying " Alex could have done a bit more"; If that is what you think you don't understand Rush at all. They don't play hard tunes because they are hard, but because they will sound really good.
i agree. that said almost everything geddy and neil do is hard to learn. poor alex, he's so good but in comparison to them his stuff is easier to learn
I do know that song. I know it very well. Don't get the idea I am making fun of them in any way-I love this band. But as i said in comparision to Geddy and Nei;l Alex is easier to learn. That doesn't mean he sucks, he is very good. It just shows how god neil and geddy are too.
@blurpy3 and hes doing way more than in the 80s when geddys synth took up much more of the lead roles and alex was mostly doing rythm stuff. (thats not to say i dont love the 80s stuff, cause its some of my favorites!)
This guitar solo remainds me of and transports me to Lifeson' solos melodic mood of the 70's and early of 80's......Great song!!!!! Outstanding band...
I love this song, and im not big on alot of the new rush stuf I usally stick to yo the old stuf from the 70's 80's and 90's. but snakes and arrows is a kick ass album
OMG it's out on DVD... I have the standard audio version and the computer play only version of Snakes and Arrows but need to get the concert... time to look on Ebay!!! lol
sorry, I just can't help but to swear.............this is just a fucking beautiful song. Thank you Geddy, Alex, and especially Neil for coming back to us. The three of you are inspirations to us all.
yes it is, it is a Pantoum, in a pantoum the second line of the first verse is the first line of the second verse, and the last line of the first verse is the third line of the next verse, and so on XD
lo mismo digo d aki, España, nunca vinieron,yo me fui a verlos fuera a EEUU y Francia. cuando yo era fans, poca gente los conocia aki, y ahora mira!!! lthe best band of the galaxy.....
Great song to hear live. I was kinda meh on thissong until I saw it live. When I saw it like with the videos in the background it became my fave on the CD.
screew you guys! i think all them kick ass. Main Monkey Business does get repetitive but i used it for a slide show for a trip i took in Africa and it suits it well.. All I'm trying to say is Snakes and Arrows does not blow...
If you think that the only good song on S&A is Far Cry, then you do not "love Rush" Far Cry is the most mainstream song on the record, I bet you also like Nickelback and other talentless psuedo artists.
God I love this song. I thought I "got" it when Snakes & Arrows was released, but I really didn't until I saw them live in July 2008. The imagery on the screens really ties it all together.
Rush continues to be so awesome. Very talented musicians. Geddy has a one of a kind voice and Neil Pert is by far one of the best drummers ever... Keep on Rockin'
We are all so 'Blessed' & lucky to have Geddy, Alex & Neil. They are tremendously talented musicians and fine gentlemen. This DVD is gonna be so special...25 + songs; and there's even more available on DVD.
It may be time for that new HDTV & Blu Ray.
Rush is "the best group in the galaxy"; nobody does it better, nobody ever will.
Yay, First comment. I have to admit this was the song i went to the bathroom on, both legs of the tour. This was an INCREDIBLE tour. I can't wait to buy this DVD next week
I still got top comment lol? Had forgotten I even wrote that xD But I still agree with what I wrote.

Snakes and Arrows does not "blow" !
Yes, it does have a few tunes that I don't care for like Faithless, and Bravest Face.
But Far Cry, The Larger Bowl, Good News First, and Working Them Angles are all great.
The instrumentals on there are all solid.
And Armor And Sword is a masterpiece.
