This aint Geddy Lee!

[enchantgy]

no-one said it was...

[timpyz]

what song is this

[enchantgy]

The song is called "Battlescar"

[xraytech2011]

@inextremus2

dude,it's 4/4 time.

The TEMPO is "adagio" (66-76 BPM) or maybe even Larghetto (60-66 BPM). yes,they are covering it a bit slow by a few beats. Battlescar, Ah Leah, (Donnie Iris), are a 2 of the best GD songs ever written in those years. I think Dan Acroyd said it best in the opening dialog of soul man when the Blues Brothers were touring :

.."by 1985 music will consist only pre-programed electronic disco, so relax and enjoy while you still can".....

[rockinrendell]

kind of looks like geddy on bass. got to see these guys open for rush twice

@ww3187

Of course!

WTF was I thinking? Or should I say smoking?

I got confused with the band name Butler.

You are right, it's Peter Fredette, awesome voice and musician.

Thanks man for the correction.

I m getting too old for weed I think...

[ww3187]

@menkeechang ....sorry - the guy on bass is the same bassist wh's been playing w/Kim for over 200 years....Peter Fredette!

[menkeechang]

Guy on bass is Paul Butler.

Excellent musician. I remember him playing with his band, Butler, back in the late seventies or early eighties, sitting on a stool on stage with a cast on his foot. Club name was Le Papillon, legendary.

I love the low key intro.

only a few greats can take a monster song and mellow it out and not lose the intensity. Johnny Cash, David Gilmour... and for all the idiots saying this song isn't the same without Geddy.. Peter Fredette is not only a great musician but he has an awesome vocal range.

@Wilfslad yes saw them at twice with RUSH in Dallas/Ft Worth late 75-76

[TTPeaceAndLoveTT]

This is a Max Webster Tune not a Rush or Geddy Lee tune so no need to be confused sure Geddy Lee is on the cover version but it's still a Kim Mitchell song

@enchantgy Well said, Geddy is the man but Peter is no slouch!!
