Freak By Night Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 If you see an Albino dude with a huge beard, surrounded by a cloud of smoke, tell him I say hi.
Kanada Kev Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Posted July 9, 2008 The guy knows how to USE it ... that's what counts. He ain't no poseur.
phishtaper Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 oh dont get me wrong. rush is legendary and peart's one of the top rock drummers EVER. but man, I do not envy his set-up techdude.
Schwa. Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 the thing i've always noticed about Peart is that he doesn't really "keep the beat." he plays every single possible beat in and around the beat making him pretty original and lightning fast. My favourite beat keeping drummer is Copeland.Have fun though KK! I'd be there if i lived closer.
Kanada Kev Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Posted July 9, 2008 The other day Kim Mitchell was talking about Rush's techdudes. He said that Alex and Geddy's are super nice guys, but that Peart's is one of the crankiest/grumpiest/mumbling crabapple around who never smiles. I guess dealing with that kit is a bit much, like you said
phishtaper Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 hey kev, u seem to be a rush fan. did u go see that 2112 show?
phishtaper Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 I saw that 2112 show back in 1977.ok, that would have been pretty fucking cool! (I got the album then, but was too young to go see them.) i was actually referring to the one a couple of summers ago.
Kanada Kev Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Strangely i wasn't a massive Rush fan when I was younger. I had a bunch of friends who were totally into them. I was running along fine with the Stones, Beatles, Zep, Genesis, etc. Every year it seemed Rush would play at least one gig in Toronto (usually at MLG) and I never went. I finally got around to it when they did the R30 tour and haven't looked back. Kickass musicians, killer live shows. That 2112 show a couple of years ago was a real treat Here's a recent setlist from Puerto Rico: SETLIST Setlist: Limelight Digital Man Ghost Of A Chance Mission Freewill The Main Monkey Business The Larger Bowl Red Barchetta The Trees Between The Wheels Dreamline Far Cry Workin' Them Angels Armor and Sword Spindrift The Way The Wind Blows Subdivisions Natural Science Witch Hunt Malignant Narcissism (Drum Solo) Hope The Spirit Of Radio 2112 (Overture/Temples of Syrinx) Tom Sawyer Encore: One Little Victory A Passage To Bangkok YYZ Edited July 9, 2008 by Guest
Kanada Kev Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Posted July 9, 2008 If that doesn't read well, here's a pic of the setlist on some bass pedals: SETLIST
mark tonin Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 I'll be there on the lawn. Maybe I'll see you there Kanada Kev.Peace, Mark
Jaimoe Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 I noticed this on today's RS main page:http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/21743589/rush_the_complete_albumbyalbum_guide
\/\/illy Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Great show last night. That venue sounds like ass in many places but if you move around and find a nice pocket it's tolerable. Rush were on fire as they always are. It still amazes me to watch three 60-year olds make that much music and do so flawlessly.
mark tonin Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Ditto to what \/\/illy said. From what I can tell, they haven't lost a step.Peace, Mark
Kanada Kev Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Posted July 10, 2008 They really were ON last night. We found a bunch of sweet spots for sound (espedially in and around the soundboard ). Beautiful night last night for a concert. Loved it.Neil Peart is a MACHINE!!! He is so amazing at what he does.
\/\/illy Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 I'll tell you who's a machine: Tonin tipping back those 20oz beers!
mark tonin Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 I'll tell you who's a machine: Tonin tipping back those 20oz beers! That's because I didn't want to suck!
Thorgnor Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 The other day Kim Mitchell was talking about Rush's techdudes. He said that Alex and Geddy's are super nice guys, but... Really?!?!?!?!?I'd be a fuckin'mess if I had to listen to Geddy's voice all day every day.
