I guess I have to write something to get the post to work

Try opening this in several windows 30 seconds apart. Even better!

I'm not sure it's worth having to look at Geddy Lee for slightly longer.
-
Can you get Geddy Lee's voice to slow down enough to sound like Johnny Cash?
Now that I think about it, the reverse would be cool as well. A Boy Named Sue sung by Alvin of the Chipmunks might be something I'd put on my ipod.
-

I was actually thinking that slowed down Geddy Lee sounds kind of like Glenn Danzig.
Now that I think about it, the reverse would be cool as well. A Girl Named Sue sung by Alvin of the Chipmunks might be something I'd put on my ipod.
Is "A Girl Named Sue" the sequel to "A Boy Named Sue" where the girl has a pretty normal life and then grows up and meets her dad and they hit it off right away.
-
Yeah, I was changing it when you were composing dammit. lol :) Likely story, huh?
Danzig would be cool. How 'bout Brad Roberts from Crash Test Dummies. He's even Canadian.
Peart and Lifeson playing on The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead from Dumb and Dumber, not so much.

Dude's not a pretty lady.

So this is the alternate-universe version of Rush that debuted in 1991, opened for Pearl Jam and became "that one band I used to see on 120 Minutes all the time"?
-
I'm one of those Rush fans you here about every so often, but I think I like this even better. I am going to pull out Led Zeppelin II and see if I can get Plant's lyrics down to Geddy's normal range.
-
This sounds like a combination of Ween and Type O Negative...
-
I wonder if half-speed Robert Plant lyrics would be twice as offensive?
-
What the hell is this song about anyway? My guess is that it has something to do with Ayn Rand.

Ack, don't they suck enough without bringing that troll into it?
-
They may suck, but that slowed down version of Tom Sawyer isn't half bad. I agree with you about Ayn Rand, though.
-
Don't you people realize that slowing it down makes the song SIX MINUTES LONG!?! That is 90 seconds longer than the original! YOU WILL NEVER GET THAT TIME BACK!
GAAAA!!! I'm chokin' on my own spit over here!!!...
(Actually I thought Rush could have been decent if they had never met G. Lee. That guy is the worst.)
-
I hate it.
-
How about Rush Limbaugh's Tom Sawyer?
-

The modern day warrior, duh.

If you aren't 100% joking, I think this statement above all others requires a "jpeg?". Come on, man!!

Don't forget, that his mind is not for rent to any god or government. So, he's not an equal opportunity mind renter. Boycott this Sawyer fellow!
-
I don't appreciate the Rush hate :( and yes I'm American. I don't think Rush is the greatest band, but I appreciate their musical talent, and not all their songs are zzz.

I am with you 100%. I have about 15 Rush discs, and like most of them.
-
I've been going through a rush revival after swearing them off at 17.
Sure do like Farewell to Kings.

I don't get the Rush hate either. They're not my favorite band, but I've heard much worse.
-
I don't think people "hate" Rush so much as enjoy making fun of the people who like them.
But seriously, even if you limit the universe of bands to "seventies rock" and prog rock, they don't come out looking too good. We could do a Rush Elimination: put them head-to-head against ELO, Yes, etc.
I think Rush might be better than Galt Aureus (http://www.galtmusic.com/), "the rock/classical fusion band that plays Objectivism influenced music."

How about Rush Limbaugh's Tom Sawyer?
If you've seen the Cage movie "Knowing", this might be a weird case of synchronicity. Or just plain disturbing. Projectile style disturbing.
A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Todays Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.
Though his mind is not for rent,
Dont put him down as arrogant.
His reserve, a quiet defense,
Riding out the days events.
The river.
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.
The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his eyes are wide.
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.
No, his mind is not for rent
To any God or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes aren't permanent,
But change is.
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the witness, catch the wit,
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.
The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his skies are wide.
Exit the warrior,
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.

Ftr, I'm not a bible beater. {Maybe it's because I'm from Kansas}

I used to hate Rush as a kid, then sort gave them a chance and thought "Well, they are musically talented, but these lyrics ... oh, brother." Then one day I sat down behind a drumset and gained a totally new respect.
I "love" Rush. But I don't love Rush. I only own 1 disc (Retrospective II), I've never tried to see them in concert. But if they come on the radio or show up in "I Love You, Man" I crank it up a little.

Maybe we could work out a deal,Jose the regular.
I'm thinking a new soundboard and a little something for my pay-pal account. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink>
I'm willing to work something oot. (Too much Canadian radio, I suspect).

Now I wanna hear Rush screwed down and chopped up.
Liv Liv Liv ing in the Lime Light Light Light
-
Limelight has a super-awesome guitar riff.

Limelight has a super-awesome guitar riff.
Better than Spirit of Radio's guitar riff?
I think when it comes to Rush, all I really ever need to hear from them is Red Barchetta, Subdivisions, Limelight, Time Stand(s) Still*, Tom Sawyer, New World Man and, every once in a great while, The Trees and Absolum**. So far, I've made it 29 years without hearing their entire catalogue, and I turned out okay ... right?
*I didn't feel like looking up the correct title.
**Songs listed in order of awesome.

Why does it happen?
I love a Rush compilation if I am in the right mood. It's got to contain YYZ twice, though, like bookends.

What did TOm Sawyer do to deserve being this song's namesake, pay someone to paint a fence with an apple? A "nice, playful boy" who is also "selfish, deluded, and particularly racist." Modern day warrior, please? How is his mind not for rent, is he really particullarly rebellious or just perpetuating the system with his childish highjinks. How is Rush's objectivist or whaterver modern day warrior today's Tom Sawyer?
-
if this ain't Hardhat Radio, I don't know what is. now THATS a riff.
(Rush apologist here)

I guess slowing music down constituted a new genre.

The sonic equivalent of drinking a bottle of nyquil. Uggg.

Nah, Barr cough syrup. Which btw, thanks for glamorizing that, now they gotta put extra ass flavor in the codeine cough syrup so people don't abuse it. Last year I had a nasty cough and I had to drink that garbage.

Because he gets high on you.
Oh, and DFK and MoS: Yes, I am never psyched to hear Roll the Bones. And YYZ ... I forgot to add that to my list. Please go easy on me in our next belt-whippin' match.

The song was written unintentionally, unconsciously, and prophetically about Rush Limbaugh through a common phenomena known as synchronicity.
Look up the lyrics and think of the fat bastard while you read them. They fit.
Not saying the band is in anyway shape or form a Rush supporter since the song was written way before his career got started. It's just synchronicity that's all.
And he does get high on you. You gotta bring your own oxycontin however.
-
That is a very astute observation, spaceprophet.
No his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is
This is the Rush Limbaugh credo in so many words.
-
Plus Tom Sawyer is an asshole.
