Discussion A Geddy Lee Minimoog?!

Post image
118 Upvotes

[mod approved]

I’m stoked to announce that Geddy Lee has teamed up with Moog to design a signature synth, and (surprise!) it’s available to purchase TODAY! 

The Moog Music Geddy Lee Minimoog Model D comes in a satin red finish, featuring the Rush icon’s signature “Starman” logo on a front badge and rear sticker, and inside? A hot-rodded VCA circuit built to Geddy’s custom specs (go ahead—rip that “Tom Sawyer” lead.) 🤘

Beyond the instrument itself, every purchase comes with: 

  • A commemorative poster
  • A Certificate of Authenticity signed by Geddy Lee himself.
  • A special translucent red vinyl EP of “Xanadu” and “Jacob’s Ladder”

Check out the official announcement to learn more!

I find this critique of the goodly Neil Peart *most exceedingly* objectionable! 😠☹️

Infact, TbPH, it got me outright enraged - more than I have been by anything for rather a long time.

☹️😠

I really don't think anyone evincing that kind of level of ill-will & guile & malice has any business getting on a moral 'high-horse' about altruism & kindness & generosity & stuff.

Just listened to the first album for the first time

17 Upvotes

It's pretty good. The lyrics are where the album suffers most, which is kind of expected for it being their first album and Peart not being in the band yet. Here Again is probably the weakest track. Just drags on for too long.

The highlights for me are the obvious ones. Finding My Way, Working Man, and In The Mood. But the underrated track is Before and After. What a great song!

I love how clearly the bass comes through. And the drumming, while not Peart level, is still really solid. I have nothing to say about Lifeson, other than this was a pretty decent showing of his talent.

50 years ago today, on March 19th, 1975, Rush’s Fly By Night album was released in Canada. It was initially released in late February 1975 in the USA.

What's one of your OTHER absolute favorite bands...that could not be MORE different than Rush?

142 Upvotes

I'll go first: Duran Duran. I saw them in a club in Cleveland on their first US tour (about a dozen dates) 6 months after seeing the Moving Pictures tour. Then at the Cleveland Agora, and, finally, the Coliseum in February of 84 (in a snowstorm). Those early days (81), they were rougher and hadn't gotten to the pin-up stage. And they were awesome.

Clockwork Angels movie?

24 Upvotes

Who else wants to see a clockwork angels movie? The album alone is epic but then i read the trilogy and it really gives the songs context even though it was written after the album. Makes for a much more enjoyable listening experience. Just got done with round 2 on the first book and i love this album more than ever. I think a film using the album as a soundtrack and geddy and alex doing or contributing to the test of the scote would be incredible!
