Never let be said that I didn't aid a BC fan in the pursuit of happiness; if
you want to e-mail me, maybe I can get a tape to you. As far as liking their
current stuff, well, I can't understand why, but more power to you. BTW, if 
you like BC, you really ought to get all of Free's stuff (in some ways even
superior to BC), as well as The Firm, The Law, the one-shot Willie and the
Poor Boys album, and Paul Rodgers' solo album. Oh, and from what I understand,
there's a cover of "Bad Case of Loving You" by Rodgers on the Dr. Giggles
soundtrack.
     And hey, just to get this back to Rush, I'll remind everyone to send me
their guess for the new album title at rush2112@mace.cc.purdue.edu. You have
been warned!

I hate become one of those people who always says, "check the FAQ", but all of
the answers about Red Barchetta that many are seeking lately can be found there.
I recall reading them last time I looked.  Unfortunately, I can't recall what
the exact explanations were.  If I remember right, a Barchetta is a type of 
Ferrari.  I could be wrong.  That wouldn't be an earth-shattering discovery.

You'll have to forgive if this has been posted before, but my curiosity is
killing me.

On MP you can hear some ya-hoo yelling something as soon as the boys start
into "Witch Hunt" (which is obviously a live recording of one of their
performances.)

The guy yells something that is almost discernable, but my hearing must be
failing me.  For the life of me, I can't hear what he's yelling.  

Does anyone know?

What is this guy saying, Niel Peart is soulless. Bite Pez man! you should 
really listen more Niel is not a drummer he is an all out percussionist
and definitely the best.  He use all aspects of percussion to create
SOULFUL sounds. Check out the middle of "The Tress" the feel Niel creates
is brilliant.  This not the only example. Listen to the live version of
"Passage to Bankok" Niel fills only make the song more enjoyable.  Bonham is 
good, but compared to Niel he is still bass bass snare bass bass snare. Niel
proved that the snare doesn't just have to be on two and four.

Remeber LISTEN to What Neil is doing. He is no way SOULLESS

According to _Visions_, Rush never tried a 4th member on tour.  The idea
was considered quite a few times, but the band was reluctant to tinker with
the chemistry of the group.  Rush was a 4-piece band for part of 1969, but
that was the last time.

Subject: 4 members...

The band already has 4 main voices, so the recorded stuff would probably just
be denser in synth presence if the trio became a quartet.

When I saw Roll the Bones for the first time, my eyes were glued to Geddy.
When I noticed that all the synth parts were not played or triggered by foot
pedal, I looked behind Neil (good seats!) and next to his tech was a man with a
keyboard who was apparently (I watched his fingers on the keys) playing live.
Who?  No clue, but my guess is Rupert Hine.  It is also no secret that the
three were accompanied by live players during E...SL touring.

Words from Geddy on how live performances influenced their records:

"Yes, [we always have to think about performing songs live as a trio when mak-
ing a record] in a sense.  But over the course of the last three albums, we've
gradually said, 'to hell with the live thing, let's just make the best record
we can make.'  It took a long time to say that, because we were a live band for
so many years... "

He elaborates on how bass/synth/pedal trade-off was used as an element in
arranging the music.  So yes, being a trio HAS ABSOLUTELY affected their
songwriting.

Maybe they don't need a fourth member to record (Geddy and Alex and their
various producers do a fine job) but how about after their first string of
songs played live, Geddy says, "Thank yeeew!", points to someone behind a synth
stack and continues in that nasal Polish/Canadian voice, "this is Rupert, who's
gonna help us with some of the parts tonight..."...

I think a fouth live player would be cool.  Rush would still be a trio, and we
could see them goof off a lot more during their concerts.

Did anyone out there get a chance to see Primus when they were touring with
Rush?  They never came to Halifax, but I think that would be my dream
concert.  Two of my very favorite bands together.  Also, the world's
two best bassists (Les and Geddy) in one gig.  I'm wondering if the two 
jammed bass together on stage or what?  I know they're good friends, and
seeing that would be amazing!
