Funny, I love Kid Gloves, Lifeson rips off one of his best solos on that track.  Absolutely detest Red Lenses (that got me into trouble with Equality Embarrassed)


You beat me to the punch, Patrick. Even as a snot-nosed kid I could hear with my not-so-critical ear that Lifeson pulls off one memorable solo. Just razor sharp and quick. One of his best (and there are many).

If he has any testicles left, we all know what steroids can do to a body.

I have seen that you have mentioned Contents Under Pressure a couple of times. 
 
I read the biography Visions a number of years ago, which was very good.  Have you read this one?  I am probably going to pick up Contents Under Pressure anyhow, but I am curious as to how much is added to Visions.  If nothing else, it should have an additional 8 to 10 years of band info.

Solo from "Kid Gloves" just finished ... and I still maintain that it's a Lifeson classic. That's what I love about Lifeson's playing is not of it's for show--it's always a statement.

Never even heard of it ! Embarrassed
What is great about Contents Under Pressure is how they analyze EACH album from the debut to either Vapor Trails, Feedback or R30 (damn, have to check this at home!)
Each chapter is an album.  Great insights from the band !
Who wrote Visions ?

Bill Banasiewicz (sp?).  In many of their early albums, they listed him as "B" as one of the people that they thanked.  I heard somewhere down the line they had a falling out.  Not sure if it was due to the book or not.

I remember Skip Gildersleeve always was mentioned in their albums for years and years. Haven't seen his name in ages, though.

^ Skip Gildersleeve was listed on Different Stages Live as office production for T4E Tour.  Only album I have currently with me.

I found the cassette tape I made of obscure Rush songs oh so many years ago.  Following is the songlist:
 
The Enemy Within
The Weapon
Witch Hunt
What You're Doing
Making Memories
Rivendell
I Think I'm Going Bald
Lessons
Tears
Madrigal
Broon's Bane
Circumstances
Entre Nous
Different Strings
Vital Signs
Losing It
After Image
Middletown Dreams
Emotion Detector
Tai Shan
Anagram (for Mongo)
 
These were the obscure songs from Rush debut through Presto.  Still a pretty good listen.

I love how a compilation of their "obscure" songs still yields something completely awesome, which I would listen to straight through, and not be bored.  I mean, what a band!!  Clap

Now if I had to choose obscure songs from Presto and up, the list would be something like this :
 
Scars
Red Tide
Available Light
Heresy (one of the best songs on Roll The Bones, and it would have fitted very nicely on Hold Your Fire in my opinion, it reminds me of Prime Mover)
Ghost of a Chance
Cut to the Chase
Double Agent
Time and Motion
Ceiling Unlimited
Vapor Trails

Yeah, some of my all time favorites are included there, like Losing It and Tai Shan. I've never heard anyone say they love Tai Shan, but for me it's one of their top ten songs.
