something to share

When I was young, as a kid before I was 13 my mom once used the intro of this song to get me out of bed.

She put headphones on my head, turned up the volume and played it, to me the intro is the ultimate alarm chime.

Also, I became a Pink Floyd fan

@Richard65 Yes, David Gilmour did make a strat sing nicely

AllycatAD · 26-30

@Richard65 Three other guitarist actually soloing and instrumental work the I like is.

Joe Satriani
Alex Lifeson
Eric Johnson

@AllycatAD I love Rush, I've seen them twice. I prefer their early albums up to Moving Pictures. Lifeson is excellent. My brother has seen Satriani a few times live.

AllycatAD · 26-30

@Richard65 Geddy Lee is also amazing, who else can sing, play the bass and use a pedal keyboard all at the same time?

AllycatAD · 26-30

@Richard65 My introduction to RUSH was their iconic Album 2112, I was thinking, "this a trio?"
Joe Satriani it was his album, "flying in a blue Dream"

Richard65 · M

@AllycatAD yes, 2112 is immense. It's astounding how a threepiece could create that sound. They are all incredible musicians. Peart was a magnificent drummer.

AllycatAD · 26-30

@Richard65 They would probably gone on for another few years if Peart was still alive

@AllycatAD it was a tragic end for the guy, really, after his family died, but I'm glad I was lucky enough to see the band on the couple of occasions I managed to get tickets. I've not heard much of Satriani, my brother is really a fan of his. I still listen to early Rush albums. In fact, after talking on here with you the other day I played some of their stuff.
