IpMan Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 11 hours ago, Badgeholder Still said: So who exactly is Alex copping in "La Villa Strangiato"? He was a pioneer of merging styles, sounds and effects. He was always growing and changing while sounding like Alex Lifeson. He's unmistakable. Is that a joke? Let's see, live, Ritchie Blackmore and to an extent, Steve Howe were doing the neoclassical stuff but for a more direct reference, KK Downing & Glen Tipton were doing identical runs and structures as early as 74'. Check it out homie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect there's many more (and better) bands that were influenced by Rush than appear on that list. It's just a pretty crummy list. ABC order, mate.

Both well recognized and classic songs from Both Groups. I chose these two songs from Led Zeppelin and Rush because they seem to be radio "staples" that are probably played more than a hundred times each day from all the various radio stations throughout the United States of America. "Black Dog" or "Tom Sawyer"? I love both bands and have seen Rush live. But I would much rather hear Black Dog on the radio. My opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal & Geddy do have their own, unique sound but unfortunately not Alex. I agree 100%, not calling Alex a slouch at all, he has some classic solos & riffs, just not great. As mentioned earlier, I was fortunate to see them during the Farewell to Kings Tour in the late 70's. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

Check it out homie. When I make a joke, you'll know it. You may be the butt of it. Every time someone plays a classical run they're ripping off Blackmore and Howe? Nice cut and paste logic. "Strangiato" must sound like Priest 'cause Lifeson stole the riffs and couldn't muster his own voice on the instrument. Only, it doesn't. Identical is a very specific word. Use with care. I know what you think you are hearing. Makes me wonder about your capacity to listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said Lifeson never developed his own unique sound, which he did not, I never said he copied or stole from anyone, just mentioned similarities. Have a drink or two and relax, life is too short.

BledZabbath Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I like them both, I hear Black Dog played more on radio, I also like Tom Sawyer a lot, Zep wins over Rush any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmalade_Skies Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Tom Sawyer. Better lyrics, more unique, and of course Peart's drum solos. The last 1/3 of Black Dog was great, but the first 2/3 was too formulaic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houses of the Holy Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Rush vs. Zep... That's akin to asking me which one of my brothers I love more. Unfair question. I heart em both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
