I don't think ppl notice this about Alex Lifeson...
Most guitarists have their style that they usually stick to, but Alex plays all styles and often all in one song. This is a great example of that.
Droning chords
Palm muted arpeggios
Clean picking
Chugging power chords
Harmonics
"Distant Early Warning" is another good example.
And everything you listed he excels at in setting the mood in his sound
This is why I’m here. What an insightful and informative comment! I honestly can’t think of another guitarist who uses natural harmonics like Lifeson. Such a weird, unpredictable and exciting writer and player
That's because it is Prog Rock (Progressive). The style changes multiple times throughout the song. Like for instance YYZ, and other bands that are in either Prog Rock or Prog Metal ex: Yes, Pink Floyd, and Genesis. Definition of Prog Rock: "Progressive rock is a type of rock music with complicated musical technique and composition". It is also known to change the style of the song throughout different parts of the song.
Underrated Album. Power windows is absolutely one of their best. Its the perfect blend of synthesizer/keyboard and instruments, of any album ever. Really shows off how talented they are. Geddy especially... these guys are all monster musicians
My favourite Rush album, tied with Hemispheres.
Alex: "To me, this record is a lot like 'Moving Pictures', because I also think that album strikes a fine balance between keyboards and guitar."
@@emjem99 great minds think alike. I consider Hemispheres and Power Windows their two masterpieces sonically.
WHAT!!!! Great surprise!! Welcome back.
The amazing part about Rush is they sounded even better live! So privileged to have seen them 5 times and blew me away every time!
Good to have you back!
He’s baaaack !!!!
So good to see ya back! The Big Money is the brilliance of Geddy Lee. The bass on this track is in the pocket note for note.
15 years old in 1985, playing my Japanese p-bass because I can’t afford a Rickenbacker. Trying to figure out this song…poorly lol
I also turned 15 in 1985 and didn't realize how good this song was until I got a lot older.
What a christmas present!!
In my 'Top 3' Rush albums. I was 16 in 1986 when it was released. It was just so sonically rich and full of fresh and new sounds. They moved forward while still retaining who they were. I'll never understand those who shipped out after 'Moving Pictures' in 1981. They really deprived themselves of some fantastic music. If you don't move forward you end up being a band like 'Dream Theater', constantly repeating the same themes and vibe. I'm so grateful that the prog bands of the '70's like genesis, Rush and even Yes had the courage to escape their legend and risk it all for a better future.
Geddys bass playing is insane in this, one of their highest charting hits.
Great to see you back, I always enjoy your reactions!
This is the first album where Geddy ventured into using the British-made Wal bass with its rubbery popcorn style tone instead of the usual grunt from his Rickenbacker or Fender Jazz. He would use the Wal basses for a few albums and then return to the Fender Jazz bass for the 1993 Counterparts album.
Welcome back!
When I saw them do this one live, they had left and right rear PA speakers hanging from the ceiling. At the start, Alex’s guitar came in from the front, and the keyboards responded from the rear. Different parts of Neil’s kit were sent to one or both of the rear channels as well. The sound was whirling all around us. Rush had the best sounding shows Ive ever heard.
one of my top20 Al solos. great stuff!
Welcome back! Always enjoy your Rush reactions.
PW is a masterpiece! Mind blowing musicality!
Welcome back! I've always liked the lush arrangements on Power Windows as a welcome change after the darker, heavier arrangements on Grace Under Pressure, and I hope you like them too. See you in the next video!
🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐
This is great!! PW is one of my favorite Rush albums!
Nice to see ya!
About time bro !!!! :P Glad to have you back ! PW is one of my favourites !
Recorded masterpiece .
Welcome back! Quite a change in sound but fun and different. At first it took me a few plays to really get used to it, but that was rather normal for a new Rush album. :)
Geddy pulling a riot of semi-funky stuff there on the bass.
I like how I can see what you're listening to as you change your focus back and forth and around. :)
Welcome back again, Tim!
Welcome back, took me awhile to see that you was back.
I've been following you all the way this Rush journey.
I love Rush, my favorite band besides the Beatles.
And like your journey, I started with Rush from the beginning. I have the albums & ticket stubs to prove it.
But Power Windows was the first Rush album i was disappointed with. There are a couple of outstanding tracks, but most of it I was so so about.
Grand Designs
Manhattan Project
Marathon
Those three, great stuff.
One of my many favorites from this band. All three shine and whole is greater than the sum of parts, as always.
This is the song that got me hooked. 13 year old me had his mind blown again.
According to Alex Lifeson, Rush wanted to combine the strongest elements from 1982’s Signals and 1984’s Grace Under Pressure and use them for Power Windows. For him, this was one of the most cohesive and satisfying recordings he and his bandmates ever put together ... Power Windows featured elements of musical material Rush never used before, allowing them to break several boundaries as recording artists. This was the album that Rush agreed to not hold any of their creativity back. - excerpts from ClassicRockHistory
Power Windows is Rush's most accomplished album to date. The band were able to go beyond their past triumphs and achieve a staggering advance in every aspect of their performance : playing, writing and in the sound clarity of the recording. - Visions: The Official Biography
WOW! Tim! Glad you're back. Hope everything is well.
Great to see you Tim, and welcome back!🏆
Nice see you again.
Glad yer back.
Good to have you back bro
Alex's pre-release solo version of this is insane if you want to look for it.
Lifelong Rush fan, my favorite.
I know music is subjective but god damn, how can anyone say the keys ruin this era of Rush?
I can. Subdivisions is a perfect example of it
@@thatsnice99That’s a Terry Brown problem, not a “keys exist” problem.
@@philsmith2444 rush got 10x worse after T Brown
I’m glad you’re back brother!! I immediately re subscribed!👍
Nice job. This song’s the most UNDERRATED SONG EVER
Rush became one of my fav bands in the late 70s and still is. But was never a fan of their stuff after Moving Pic the synth took over their sound too much for me There are some i like but most sound the same to me I have been called not a true Rush fan for saying this But if i make it to my 80s i will still be rocking The Fountain in my hearing aids
What. WHAT???
Welcome back Tim! This track is fire, but the rest of the album is different…but better IMHO.
Welcome back. Can we hear some of your music. You play right?
🎉😮🎉 Can you as a guitar player, explain the chords or notes Alex is playing in Big Money? When it came out an acquaintance who was a polished player couldn't play a certain part due to Alex's span. Apparently Alex can reach frets beyond the avg sized ✋️ 😮
This has to be one of my *least* favorite of all Rush songs, but I *am* the biggest Rush fan on the planet, and I enjoy your channel so...support and a thumbs up.
Oh my god! Someone who actually listens through speakers instead of headphones! I cannot stand a set of headphones. I worked in radio and television broadcasting as an engineer for a while and one thing that I used to always hate was when I had to put on somebody else's cans. I just hate it hate it hate it! Give me the open air sound of some speakers any day. Hope you're enjoying your rush visit! Something that could definitely be turned up to 9:00 on the speakers just don't blow the cones! Peace!
Welcome Back again!!
