“Cold Fire” has some of Neil’s trickiest drumming, probably very hard for even him to play. Or at least it seems that way to me, you don’t hear much about the drumming on that song. I love hearing Geddy pummelling his bass right before the third chorus break in “Animate,” I first heard the song on Different Stages. “Animate” and “Cold Fire” both have great, very audible basslines. That being said I always thought “Stick It Out” was the most well known song from the album, I think I’d heard it maybe twice on the radio growing up.

Wikipedia:

“”Nobody’s Hero” is a song by Canadian progressive rock band Rush, released as the third single from their 1993 album Counterparts.[1] The first verse deals with the AIDS-related death of a gay man named Ellis Booth, a friend of Neil Peart when Peart lived in London. After the chorus, the second verse speaks of a girl who was murdered in Peart’s hometown, Port Dalhousie and was the daughter of a family friend, as remembered by Peart in Far and Wide: Bring That Horizon to Me! The girl is rumoured to have been Kristen French, one of Paul Bernardo’s victims.[2]”

Ooof, I’ve run into Paul Bernardo threads a few times, guy was a prick.
