Click on "CC" icon for Closed Captioning (Lyrics on Screen) "Stick it Out" is the second track from Rush's fifteenth studio album titled "Counterparts", recorded at Le Studio (Morin-Heights, Quebec) and McClear Pathé (Toronto, Ontario) from April–June 1993 and released on October 19, 1993. Rush chose English producer Peter Collins who had co-produced Power Windows (1985) and Hold Your Fire (1987) with the band. Lee said that the band had remained friendly with Collins, and noticed he had developed as a producer since they had last worked with him, including his work with more American rock bands. "As soon as we talked. We knew it would be great [...] and he agreed with the vision of what we saw; and his comments, criticizing the last couple records, sonically anyway, were very much in line with the direction we wanted to go, and we thought, 'Bingo! Here you go, this is what we need." Counterparts marks a continuation in the band's transition from synthesizers to guitar-oriented music which had started on Presto (1989). Lifeson said that this was the first time since Moving Pictures (1981) that there was a conscious decision to have the guitar take a predominant role which resulted in a more satisfying album for him. The writing sessions were met with increased tension between Lee and Lifeson, matters of which began on the Roll the Bones Tour over musical differences. Lifeson had constantly asked for Lee not to use any keyboards for the album but Lee brought them into the studio which created "an immediate atmosphere". Lee maintained that keyboards were used on Roll the Bones merely to embellish the songs and wished to use them in the same manner for Counterparts. "But Alex was making assumptions that I wanted keyboards all over the place." "Stick It Out" developed from a guitar riff that Lifeson had come up with which Lee had liked, so they "stretched it out a bit, added a few more things and it became that song". With its lyric - a simple exploration of the title's double meaning - the song that the band claim "verges on parody" is one of the heaviest the band would record. With guitars tuned down to Drop D, Lee and Lifeson provide the key motif of the song in its uncomplicated, heavy riff. While the riff in itself straightforward, it's ambiguous rhythmic placement is the first hint that this song is significantly more complex than it initially seems. With its jazzy interlude and complex percussive turnarounds, "Stick it Out" is considerably more interesting than its simple hard-rock tropes may initially suggest. While the band have spoken somewhat unkindly about the song, they did go on to perform it live during their retrospective Time Machine tour, suggesting that some fondness does remain for this swaggeringly heavy track. "Stick it Out" has the dubious honor of being the only Rush song to have been critiqued by MTV's Beavis and Butthead, who were unimpressed with the song's promo-video and its star, "a dude with dreadlocks and tattoos strapped to a chair". Neil Peart (from Modern Drummer magazine, February 1994): "How could I approach that song properly and yet give it a touch of elegance that I would want a riff-rock song to have? I don't want it to be the same type of thing you'd hear on rock radio. So I started bringing in Latin and fusion influences. There's a verse where I went for a Weather Report-type effect. I used some tricky turn-arounds in the ride cymbal pattern, where it goes from downbeat to upbeat accents--anything I could think of to make it my own. That song verges on parody for us, so we had to walk a careful line. We responded to the power of the riff, yet still found some ways to twist it to make it something more." Like other action titles, (Show Don't Tell, Face Up), this song is quick witted in it's word play. Neil Peart (from the Counterparts World Radio Premiere): "It's just a play on the words, really. 'Stick It Out' meaning both a kind of arrogant display, 'stick it out', but also the endurance thing; if you have a difficult thing to endure, stick it out and you get to the end. It was the pun on both of those, really, so again the duality in the song is a bit leaning both ways. The sense of forbearance, of holding back, and also the idea of fortitude: stick it out, you know, survive. But that was more of a piece of fun, that song I would say, both lyrically and musically it verges on parody, and that was one I think we just had fun with, and lyrically I certainly did, too. 'Stick it out' and 'spit it out' and all that was just a bit of word play." Lead singer and bassist Geddy Lee said: I love the riff. It’s a great riff song. I love playing it, and it’s a very bass-heavy song, which always makes me happy. Lyrically, it’s kind of so-so. I don’t know. I think the best thing about it is the vibe and that it’s stripped down to a trio, back to doing riff rock. Geddy Lee - Vocals, Bass Alex Lifeson - Guitar Neil Peart - Drums, Lyrics #MysticRhythmsLive
