10 Times Musicians Trolled Their Audience

10. I Think I'm Going Bald - Rush

After coming off of their modest success with Fly By Night, Rush had finally figured out what they wanted their sound to be. Starting with Caress of Steel, the band began creating songs more unorthodox structures which often eclipsed 10 minutes. However, that didn't mean they forgot to have fun.

Much of the band's tour across America was supporting shock rockers KISS. While the prog heaviness of Rush may not have meshed neatly with KISS's straight ahead rock and roll, the bands got along well as the made their way across the States. The power trio's songs were getting more lengthy, but the band decided to knock out a short blast of glam rock mockery on "I Think I'm Going Bald."

Set against a rudimentary (well...by Rush standards) riff, the lyrics of the track was a play on the Gene Simmons ballad "Goin Blind." Instead of being about a separated couple, this song is just about Neil Peart's fears of losing his hair. Even though it is a joke track, the band took proper care of the recording, with the solo displaying some of Alex Lifeson's greatest bluesy guitar leads. The tides were turning for Rush, but songs like these were good indicators that nothing had gotten too serious.
