Roll the Bones is the title track from Rush's 1991 album of the same name. It continues Rush's alternative style that began with 1989's Presto, which reduced the band's usage of keyboards (though they were still used in this, and other tracks from the '90s) and returned the emphasis to bass and electric guitar.
The song follows in the vein of tracks such as "Show Don't Tell" from Presto, and helps to establish what would become Rush's musical style for the 1990s. The lyrics, written by drummer Neil Peart, reflect on taking chances in life, and urging those unsure to "roll the bones," a term used for dice.
"But the bottom line...is to take the chance, roll the bones, if it's a random universe and that's terrifying and it makes you neurotic and everything, never mind. you really have to take the chance or else nothing's going to happen."
- Neil Peart, "It's A Rap" interview, April 1992
The song is also notable for featuring a spoken two-part "rap" after the guitar solo. This rap is performed by bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee; his altered voice is achieved through a drastic lowering of pitch and adding various effects.
Roll the Bones is the fourteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1991. The album also won the 1992 Juno for best album cover design. Roll the Bones became Rush's first US Top 5 album since 1981's Moving Pictures peaking at #3 on The Billboard 200. The album went Double Platinum according to Atlantic Records although the RIAA has it listed at Platinum.
