Am I the only one who can't stand Rush? I know it's become a pop culture trend to show your love for Rush (and bacon) and that's cool, but it makes me feel like a Jewish kid on Christmas day. I don't get it.
Rush... The Greatest Band Ever???

Neil Pert. . .Nuff Said right there. The prototypical godly drummer! :bowdown::bowdown:
And possibly ambiguous sarcasm.
Me: Hey man, you like my new haircut?
Canadian: Oh yeah. Great haircut.
Me: Thanks, man.
Canadian: Sure. No problem there, buddy.
And of course, I spend the next week wearing a hat. Fucking Canadians!
Hey, that dude from Limp Bizkit is a great guitarist. Buckethead's a fucking virtuoso. Doesn't mean the bands are good.
And no, I'm NOT comparing Rush to Limp Bizkit or GNR pt.2. I see tremendous talent in Rush, but I just can't imagine sitting at home and playing a Rush album.

Yea, wasn't that something? It's hard to imagine 'just' losing one or the other, but both? I feel like I'm getting faint and nauseated in recollection of it, what a monumental loss to have to suffer.
Did you read Neil's book Ghost Rider? For those not in the know, Neil's way of finding peace and solitude after suffering from the loss of his family was to pack some bags, load up his BMW motorcycle and just ride and ride and ride, where exactly he would end up, only Neil knew, and I don't think he even knew.
Neil's extended family and friends were probably thinking that they were going to lose him somewhere along the course of his solitary two wheel escapade. Thankfully, it wasn't to be .

I sort of got hooked beginning with Permanent Waves and like I type previously, fell out after Roll TB. They've turned out a hell of a lot of music since Roll, I wouldn't even know quite where to start to be honest, but I'll take your advice should I find myself delving into music again on any extended capacity . . . what the hell, I might as well reexamine the big trio with all of the shit that passes for music out there these days, in the meantime, I'll just savor my memories. :hatsoff:
Was that song prophetic or what? :bowdown:
Note: At approx. 5:00, I love the creativity of the ''guitar saw'' and the ''percussion hatchet'' . . . chop chop chop chop

They make me "Rush" to change the radio station when they come on.
I don't think they are the greatest band ever but they definitely are one of the best canadian bands ever if not THE best. I have seen them twice in concert and it was great. 2112 is one of my favorite albums ever and I love how Neil Peart plays the drums , he's one of the best.
Where and when was that?
No,they are boring as hell.
Bands like Rush makes me very sleepy.
Sleepy???
Well, if songs like The Spirit of Radio, Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, Subdivisions, The Big Money, Driven, etc... put you to sleep you may want to stay away from Pink Floyd and also consult a Doctor ; )
Rush has some slow songs... even some bombs if you ask me! Rivendel, Tears, and a couple more here and there are actually pretty bad! But nothing is perfect and I am sure there are people who enjoy them!

It's acid rock, c'mon, it had to be mellow to be compatable with the drug(s) of choice at the time, just ask mum about it. :1orglaugh
Do the mad scientists even make LSD anymore? Oh, they do? Well, take a hit or two of purple micro•dot and put on some Napalm death and see if you aren't terrified out of your wits! :eek:
. . Not a very euphoric feeling, Petey! :tongue:
Don't get me wrong... I heart Pink Floyd too... But if this guy is saying Rush is boring he might die listening to Comfortably Numb (which is one of the greatest songs ever made FYI!)!
I was just looking out for his health!

I actually (unwillingly) listened to Dark Side of The Moon while on acid. Nothing.
Guess I am one of the people who thinks Rush is go to sleep music,just never appealed to me as having any sort of "edge" to it.Yeah you could say the same about Floyd in some cases but as facetious says it was "acid rock" and sounded a lot different when on LSD.
Punk rock of the 70s was a reaction to such "sleepy" bands and music.Some people (myself included) wanted rock to get back to being somewhat more kick ass and of higher energy then what the corporate rock of the times was providing.
PS: To Pete Rose,If you ever do acid again get one of the pre "Dark side of the moon" records(Floyds 1st really commercial album).Songs like "Astronomy Domini" are just awesome on acid.
