Rush

That's right, the trio of Canadian Jews who've influenced such bands as Primus, Dream Theater, and The Smashing Pumpkins. Some of the most skilled players of their instruments, especially Drummer/Lyricist Neil Peart.

Since we don't have an active Rush thread, I felt the need to make one.

So, favorite albums and/or song?

Moving Pictures is definitely my favorite album by Rush, with Limelight being my favorite song. Not surprising, I know, but that song and album are what introduced me to Rush, so what can I say?

Re: Rush

I like their music, but don't love it enough to listen to it on a regular basis. Despite various predispositions to maybe doing so.

I've met them a couple times, though, and they are all nice guys. Especially Alex and Neil. Neil is probably one of the most interesting people around, though not too chatty.

They also put on a really great concert, I saw them perform last year.

Re: Rush

I've heard Geddy Lee's voice is losing it's touch nowadays. That hold any truth at all?

Also, where did you meet them?



And Peart's drum solo during Rush in Rio was amazing.

Obviously it isn't identical to what it used to be, but it has held up. Its a bit lower, but that is what happens when you get older. And smoke.

My dad was a part of their road crew for a number of years back in the day, from when they were still pretty small to when they were superstars in Europe. So he's still in contact with a lot of their crew and as well as the band to varying degrees. It's not like we have them over for Sunday brunch once a month, but I've met them a few times just because we happened to be at the same places. I haven't sat and had a conversation with any of them, but I've said hey and if I just saw them on the street or backstage or whatever and reminded them who I was they'd know.

You can't expect a man's voice to sound like that forever y'know.

Re: Rush

I do enjoy Rush's material. I'm not a HUGE fan of them, but I have most of their albums and listen to them regularly. I must say, I think that John Rutsey was a better drummer for Rush, though.

Re: Rush

I have the most random rush albums. I buy them at a used record store, so I have their s/t, test for echo, and exit stage left. Great band. favorite song would have to be YYZ. Me and my drummer buddy always work the riffs into our jams.

If you love Rush so much you would know it's spelled Geddy, not Getty. :<

Re: Rush

Rush is great, my Dad loves them, I bought him Snakes and Arrows for Father's Day and our whole basement ends up shaking whenever it's put on. I'm a "greatest hits" kinda guy, so I love Chronicles and R30.
