When I rock out to Rush, I break my hip tragically.

Guilty as charged. First concert I ever went to was Rush (for Signals), back in 82 or 83. 7th grade. My dad drove me and some of my buddies. We sat in the nosebleed section. Everyone around us was sparking up, and we all went home stinking like dope. Good times.

Hey, not all of us are old. Some of us Rush fans are of the 80's.

/Happy Birthday Geddy

"I'm not the one who was an old time punk rocker
I was listening to Rush and trying to feather my hair back
When all that stuff went down"


-Nerf Herder

Hey, I resemble that remark...

55 BELLS!!!

Geddy Lee turns 55 today and you Rush fans are OOOOLLLLD CANAAAADIAAN. Rock out to this bass solo from Driven, but be careful not to break a hip play hockey

FTFY

It's HIP to like Rush. :) (my buds)

Submitter: Geddy Lee turns 55 today and you Rush fans are OOOOLLLLD.

I'm 29. I don't think I'm that old...

Rush should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

that was a bass solo? I think I saw that in a Mel bay's Bass for Beginners book. I think this might be a bass solo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veLGBk1mE5U

Turns out i was wrong... that Billy Sheehan clip was retarded as well

/goes back to Victor Wooten
// enjoys his first slashes

Happy B-day. I love older Rush. Anything after moving pictures is not on my playlist.

I put the hip in hip replacement, muthafarka.

/happy b-day, Geddy

First, Happy Birthday!

Second, even though there are maybe 7 Rush songs I like, I have seen Rush in concert twice.

Mr. Lee is a talented and skillful bassist.

I just saw Rush last week on their Snakes and Arrows tour. One of the best shows i've ever seen.

/i'm 23, does that make me old?

degreeless: Happy B-day. I love older Rush. Anything after moving pictures is not on my playlist.

If you haven't heard Snakes and Arrows you are missing out my good sir, if you don't believe me go to youtube and listen to "armor and sword"

Were you sitting next to me?

/Signals my first concert, too.
//Surprised when only three guys came out on stage.

where's all the haters?

this is disappointing.

Dagnabit. I thought I'd be the first in this thread to say
"...of SALESMEN!"

DslainteC: When I rock out to Rush, I break my hip tragically.

What you did there.......I see it.

Woo-hoo! Happy Birthday Geddy!!!
I went to see Rush just last week for MY birthday! Amazing, awesome, biatchin', cool, fabulous, fantastic, incredible...wonderful.

Rush could have been a really great band. But then Geddy Lee starts singing and it just wrecks everything.

Rush fan here.

/24

"Deep within the womb of time, a creature thus be born.
The seed of life is united with the egg of tyranny
Gestates forth from within the womb of life for three-quarter and nigh a year,

The creature thus be formed!
The creature thus be born!

And ye of years fifty-five bells will chime!
When the heavens open up and drink from the silver cup,
The creature thus be born!
And blow the magic horn!

To alert the spirit deep within the cycle of life.

The creature has begun it's journey deep forlorn
Upon this day which he be formed,
In the sea of mucus the spirit rides down from the mountain and unites with the creature in the womb,
A holy union, dark mortality, until the dark mortality breaks the chain of life ...

The creature thus be born!

And every year raineth down the celebratory tears,
A celebration of the years from mere mortal sky ..."

/Happy Birthday, Geddy

i'm only 31, i'm not THAT old.

/saw them live not quite 2 weeks ago.
//they still rock.

First Rush concert for me was Moving Pictures Tour.

Would have been cool to see the stage setup guys wearing red coveralls...

I would just like to say that Rush is the worst band in the history of music. The lead singer can't "sing" and the drummer is nothing more than a souless Joe Satriani clone with a drum kit.

All Canadian music sucks.

And there's not a single popular Canadian musician that can sing.

Valdes: And there's not a single popular Canadian musician that can sing.

Joni Mitchell stubs out her cigarette in your eye

First thing that came to mind (pops)

Sound quality of the song itself sucks, but it's worth just seeing the intro if you haven't.

Happy birthday Geddy

Valdes: And there's not a single popular Canadian musician that can sing.

Bruce Cockburn would like to launch his rocket at you.

/that is *IF* he had one

I saw RUSH play on the Roll The Bones tour. Primus opened for them. Primus Sucked, as usual. But, really, they had a rough crowd. Some fans were yelling Primus sucks, and then some non-fans thought they were really saying "Primus Sucks!", so some of the people there didn't get it all. I think this was right before "Tommy the Cat" hit the airwaves.

Anyway, RUSH is a great band. And yeah, Geddy has one of those voice you either like or don't. Lot's of people hate Kurt Cobain's voice or Peter Cetera's, too. And I really, really, can't stand Billy Joel. And OMFG I LOATHE Celine Dion and Cher, too.

Geddy's voice hasn't aged that well, for one thing. But, back in the day, he could hit the high notes real good.

He gets bonus "No Thanks" points for looking like a girl in the "Time Stands Still" video, you know, the one with Amie Mann in it, and they're all flying around in the air looking like uberdorks.

But, say what u want about that band, and his voice, but Geddy is DAMN farkING GOOD bass player, if you like rock, progressive, etc.

Were you sitting next to me?

Maybe, if you were in Detroit.

/ can't recall if it was at Cobo or the Joe.

Happy Birthday, Geddy! From a fellow Canuckistanian


/apologetically hotlinked without a real sense of identity

Hey Ged,

please turn that neck pickup up little will ya.

Bass ain't supposed to sound like a banjo.

Me:

WhyteRaven74: The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive would like a word with you.

Me:
If that's all you can come up with, well... that's pathetic.


If the UK wanted to have a pissing contest over better bands, they might win. Canada even coming up with a 1/2 decent band is impossible.

Hey, I'm not that old. I won't be 55 for two more years!

/my first Rush concert, they were opening for BOC
//my second Rush concert, they were opening for Aerosmith
///the next five, headliners of course

Actually, I'd listen to Geddy Lee before any of the soundalike posers currently popular.

Different is good.

craigdamage: Hey Ged,

please turn that neck pickup up little will ya.

haha... unknown farker has suggestions for Geddy Lee's bass tone. ha. ha. ha.

A quick question here. Shouldn't the Elder Race have our planet by now to learn and grow so they can return in 2112? Because they only have about 100 years to leave and then get smart and then come back and show everyone how to play guitar.

/Bah!

Geddy and I are the same age(almost; I'll be 56 in October), and I'd give my eye teeth to have half of his energy and a quarter of his talent.

There's a little three-piece ensemble called Triumph that would vehemently argue with that last point.
