hoosiers?
Did Rush adopt Indiana as their new home state?

 
strangeguitar 2008-09-19 06:09:10 PM  
I enjoyed the last tour. They did "Natural Science" which is one of my favorite tunes and I'd never heard it live before.

A good Rush troll? +1 from here anytime.

The damage Neal Peart has done to thousands of otherwise-potentially good bands cannot be overstated. fark you, Rush. You're music's Hitler.

fta RUSH will receive a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame next year.
...for what?

 
Faux Shizzle 2008-09-19 08:24:51 PM  
Yep, that is one pretentious road sign, all right.

I blame Rush for ruining prog-rock.

Geddy: "Hey guys. Wait till you hear this cool record I just bought."
Alex: "The Yes Album? Who's Yes?"
Geddy: "They're from England."
Alex: "You know, you're right, this is kinda cool. But also kinda pretentious, and occasionally boring."
Neil: "Know what that means? We can probably get away with being really, REALLY pretentious, and constantly boring!"
Geddy: "No way."
Neil: "Yes way!"


etc. etc.

I blame Rush for not producing a decent album since Signals.

I'm surprised subby put his Nickelback and Jonahs Brothers CD's down long enough to type that.

 
The Glass Dragon 2008-09-19 09:26:46 PM  
Snakes and ARROWS, subby.

I bet all you haters have all of Pete "The Twunt" Daugherty's albums and LOVE his shiat.

That drummer makes my head asplode.

Okay, it sucks.

/Huge Rush fan

 
Xythero 2008-09-20 12:59:05 AM  
That free will song makes my heart want throw up out my ears.

 
Galaxy of Prawns 2008-09-20 12:59:50 AM  
Oh, come on. Rush is probably the second least pretentious of the classic prog bands, next to Jethro Tull.

 
The Amazing Mumford 2008-09-20 01:21:45 AM  
"Snakes and Ladders"? Is there a joke I'm missing or is that a typo? Or is that what they're calling the DVD?

/in before shipofthesun goes off about how Neil couldn't hold Charlie Watts' snare drum.

 
mandingueiro 2008-09-20 01:40:05 AM  
honestly, i just hate rush....any band that has a whiny singer in it--i'm lookin at you corgan.

 
Tailhook Bug 2008-09-20 01:58:56 AM  
filmed in ....good ol' ....Rotterdam(?)
Wow! They played way over there? It must be good then - how do I buy this?

 
tailormadebassist 2008-09-20 02:01:41 AM  
Being a bassist....yeah, I love me some Rush. Took a little to get past the voice, but the music is wonderful.

Snakes and Arrows is a wonderful album. Must listen. Wish I could've gone to see them in Dallas when I had the chance.

 
GalleyWench 2008-09-20 03:36:13 AM  
I think overall, Geddy Lee is my favorite bassist. Swoon... (new window)

 
mahavishnunj 2008-09-20 04:23:47 AM  
they obviously suck beyond belief, but they ruled in the day and they are still doing it. hard to argue with that.

 
Derwood 2008-09-20 09:04:00 AM  
I love the logical and rational conclusion of "If you don't like Rush, you must like "

 
Derwood 2008-09-20 09:04:46 AM  
Let me try again...

I love the logical and rational conclusion of "If you don't like Rush, you must like **insert worst band ever here**"

 
tallasse 2008-09-20 01:16:29 PM  
Derwood

I love the logical and rational conclusion of "If you don't like Rush, you must like **insert worst band ever here**"

It's on the same level as the "I don't like Rush, therefore I will type RUSH SUCKS on the internet and this will make me right" conclusion.

 
Mini Ditka 2008-09-20 02:01:48 PM  
Rush was great. Lost total interest after Signals. Every song sounds the same to me now; boring and uninspired.

/Hemispheres is still great

Uh... what?

 
monsieurstabby [TotalFark] 2008-09-20 06:33:23 PM  
Signals is my favorite album. Didn't much like 2112, but do like Moving Pictures. Those are the only ones I've heard.

 
YoTengoId 2008-09-20 07:42:19 PM  
good god does rush blow.

it hurts me that anyone could relate to that boring, pretentious shiat. it's like you guys got close to discovering good music, and decided against it. it has some of the trappings of decent music, but manages to snatch fail from the maw of win.

in closing, i think i can see two mosquitos farking. that's a new one of me.

 
Ignorant McNugget 2008-09-20 09:15:17 PM  
Galaxy of Prawns: Oh, come on. Rush is probably the second least pretentious of the classic prog bands, next to Jethro Tull.

I guess it's a question of personal taste but any band with Ayn Rand-inspired lyrics hits the red line on my Pretentiometer.

 
kregh99 2008-09-21 08:02:41 AM  
Yeah, Rush has only been around and been wildly successful for several decades. They can't possibly be any good.

 
chem42 2008-09-21 01:48:24 PM  
I'll be buying a copy. I saw them in St Louis this summer and it was the best live performance I've ever seen. I got trashed on $9 beers.

 
FuDude 2008-09-21 03:06:17 PM  
kregh99: Yeah, Rush has only been around and been wildly successful for several decades. They can't possibly be any good.

Longevity? Yes. Wildly successful? Um...no. While 40-somethings with too much money and time on their hands might still flock to see these boring geezers play their local arena, Rush hasn't made an album with any type of artistic or commercial relevance since "Signals".

Unimpressed.
