A thread about "Rush" the band

[geonagual]

For beachguy

My favorite album is

either 2112 or Permanent Waves

Seen them once live. Awesome show

[beachguy in thongs]

Lol. :smokin:

I take it that you like the 70's Rush. They played Natural Science, live, at the third show that I went to. Ironically, I skipped a final exam, for college, to see it and went with my best friend, who's always loved that song.

I failed the class. It was worth it. We had to travel down to Albany from Plattsburgh, NY, through the Adirondacks. We sat about 15 seats from the top, in the upper deck of the Knickerbocker Arena, now called the Pepsi Arena, or it might have changed again.

What city did you see them at?

[Az.]

I have never heard any of their music....
would love to check some out

I wil check out the above albums. :)

[mejames]

favorite album is moving pictures although some older albums are good what album is the song "working man" on ?

[Chiquita Banana]

yeah working man is an awesome song, rush is okay overall, darn canadians!

[beachguy in thongs]

It's on the first album, "Rush".

[UncleChunky]

2112 is great! I dloaded a few Neil Peart drum solos, they are always entertaining!! 'Exit stage left' is on of my fav live albums. I have to say tho that I dont care for their most recent stuff

[hempsmoker25]

i like rush, but im not a big fan

[NightProwler]

"time stands still" is a great song :thumbsup:

[IanCurtisWishlist]

subdivisions!! in the basement bars! in the backs of cars! BE COOL OR BE CAST OUT! *SUBDIVISIONS*

my bro has a rush dvd. it's got closer to the heart ( good song)... uh it's rush chronicles. rush was pretty fucking ridiculous, but i like them haha.

[beachguy in thongs]

As Neil Peart would say...

All of us get lost in the darkness,
dreamers learn to steer by the stars.
All of us do time in the gutter,
dreamers turn to look at the cars.
Turn around, turn around, turn around.

[Marlboroman]

I saw Rush in concert in the 90's, Primus opened, awesome show.

[Dr HaZzMatT Esq.]

listen to "closer to the heart" or "freewill"

I will choose "Freewill"

[beachguy in thongs]

"Ghost of a Chance", from the Roll The Bones album, of 1991, is an awesome song.


I don't believe in destiny,
Or, the guiding hands of fate.
I don't believe in forever,
Or Love as a mystical state.
I don't believe in the stars, or the planets,
Or angels watching from above.
But, I believe there's a ghost of a chance,
we can find someone to love...and make it last.

And then it rocks back in. Neil Peart is awesome on the drums during the chorus, through the transitions, and the song rocks. :smokin:

King Lerxst!

I saw that little short guy (the main character, at the beginning) in a video that they recently shot for Closer To The Heart at their studio, in Toronto.

[stinkyattic]

Gedde Lee has some PIPES!
Rush rocks.

[geonagual]

Ever heard the song

"I think I am going bald"

It is on Carress of Steel

Funny ass song

[beachguy in thongs]

Yeah, that song's gotta be on of their least musically-evolved songs, well, since Neil Peart.

[420Mikey420]

Get the 2112 album... NOW :thumbsup:

[jamstigator]

I saw Rush during the Moving Pictures tour, and they rocked the house. Max Webster was the intro band, and they were awesome too. That was the early 80s. Shortly after the Moving Pictures album, they went another direction musically, and I haven't liked a ton of what they've done since then. I mean, some of it's okay, but their early stuff was really great, groundbreaking.

2112 is pretty sweet. this 42 year old dude i used to live with said he saw them and they came out and geddy lee said something like "this is our album 2112" and they just played it straight through without stopping, as if you were listening to the CD. usually when you get two outstanding musicians together in the same band, good things happen. geddy lee is a madman and neil pert is one of one of the greatest drummers ever.
