Denmark Street Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I know there are a few Rush fans who are regulars here, so I thought this might interest them. Went to see your boys at Wembley Arena last night. First, I have to say that I am certainly not a fan of theirs, In fact, the only song I know is 'Spirit of Radio' ( I think its called) that was a hit many years ago, and I never liked that much. But a work acquaintance had a spare ticket, offered it to me, and as I wasn't doing anything else...you know the rest. And I have to admit I was impressed. Still not really my scene, but they put on a damn good show and I can see why they are still popular after all these years. But the lead singer's voice....ouch!.

Mike Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 ...ha-ha You know DS if I had a nickel for every time I heard "Geddy's voice sounds like a broken kazzoo" I'd be buying Bill Gates a theme park for his birthday! But it's like Bob Dylan, many people wonder why he started singing, did he not know how to paint fences? It's an acquired thing I guess (that or all us Rush fans are friggin' tone deaf).. I dunno. But it's just the way it is. In my humble opinion though, his voice early on was a little grating, he seemed to mellow out after the first couple albums and it's gotten better ever since. (IMHO) Though the show is awesome, a little humour, a lot of music and they have a great relationship that shows brightly in their performance!

Danielj Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Well personally I like his voice on their new album-Feedback. Still high but not quite as squeaky. Like he tightened up the screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiggsUK Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Eeh, it takes me back. I saw Rush at Wembley Arena back in 1979 I think it was, during their 'Moving Pictures' tour. As teenagers three of us cycled 10 miles to Ipswich (I lived down there at the time), got a train to London, saw the show, got the 'milk' train back again and rode back the 10 miles in the dark without lights wearing our tour tee-shirts like the rock gods we were! Funnily enough both the lads got in contact through Friends Reunited recently. One sells insurance and the other drives a truck. Both remembered the concert. Good times!
