TrampledUnderFoot Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Well, im just wondering what everyones feelings are about Rush. I personally really like them, though they are not my favorites. Also, they're Canadian which kicks a** :: Does anyone else agree that Neil Peart is a top 5 drummer, if not top 3? im interested to see what everyone thinks of them...

jman14141414 Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I have a couple albums by them, not too crazy about them, if they got a different singer then I may like them a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrampledUnderFoot Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 hmm i agree with jman about geddy lee ( who i think is the singer)he doesnt have a very good voice...he kinda sounds like a girl at some points...they would be much better without his vocals...but overall i think they make great music.

Jenny Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 My feeling about them is....eh. The vocals sound screechy at times, but they're ok. I have heard enough of their music to know it's not up my alley, but hey, to each his own. There are a lot of people on the boards who are fans, though, so I'm sure they'll be along soon.

windy1 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Ick. And theat's entirely because of Geddy Lee. Their music is ok. But when the voice starts..ick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppurr Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I love Rush My favorite album by Rush is Moving Pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrampledUnderFoot Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Whoa, I'm surprised this many people don't like them...alot of my friends love 'em...I agree with the vocals though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMikeRS Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I love em, the bass, guitar and drumming is amazing and I for one enjoy the vocals. I even met them and they're some of the absolute nicest people I've ever met in person too. They gave me an autographed picture of the band, Niel's signed and used drumsticks, Alex's pick, Geddy's pick since he started using one, 2 shirts, a keychain, flashing body pin, post card, poster and VIP front row seat tickets, upgrading from my last row ones. This was a reply to a note my mother was able to get backstage about a tragedy I had gone through in May 2004. I also have all of Rush's albums and Geddy Lee's solo album My Favorite Headache, I love every song on each one, making them my all time favorite. Geddy is my major bass influence as well.

XXX Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 They're one of my favourites. Rush was one of the first bands I went to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 To be honest, I can't say I'm a Rush fan. I really like their hit songs like Fly By Night and Freewill and such, but I've only hear the hits. I don't even own a single Rush album. If I had more money, I really would go out and buy one.

CanAm Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I must say that I'm in the "not a big Rush fan" camp. I agree with those who hate Geddy Lee's vocals. A friend of mine is a huge Rush fan, and I accompanied him to a Rush concert in Toronto many years ago. Although I'm not fond of their music, they did put on a great live show. The drummer, is very, very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 "And echoes with the sounds of salesmen... of SAAAAAYLESSSMEN!" Permanent Waves makes me feel great It was make-out music when I was 16 or 17 - that's how good it feels :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidelityfiend Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Wow - for all of the knowledgable music people we have in here I can't believe there are no big Rush fans other than myself. They were / are one of the most talented groups ever to grace the scene. They are all top notch musicians and have lyrics that go way beyond the usual "do me baby" tripe that most rock bands play. I would rank them right up there with Zep, Who, Floyd etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Wow - for all of the knowledgable music people we have in here I can't believe there are no big Rush fans other than myself... Uh... I used to use Permanent Waves as make-out music back in HS. I guess that doesn't go for much these days I'd prolly have to get married to the music too... I mainly like everything from 1980 on up. I'm missing one or two from the 70s period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
