2112........keeps me sane

Hell yes, back in the day.

The only time I saw them was in 1980, but it was front row seats so it was great.

Three of the best rock musicians of all time.

when the majic of Tom Sawyer, Limelight, and Red Barchetta wears off...listen to 'Camera Eye.' It's (arguably) the best song on Moving Pictures.

Oh Hell yes!  Best rock band ever.  

I got to see them in 1992.  Front row in Nurnburg FRG.  What a show.

Manhattan project is one of my favorites.

Mega Ditto Rush,

20 year old punk here

An old fart that still digs Rush.

Another old Fart here and still into Rush Bigtime... They been going strong for 30 + years ... Hate to date myself but I think I was a Freshman in high school when Fly by Night came out (1974???)...  Seen them twice back in the day. God only knows when that was , it's all a blur now.... 2112 is a great tune to run too.... It can really fire me up! I just had to fire up some Rush on the MP3 player.  What better things to do at 4am..  My 17 years old boy is really into Rush.  He's got gun powder in this veins too.. He's such a good boy! Does his father proud!

It would be sweet to see someone lay some great machine gun video on top of 2112 audio!!!

I still listen to them, but my interest dropped off after counterparts.
My favorite stuff is all pre Presto.

I do like some of their later stuff, but early Rush is just awesome music,

"Yes children it's true: a long time ago, back before they played rap music and the VJ's didn't look like street thugs, MTV actually played Rush..." I remember they had a video for Vital Signs. Never saw any others played, were there?

Funny way to title this thread:  Before I got into the Clash and Ramones - Rush was one of my favorite bands - they came probably right after Cheap Trick.

Big fan of the band.  Caress of Steel is my fav, though it's hard to not include Moving Pictures in that satement.  Funny thing about Camera eye, I was in a band a couple of years back and we played Camera Eye in a bar.  We absolutely nailed it!  Not a soul knew what just happened they all just sat there kind of stunned.  The sound man that was on that night was a rush fan I though he was going to have a freakin heart attack.  Never played it again.  Playing Rush seems to be a hit or miss prospect when playing out.  Just my opinion. YMMV

I get home at five o'clock,
And I take myself out a nice, cold beer.
Always seem to be wonderin'
Why there's nothin' goin' down here.

Well they call me the working man.
I guess that's what I am.


I have been into rush for years.

Read the Fountainhead. Atlas Shrugged is a 1000 page set up for a 40 page speech. It's a damn good speech, but still.

Been listening to them for about 25 years. Skilled musicians, and they have been my favorite band for a long time.

You have to get Rush in Rio just to watch those Brazilians freaking out to YYZ.  The rest is awesome, but that one moment just blew me away.

"and the meek shall inherit the earth......" da da-dada da da-dada da da-dada da da daaaa...

saw them live in fayetteville NC for the Hemispheres tour - "trouble with the maples and they're quite convinced they're right"........

that was probably the only concert there that i saw the adudience actually paying attention to the stage en mass.
they did their Hemispheres tunes and did the entire 2112 set - absolutely awesome.
