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. |
|
The Spirit of Radio.....one of there best........................ |
|
|
Yep, I was just listening to Signals in the truck today. My kids like it, they said Dad, play that space shuttle song again. hehe
|
|
Gives me the chills everytime I hear it. |
|
|
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 Screw all that rap all the kids are listening to today. I'm old school rock. Infact I got Lynard skynard tickets for the RODEO next friday! BTW i also love 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, |
|
That marked the end of their usefulness for me. |

Went to every concert from Moving Pictures to Counterparts...
I like the old stuff, I like most of the new stuff. '...and the trees were all kept equal, by hatchet, axe, and saw....' |

"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?
|
|
I saw the 2112 concert back in the seventies. Yes, I like their music. |

You are a sad, strange little man. You have my pitty. |

No his mind is not for rent.
To any god or government. I like Countdown too. |

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

"Working Man". Favorite, best, no equal, hands down, end of story.
|
|
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. |
|
How do you like this DVD. I've been thinkin' about buyin' it. |
|
|
A previous thread went into Rush and their Ayn Rand influences - because of that I now have Atlas Shrugged sitting on my shelf. Now I just need to put some time aside to read it

"RED SECTOR A"
Words by Neil Peart, Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson All that we can do is just survive All that we can do to help ourselves Is stay alive... Ragged lines of ragged grey Skeletons, they shuffle away Shouting guards and smoking guns Will cut down the unlucky ones I clutch the wire fence Until my fingers bleed A wound that will not heal --- A heart that cannot feel --- Hoping that the horror will recede Hoping that tomorrow --- We'll all be freed Sickness to insanity Prayer to profanity Days and weeks and months go by Don't feel the hunger --- too weak to cry I hear the sound of gunfire At the prison gate Are the liberators here --- Do I hope or do I fear? For my father and my brother --- it's too late But I must help my mother Stand up straight... Are we the last ones left alive? Are we the only human beings To survive?... -Troy |

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.
|
|
+1 I used to listen to them 27 years ago. Are they still alive? Great band, but all of those intergalactic lyrics started to bore the xanadu out of me. |
|
|
Working Man, Lakeshore Drive, Fly By Night...........wow. where'd I put that bong?
|
|
"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. |
|
Arguably their best song, period. |
|
|
I have, and still listen to their original album Rush - Rush regurarly.
Working man, In the Mood, It rocks!!!! |
|
I would, but it ain't legal and ar15.com isn't a warez or mp3 trading site. |
|
|
I have every CD from them.
Listen to them all the time. Seen them twice in concert. Once was by myself. But I had row 5 seat 7. It was the Roll your Bones tour. |
