JohnnyBlaze Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 This’ll take some thought but there’s a good chance that nothing from the 90s or 21st century makes the cut. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even One Little Victory or some video Beavis And Butthead mocked? Kicking out Bastille Day, 2112, or the like to make setlist space for OLV doesn’t make much sense to me, especially when the latter clearly isn’t as metal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" by Metallica, which includes a tribute to "Tom Sawyer" at 4:06 - 4:21 marks and at 4:43 mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peENJe_ORdI Rush is also thanked in the albums' credits. This can be a bonus to the list in a way. Edited December 17, 2020 by RushFanForever 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 If RUSH played their heaviest, most metallic 20 song set in a special headbanging show, what songs would it consist of? Do you count 2112 as one song? Hemispheres? If so, that’s two songs on my list :blaze: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you count 2112 as one song? Hemispheres? If so, that’s two songs on my list :blaze:It's up to whoever it is, some people like to split them up and some people like to count them as one song no matter what. With it being a hypothetical concert it doesn't matter that those two songs add up to 40 minutes, they still count as two songs in the 20. Rush proved they could play three hours anyway. We'll assume that RUSH are at their peak of playing ability whenever that was, but all albums are available for the purposes of the thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
