rushgoober Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm actually Neil Peart, but by now that should be pretty obvious to everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 QUOTE (Tony R @ Apr 14 2011, 04:16 AM) I remember when Steven Wilson registered at Progarchives (in his own name!) he got pestered really badly. He left after 6 months because of some of the critical reviews of FoaBP that were posted to the site. That's the difference between the guys in Rush and someone like Wilson. Rush would never join an online community under their own name (or they wouldn't join at all), and they don't give a shit about what critics say about their music.

The only one of the three of them that I could actually picture joining would be Alex and he would probably just do it as a goof and start bashing Rush.

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Neil Peart is Cosy Toes and his many aliases. The comparisons are uncanny. Cranky & anti-social to name but two. It can be traced back to Neil's time in England in the early '70's and his encounters with drunken Rams supporters. He gets the Derby Telegraph posted to him EVERY day. He writes to the letters page infrequently under the pseudonym Fitzwilliam Darcy, especially if his dander is risen by stories of Derby's lead mining past.

Nim2 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I have seen this asked at other forums and the word was that in an interview, they had been asked something like this. One of them said thay had looked at some forums without saying which ones. If they look in, I am sure it is anonymously and just to get a kick out of the crazy stuff their fans say about them on the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

librarian Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I think it would be cool, but I would tend to think that they do not. I would post if I had a fan site, but I definitely would not post anything that would give myself away. Librarians don't have fans, anyway - It would all be a great mystery - ooooo.

presto123 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 It would be real cool if they browsed around here. But I cringe when I think of them browsing around Counterparts Forum. I would be embarrassed for them. If you are on here guys stay away from Counterparts:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even have an account there but I check in when I'm bored, look at the new threads, etc.. It's more mobile-friendly than TRF (Hint.. admins! Mobile-friendly TRF would be great!). But I'm too scared to actually join. o-o I can see Alex going on CP. And trollin'. And me laughin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil maybe not so much. LOL I know a lot of Rush fans that hate that site. I must not like it too much as I haven't posted there forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosy Toes Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I have it on good authority, that Neil used to be a member here on TRF. His user name was King Troll. As ever, unfortunately, he was much misunderstood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
