barney_rebel Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 Sorry - I was too young to remember back then... Can someone tell me the experience though? Like was COS a big followup or did it release less of a reaction than FBN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonraker Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Lol, I wasnt even born. I dunno what the experience was like either though, but im willing to say many here might not. They would have had to have been fans right from the get go and Rush really didnt become popular until 2112. There might be a few though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riv Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 FBN was released in February and COS in September. WHen COS came out it flopped pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrinx Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I absolutely remember going into Sam The Recordman in downtown Toronto, and being thrilled to see COS on the shelves. It was so soon after the release of FBN that it took me by surprise. But back then it was much more normal for bands to release a couple of records within a year.

My_Shrimp_Cot Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 It was a different time. Remember that Kiss released it's first album in '74 as well. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/listm...1893833-3386538 and all the young rockers were heavy into Kiss while the older ones (im talkin late teens) were usually into Zep or the doors or the Who. We didnt have the internet or VCR's and whatever got played on the radio sold albums. Kiss did a holloween show on TV and was huge after that. I didnt even hear of Rush untill AFTK. They really had to beat the door down with little airplay though and still are not mainstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the World's a Stage was Rush's first Top 40 album in the US and 2112 and ATWaS would not go Gold until A Farewell to Kings was released in September of 1977. AFtK was Rush's first Top 30 seller in the US thanks to Closer to the Heart being a huge rock radio hit and AFtK's success caused 2112 and ATWaS to go Gold simultaneously with AFtK. Moving Pictures was the album that forever immortalized Rush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving Pictures was the album that forever immortalized Rush! That's just how it happened in Dallas too. No one had heard of Rush until Closer to the Heart. Working Man got a bit of airplay, but lots of folks thought it was Led Zeppelin at first. Then suddenly they began playing 2112 and to me that's what immortalized them. Everyone I knew back then bought 2112 and it was definitely the Jam du Jour. Of course MP is the pinnacle of their success and an all time standout work, but I will always consider Hemispheres to be their magnum opus. So far anyway!

Cygnus27 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 QUOTE (floydfanatic111 @ Feb 2 2006, 01:06 AM) 2112 tanked too initially. On the charts perhaps, but it did out-sell the first 3 albums combined within a month of its release (according to Visions I believe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
