deamhain Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Guys, I've just discovered this site and 'signed up' tonight so thought I'd tell you a bit about me. I was 38 last month (starting to feel old!) and 3 Canadians who have never heard of me have been an ever present feature of my life since about 1979 when a school friend gave me a loan of 2112. My general musical tastes in that time have encompassed everything from classical, through Jazz, Soul, Blues, Metal and Punk (and I mean original 70's punk by the way) but at any time, If you'd asked for my 'Desert Island Disc' nominations they'd mostly have been Rush. In short, I've grown up with Rush and last years 30th anniversary gig in Glasgow was as close to a religious pilgrimage as I'm ever likely to make! As I've got thinner on top and thicker around the waistband so has Alex while Neil and Geddy have managed the thinning but not the widening. As to what I prefer, I must admit that that period in the 80's which saw a huge increase in synth use and a corresponding lessening in Alex's driving input left me a bit nonplussed and I'm pleased that a return to guitar driven rock seems to be evident in the last while. Track-wise there's too many to mention and would cover from "What you're doing" through to the latest, although the philosopher in me loves Roll the bones. Anyway, sorry for the ramble, it's good to see a site like this and I'm off to read what others have been posting. It just makes me stronger.

Chasartymac Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Hiya Bob, I'm nearly 40 now and I think 2112 was my intro to Rush as well. Saw 'em at Wembley and B'ham this time around. Anyway, good to see more Brits on board here at TRF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
