I thought it would be a interesting topic. Name some famous people who are Rush fans and give a description of how you found out they where Rush fans.

 

I'll start off with a few.

 

Tim Mcgraw

 

Here is a clip from an interview on Larry King.

 

KING: So you like groups like...

 

MCGRAW: The Eagles -- big Eagles fan. I love Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, of course. I love Phil Collins, which I guess is a little more '80s but I love those guys in Genesis. Rush. Big Rush fan. Alabama, of course, one of my all-time favorites.

 

 

Warren Cromartie who played for the Montreal Expos was also a drummer and use to jam with Rush.

 

 

Artie Lange from the Howard Stern show is a big Rush fan and often brings them up on the show and also mentions Rush in his Stand-up DVD.

 

 

I know of more but I'll let the rest of you name some.

 

 

This should be interesting.

 

Thank you

The three members of the band Manic Street Preachers;

 

James Dean Bradfield

Nicky Wire

Sean Moore

 

A friend told me about it. He was reading an interview with them in a guitar magazine and they started talking about how much they loved Rush etc.

 

M.S.P. are a great band by the way if you haven't heard them, check out what they did to the M*A*S*H theme tune below;

Hayley Williams of Paramore digs 'em.

Are you sure its her and not members of her band???

Some dude posted a topic here awhile back with an interview of her talking about liking Snakes and Arrows... I'll try and find it.

 

She's really the only cool member of the band anyway.

Randy Johnson, ( acclaimed Baseball Pitcher )

 

He once was on the local radio morning program & was asked what groups he like's, he mentioned Rush & that he knew Geddy, the DJ's doubted this & right then Randy called Geddy & asked him how the new Record was going ! ! ( Vapor Trails) They talked for about 5 minutes on the Air, was Very Cool.

Mick Pointer, Marillion's drummer. biggrin.gif

Ohh I didn't know anything about that!

 

Do you know why he was fired? He seemed pretty cool to me. I prefer Ian Mosley but never understood why they booted Pointer.

Because he was a shite drummer and a pisshead.

Can't say I'd agree with that, he dominated Garden Party and Forgotten Sons.
