Of *course* every douche bag that won was praying that it would turn out to be Bon Jovi or Gun 'n Roses so I heard that the crowd reaction to finding out the band was RUSH was somewhat poor. Hmmm... That sucks that the crowd was blah. There are a number of body parts that I'd find superfluous if they'd have gotten me into that gig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddysMullet Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 QUOTE (Yes to Yes... @ Jul 17 2008, 12:40 AM) Hi Everyone! I'm a brand new RUSH fan (since seeing them May 6th 2008, Nokia Center in L.A.) and I can't believe I've been missing out on them for so long! They didn't do anything other than put on a completely awesome show, and now I'm in the process of catching up on 34 years of sheer brilliance. My husband has been a fan forever, and now that I'm taking over his RUSH cds, he calls me a "biter". Let the battle begin! The simple truth of why I like them so much is that they are talented musicians whose craft stands on its own two feet. No "brought to you by Coca-Cola..." or phoniness of any kind. The lyrics, melodies and emotion in all their music are truth and beauty in its purest form. I now understand them like I never did before - all after that one show. They did it - it's all their fault. I am in love with the group because of everything they are about, which is more than lots of people can say about their favorite respective bands. "Tears" is my favorite song; to me it's so bittersweet and profound. I like Geddy in particular because of how masterful and florid he is with his bass. I'll stop there Just saw the Colbert Report, and couldn't be happier to see them not only perform but do a quick interview. Great to find a site to jive with other "Rushians"... Hello and welcome, Yes To Yes! I became a fan in much the same way you did, on July 8 2007 at the PNC Bank Arts Centre. Aren't we lucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 For anyone interested, there's to be something featuring the boys again tonight. Quoted from RIAB: Rush will also be on tonight's show for a few seconds; not sure in what capacity as of yet, but I assume it'll be some taped clip that they'll incorporate into one of their comedy bits. Edited to add: obviously I did not read the entire thread. Sorry about posting what's already old news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fledgehog Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Jul 17 2008, 01:05 PM) That performance last night did tell us something -- that Rush has no problem scaling down their stage show and would be able to play small clubs. C'mon guys, let's see a club tour! I think it would be really cool to do some smaller-scale shows and have Neil scale down his drums. Of course, being an asshole gearhead of a drummer myself I can fully understand why he wants his entire kit with him I was just watching his solo from the buddy rich tribute thing on youtube earlier, and he can still f*ckin rock out, even on a 4-piece im still glad he had the whole thing on TCR though, allowed for multiple great jokes, and that beautiful camera pan shot of his kit.

Anyone know who the guy on the drumkit is? It so very obviously isn't the Professor. Edited to say: I should've said "the guy on the snare and cymbals." 'Drumkit' is a little overblown for that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
