Lady April Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 QUOTE (krlowe @ Feb 13 2010, 12:23 AM) FROM RIAB Well, obviously no Rush tonight. Notice how the show was themed around the different provinces of Canada moving from east to west? Also notice how Ontario and the Great Lakes region were skipped over? What I'm now hearing is that this portion of the show was scrubbed due to nature of today's tragic events. Apparently it had a full rock and roll metropolitan vibe to it and was cut for sensitivity. The word is now that Rush may tentatively play at the closing ceremony. Sorry everybody - I'm as pissed off as you are. I am not pissed. I was apparently meant to watch Brian Adams fu*k up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand the change in that a person lost his life and playing rock music might have been a bit insensitive. Let's hope for the closing ceremonies there's time to set it up.

Rolinda Bonz Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 QUOTE (Mara @ Feb 12 2010, 10:21 PM)QUOTE (Rolinda Bonz @ Feb 13 2010, 01:15 AM) as disappointed as i am not to see Rush tonight, i'm glad they didn't lip synch. THAT would have broken my heart. That was nearly 5 hours of my life I am not getting back. But even more than being worried they'd synch it, I was terrified we would have Rush playing along with some dumbass interpretive dance going on. Thank god that didn't happen. Who besides me got a PM from FOH Lights? i was kinda hopin TO see that. it might have been even better than the YYZ footage from Rio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirley Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Rush are probably laughing at us all (if they actually waste their time in here lol) We all got het up about this. Shit, just shows how f***ing obsessed I am. Damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet his team didn't want this, his country didn't want this, the world didn't want this, Rush fans didn't want to miss their band for that, in the end it pleases nobody that he died.

circumstantial tree Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Rush would be better suited to playing the closing ceremonies. Those have a looser feel to them. K.D.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Some dude looks like Peter Pan flying around over a CGI floor system. This could be one of the worst Opening Ceremonies I have ever seen. Actually, I am turning off the boob tube and the Rush Forum now. It's been fun. Goodnight! If Donald Trump was in charge of the Vancouver Olympics, he would say to all of the Canucks across this great land who created this Ceremony: "YOU'RE FIRED!" GO TEAM USA!

quickfree Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 They should play Afterimage instead to protest the change. I mean that seriously. Probably won't happen given the nature of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 After awhile it started to seem like Rush would be out of place with the nature of the program. Still, it was VERY cool, and we can always hope for the closing ceremony. It did feature one of my fave Canadian songs of all time though, which is KD Lang's rendition of Hallelulah.

senor_velasco Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 QUOTE (fred @ Feb 12 2010, 11:59 PM) Maybe it was for the best that they weren't in, it'd be like the black sheep of rush performances, being included in this opening farce. ...On the other hand... it would have turned out epic if they were there. >_> Quoted for truth.... and this one too: QUOTE It was worth watching if you enjoy mocking pop culture as I like to... It was cool just for the heck of it.... we got 33 pages of pure hilarity and prog snobbism, and I'm sure more than a few of us were listening to Rush while watching this - quote/unquote - opening farce with the audio on mute... ok, back to lurk mode now.. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did watch, but wasn't really paying that much attention during this part - but I read the above - was shocked and had to look it up on youtube - I thought it was a teenage boy singing that song - I thought it wasn't bad, but had no idea it was her.
