Test4VitalSigns Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Was surfing around net and found these pics of early in their careers. I don't know where the pics were taken (I accidently closed site after saving pics and can't remember the name of site). One of the pics even had name of band as Hadrian (an alternate name had back in the day)... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/test4vitalsigns/earlyrush.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/test4vitalsigns/earlyrush2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/test4vitalsigns/hadrian.jpg my apologies if these were already posted. I've never seen these til now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbomb106 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Those pics were all in the first few pages of Visions. Nevertheless, they're a welcome contribution, especially to those who haven't read it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madra sneachta Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I never knew until Physics' Wikopedia link that Geddy's wife Nancy was Lindy Young's sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES-335 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 ok ... that first photo ... I have had discussions with folks before about that one ... is that Neil? or John? I say Neil, for one, I never saw any photos with John playing a double bass, also, he sits higher and taller on the throne than most photos of John and IMHO, the face looks more like Neil. From past experience, it seems that the verdict is split. What do yall think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think it's John cause I'm pretty sure Neil didn't play with the band in high school gyms (which it appears to be what they are performing in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think it's John cause I'm pretty sure Neil didn't play with the band in high school gyms (which it appears to be what they are performing in) That is why it is perplexing. I did not think that they played any gyms with Neil either, so that adds to the uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaine mac Roth Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Another thing that, in my opinion, points to it being John is the fact that the drummer is playing what looks like a Gretsch Kit. When Neil auditioned for Rush he was playing a Rogers kit. Not long before his debut with the band, they all got new gear and he bought a Slingerland kit. Not conclusive I know, but a little more salt for the pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as Slaine's been so good to put salt in the pot, I thought I'd better stir it a bit!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it does look a bit like Neil, but it must be John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestand Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Is it just me, or is Geddy reverse aging? I swear to god, the Anthem video on RIR, I thought he looked 80, even though it was taken, well, 30 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
