LedRush Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I don't see why it matters, at all. As has been said, drugs are part of the rock and roll lifestyle. Get over it. It happened a decent amount of time in the past. Less than 10 years? Even if it happened last week, it's still not our business. Why do you people care? I care for the many reasons stated above. I only commented about when because of the reasoning Destruct gave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerxster Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 This just in.. Rush has been allowed to "sin in silence" says Geddy commenting on the bands existence outside the mainstream.. COKE HEADS!!!! LolLedRush is trying to break the silence.. break that bitch wide open!! Therefore, I nominate 'TMZ' as LR's member title. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Dear god, I only just read this thread and I cannot believe adults are actually bothered by the likelihood that the members of Rush have - oh shit - partaken of substances stronger than near-beer. :o . Has any of them been arrested for some drug-fueled crime? (Alex's little escapade in Naples over a decade ago does not count, as there's no indication that any drug besides alcohol was involved). Ended up in hospital from overdose? Exhibited erratic behavior that caused the cancellation of a show or come on stage too whacked-out to perform decently? Screwed over multiple people - friends, family, associates of the band - in a downward spiral of addiction, culminating in bankruptcy and frequent extended stays in court-mandated rehab? It's really none of our business, then. Breaking news - they're humans, meaning they shit, fart, have bad breath on occasion. No doubt they spank the monkey from time to time while on tour and away from their wives. Get over it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything they're probably just surprised/shocked that this is even interesting to you and others. And by the way some of your posts in this thread read it seems like you're more than simply "interested" in Rush's past drug use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said, I am surprised at the suggested frequency and amount that Neil did in his 50s, not about that they've ever tried harder drugs ever.

Actually, no, it doesn't :) I asked out of pure intellectual curiosity. I am honestly baffled as to why it matters to anyone who loves what they're doing professionally. For me, the music and the gigs are amazing and the public faces are good, and that's enough. When you're looking at people who are showing you so clearly everything they've done right for the last forty years, I genuinely do not understand why the rest matters.

No one wants you here! Typical ginger Canuck bullshitHey I'm a ginger and Im a Canuck... lets watch the stereotyping here. :P Seriously who gives a f**k if Rush does or ever did drugs other than the wacky tobaccy?! Or if they had a evening or two with a groupie while on the road... they are rock stars... life on the road is just that.. Life On The Road... it doesnt mean jack about their credibility as musicians or songwriters and it certainly doesn't make me love them any less.

ILSnwdog Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I don't see why it matters, at all. As has been said, drugs are part of the rock and roll lifestyle. Get over it. It happened a decent amount of time in the past. Less than 10 years? They seem pretty healthy and happy. And they're making relevant music and selling a lot of concert tickets. What more do you want from them? You want them to be nuns and feed the poor and clothe the naked while making their next album? Besides, 10 years can be a lifetime in some peoples' lives. Think about what Peart was doing (and dealing with) in 1995, 2000, and 2005 and you'll likely see 3 very different people.So true, how much people can change! Just look at the picture of Neil on their debut album. He doesn't even resemble the Neil of today.OK...I've got to know if you are being serious here, or are you trying to perpetuate a Rushgoober type ruse.
