1000ml Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Not in my view. Is Yes heavy metal?... I don't think Yes is heavy metal. I'm not sure about Rush. Some of their songs do seem more driven and louder. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think the best category for Rush would be Progressive Hard Rock. But some of the earlier stuff had elements of metal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see it or more importantly hear it. The music seems night and day to what I consider metal... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasekratzer Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Rush is not heavy metal. Although their early stuff is influnced by Led Zeppelin and Cream, those bands arent really heavy metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 There's some stuff from the 70s like Anthem and Bastille Day which are kind of metal. They've done a few things that are close but they certainly are not a metal band. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I want to say Prog-metal but as soon as you put Rush in a box you deny one of their greatest qualities, their ability to cross genres! Rush is all genres. Rush is the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Nope not one note is what i would call metel.......but might have been for the time. But sounds nothing like metal to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against Rush or metal, but the lists are wrong. Not if you consider the original definition of heavy metal. In the 70's Rush were considered progressive heavy metal. Kirk Hammet listened to them back then and still refers to them as "the high priests of conceptual metal'" hell, queen were even metal back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
