JohnRogers Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Imagine if you will a world in which RUSH made no new music after T4E. Neil went full on hermit mode. What would the band's legacy be? RR HOF? What would Geddy and Alex have done? Would TRF exist? How would you feel aboot the band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 The rnrhof vote was pressured due to the level of popularity they were experiencing because long time fans had the power to include them in movies and on tv. So, even though their post-t4e output has been spotty, their releases and touring since then solidified their legacy. On a personal level, I would mainly miss the live documents they have produced since t4e and clockwork Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Considering I was 2 at the time T4E came out, I'm real glad they got back together Edited November 22, 2015 by Union 5-3992 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 When T4E came out I wasn't even listening to them. They kinda lost me with RtB. So if they had stopped then it would have been with a whimper in my book. Truth be told I thought they we're past it by then but in hindsight Test and Counterparts are both very strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky6 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 r30 should have been it. it would have been a perfect way to end a good thing. But nope got too goofy and the mystery was over. Althought beyond the lighted stage was great. they still could have made that tooo and it would have been a perfect ending. I liked rush better before they got all those goofy fans with their kids coming to the shows. urrhhhhhhhhhh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The group was at it's playing pinnacle and Ged could still enunciate clearly 90% of the time. Still would've missed them just as much as I do now but that's life... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 If they had quit after Power Windows my opinion of them wouldn't be any different than it is now to be honest because I had quit on them then anyway. I only reconnected with them because I went to the Vapor Trails tour to take my daughter and then the Snakes & Arrows show to take my son. I only really began being really interested again because I joined here. Nothing will ever change my opinion of there greatness from Grace Under Pressure back to the beginning. Love all of it... :codger: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 The R40 tour is the perfect end for the band. I love the recent increase in recognition RUSH is getting, and it's been fun to celebrate that success with everyone, my kids especially. Ending with T4E would have seen them go out with a whimper, and they and their fans deserve better than that. :rush: 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Imagine if you will a world in which RUSH made no new music after T4E. Neil went full on hermit mode. What would the band's legacy be? RR HOF? What would Geddy and Alex have done? Would TRF exist? How would you feel aboot the band? While I mostly loved Clockwork Angels, on balance I think I'd have preferred it that way to be honest. No Feedback, no S&A, no VT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I don't think I'd feel any differently about them. Love the band, I'd still play their stuff , no more and no less than I do now. There's other things to listen to regardless of the band's longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnEggplant Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I love Test for Echo, I know I'm alone on this but I enjoy it more than albums like Signals and Moving Pictures (not that those albums are bad, I love them too, but Test for Echo just gets more listens from me). It would've been sad that they quit, but I would've been happy with what they left us with. That said, If they leave now with Clockwork Angels as their final hurrah, I'd be more than satisfied. I personally think it's their best work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 If I'm honest, I think they should have bowed out in 1987....HYF was a great album, but the rot had started to set in with songs like Tai Shan and High Water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
