Members of Rush do drugs? (Real ones, not pot)?

I guess it shouldn't surprise me, seeing the business they're in, but I was surprised to read the Neil, even in his later years, uses drugs? I guess I would expect it from the younger guys, but I did find myself trying to read and reread the article trying to make the drugs seem like pot.

 

Not a huge deal, I guess, but I thought some here would be interested.

It seems that links don't work. Anyway, go to Rushisaband.com and search today's update post for The Legends of Brocklehurst blog.

 

That was an interesting read. If the cocaine story is true, it is a little surprising that this was going on as late as 2004. I don't know enough about this Brocklehurst character to question his veracity, but it is noteworthy that he's referred to as a "small time criminal, among other things..."

It's a highly unprofessional looking blog on blogspot.. lets keep in mind that there are fake roadie twitter accounts made by people who have alot of time on their hands.. I say you can even question the validity of the blog itself.

I doubt this is true. Regardless, it's none of our business. And I question how good of a friend he is posting this online for the world to read. Disrespectful of Neil, imo. And his line of (paraphrasing) 'I'm sure it's been said that drugs are not a stranger of Rush' is no excuse. Edited by xx2112xx

LOL! People are so naieve if they think Rush has only done pot.

 

C'mon, take off your rose tinted glasses.

 

I still maintain my "who cares" statement earlier.

 

You seem to care enough to post on this topic twice.

if you dont care about something it doesnt mean you're disallowed from making observations on it

 

jesus, if i had to shut my mouth on everything i didnt care about i might as well take a vow of silence

They admitted to doing pot during FBN-COS era and that one of them only quit in the 80s. As for hard drugs like Cocaine and LSD I would surprised if they didn't at least try it at one point. However, as for doing drugs in recent years I doubt it very much. It would be incredibly difficult to do drugs and maintain the form that they do night after night. My guess is that the shenanagians ceased by the mid 90s at the latest.

Look. They are affluent touring rock musicians. Of course they take/have taken drugs other than uncle Bob. FFS what's the problem? I'm a professional and in years gone by had a dabble or 2 with powders and potions. Did it affect my work? Nope. Did it affect my family? Nope. Nothing wrong with being chemically inconvenienced once in a while. I'm constantly amazed by this weird notion that Alex, Neil and Geddy are choirboys. Check out the clip of Alex on you tube pissed/stoned off his tits on the beach trying to play 2112!!

It's silly to think they haven't done hard drugs. So what? Use doesn't equal abuse, and timing is everything.

 

In fact, any fan who's read Ghost Rider knows the answer.

 

In Ghost Rider does Neil talk about doing a bunch of coke?

yup, it's pretty clear from their demeanour over the years and lives in general these guys have never abused hard drugs although probably used more for creative purposes than anything else

 

i think if you're an artist of any description you're kinda obliged at some stage to experiment at least with mind-altering substances of some sort

 

just a general rule of thumb though, probably doesnt apply to everyone.
