Oh!! What a big man you are! Let me give you a pack of gum and show you how to chew it!

Cuz they remind me of Rush. Fast paced, spacy prog with sci-fi lyrics, pushing the boundaries of music. They're putting out 5 studio albums next year. A good band to follow right now.

Hey Rush fam. Lately I've been singing Rush at some karaoke contests and I thought I'd post the videos here. I normally don't air guitar and drum when I do karaoke but the judges score on stage presence as well as vocals. You guys should check it out and let me know what you like or what I can improve on. Thanks! 1st place out of 17 people Tom Sawyer 2nd place out of 16 people Limelight

I heard Rush on the radio all through my life growing up, but they never piqued my interest. Then one day when I was about 16 (I'm 21 now) I was in my friend's dad's car and Working Man was on the radio. He told me Rush were awesome and I would really like them. I was blown away by Working Man. And equally blown away when I later found out that Working Man was on their first album. HOW? (I thought) So yeah, heard Working Man, went to Walmart the next day and bought "Spirit of Radio: Greatest Hits" When I first started listening to them I just liked that they had a really unique sound. It was spacy, colorful, intricate, flavorful. Over time I began more and more to appreciate Geddy's style of playing bass and Alex's style of playing guitar. Geddy Lee is bar-none my favorite bass player. Alex is tied with a couple others. I can't say I like anyone more than Alex, but at times I think David Gilmour and Steve Howe are equally as creative. Neil Peart is objectively the best drummer ever. Rush is the greatest band of all time. But to me, Genesis is hot on their trail. Remember when classic Genesis was new and fresh and mind blowing? I'm in that phase. That phase is long gone with Rush, and in fact, I haven't listened to them in like a year, because before that year I listened to them EXCLUSIVELY for like three years. Take my advice, if you're new to Rush - PACE YOURSELF. I know it's addicting, but just fight the urge. I'm here for anyone who needs help.

I think it had something to do with leather pants and someone being embarrassed.

Rush CD's at Wal-mart are $4.99. (Except Clockwork Angels and Time Machine Live, of course.) I've seen Signals, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, and Hemispheres each for 4.99, remasters.

QUOTE (big lou @ Jul 30 2012, 12:24 PM) Old is new again -- I predict they will open with 2112 - Overture and Temples. I think they should open with just Overture and leave out Temples. That way they don't have to downtune. The can go straight from "And the meek shall inherit the earth" to the guitar riff at the beginning of Grand Finale. So basically Overture - Grand Finale, not downtuned.
