Agree with Neil. That stuff about bands saying "this crowd is the greatest I've ever seen" is true. Even crappy bar bands say shit like that. And it's basically a lie!
Also, while Rush sells stuff, they don't embrace the hero worship aspect of it. I.e. you wont find a t-shirt with Neil sticking out his tongue.
Also, a lot of bands portray a bullcrap image of their personal lives. Such as, their life being one big party of booze, drugs, and women. Again, that is basically a lie!

Leg 2 next year huh? And what will the tour be called? It certainly won't be R40. Calling it R40 in their 42nd year is just not gonna happen.
How about R40+ :)
R40: Book II

If you need a place to "let it all out," you could try your own blog, such as tumblr.
But tumblr is full of haterz, so..... your mileage may vary!

I just notice that the "beat" of the above gif coincides with the below song:

Gandhi is a pretty smart guy
That gangsta slept with women in the nude to give him special meditative powers
I have tried that technique, but meditative powers were not achieved.

When I opened the door, I knew it was going to be a bad day.
My ex-wife was standing there, with a big smile on her face.
"I have wonderful news," she said, patting her belly.
"I ate the kids! Now I am the most important!"
"You're lying," I told her, "Billy and Sally are here with me today."
"ok, ok, i was only kidding. I'm expecting! And you're gonna be a new uncle.
You don't mind taking a paternity test to make sure you're the one responsible for this, do you?
"No problem," I answered, "but first you have to ask the 15 boyfriends you've had in the last year."
"Don't try to weasel your way out of this with flattery," she said.
She glared at me and snorted, "Maybe I should ask your boss, your golfing buddies, and your lawyer...."
The look in her eyes as she headed through the door was a cold fire.
Of course, she made that look because I physically threw her through the door.
Unfortunately it was a wooden, not metal door.

Let's write a story! Copy-and-paste and add another sentence:

There was a post involving a person sucking something... and I was scrolling through the page at work! LOL!
What is this porn you speak of?Plus, we're seeing these new threads being used to post girlie pics -- and in the case of a post from earlier today, porn pics. I mean, really?

Keeping with the same theme.
Besides Chewbacca, can you come up with two Wookie names?
Lumpy and Itchy.

Thank for all the the suggestions, I've been listening to those bands on youtube. (Kudos to the pirates who post full albums!)
Upon listening to all that stuff, it occurred to me that there should be an item #6 in the original list:
6. Diversity of musical styles.
Maybe that's another thing that makes Rush "one of a kind." Their style goes all over the place. On CA you have BU2B, and you also have Wish Them Well, and The Garden. It's like GrindCore meets ShitPop!
Anyways I'm going to listen to the latest Maiden stuff, the latest Mastodon stuff, some other stuff, including DT and Living Colour, and see if anything clicks!
Thanks!

Relevant documentary. Ged, Alex and Neil speak!

These dudes create stuff that melts my face
What in God's name did I just watch???
Weird video for sure (as usual), but what did you think of the song? That's one of my faves from their last album.
Try these. Some good odd-time stuff here:
Pretty good. What is a good Mastodon album to start with?
My "technique" for determining if I like a band is to listen to one album like 50 times. After that, either I like the band, or the gag reflex kicks in!

So now that Rush is giving the impression that they're retired, it's time to find another band that's like Rush, but not Rush.
So I've composed a tentative checklist of Rush-esque qualities, to help me find a Rush replacement band.
After thinking long and hard (oh, about 10 minutes), I've decided that the band should exhibit the following traits:
- Currently active, not retired.
- Technically proficient musicians.
- Lyrics are not trivial BS, such as love songs or songs about hoes and bling.
- Their songs are somewhat hummable.
- Bonus points of their songs are catchy.
So yeah, if anyone knows of bands that fit the above checklist, let me know!
- Currently active, not retired.

Kim Mitchell was in attendance at the Wednesday night show in Toronto at the ACC for R40 - He had floor seats and stayed for the duration of the show.
Max did a New Years Eve show at MLG in 1980/81 and Geddy joined them for Battle Scar - shame no recording has ever turned up.
Oh and Max Webster is the second best band out of Canada, at their peak it was a coin toss
Another big hit from Max Webster. A real rocker, "Check"...

Why stop at picketing?
