Wow. I honestly didn't expect to get many replies on this, I appreciate the help! I'll take the advice of trying to cast out a bit, I plan on taking maybe a 5 month break, that's probably give me enough time to go through some of my other bands.

I really like the band Rush. I grew up in their Hometown of Willowdale, I lived just a few blocks away from Alex Lifeson's childhood home, and I'm even going to their highschool. I started listening to them when I turned 13, I had rode my bike back and forth from Toronto city with the two albums Moving Pictures and Permanent Waves between my arms and when I first listened to them, it was amazing. I grew up in a dysfunctional family and I'd escape mainly by listening to them. Hell, I even found a passion of writing from being inspired by their song 2112. I could listen to their songs forever and it would never bother me. Three years after, I've found it where I mindlessly just go strait to youtube, go to my favourites, and just pick a song without even thinking about what I'm listening to. I came really dependant on their music for lots of reasons. I went through a lot of emotional turmoil with my family as a young kid, I'm still going through this today and I've always found hope in their lyrics. Like I've said before, I've found a passion in writing due to Rush, I feel like I owe them everything for helping me find something that I was actually worth. Finally, they bring back so many memories of when I was younger. When I listened to them back then it was easy to get swept away but now I've just grown used to it. Strange enough, I used to be obsessed with Pink Floyd. I listened to them so many times it had gotten stale. I found Rush a few months after losing interest in them and I was hooked. I'm trying to take a short break from rush so I can experience that new feeling again, but I feel so empty. I'm starting my first day tomorrow, and while I sit here in utter silence, I feel... well, weird. It feels like I'm just letting all those memories flow behind me, and it feels sorta painful. Any suggestions? Has anyone else felt this before, and if so is there any possible way to get that same new feeling from their music?

The worst concert experience I've ever had? Not going to one and instead just watching one online. ;-;

9 I'm not going any farther, I listen to them too much and i'm taking a small break from them so they don't become too stale.

Will this be the year Rush regains some respectability?

Vapour Trails was actually pretty good. Well, it was to me. -
That's a relief. It certainly wouldn't be very pleasing to hear Lirxst caused a crash due to him goofing off somehow. For now he shall remain on the stage goofing around with geddy <3

Is all of them an answer?

I will forever fuel this thread starting with this fabulous picture of Lerxst Let me remind you, this doofus has a pilot's license
-
Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. Sometimes Signals, but I usually skip Losing It. I don't wanna start crying and get in a crash!
-
Heh, I actually live not too far from Alex's childhood home. As for Dirk, I'm not very sure.

I'm just going to grace this thread with a collage of Alex You're welcome.
