When you name your pets kids after Rush songs/albums...

I might do that...but Xanadu is one of my all-time favorites...and I wouldn't really want Cygnus X-1 Book Two without Book One... Maybe I'd sacrifice...what's something I don't like as much...Hold Your Fire for Permanent Waves and Hemispheres. Yes, don`t let my indifference to AFTK drag you down. I can`t exactly pin it down, but I just don`t think it`s as good as the other pre-1985 stone-cold classics. I wonder why. For me everything in the 70s and early 80s (except maybe the first album) is fully amazing (notwithstanding the few Ayn Rand-ian sentiments that bother me), then as you get into the mid-80s, there'll be the occasional not-so-good song (except on Presto), more so in the 90s...sorry for talking your ear off typing your eyes off, but I'm curious. Not liking (or being indifferent to) AFTK specifically is very different than, say, not liking the first album or the synth era.

All I hear from that person is blah blah blah. Wait until they find out the bassist for Nirvana isn't Andy Kaufman. I know nothing about Nirvana.

I was just reading the forum and learned that there is a Rush song called Nocturne (That does it. Forget Different Stages, I'm going to listen to Vapor Trails right now). And now I've got Nocturne by the Roches stuck in my head.

Losing It, weirdly. Prime Mover (I misunderstood the lyrics). Probably some other ones that I can't think of right now. I have a rather odd story about Prime Mover, ask me sometime.

Perhaps there are more female fans than you think, we just don't like to talk to the sexist male fans.

My friend--who hates Rush--and I are making a movie. In one scene I'm wearing a Rush T-shirt. She didn't even notice what my shirt said. That's kind of off topic, but it's immediately what I thought of.

Someone I know describing Rush as "Neil, Geddy, and the other one." I HATE WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT. Like in the Beyond the Lighted Stage documentary where the guy's like "the bass playing is amazing, the drumming is amazing, the lyrics are amazing..." ummmmmmm

I would sacrifice A Passage To Bangkok to hear Freewill. Although I've had Freewill in my head almost nonstop since my first listen a couple months ago so maybe not that...maybe Xanadu. Or Fountain Of Lamneth. Or Anthem, even though I don't like the lyrics. Or Limelight. Or Red Sector A. I don't even dislike Passage To Bangkok that much. I'd also sacrifice Working Man to hear Circumstances--but only because not being able to hear Working Man would give me an incentive to practice playing it. But does sacrificing something mean it's erased from existence--in which case I probably wouldn't--or does it just mean you can't listen to it? Hmm.

When the reason you give for never having heard of Rush is "I don't really listen to mainstream music." People have said this to me. On multiple occasions.

HAhaha my 50th post was about Roll The Bones and the "Restless Young Rushmantic" picture is of the kid kicking the skull! I swear that wasn't on purpose!

16. You connect years in your mind with Rush albums. (Like if, say, you come across an old newspaper from 1991 and you're immediately like "Roll the Bones!")

I must not be a very big Rush fan, because it took me a couple of weeks to figure out what the heck you were talking about.

When you think there is a worst Rush song. (Kidding)

Vampire Weekend The Roches Rocketship

You mean, because it's SO GREAT that if you think it's the worst you must think all other Rush is COMPLETELY, BEYOND-WORDS MINDBLOWING?

I will have to run that by my wife ... And I will appear as the naked star guy. Epic love-making will ensue. It will last 21 min and 12 sec. Then I will run out of the room and hop on a motorcycle and drive off into the night. you know you're a Rush fanatic when you read that comment and then say to yourself "Well actually "it" should last 20m and 36s 39.

Thank you so much! Everyone is being so nice. WAIT 10 YEARS AGO THEY WERE STILL TOURING PLEASE TELL ME YOU GOT TO GO TO A CONCERT Alas sweetheart no, never been to one! I meant that I got into Rush when I was18 year old. lol It was too expensive for me tho, I am sad to say :(

You know you are a Rush fanatic when you name your kids Alex and Neil because your spouse would not agree to the name "Geddy" :laughing guy:

The New World Women one that nobody posts in anymore. http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/61980-alex-20/

13. You spend an HOUR trying to upload ONE FREAKING IMAGE to the FREAKING ALEX THREAD that NOBODY FREAKING READS ANYWAY Sorry, I'm mad right now.

Crimson misty memory Hazy glimpse of me Give me back my wonder

Nobody posts in the old one anymore, so I made a new one. You know you're a Rush fan when: 1. You can recite every Rush album in order, with the years of release. (I do this all the time and it annoys the heck out of my friends.) 2. You're in a car and you see a license plate that says YYZ. You freak out and scare the driver so much she swerves the car into the next lane. 3. You start writing a diary about the election, but end up writing about Rush half the time. 4. 9/12 is more important to you than 9/11. 5. You have to fight not to squeal when you realize your friend has a Zoom background of a red Ferrari (a Barchetta is a kind of Ferrari). 6. You actually squeal when you realize your friend has a Zoom background of a red Ferrari. 7. You watch The Twilight Zone, own every book by Ayn Rand, and have read "A Nice Morning Drive." 8. You take a chemistry class and sing the song Chemistry throughout the whole thing. 9. You convince your teacher to let you write a book report on Rush lyrics instead of an actual book. 10. You're late for work/school because you stayed up half the night listening to Rush. 11. You are shocked when your friend turns off YYZ after the part with the Morse code (you made them look up what -.---.----.. meant). 12. You're reading this. Most of these are based on things that actually happened to me. Someone else please post in this so I don't look silly. Let's get some funny ones!
