So as a scholar, what do you answer when people ask you "are Rush heavy metal?". Well first off Anthem, Cygnus X1 and 2112 are obviously country songs right? Joking! Rush has obviously had a long and storied musical career and have progressed wildly over the past four decades. Certainly, especially in the first half of their career they would strongly be considered heavy metal and then progressive metal. As a matter of fact several of my colleagues have researched and presented such facts in a myriad of books and documentaries. Do people still read? So what do you say to those that insist that Rush is not metal? Maybe these people were born in the 90s and have limited exposure to genres of music? With all the kids nowadays listening to rap influenced mallcore , it might be very hard to grasp what was considered metal back in the late '60s and early '70s, when heavy metal was truly born. The next generation will probably argue that Black Sabbath and Slayer are not metal, just because they never set off atomic weaponry at concerts and didn't shoot dead babies out of cannons like future bands will probably do. Kids nowadays... Tell us something about yourself that not many people know. I may seem very confident but I have a couple weird phobias actually. I always feel like someone is following me and I am also terrified of large reptiles. Favorite Rush experience? Ask me again in 11 minutes. Let's head to your car and listen to The Garden first. Rowwwr. Woohoo!     Hey, is that Godzilla humping a building behind her? Huh?! Godzilla? WTF are you talking about Willis?!

Yes, its called "empathy" Hahaha!   As I said I am sure there is a name for it, but I'm sure it leans toward some form of delusion, and certainly not empathy.

The answer is clearly http://blogfwends.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/spinaltap.jpg I shit you not! Who could you even argue would be ranked higher than Rush in the rock/metal genre?   The Stones? The Beatles? Possibly U2?   Anything less than that is tough to argue and that includes Kiss, Zeppelin, Aeroshit, Queen, Chili Peppers, Maiden...   Nobody else has the breadth of work and the same consistent aroma of excellence.

Don't Google this movie title at work or you may set off alarm bells, klaxons and so forth.

 

Jellybean? Apple? Siri?

 

Why do these all sounds like names of Courtney Love's kids, or Bono's or Bob Geldoff's or all of the above?

 

Hey Gemini - in your fantasy land, while Neil is going down on you ask him if he has a copy of the new CD that he'd be willing to give to you.

Wow, she is pretty hot actually....

I shit you not!

Sorry goober, but I find this borders on non-nonsensical.

 

A Garden can be a metaphor for a million and one things, clearly in this case has nothing to do with Eden.

 

On the contrary probably alludes to an ending... nature, peace and simplicity away from the throes of technology, conflict, adventure and change.

 

It is the peaceful, reflective end of things. Death or retirement whatever, the end of time.

 

Not one single element here in any way crosses with the nature of the Garden of Eden...

 

Oh and for the record that is a mind bogglingly awesome music service. I am 'thiiiiiiis close' to subscribing.

Gemini - starting this month, rd.io has a one week free trial offer, all you need is any old email address to sign up, it's awesome they have so much music, millions upon millions of tracks, it is almost impossible to "stump them" with obscure stuff!

 

http://www.rdio.com/

 

Anyways, go sign up for a free trial, and then do a "search by band" and look for "Strapping Young Lad". On the results page find the song "You F**king Suck" and listen to that!

I want to see some of those pictures from the bars we hit! Think Sanzo even remembers us or actually being there? Doubt it! Probably found his camera two weeks later, looked at all these pictures of us and thought "who the f**k are these male supermodels I was hanging out with at all this different bars? WTF!"

Seriously, how old are the majority of guys on this forum? It's just a never ending onslaught of girl photos in peoples sigs. I think the female members would be more comfortable too, if they were absent. If I need to see chicks, I can go to google images.

Tampa is frigging nuts. Went all the way from Canada last tour, figured I could just buy tickets from scalpers on the way in? Not a chance! Was lucky the box office still had some lawns left!

 

Good on Tampa.

It has nothing to do with being cheap. Its the principal. I refuse to buy the CD unless I first find it worthy of being bought, period. Why should I financially support Rush if I feel the album is a half-effort on the part of the members of Rush? The recording quality is another issue. From what I've heard thus far, CA is easily at the bottom of the Rush catalog.

QUOTE (Godeater2112 @ Jul 9 2012, 09:31 PM) Neil asked me what two songs I want to hear the most. I requested Xanadu + The Garden. He usually adheres to my requests, including Time Stand Still last tour! We can't go through the tears of Time stand still again can we???? No. This time it will be "The Garden of Eternal Sobbing".

This band is such shit that it's kind of addictive actually.

 

If they prefaced this music with "we are enormous Rush fans who are not very good musically but love to try and mash Rush riffs together" then maybe I could learn to accept it. Maybe.

If they have strings, why wouldn't they play The Garden?
