Tombstone Mountain Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 One of the greatest metal bands ever http://i.imgur.com/xaDWiSB.jpg Rush isn't metal. Not completely. But listen to their 70s stuff. Plenty of metal style riffs and moments. VT, S&A and CA have a lot of metal going on as well.Headlong Flight is metal up your ass with Canadian bacon on the side 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Operation Mindcrime...I don't know how to rank it against all these great albums, but it's certainly perfection and it's certainly metal. Master of Puppets is given too much elevation here as well. Rust in Peace is coming in soft IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Did I see Priest on there more than once and no Sad Wings Of Destiny? Lmao... If Paranoid can top the list, surely Sad Wings can make the list, right? But what more can you expect from Rolling Stone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of metal style riffs and moments. VT, S&A and CA have a lot of metal going on as well. 2000s Rush does come the closest they have since AFTK. That said, I don't think they've ever crossed the line into metal since 2112 and Cygnus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 One of the greatest metal bands ever http://i.imgur.com/xaDWiSB.jpg Rush isn't metal. With that line of thinking, then no metal existed pre-1980s ... Rush is not only metal, but they helped created the genre, the attitude and the belief .. They are the priests Without Rush, there is no Celtic Frost and no Voivod Dio once said the real difference between a metal band and any old rock band is the attitude. Sabbath had the metal attitude, Priest had it. Rush had a different attitude, one which was definitely not metal, it was just Rush. Totally unique. And with this completely I disagree .. Marketing some cornball pseudo Satanic imagery is not metal to me, or coming across like Spinal Tap .... It was a sense of rebellion and freedom, loud fast music that had an appeal to blue collar, suburban outcast kids who didn't know where to vent their energy, ideas and creative force .. I was 13 when I first saw them on the Permanent Waves tour, and the crowd was a sea of older kids like in that pic .. When Rush came out with the in fog to the opening chords of 2112, it was some of the loudest, most powerful shit I have ever experienced ... And with all due respect to Maiden, who I saw two years later, what I had seen from Rush was heavier and more powerful METAL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush's tone will always be something other than metal to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush's tone will always be something other than metal to me. I feel that early on, the importance of the individual, and not simply stepping in line with the norm for conformity's sake, was very metal - esp when backed by the heaviness of the music and Geddy's otherworldly voice ..

GeddyLeeRoth Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) For Rolling Stone, this isn't a bad Top 100, particularly the top 50. I agree with their omission of protometal acts or just plain hard rock bands like Zeppelin, Deep Purple, early Rush, UFO, 70's KISS, etc., although these are many of my favorite bands (and no, they shouldn't have included the stellar VH's Fair Warning either).
