Why do some RUSH fans Hate "Roll The Bones"?

 

Because it's not heavy metal enough with no crushing riffs nor screaming 2112 vocals. The drums are plastic-sounding with no power and no sharpness the songs are wishy washy and too commercial and the lyrics are dopey talking about the cold war like anything had really changed going from the Soviet Union to Russia and here we are today the Russian leader is a former KGB Colonel.

 

Once a commie, always a commie, right TD?

 

"Better red than dead!"

 

:16ton:

And a pack of blueberry gum!

 

Where did you get your Intel on Russians loving blueberry gum, Ducky?

All I care about is, is it heavy metal or not, and does anyone in the band have at least as much head hair as Hair Bear from Help it's the Hair Bear Bunch.

 

But that's not MY question Ducky. you know how to start a thread with YOUR question.

You didn't start the thread.

Did I mess the thread up? I'm sorry. I was just trying to interject some humor,

 

My apologies. :cheers:

And sex?

John Cleese was originally supposed to perform the rap portion of RtB.

 

Too bad that didn’t happen.

 

I think the song would’ve worked even better with the rap part removed completely.

 

I agree having Cleese do the Rap would've made it even cooler than it is! SYs2IQu.gif

Well it's obvious you want a back and forth argument, you're going to have to find someone else though, this is my final post on this subject.

It's the rap section that gets the hate from everyone for the most part. Even though Rush is considered a prog band and all they were doing was experimenting with that part just like any prog band does with their music. Still, too many snob fans thought Rush was lowering themselves by doing rap in a song. It was just them being their goofy selfs for a minute and some fans hated it because Rush is supposed to be super serious all the time.

 

I love the song myself. I even sing along with the rap part.

 

Yes yes yes but a little bit of no...

 

Yeah, in general, it’s the rap. But, i really don’t think fans think “Rush is supposed to be super serious all the time.” This is because fans already know that Rush isn’t super serious all the time. We all know about their goofy sense of humor and Neil’s attempts at fun word play ((note: “attempts at)). We all know that Rush was just having fun with the rap...it’s simply that many of us didn’t like it. And not necessarily JUST because it was rap. There’s very little rap that I like but some does exist. The Roll The Bones rap bit isn’t one.

 

The snob part you commented on I agree with though.

 

If I omitted the rap section, I’d give it a “C”. With the rap section it gets a “C-“. So the rap’s not too big of a factor to me anyway.

 

 

P.S. Why do you “sing along” with the rap part? It’s a rap. :P

 

:blaze:

It's because Rush fans hold them to high standards and know when something doesn't cut it. For all the epicness in the catalog and you want us to listen to this faux rap song? Me thinks not.

They shouldn't have let him read the lyrics before he signed the contract.
