mustachecake Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Can anybody name some other great bands that have a similar sound as Rush? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadon Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 The first band that comes to mind is Voivod. Check out their Angel Rat album form 1991. I beleive Terry Brown even produced that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhiannon_of_Rivendell Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Triumph. Another reason to hail R&R from the Great White North! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave G Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Tiles and Paradigm Blue also come to mind. Great musicianship, extended and complex song structures. I put out a CD last year called Immovable Mover with a very heavy (probably too heavy) mid-late '80s Rush influence, but I've moved on since then and won't likely be doing anything else with such a blatant Rush influence again (I'll always be a Rush fan, but I didn't find being a thinly-veiled Rush clone to ultimately be a very satisfying role as a musician, LOL!).

Indica Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 "Coheed And Cambria" has been compared to Rush. I don't really see it, maybe it's the singer who has a high pitched voice. But they sound as much like rush than any I've seen named so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weakly Criminal Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Would it be too obvious to mention Max Webster? Sorry but I can't stand Zebra! Tool and Primus rock!!! Triumph in their day... and am I the only one that just doesn't get Dream Theatre? To me they have the ambitious musicianship of ; but lack the artistic expression that has always put first and which has won them a fiercely loyal core group of fans. Of course expecting anyone to live up to such artistic heights is to guarantee disappointment, but I have yet to be so disappointed by , or so impressed by DT. There are DT songs that I can listen to with appreciation, like some Y. Malmsteen stuff, but I can't say that either have ever really captured my emotions the way art is supposed to. Scales done in 64th notes ain't art. I don't want to listen to whatever some musician can play the fastest, I want to hear what moves them the most, expressed in a way that moves me the most. That is what does best, and what only a handful of other groups in rock have ever equaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimensionidol Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 and.......playing fastest is not being more technical.... technique is phrasing.....and complexity in arrangements.... try to sing and play bass like Geddy!! or being so clean on 32th drum patterns like Neil! it is more difficult than a bunch of 64th notes casually played...
