You are constantly stopping your brothers whatever they are doing and forcing them to identify the Rush riff you  are playing on guitar, bass, or Keys.

I do that all the time to my parents!

YEA, my brothers are so annoyed of it, and they're both Rush fans biggrin.gif

My dad is sick of YYZ because I tap it on everything all the time.

When everyone knows your a Rush fan and they will poke fun at it all the time just to get under your skin. "Have you heard of that band Rush? They can't make a decent song if their life depended on it."

You accidentally hit a teacher in the face trying to twirl you pencils like drumsticks like neil does

Haha, I twirl my pencil all the time. Last year I made it my goal to learn how to twirl a drum stick and pencil.

 

I am in band in school and I play percussion. I was on the timpani and I actually made a drum stick twirl routine to go with it. I would casually do it during practice and went all out in concert. I was going to do an epic stick throw and catch, but after missing it a few times in practice, I didn't want to risk it. Stick goes flying and hits someone. biggrin.gif

when you are in a restaurant and the score of a basketball game is at 21-12 you scream oh my god 2112! Then everyone stops and stares at you untill a guy yells out Roll The Bones!

Similar story from me...

 

Was in town with my friend (Who isn't a Rush fan, in my opinion he hasn't heard enough Rush to pass judgement but he says they're geeky and suck) anyway we're talking along and this guy who looks just like Geddy Lee steps out of a shop in front of us. Unable to help myself I just shout "Oh my god!! It's Geddy Lee!!" the guy doesn't turn around so he obviously hasn't a clue what I mean and doesn't know it's directed at him but some other guy a few steps behind us says "This is The Spirit Of Radio" laugh.gif

When you have a Tom Sawyer ringtone on your cell phone.

I've been told my TS ringtone is one of the coolest among the people I work with.

You know you're a Rush fan when:


1. You have to listen to them more and more and go out and get all their
    albums and DVD's.

2. You want to listen to the bands and musicians who have influenced
    them
.

3. You buy any magazine that has them mentioned in it, however so
    small.

4. You become interested in checking out books by Ernest Hemingway, 
    F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos and others.

5. You watch The Twilight Zone.

6. You take an interest in Buddy Rich and Big Band Music!

7. You check out the music of bands that have opened for Rush to see
    what the combination of them and Rush may have been like.

8. Your girlfriend/boyfriend tells you its either her/him or going to a
    Rush concert. You go to the concert.

9. Your wife/husband tells you to "grow up" and stop listening   
    to/watching/going to see Rush and being such a fanatic to the band
    or she/he will file for divorce. You call your lawyer.

10. You fly to Brazil (or anywhere over 5,000) miles to see Rush!

11. You go to Canada to see Lakeside Park, Massey Hall, the Laurentian
      Mountains and Le Studio.

12. You start having soup at least once a week!

13. You line-up for tickets at least 12 hours before Rush tickets go on
      sale.

14. After buying a new Rush album, you go home and immediately and
      listen to it with headphones on while reading the lyrics.

15. You keep all the Rush t-shirts, tour programs and ticket stubs no
      matter how old they are.

16. You buy all solo albums and side projects by Alex, Geddy and Neil.

17. You are inspired to learn to play guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, or 
      sing even if you never previously have in your life.

18. You can sing to and know the lyrics to every Rush song.

19. You can air drum any of Neil's drum fills.

20. You name your pet or pets after Alex, Geddy, or Neil or a Rush song
      title!

um... for me all of those except for #3, #13, and half/and/half of #19, are true...oh and for #17 only the drums...cuz NEIL PEART PWNS!!!

haven't done that yet, im sure i will soon though

 

 

I am constantly drumming on my desk with my pencil and hand, its ridiculous, every 5 minutes my teacher has to tell me to stop, and then i'll absentmindedly start doing it again.

 

today at the SAT, i started doing it, and the instructor gave me and insane DEATH STARE

When you take the LONG way home, just to finish listening to a 2.gif song on your iPod! 1022.gif

Guilty laugh.gif . . .

We've done that more times than I can remember. Tough call now though, with the cost of fuel so high.
