How can you hate Countdown? It alone beats any of the songs off of Moving Pictures, save Vital Signs

Uhhh... no. Just...

[In A Tidewater Surge]

No, Countdown is great.

Im not sure about that.... but it IS pretty good.

[ColdFireYYZ]

I don't hate Countdown, it is great and Signals is my favorite album. I do know some Rush fans who hate it though, but its great imo.

You know you are a Rush fan when you want to fly into the Toronto Airport simply because it IS YYZ.

Or when half the reason you're excited about going to England with your school drama group over spring break is because you will get a luggage tag en route that says YYZ. Guilty.

you enjoy that the bus stop your son uses at university is at the Natural Science building.

[Kublakhan94]

You get excited because the local church has freewill in the name.

[aakira]

you don't mind having the tunes playing over and over in your head

 

I have had Time Machine On The Brain going full throttle since Sep 23rd and I think if I wasn't hearing at least one of their songs playing in my head, I'd go into some kind of withdrawal.

 

Who needs an IPod?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

Freewill in a church's name, now that is just too funny considering the lyrics of the song! And aakira, I know the feeling, Sept. 2nd was my first show and I want nothing more than to relive it over and over! Edited October 25, 2010 by 1 of the 7

You know you ARE a Rush fan when:

 

You are on the road driving and Limelight starts playing on the radio. You crank the volume up, start singing at the top of your lungs, and air guitar whenever possible as well as air drumming the drum parts. When you reach your destination and Limelight is not over, you stay in your car singing, air guitaring, and air drumming till the song is over, not caring one bit about what onlookers may think.

 

Yup, I did that two days ago

[Snow-Dog2112]

when your mowing the lawn and you stop just to air drum kick ass parts

[NobodysHeroine]

You know you're a Rush fan when you are focusing on a task, think you hear someone say something about Rush or Geddy Lee and say: "Where?!"

 

That has happened to me a few times.

 

At one point my phone had exactly 2112 minutes. I was like, "Yeah! Rush phone!" My fandom shined through.

 

And yet another time, during the Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage documentary, Neil was speaking about his journey as the Ghost Rider. He said, "...and with Carrie's [his wife's] help," and I gasped. That's my real name, just with a different spelling. I'm so much of a Rushian that I think, for a split second, that Neil is talking about me.

 

I wish.

You know it, baby!!

Hehe, my name IS spelled Carrie...and I capitalize on references to the horror book/movie It IS funny to see it come up in reference to Neil's wife!

 

I often go out to my car and listen to Rush on my lunch break, and every once in a while I get so absorbed that I don't notice the person walking by on the sidewalk staring until it's too late. I have to just smirk and keep on...

The other day a check at the restrant me and my dad was eating at said 2112 and I asked for it. He had no idea...

When you see the acronym GED and the first thing you think of is NOT the high school equivalency diploma (or whatever it is called).

[Spike]

When you see NEP, and think Neil Elwood Peart - instead of New England Patriots.

If you're the singer in a band, you use your nose to move the microphone rather than your hands or anything else.

Does he do that on the GUP dvd?

 

Youtube link please

 

I live in Toronto so anytime I go flying I get YYZ on the bags .

You know you're a Rush fan when you sit around trying to learn how to play the melodies --

on an Alto Saxophone.

 

(That's what happens when you don't know how to play guitar or bass.)
