rushfanNlv Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 QUOTE (GeddyisGOD @ Jun 20 2007, 08:46 AM) I'm new to the board, but I see a lot of Rush bashing going on here, especially in relation to S&A. imo, the definition of a TRUE Rush fan is someone who has grown and evolved along with the band; someone who isn't still stuck on 2112 or "Tom Sawyer" as the pinnacle of Rush's career. Imo, Rush CAN DO NO WRONG -- I love some songs and albums more than others, but overall, I love EVERYTHING they do. Now THAT is a TRUE Rush fan. I realize that not everyone will love everything the band does, and that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But if you're on these forums hating on Rush, then you are not a TRUE fan. So, now that I'm done my little rant, what is your definition of a TRUE Rush fan? I kind of felt the same way when I first got here. I thought, how the hell can someone who likes Rush enough to join a Rush forum not like Counterparts for example but I soon realized that these guys are just as much a Rush fan as I am, they just have inferior taste. Just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godeater2112 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Jun 20 2007, 12:51 PM) After wading through 3 pages of this, I have reached the following conclusion: A true Rush fan is anyone who considers themself to be a true Rush fan. Period. To paraphrase Tyler Durden: You are not your Rush CD or DVD collection. You are not the number of Rush shows you have seen. You are not your post count on TRF. You are not your t-shirt, button, tourbook, hat, poster, or any other kind of swag collection. You are not your Rickenbacker 4001, your Gibson ES-335, or your DW drumkit. You are a true Rush fan if your answer to the question "are you a Rush fan?" is "yes". You are not your Rush CD or DVD collection. Oh well lots of other people probably have them all also You are not the number of Rush shows you have seen. Thank goodness I barely seen them a dozen times I'd be sunk versus lots of people here You are not your post count on TRF. But but but... I got fired for that and it's no good?! You are not your t-shirt, button, tourbook, hat, poster, or any other kind of swag collection. Do picks and dragons count? You are not your Rickenbacker 4001, your Gibson ES-335, or your DW drumkit. _pete_ is it too late to get my money back for the Alex DEW replica strat I receive tomorrow? You are a true Rush fan if your answer to the question "are you a Rush fan?" is "yes". Oh thank GAWD! I thought I was corn-holed for sure P.S. I'd let all three members simultaneously ravish my mum if it inspired them to write a great song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, now that I'm done my little rant, what is your definition of a TRUE Rush fan? I understand the spirit of your topic,and its really not all that different than one of my 1st posts here over 2 years ago.Though I would not seek to impugn others for their opinions.A point of contention for me would be that a true Rush fan does not have to like everything that they have ever done,only that they have some knowledge of everything they have ever done.Then we can argue the merits of Hold Your Fire,Presto,T4E etc. I'm never going to be able to convince someone that Chain Lightning is a great song,if they don't know what song I'm talking about.
