rushfanNlv Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I used to do this to my older brother (who happens to be Drumnut) all the time. I would pop into his room and say "nah nah ni boo boo" attempting to start a fight with him. That was your intention right? Because I can't for the life of me understand why you would join a Rush forum to bad mouth the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCameraEye Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 QUOTE (drewb93 @ Jun 29 2007, 02:07 PM) QUOTE well, they aren't together anymore but they had a good run. from what i heard on this new Snakes tour fans are almost sleeping during the strectch of new songs in the second set. what does that say? It says most Rush "fans" don't appreciate good music and they don't appreciate that Rush is changing. There's nothing they can do about it, they can only "blow the way the wind blows" people are paying big money to go to these shows, so there probably aren't many casual fans going. i would say most of the fans at the shows are real fans. if your real fans are getting bored or restless, which is happening, what can you do? what does that say? i wouldn't be surprised if they change the second set to make it more appealing and less boring.

ReRushed Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 What is the purpose of threads like this? Okay, you think Rush are pretty much has-beens, fine. Don't listen to later period Rush and don't attend their concerts. There are plenty of remastered CDs and DVDs from the 70s and 80s you can listen to and watch. I understand and agree, to a point, the criticism of current Rush, but these threads are getting out of hand! They are still a vital and innovative band, albeit not necessarily mindblowing, but nevertheless good. They aren't resting on their past laurels like other old-timers that are touring this summer.

Sorry but the show I went to More fans were sleeping during a HYF song , a GUP Song etc. and a Signals Song -- Not wanting to post a Spoiler than any of the S&A material. The New Material was well received and Kicked Ass Live. Snakes is easily a top 5 Rush album for me the best in over 25 years (and there is nothing Pop about it) , I have been a fan since 1978 when I got 2112 , Hemis and AFTK.

The O' Sullivan Factor Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 All of Rush's albums are excellent (great at worst), I'm sorry you stopped liking quality music and good luck with living in the 70's. I'm gonna see Rush tommorow and I'm f*ckin' ecstatic to see the new material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priest_of_syrinx Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 QUOTE (TheCameraEye @ Jun 29 2007, 01:45 PM) Snakes you favorite? why? they have 10 albums that are easily better. but i guess that's your opinion. Because Snakes and Arrows has the most moments that send chills up my spine and the most strong songs. Moments that send chills up my spine: Armor and Sword Spindrift The Way The Wind Blows Hope VERY strong songs: The rest of them. I just love Snakes and Arrows... It is my first new Rush album, so that may be part of it, but I think part of it is that they just made an album that is musically everything I could ask for.

trenken Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 The last Rush album where I loved all of the songs on it was probably Power Windows. After that I felt like they started losing their edge, although there was still some gems to be found on each album after that, but I haven't loved an entire Rush album from start to finish since PW. I loved that they got back to their rock roots on Counterparts, but there was still some really lame songs on that album. And I've gone on record saying T4E is my most hated Rush album. The songs are just so bland and uninspiring. VT was cool because of some of the exploration they did on some of the songs, but the production quality is basically the worst ive ever heard by a signed band so I havent listened to that album in probably 3 years. I like tracks 1-8 on S&A, after that it takes a serious nose dive for me with a bunch of typical filler songs, and it doesn't really have a powerful ending either with We Hold On. It's an okay song, it just doesn't punch me in the face. Generally I like all their albums, but I still believe that 76-85 were their best years and they've never really been able to come close to that for me.

Windows is great too. love that one. some stellar bass playing on it. i think Counterparts is their best after Hold Your Fire, but it's still pretty bad except for a few songs. to me, that album looked a little like they were trying to get back their fire and creativity, but then they totally ran out of gas, and have been ever since then. it's too bad.
