ReflectedLight Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I read some of the music Neil listened to in his travels, but what groups or music is Alex and Geddy fond of??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHMAN999 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I suppose most of the bands that did the originals on feedback plus they must have personal favourites like us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Porschetta Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Alex probably likes Porcupine Tree since he guest stars on their new album. And they are both play on I Mother Earth albums. So there are two ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCFIELDS Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Apparently......Neil likes N'Sync....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshine Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Geddy used to be a big fan of Bill Bruford. Great taste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFrog Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I love Neil, but damn, that man has horrible taste in music. I assume that since Geddy and Alex are always credited with the music part of the writing credits that they listen to good music. So maybe it's a good thing Neil sticks to lyrics, or we'd be listening to a Rush that sounds like Britney Spears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 QUOTE (Earthshine @ Sep 2 2007, 04:54 PM) Geddy used to be a big fan of Bill Bruford. Great taste! I think I saw an old 1980's interview, that I think was on the Rush In Rio dvd where he mentioned lisening to Him, as well as all of Yes, and in that interview they mentioned Pink Floyd as well.

So maybe it's a good thing Neil sticks to lyrics, or we'd be listening to a Rush that sounds like Britney Spears. Thats a bit of an overstatment. Just because he listens to Pop, which I admit is kind of weird, dosen't mean he dosen't listen to music that "falls in with our tastes" plus the man is a huge Jazz fan, problbly more so than any other genere of music. He is a very talented musician, and has made major contributions to the music writing process, as well as the songwriting. Niel is a percussionist, not just a drummer. How many drummers out there have Orchrestial Bell, Chimes, Triangles, Gongs, or Temple blocks within one drum set? Or atleast had (now that it is all electronic, most of these are now programmed within his MalletKat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 How is it "weird" that he listens to some pop? I didn't know it was against the law to like music that doesn't sound like your own. In Travelling Music, he talks about Madonna and 98 Degrees. Whatever. I like Justin Timberlake. If Rush only listened to prog bands all the time, they would have never moved on from their '70s sound. And yes, I know there are some people on here who would have liked that.

BearFrog Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Let me state that, for the record, I have nothing against pop. Just god awful pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Porschetta Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Neil may like 98 Degrees, but he does like Mars Volta, Tool, Porcupine Tree, The Who, and if he still likes the music from his twenties, Yes, Pink Floyd, Talking Heads. So he does have a good taste. He just happens to like pop as well. If he keeps drumming like he does, then he can listen to whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-D-RocK- Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I wonder if after numerous takes in the studio, playing dozens of tour dates night after night, if they take a break from music altogether.....? My guess would be they probably do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they went through their police and some of the brit eighties bands phase,and a lot of fans could not cope with that,they were certainly listening to other bands,thats what quite a lot of us that listen to all types of music like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of a Rider Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I remember Geddy saying he liked The Cure and Enya on the Interview With Kings interview disc but that was a few years ago of course. I don't recall what other artists he mentioned. As for Neil, he seems to be a well rounded music listener although I can't get on board with Frank Sinatra. Alex? I have no clue.

Sounds like I'm a mix of Ged's and Alex's tastes... But I know that Neil likes The Mars Volta and Porcupine Tree as well. And I think they must like Primus; Alex had Les Claypool on his solo album, plus Primus opened for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
