rushfr:CP Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 QUOTE (SyrinxTemple @ Mar 8 2008, 03:24 AM) David Spade Rich Eisen from the NFL Network And, Beck has the man in the star sticker on his guitar, so I'd assume he's a fan. Geddy Lee win http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1Jj6J9YvqM

Noisy Bastard Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I have read that Billy Joel is a big Rush fan. And I saw Jamie Foxx on "Inside The Actor's Studio", with James Lipton, and he mentioned he got turned on to Rush by his college roommate, and became a big fan. And here's a link to a previous similar thread: http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?show...=13500&st=0&hl= It has some other famous fans listed in it.

chicagorush Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I seem to have a recalled a bootleg tape of Billie Corgan (smashing pumpkins) doing an acouistic version of Limelight and Corgan sighting Rush as a big influence
Cobra611 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Corey Koskie, who most recently played with the Toronto Blue Jays, was a big Rush fan. He would have a Rush song played as he came to the plate.

robyyzpapa Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) I saw a picture with one of the kids from One direction was wearing a Presto T-shirt, while he was on a date with Taylor Swift. Edited January 13, 2013 by robyyzpapa

GeminiRising79 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Now its "cool"/acceptable to like Rush for many people, that's the problem. Where were these fuggers when it was too embarrassing for them to admit liking them? I had so many friends who used to either make fun of or spew derogatory statements about Rush, and to those who liked them as well. Many of the guys on this thread are those same spineless, popularity-contest-minded people. Edited January 13, 2013 by GeminiRising79
Rod in Toronto Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 While I couldn't think of anyone famous who has't been mentioned already, I just remembered Stewart Copeland's interview where he says he hated Rush although he's friends with Neil....

Jaminbenb Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 I saw an interview of the Barenaked Ladies, and they said they love Rush. Actually, they threw in the middle section of Tom Sawyer into their tune "Grade 9" on their first full length album... A "local" band (well to me) called +Live+ apparently were big Rush fans.

KoskieRandy JohnsonMark LangstonTim SalmonChip CarayJim Edmonds Don't forget about Gregg Zaun the former Jays catcher...had Limelight playing as he would go to the plate for his first at bat . A tribute to Geddy who was often seated just behind Home plate at the "then" Skydome.
