Katy Perry

Katy and her band are ridiculous. Just because they covered Rush doesn't make them any better, if anything it plummets them down even lower. This is just like when Miley Cyrus rode around on her bike wearing an Iron Maiden shirt. Iron Maiden fans weren't jumping up and down saying: "oh boy oh boy! Miley likes Iron Maiden so I like her now teehee!" they were saying: "that stupid b*tch, how disgraceful."

I think Miley Cyrus wearing an Iron Maiden tee shirt is an obvious attempt at being hip or cool, in other words, she's a poser. She wanted people to see the tee shirt.

 

I think with Katy Perry's band it was an in-joke. They probably thought it would be cool to reference and obscure Rush prog rock epic. 99% of the audience probably didn't even catch it. Hence, they weren't posing.

If they really were such loyal rock fans, they wouldn't be playing terrible music for katy perry and dressing up all fashionably in the first place. And if these guys are just in it for the money, (which they probably are) then they're sell out douche bags.. Any way you look at it, they lose, they're still pathetic little pop rockers no matter what.

God forbid a musician earns a living performing music, albeit worthless pop music. Personally, I hate the song, but if I was a working musician I wouldn't turn the gig down. I guess being a starving artist is more worthwhile.

Especially if your rock band eventually turns into another Def Leppard, watered down fizzy metal pop, reduced to doing duets with teen pop tarts...

Exactly. I can't believe all the hand-wringing and jaw-clenching over this.

 

Looks like we need the new Rush setlist ASAP.

Greg Howe is an awesome guitarist.   Justin should stick to acting.   Signed,   "Alpha Dog" Greg has also filled in for Jennifer Batten in Michael Jackoff's band and toured Europe with Enrique Iglesias... That guy gets around! Good for him. It's a paycheck and another gig for his resume.
