Cygnus_X1 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I am also 16! I didnt realize there were so many younger fans here You try finding someone who can appreciate progressive rock with out saying "change the song will you? Its gone on for far too long..." here in rural England. Its becoming increasingly difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course The Boys are only about ten years older than me so... But it's great to see that some of our young people actually have some musical sense. There may be hope for the future after all. So true GG! Just to clarify...I'm not 41. Being a woman, I tend to cling to every year before giving it up, kicking and screaming... No offense, Ghost of a Rider, but when I saw "GG" and "41" in the same post, I had to respond... That being said...I was 14 once...almost 19 years ago. No skin off my teeth. I understand how women are about their age. Personally, I don't understand why but it doesn't matter, one day you will be 41. And you'll still be a Rush fan anyway so that's not so bad. Listening to Rush is great for smoothing out those pesky age wrinkles. Better than Oil of Olay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geddy05 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hello, all, I'm new here but I've been a fan for about 6 years (so far). I'm 11 years old and have been a fan since I was about 5 years old (seriously). The very first Rush song I heard was Xanadu. Not too shabby, huh? Anyway, nice to be in the neighborhood!

I must say... Most people my age im around a lot have horrible taste in "music"... Why does everybody think that some guy at a turntable and his "homie" talking fast is music?! Makes my music taste buds hurt... Anyways, thanks for the warm welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought "Maybe it's just because you're older and it's a different generation, (which is true), and you don't understand it". But upon reflection I'm convinced that most of them are no-talent brainless thugs. Oh well, the smart ones like us have Rush and that's all that matters.

thetrees Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 HEY fellow Rush fans of my generation....im 20 and i became a fan about 4 or 5 years ago. it is encouraging to see other fans my age out there, because they dont exist around here, seemingly anyway!! i think that Rush fans of our generation should all relate heavily the the lyrics of Subdivisions because the message is toward us if you think about it, i often pretend the the lyric is speaking directly to me: ......the restless dreams of YOU!!!!

Superbaldguy Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Glad to have found this forum! It is wonderful to see teenagers getting into the band's music, a far cry from from most of the crap they listen to these days. Goes to show you that quality musicianship is universal for old and young, alike. I started listening to Rush in 1980 as a 17-year-old when "Permanent Waves" was released; I soon had all their previous LP's (the good old days) and was hooked. Although that was 25 years ago, I always eagerly await any new Rush recordings. I'm totally amazed these guys are still going gangbusters after all these years and still want to produce when many rock bands their age have either stopped playing or are old geezers and sound like it..........Not Rush! Keep up the good work, my young friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
