GEDDY'S VOICE CANNOT DO WHAT IT DID 35 FREAKIN YEARS AGO True, but I gotta give up for Geddy. He still did a wicked job, and his voice isn't as gone as some may think.

ProfGumby Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) Ya, I was in a mood this morning...but some times things need to be said. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but after 700 threads of the same thing, I guess I felt I got to express mine.....and I do not direct the thoughts above to mere discussion of the stuff. We all know the difference between someone saying they would have liked to have heard "song" instead of "other song" vs the over the top critical fair weather fan. And I agree, I don't think the band has ever sounded better live and I wish I could sing like Geddy even on his worst day...alas, I can't carry a tune in a bucket.... (and I fixed the liver typo.... ) Edited July 19, 2010 by ProfGumby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the whining, complaining horse won't die...keep beating it. It is the same 5 or 6 'fans' that are the habitual repeat complainers. I understand the debating, opinions, expectations and freedom of speech thing. But some seem to go out of their way to complain about anything. Actually they usually wait for someone who is obviously very excited and proud to post something positive about their favorite band.... and bam!!... a negative troll shoots them down. We should appreciate, respect and love RUSH for what they are, not complain about what we think they should be. We will have their CDs for many years after RUSH is gone. A live performance is a special, even rare, event and should be remember for the joy it gave us and not for the disappointment someone else claims we should expect.

syrinxthrawn Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm with you. I'm thankful that they still produce new music and still tour. I'll keep going to shows as long as they keep playing. As far as the songs go . . . I don't care what they play. I'll go . . . and love it. There are far too many "fairweather" fans on this site. They disappoint me. I think some talk just to hear their own voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
