Dylan2712 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 "The band Rush got their name because they were in a rush to pick a name before their first gig." https://twitter.com/OMGFacts/statuses/174660330646016001 this is the first i've heard of the origin of their name, it wasn't even mentioned in BTLS film or the bonus features. if this is false, does anyone know the real story? i apologize if this has been brought up before.

Draco Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 If memory serves me right, I believe it was John Rutsey's brother (or someone's brother) that named Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexmai Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I allways translate Rush as "running", in my mind... a group of people that run faster than the others to their goal, allways ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. This is just someone's best guess who doesn't know the truth. The truth is one of the guy's brothers or someone suggested it. It was short and sweet and also hinted towards a slight drug reference which made it kinda cool (they were teenagers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
