GeddyLeeFender Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Seriously? Rush will never win a Grammy, especially in 2012. Im thinking that shit pop song, "Call me, Maybe" will most likely win the grammy Music nowadays is literally disgraceful and makes me feel sorry for the future of humanity.

Barchetta82 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Much as I would love to see the boys win a Grammy, I highly doubt it will happen. They are by no means mainstream enough to even warrant a glancing nod. But that's fine by me - I can't stand 99% of the stuff that does win Grammy awards, lol.

JohnnyBlaze Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 QUOTE (vital signz @ Jun 1 2012, 10:36 PM) If you played the first 30 seconds of each Rush song all the way back to The 80's I doubt there would be such a reaction from each of us to what we are hearing from Walmart here and even more interestingly, Chris's (MiTA) compilation of how incredible this sounds and how well the songs flow given the theme and intros to each song. It is more exciting to me to hear this than any other album I can remember. Maybe it won't happen, but I am predicting, yes, even with just these soundbites, that this album, with its theme and awesomeness that we are getting a peek into the window, will get a Grammy nod, and hell could win the best Rock Album of The Year. I think the Grammy Awards are largely a joke mind you, but Rush may actually get something they have deserved all the way back since YYZ lost out on best instrumental to The Police's Behind My Camel. I think they will clean up in all possible Awards out there this year. This Clockwork Angels Tour will be unbelievable. Think of the possibilities with the theme here. You're on acid.

vital signz Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Ok all you naysayers. Lets revisit my thread. I still say there's a big f***ing shot at this. This album is awesome. In fact, the whole damn record is simply a masterpiece. Compared to anything in two decades, its their best. Every listen is that much better. Christ this record is unbelievable.

It's a pleasant thought, but I still say you're really reaching here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyLeeFender Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Think of who votes for the nominees, taking into account their shit taste in music and you will realize that Rush will sadly never win a Grammy.

Merely Space Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I admire your enthusiasm, Vital Signz, but you are making the assumption that the Grammies somehow involve justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdog2112 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) The new Van Halen album got nothing but stellar reviews, the fans love it, and at least as of the last time I checked around six weeks ago it was the second best selling new album of this year (which still isn't saying much) behind a compilation. Van Halen is way more mainstream than Rush is and I'd argue even they won't have a chance to get noticed by the Grammys. Rush will be flat out ignored simply because of who they are and the album likely won't even get a listen. It's just the way it is. Besides, I think anybody but Rush fans would say it sounds just like all their other records. Edited June 5, 2012 by snowdog2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
