D3strukt Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Some Rush is VERY metal. Hemispheres is f***ing METAL, Sabbath balls to the wall metal. Especially Prelude. I don't consider them NWOBHM Metal. Just classic metal. And only their 70's stuff. And possibly VT and add CA to that mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastille Dave Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 well, thanks to that link I just watched about 45 minutes worth of Meth Minute 39 videos. Kinda stupid but kinda funny too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriGuy Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I wouldn't listen to a Justin Bieber song if you paid me. I own all 20 studio albums. But since I don't think Rush is "metal," that makes me a Bieber fan? When I think metal, I think incoherent screaming and dark, angry lyrics, nothing like Neil's writing and Geddy's singing.

Oakhugginghippie Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 As a former metalhead, I think Rush is quite "metal" compared to other prog rock bands I've heard. I never got into Pink Floyd or Yes and that's why I've been ignorant about Rush for so long, because I had no interest to dig deeper to that kind of music. Some examples of things Rush shares with metal music: -big, heavy sound -individualistic attitude, integrity as the highest value -"art as expression"; not preaching political messages, getting girls, money or such things That's what I liked about metal and also like about Rush. So to me Rush is "metal" in that positive sense. Because in no other genre you can find those features. But it's still metal as an adjective, not the ultimate definition, so both sides are right in their own way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know what METAL is! Like most METAL haters you've never really listened to it! Except for RUSH of course! You're a METAL monger and you don't even know it! You're a METAL freak in denial! And anymore anti-metal comments and claims will only confirm you're in denial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh they're METAL alright... Maybe...Metal for me is Maiden, Priest, Metallica through 87, Iced Earth...Rush is much more directional than those bands. Don't get me wrong...I love metal. Oh, Sabbath and Purple too. I guess Rush has there metal moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazyyz Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Now, no. In it's heyday, perhaps because there was little metal to compare it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
