I am confused- does a kitten lapping milk mean you agree or disagree? I always thought of Rush as Hard Rock, stoner rock, soft rock at times, but never metal at all. Wonder what Cliff Burnstein thinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 They definitely have had their moments. And they are in a particularly heavy period of their existence. But I don't think they are metal right now. Just heavy progressive rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I'd say Caress of Steel certainly has metal. Listen to The Necromancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godeater2112 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) People are allowed opinions such as whether you "like" or "dislike" new Rush. Some thing are facts though, such as for example, "Rush has gone through periods of being a metal band". This certainly applies to the first 8 studio albums and more specifically they are grandfathers of progressive metal. It's a fact. I'm a life long Rush + metal maniac but don't just take my word for it. People dedicate their lives to the history and legacy of heavy metal and all would certainly agree that while metal encompasses a surprisingly broad scope of music, Rush is undoubtedly part of that ecosystem. Whether it is: - Sam Dunn's documentary "A Headbanger's Journey" that I'm sure most of you have seen - Ian Christie's BIBLE on heavy metal history "Sound of the Beast" one of the better books I have read in years http://www.soundofthebeast.com/ - The bible on prog metal "Mean Deviation" by Jeff Wagner that I am currently reading, a fascinating read by the way and even features a photo of Rush on the back cover and has each section of the book itself titled from Rush lyrics... http://www.bazillionpoints.com/progress/ Trust me kids is most certainly metal, it's a fact!

beherit Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Rush has influenced metal more than most metal bands, but that still doesn't make them first and foremost a metal band...Cream and Jimi Hendrix had a lot to do with heavy metal, but they're not metal (although I'll grant Rush is definitely more metal than those bands) Rush have some shit I'd consider metal, and they have a lot of shit that's really heavy, but I wouldn't call them a metal band.
