Let's just say the airflow is.... ahhhhhhhhhh titilating. So thanks for talking to us today. What qualifies you to speak to what genre of music Rush would fall into? My pleasure. I have a PhD in Music History from Yale University. Also my older brother started getting me into Rush when I was 12. It all started with Exit Stage Left... So as a scholar, what do you answer when people ask you "are Rush heavy metal?". Well first off Anthem, Cygnus X1 and 2112 are obviously country songs right? Joking! Rush has obviously had a long and storied musical career and have progressed wildly over the past four decades. Certainly, especially in the first half of their career they would strongly be considered heavy metal and then progressive metal. As a matter of fact several of my colleagues have researched and presented such facts in a myriad of books and documentaries. Do people still read? So what do you say to those that insist that Rush is not metal? Maybe these people were born in the 90s and have limited exposure to genres of music? With all the kids nowadays listening to rap influenced mallcore , it might be very hard to grasp what was considered metal back in the late '60s and early '70s, when heavy metal was truly born. The next generation will probably argue that Black Sabbath and Slayer are not metal, just because they never set off atomic weaponry at concerts and didn't shoot dead babies out of cannons like future bands will probably do. Kids nowadays... Tell us something about yourself that not many people know. I may seem very confident but I have a couple weird phobias actually. I always feel like someone is following me and I am also terrified of large reptiles. Favorite Rush experience? Ask me again in 11 minutes. Let's head to your car and listen to The Garden first. Rowwwr. Woohoo!     Hey, is that Godzilla humping a building behind her? Huh?! Godzilla? WTF are you talking about Willis?!
