By what I can tell on this forum many of you are younger and have no problem with this, but you know what, Rush became popular during the 70s. Us older fans went to their shows, bought their albums, t shirts and tour books. Had a great time. This all came to a head when Moving Pictures came out and Rush was king. Record sales through the roof. All was well in Rushworld. Signals came out and was great and then they get the bright idea to not use Terry Brown and start dropping their epicness for a bunch of lame 80s records and set list that started the trend of completely ignoring their past along with a segment of their fan base, you know, the ones they gained their popularity on. It's very insulting to do this to the fans that got them there, but apparently there are other generations after who seem to love their post 1985 stuff. That's fine, I just think that Rush could put aside 45 minutes in their set list to please the older fans. After all that is the least they could do and they #!#@%ing know it. Instead they take the "This is what we are going to do and we can care less about the fans" attitude. O.K. fine. I give up. I will not be going to this show.

Metaldaddy would never have the balls to call me a "little queen" to my face. I promise you. He'd be picking up his teeth in a second. What is this shit talk? It's called defending myself. I never once said a word to this guy but obviously hurt his feelings enough for him to call me a "little queen" Just stating a fact - he would never say this to me in person without regretting it. Surprised to hear Rush fans talk this way. Not really par for the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PocketfullofSilver Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 QUOTE (tullfan @ Sep 9 2012, 06:23 PM) Rush gives their 70s fans a middle finger on the CA Tour. With ticket prices averaging $100.00 + this is what they do ? By what I can tell on this forum many of you are younger and have no problem with this, but you know what, Rush became popular during the 70s. Us older fans went to their shows, bought their albums, t shirts and tour books. Had a great time. This all came to a head when Moving Pictures came out and Rush was king. Record sales through the roof. All was well in Rushworld. Signals came out and was great and then they get the bright idea to not use Terry Brown and start dropping their epicness for a bunch of lame 80s records and set list that started the trend of completely ignoring their past along with a segment of their fan base, you know, the ones they gained their popularity on. It's very insulting to do this to the fans that got them there, but apparently there are other generations after who seem to love their post 1985 stuff. That's fine, I just think that Rush could put aside 45 minutes in their set list to please the older fans. After all that is the least they could do and they #!#@%ing know it. Instead they take the "This is what we are going to do and we can care less about the fans" attitude. O.K. fine. I give up. I will not be going to this show. The first Rush tour I will miss since the Hemispheres Tour. I was a diehard and they threw fans like me under the bus. I'm sick of it !!!!!!!!!!! Must be nice making tons of money playing a bunch of songs some of us don't want to hear, oh and by the way, make sure no one steals your t-shirt money Rush because you don't make any on the concert ticket. Give me a #$@%ing break. I am 41 and have been listening to Rush since I was 12 (Thank God for older brothers with good taste for music). I have to call sour grapes on this post. Would I love to see them play 2112 in its entirety? Hell yes, but I know it is never going to happen again. Hell my favorite Rush song ever is In the End, in fact I love it so much it was the song my wife and I had our first dance to! However, they are never going to play that either. Fly by Night is never coming back, Bangkok, Bastille Day, Hell I would give a kidney for Fountain of Lamneth! The reality is Geddy cant hit those notes anymore, plain and simple. I dont think Neil ever wants to play La Villa again either, I was incredibly supreised when they played it last tour and I knew it was most likely the last time I would see it. The boys are in their 60s now, be grateful they are even touring at all. They have reached the place all of us are envious of: They can work on what they want, when they want. We should all be so lucky and not begrudge them for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Songs like Xanadu and Cinderella Man feature Ged vocals in a relatively low register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
