Barry Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 On our way home from dinner tonight my 9 years old son (middle of my 3 boys) asked if I could put o "War Paint" for the drive home, which I did. we both sang it together all teh way home. He then told me that Spirit of Radio is his favorite Rush song, 2112 is his second favorite and that War Paint is is third favorite. I couldn't be prouder of the brainwashing job I have done on my boys :-) I had to share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Bay Rush Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 When my youngest daughter was only about 4, she could recite and precisely rap along to the rap section in Roll The Bones. She's 23 now and she still does it. Darn Rush kids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Awesome! My 14 year-old pulled out Clockwork Angels when his friend was over last night and they sat there in silence from beginning to end. And that was after choosing it for the car ride that morning. He'll be seeing shows 7 and 8 next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My oldest son, is almost 14, and plays guitar (like me). He is does really well in school (90's and above) and he is in a band, singing and playing lead guitar. Rush and Van Halen are pretty much all he listens to! I took him to see Rush on the Time Machine tour, and to see VH at MSG this past March...he's going this Saturday night with me to see Rush in Newark...but he doesn't know it yet! (there's a thread about it HERE if you want to know more). Cant wait to see the look on his face when he finds out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Took my 16 yo to see the boys in Mpls. last month. He's been doing nothing but listening to all their songs since and has even ranked their entire catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirteen Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) My 4 year old son loves jamming to By-tor and the Snow dog with me. I play the guitar and he rocks out on the......piano! haha. Whenever he wants to hear By-tor he says "put the song with the bird on it" (meaning the Fly by night owl).

Cygnus 2112 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I love how you guys are all taking about taking your kids to see RUSH. I'm 22 and I had to take my dad on a road trip to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put Power Windows on in the car on the way home last Sunday and when Marathon came on she goes "OHHH! I LOVE THIS ONE!!" and then sang the whole thing. She also really likes Territories and Mystic Rythms. And although Roll the Bones is one of her favorite RUSH songs of all time, she can still sing something like Cygnus or Coldfire which is a great range.

scooter6849 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 My two boys are now 22 & 20 . Both have been educated in all things ' Rush' from birth . The only downside to this is it now costs me a small fortune to take them to the gigs , but i will take to my grave the look on their faces when the mighty Canadian threesome opened up with 'The R30 Overture' Priceless...

Ancient Ways Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Been listening to CA a lot lately. Tonight my 5 yo daughter asked me to "turn that up." I asked her if she liked the song and she said yes. The songwas Halo Effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonzbear2000 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) It's always so great to see parents getting their kids into one of the greatest bands that ever existed! When I was around 13 or so, my dad played A Show Of Hands for me and of course, I loved what I heard! I then saw 2112 in his album collection and was again blown away!

This typically lasts until around age 14 when they realize it is no longer cool to listen to the same music as your parents do. My 15-yr old, who can play bass, lead guitar, and drums, has migrated over into Metallica, Slipknot, and Lamb of God. Rush is still on the list, but is currently tied for third with Lamb of God.
