I say Geddy didn't insult anyone. He could have said they were shitty but he was nice and said "they were shitty to listen to" which makes it just his personal opinion.. Can't fault a guy for that.

 

..Especially when he's talking about such a shitty band haha

I hope you read this and laugh more at them. I wish you and alex and Mr Peart would be able to piss on there tombstones someday soon. They are a worthless band and draws about 12 people to a show on a good night, RUSH RULES and The runaways should be found missing on a milk carton. They should "Runaway from your mega cool songs in shame. Do they get there songs from Britneys spears writers ? JOAN JETT YOUR A UGLY drunken waste of space black haired WHORE and i will live to take a piss on your grave god willing and one more thing Kiss my ass Joanny :moon: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Broons bain

From Rush is a band:

 

http://www.rushisaband.com

 

 

 

 

Geddy Lee also finally addresses claims by

The Runaways

 

 

that Rush were jerks to them when they opened for Rush back in 1977, as was dramatized in the movie biopic

The Runaways

 

 

. Jett said the following in a

2010 interview with JAM! Music

 

 

:

 

 

... Joan Jett says members of Rush were anything but polite Canucks when the Runaways opened for them in the 1970s. In the new film biopic about the band titled The Runaways, Jett (played by Kristen Stewart) is derided by an unidentified rock group they're opening for. She later retaliates by breaking into their dressing room and urinating on one of their guitars. Jett doesn't hesitate to identify the real-life inspiration for the scene. "Rush! They sat on the side of the stage and laughed at us," Jett says. "That sort of stuff pisses me off." ...

 

 

Here's what Geddy had to say about it:

 

 

 

"The Runaways had a ginormous chip on their shoulders. I remember that show. We had trouble with our gear so our soundcheck got delayed and The Runaways never got one. But we were always good to whoever was opening for us. We had no bias against them because they were girls - none of that bullshit. I know they said that we were laughing at them when they played, but quite frankly they were too shitty to listen to. And 40 years later they have a story to tell about it. Who knew?"

 

 

 

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

 

So I decide to read a bit about The Runaways on Allmusic.com, and I look at their last album released in 1987 titled "Young and Fast". Looking at the song credits, it states there's a song on the album titled "King of the Neighborhood" that is written by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson!

Did anyone else know about this?

Sorry if I'm late to the party.

 

Clem

I don't buy that that is a real Geddy quote. Unless it is sourced, I find it suspect. The fact that he says "ginourmous" is not enough for me. Either way, it don't mean much t' me.

The biggest riffs between bands and even within band are usually the most stupid little things that get blown out of proportion,

Could we stop with the insulting comments already :boo hiss: . Yes the Runaways were not so hot but two of the band did go to do better things. Someone just want to stir the pot for fun and this ain't fun to read :eyeroll: Edited by Rhyta

Agree some of the comments are beyond necessary to get the point across..However at the same time,you should search youtube and see "Cherie Currie on Rush" .Might find some of the comments here appropriate, after hearing her moronic drivel. :boohoo: :boo hiss: Tried to post one here , but lately been having problems posting youtube clips on TRF.
