Pars123 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Don't we all just "love" that "amazing" and "smart" magizines? I would only buy it for when I run out of toilet paper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FountainOfSyrinx Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 DMB at 25.. Love to see my second fave up there. The Music Radar poll from a couple years back is all you need to know, Rush as the #1 Live Act touring today. I believe that to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Kanye West (oh, I mean Jimi Hendrix ) at #20 ? enough said. Don't bother looking at this poll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The reality is it should be: Rush Makes #1 of the Must See Live Bands I wouldn't say #1 but definately in the top 5! Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, RUSH, Genesis and U2 for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calirush Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 U2 is on my bucket list. I almost saw them in the eighties but had to choose one show I could afford at the time and chose Prince on the Purple Rain tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Four decades into their career, Geddy, Alex and Neil still put on the same kind of incredible show that destroyed pot smoke-clogged arenas back in the Seventies, mixing oldies like "The Spirit of Radio" and "Subdivisions" big chunks of their excellent 2012 album Clockwork Angels. Neil Peart, now 60, remains the single greatest drummer alive and guitarist Alex Lifeson is almost as versatile and powerful as the dude sitting at the massive kit behind him. "Every song rates a standing ovation," says Metallica manager Cliff Burnstein.Showstopper: Rush don't play a single song from the 1970s during their main set, but in the encore they bust out three sections of their 1976 magnum opus 2112. Well, Rolling Stone does think Matt Taibbi is a competent "journalist" so cut it some slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 39th...Wow!!! :moon: :moon: Thanks RS :moon: :moon: Unless I'm reading that wrong, I think it means Rush is listed 39th out of 50..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though this thread has been up for a while, since I am bored, I decided to check out the list. I can't even criticize the list cause I haven't heard of half of them.....

Xanadoood Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) I'm going to defend R.S here for a minute.. I think many of us are forgetting that the old school rock journalists from the 70s/80s are gone.. The props they are giving Rush in recent years are genuine IMO.. It's the changing of the guard.. I'm guessing a majority of the writers grew up with Rush and get it.. Edited November 24, 2013 by Xanadoood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 lester bangs is dead, and christgau, dave marsh, jon landau and other "the only good music is springsteen, the clash, and elvis costello" types aren't relevant anymore. I'm sure there are a few rush fans who write for RS now. keep in mind, it's not the magazine itself that hated rush. it was the individual reviewers. it just so happened that most of the prominent rock critics during the 70s and early 80s were older than the guys in rush, and never really liked prog rock or heavy music to begin with. I think rolling stone's a shitty magazine, yes, but it's not the magazine itself that hates a band, it's the magazine's staff. rolling stone gave the first two zeppelin albums negative reviews, and gave mostly positive reviews for their other records. different journalists have different opinions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
