Show Don't Tell Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I appreciate the props to Rush; though I wasn't super impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Find me a band that hasn't covered Tom Sawyer. Then I'll be impressed. Also, it's possible that Imagine Dragons' mentality is that they're merely covering a hit song, not a Rush song.The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, the Grateful Dead, Marillion, Neil Young, Chilliwack, and Devin Townsend, are bands that haven't covered Tom Sawyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudbuytjane Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Check out Silver Sun doing Xanadu. Now that is a cover!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3bB2IkBHiE I had to come back this morning to be sure I hadn't dreamed this last night. Wow. That was unexpected, and weirdly enjoyable? In a "whoa, did someone drop acid on me?" kind of way? ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate2112 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I honestly thought it was great. All this bullshit about it not having talent and all is utter crap. They pulled it off well. My music is 99% based in pop. I mix it with everything including Black Metal. The two most polar opposite genres ever. I love it, I thought it was great. Just because they play a genre you don't like doesn't make them talentless. I'd like to see you up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged Lent's sis Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The name of the band alone makes them sound like a parody of some genre or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerxster Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I appreciate the effort, and the light show was cool :), even if it sorta fell apart at the end. I must say, I've never heard a 'Beatles' type reaction to a Rush song. That was fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I was all excited about Imagine Dragons concert. Then one of my friends told me that he didn't care for them. He compared the band to Fraggle Rock. That said, I decided not to buy tickets to their concert. I'm fickle. I care too much about what other people think.

On a serious note, I never heard of Imagine Dragons until a few weeks ago when they kept popping onto my YouTube ads. Are these guys like the current big thing in "mainstream" rock at the moment?

Supersyl Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 ♫ Welcome to the New Age, Welcome...♫ euh...no...Just go away..... Not even gonna watch... To their credit they DO play instruments, and all switch around on various drumkits, live... But I can't stand that song anymore after hearing the commercial about 100 times per hockey game for the last 2 months, here in Canada.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I think Rush covers are cool for the most part, although I couldn't get half way through this one. Maybe they should try YYZ or LA Villa or Mal Nar....if you get my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
