I'm so glad they didn't want to stop performing a decade ago, because if they had I would never have become a fan, and I would have missed out on what turned out to be one of the most important bands of my life It saddens me that so many can't enjoy the band for what they are now, but I will go to my grave thankful for the persistence of :rush: Edited June 23, 2014 by GeddysMullet 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you name some names? Are any of the UK crew from the old CP board here now with new names? Plenty of them hate everything past MP... yet they still trolled CP constantly.

Lorraine Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Must fans be accused of "hating" the band because your musical taste differs from their own, or because you have a different opinion than they do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 oh come on, crybabies, you know exactly what I mean. to be honest, lorraine, you're probably closer to a cultist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I was just posing a simple question of which is more annoying - "rush are perfect, rush is god, rush is life, true fans love every album" or "So sad and pathetic to see them up there, struggling to make it through a show. Where are the kimonos? Why can't you sing about fantasy stories you read anymore? My hip hurts!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) before you play the victim yet again lorraine, what I mean is that you show more characteristics of a "fanboy" or "fangirl" than someone like JARG who believes the band should retire. you are enthusiastic, you post rush-related threads often, and from what I've gathered you seem to like most of their albums. and in JARG's defense, if I'd seen the hemispheres tour, I'd probably be on his side. and I find the suggestion that a person such as myself might touch a drug quite offensive!

toymaker Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) I don't know if I'd call either group "annoying"--people like what they like, and the reasons they like what they like are very complex. Depending on when a person started listening to Rush, he or she will have formed an opinion about what makes them unique. Albums or songs outside of that framework will sound strange, maybe. I think anyone who appreciates the craft of songwriting will likely find something to like if they listen with an open heart. (Maybe I should edit that last bit...I'm not trying to make anyone throw up.) Edited June 23, 2014 by toymaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like to challenge/argue/be a smartass/etc sometimes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 nah, you're just too friendly and likable for me to be too much of a prick to. JARG's a good dude, but he reminds me of a hard rock frasier crane sometimes. I don't think we could enjoy a beer together, let alone a nice glass of sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
