rocket ignites Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Great post Lucas.I am thankful. Thankful for Ged, Alex, and Neil...it sounds silly, but it can't be overstated how much joy the music of :rush: has given me over the years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 This morning was enough for me on here. i have no patience for someone complaining about complainers. I agree. Can we please stop complaining about complaining?First of all do we know fo'sho that Geddy's voice is Tai Shan? Maybe the break wil have done his voice well. Matters not to me much I'm seeing the band in Tulsa on night one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicHead Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Ironically enough, DLP, the only complaints I've seen on here so far are coming from you. :o 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 A lot of the people that complain are people who have been fans since the 70's and 80's. I guess it makes them sad to see that touring really is coming to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkPrattLerxst Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Can we please stop complaining about Ged's aging voice? He's in his 60s, cut him some slack. It's what touring for 40 years does to you. Everyone's voice ages. Just be glad they're still touring. We "complain" (really make non-rose-colored-glasses-observations) about Ged's voice to bring the universe back into balance after some fanboy or another says he sounds just fine. I'm not saying it's still like it was in the 70s/80s, there are obvious flaws. I'm just saying that for his age it isn't bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there was that break in 90's right aboot when life was busy anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 70's era of Rush produced great music, but these guys didn't "peak" just 7 years into recording. Clockwork Angels is the total package. Gimme the latest studio album anyday. Vocal wise Geddy SLAYS it on every song. True to form in the classic sense. Edited April 25, 2015 by Tombstone Mountain 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone's voice ages. Just be glad they're still touring. It's ingrained knowledge, but when anyone points out that Geddy, Alex, or Neil is in his 60's, I'm still taken aback a bit. I mean, to do what they do (and soon will be doing) at their age, and to do it as well and with as much enthusiasm, is incredible. If any of my bodily expressions are as good as geddy's voice when I hit my mid-60's, I;ll be quite happy. Not to mention him being able to run around stage for 2-3 hours carrying a bass. At 63. For months at a time. And still have fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
