Bard Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) So I was being bullsh*ted all along aye? They must have just wanted the sign up fee and monthly dues and thought I would never catch on... :sigh: :| :) That's the only drawback to Rush shows. Whereas Van Halen or AC/DC or Aerosmith shows offer a wide array of past-their-prime overcooked middle-aged-crisis ex-rock-and-roll broads with old boob jobs and low cut concert spaghetti strap tees, Rush shows are one big Peart-worshipping man cave. With the occasional rare "dragged my girl along" chica sparsely scattered throughout the crowd. TRF ladies notwithstanding, of course. :D Edited May 19, 2015 by Bard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Rush will not retire after this tour.The chance of Rush touring without one of them is ZERO. Any true Rush fan knows that. Why would anyone want to see Rush performing without one of Lee, Lifeson and especially Peart? Are you really that needy?I like your post but do you really think they won't retire from touring after this one? I could see them recording more music but what we have come to know as them "touring" you don't think that will end?. To answer your last question I have a life and don't even "need" this tour... :codger: I think they will do a series of short residency gigs, say at Radio City Music Hall, or somewhere in London or in Europe. I think they just don't want the physical and mental grind of long multi city tours that they believe the fans expect. I know that the band wouldn't go out as Rush with any other member missing. I also know that one of the band suggested they could do residency gigs. There is only an outside chance of that....Alex musing about it, doesn't mean it's going to happen. Once Neil settles into actual retirement...given the kinda guy he is...nobody should expect him to come outta retirement. For anything. Even a one-night stand.If diehards don't start taking the hints, they're going to be more dissapointed than they ought to be. It's kinda weird, seeing so many people's feathers getting ruffled over Rush's retirement. Are you guys really that rabid about Rush perpetuating themselves until they can't stand up anymore? I don't get it. Let them rest. Sheesh. Sometimes it really does suck to be a rockstar and have fan expectations heaped on you. I'm not a Rush fanboy by any measure. As for the ruffling of my feathers, do me a f***ing favour. I think Rush have been mediocre at best since 1984 and should have retired 5 minutes before handing over Hold Your Fire for mastering. As for one off gigs, I'm pretty certain that Lee also said that might be the way forward. Oh, and don't try and speak for the band, that's needy fanboy territory bucko. What's your f***ing favor, fanboy? :) One has to wonder what you're doing on a Rush fan board if you haven't liked the band since 1984. I'm hardly speaking for the band. If you're in denial, that's your prog-rog-ative. As is using the term 'bucko.' LOL. :)I am pretty damn close to being in the same boat as Tony in this regard and I am here. Hell I never even listened to them from about 84' till Clockwork Angels came out. I did see them on the Vapor Trails and Snakes tours but I am still less of a fan than most here due to my checkered past with the band... :) Then what the hell are you doing here Narps? The bardcase says you shouldn't be on a Rush board if you haven't liked any new Rush since 1984.Just here for the women. Somebody told me there would be women here when I signed up.... ;) Haha! The ever elusive, possibly extinct entity known as...."A Woman at a Rush Concert." I cannot think of any band more a sausage fest than Rush. We space nerds are a unique crowd. ;)So I was being bullsh*ted all along aye?

Narps Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 What woman well past her prime would be stupid enough to go to a concert dressed like that?Not a woman of Rush I would think. Seems to me at least from what I have generally seen and the classy ladies here that you wouldn't find many of those in a Rush crowd. Its about the music for most I would think. I'll see what I see in Atlanta... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The classic hard rock skanks, though, are abundant and a little pitying, trying to relive their youth at the Motley Crue show. Still, there's something endearing about 'em. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah some dick liking the idea that Lee and Lifeson team up with that dick Portnoy and some other dick dickishly suggesting that Rush were one of the founders of Prog Rock (albeit in some other dick's thread) Oh and I'm the biggest dick. Something there for everyone to agree on. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
