Bigbobby10 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 it depends what they are into, if they like heavy stuff, start right off with 2112, they will love it. If they like prog rock, put on something like Xanadu. if they dont really care, just play Moving Pictures for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hit them with "Cygnus X1" from A Farewell To Kings, "Anthem" from Fly By Night and "The Necromancer" from Caress Of Steel This is some serious sh!t, and you want to make sure they take notice right away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRushmonkey Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 http://m.wikihow.com/Become-a-Rush-Fan-for-Life :LMAO: Sorry, I just find this hilarious. Guide them 2112 and Moving pictures. I'm 15 and I feel the same, that no one knows who rush is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mother of all machines Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 14 here too, and trust me, its easier to find a unicorn than a rush fan at this age. The best people to share are drummers and bassists, if there are any at your school, also maybe someone who looks after a new kind of literature. I play bass and have a band, so i showed my drummer and he got fascinated, and even myself started playin bass because of them. Try also with anyone who likes some metal or prog rock, both will have easy acces to rush. Btw, stay high with that proud ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, show 2112 or Fountain for prog rock fans and maybe some Clockwork Angels or S&A for metal fans Edited July 20, 2015 by mother of all machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavesandWindows Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hey mate. I'm a high schooler too. I've got a few hooked through different songs. If they're into a pop sort of thing, show them something like The Pass, Closer to the Heart or Limelight. As mentioned before, Metalheads will go better with some S&A or CA. I've also found that some people gravitate more towards stuff like Rivendell and Tears more. Even got a fellow guitarist interested through Hope. For a drummer, apart from the obvious LVS or YYZ, show them Natural Science, and even Hemispheres. Again, all is subjective to who you're trying to get on your side. If you're a musician yourself, and others like your style, go ahead and do a cover to draw them in. Got a few of my mates interested through my covers of Shbdivisons and Closer to the heart, but even more so off of this one, a cover that I always play, of Bravado: Hope this helps-WavesandWindows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 When I was 14 it seemed like I was the only Rush fan at my school as well. Most everyone else was into Kiss, Van Halen and Molly Hatchet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanMeanPride Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 As much as we want others to like the same music we do, this isn't always possible. That said, if there is one album people generally think about when Rush is mentioned, it is Moving Pictures. I say start with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John V Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I go to a neighborhood bar. A hole in the wall. Older southern people mixed with a few transplants.The bar owner to my amazement had an internet juke box installed. Pretty much any music you could want.Several patrons know my love for Rush, as they have seen me in Rush apparel and know I go to the concerts.So, I played a couple Rush songs the other day.Most everyone around the juke box moved to the other side of the room.

J2112YYZ Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) I would say playing Limelight is a nice place to start. If they can't get into that song then they might not be able to be saved. Edited July 20, 2015 by J2112YYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WavesandWindows Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 There's a few of us younger ones out there Dennisa2112. Pockets of us. But, I'm only 17 now, I think I met another couple if younger guys here the other night (16). Don't worry, we're not all One Direction and Juston Beiber fans yet.
