Babycat Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Similar. Years ago in a full TRF chat room I asked the group to come up with a non-Rush group that EVERYONE knew and thought was okay or better. Metallica wasn't it because some disliked them. Same went for Iron Maiden, Queensryche, and Dream Theater. Tool, Mastodon, and King's X were disqualified because some didn't know of their music. There were several other bands mentioned and it kept happening that either they weren't liked or known by at least one person. In the end, the ONLY band we TRFers could find was Living Colour. Don't know how relevant they are today but they are still around and they certainly are talented musicians with good lyrics from time to time. Irony is, I've heard of everyone listed but not Living Colour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm the cult of... I'm the cult of..... PERSONALITY! That's me! LOLSaw them once right after the release of their second album. They played a free gig at the University of Florida's campus (my rival uni) with King's X opening. Was lucky enough to get way up at the front. Both bands were kick ass but Living Colour is in the outer space league of talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they were very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) They may not be close to what you are looking for - or, maybe they are - but I think Placebo are worth giving a shot Like RUSH, their music is all over the board ... the early Placebo is more out there and adventurous, and their more recent stuff is still well crafted, well written and executed but more acessable They've changed, and they are releasing something new soon .. Sadly, they just lost a fantastic drummer At times, Brian Molko does remind me of Geddy, esp in the early songs Recent: Older, and Geddy-ish Edited August 12, 2015 by Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
