ozzy85 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Since high school. A friend gave me a couple of cassettes to check out. Signals was the new one at the time, (which was good) but 2112 really stuck with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KW84 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 13 years since 2002. I have seen them every tour since Vapor Trails and met my boyfriend of 13 years on the old Rush.com forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Love the 70s horror Nothing will ever touch 70's and early 80's Horror. Speaking of, Hellraiser and Phantasm are two of my favourite movies. awesome !! Phantasm is in a league of its own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctbadger Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 This poll just shows that there are a bunch of old farts that like Rush. It only makes sense that old farts would love a trio of old farts. ;) We've all become old farts together. It is a wonderful thing to grow old along with a band you love. I'm not referring to myself with Rush, but for many of you. You started out with them when you and they were kids. :dweez: <----------------Even Alex could move like that once. And now, you are all being sure to ask for your 10% senior discount wherever it is available. :codger: :LOLsign: Just over 3 years until I can apply for AARP to get those sweet senior discounts!

mitten Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 1978 - Big boys at school got me into 2112, bought the LP then saw Tour of the Hemispheres at Hammy Odeon a year later. It's been all downhill since then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day of Light Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I think I officially became a Rush fan yesterday when I walked into an actual, physical, record store to buy a live rush dvd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ru_ready Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Well this is an interesting question. It was the Hemispheres album that I discovered Rush, and after that had to go backwards listening to the older stuff... Die hard fan in early 80's up to GuP album.. however never stopped listening to the band, but if i was not following them and their post GuP albums, am I still a dedicated fan?

grep Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 April 15, 1981 is when I heard Limelight for the first time. "Who the hell is this??" I was 14. But before then, I'll tell you a story. 76 and 77, we used to live across the street from a park... and sometimes in the nights people would blast this 'space music' out of their cars in the park. My parents would call the cops to complain. But I always liked it. Thought the music was cool. Well wouldn't you f***ing know it... after 1981 I came to know it was 2112. LOL. So in my mind, I've been a fan since 1976, at 9 years old. Even though I didn't know who they were, I dug the sounds. :) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeze Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Rush soon became my favorite band after being introduced to them in the late 80's. From around 1990 I have been a huge Rush fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
