Rutlefan Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Since ATWAS. Older brother brought it home. It joined The Song Remains the Same in a dual obsession. With AFTK Rush reigned supreme. Until PoW at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That One Guy Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Probably been done five times previous, but what the hell. How many years have you been Rushing? Since mid-2008 for me; that faithful day my mom's best friend threw Snakes and Arrows on my iPod, slowly leading Rush to 'favorite band' status, concerts, and forum membership! How about you?Woah my buddy showed me some songs from S&A around the same time. That's what turned me.Sounds so weird on TRF to say "Snakes and Arrows got me into Rush" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) One weekend night in 1977 I caught them on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert - I was 9 or 10, and enjoying my favorite thing to do - staying awake into the wee hours of the night watching horror films and bands I first saw 'em live in 1980 - it was akin to a spiritual experience . .

coventry Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Since 1989, when a little twerp of a roommate in a summer school in France played Moving Pictures and made me read a copy of Drummer World (or something like that) that had Neil's PW drum ad in it. I had literally never heard nor seen anything like it. http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/coverpics/ModernDrummerDec1989ludwigad.jpg Edited December 5, 2015 by coventry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw AFTK on Don Kirshner. I freaked out. If I had seen Xanadu I would have had a stroke. Yeah, perfect Saturday night for a twelve year-old: seeing Rush on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, followed by Gargoyles (the '72 movie) or The Omega Man on the Midnight Movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch The Mystery Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 This is my R30 year :) Power Windows was the first Rush vinyl I got back in 1985. I already owned a mixtape - recorded by chance from a Dutch radiostation that aired an hour long Rush special in the fall of 1985 - containing several PoW, GUP, Signals & MP tracks before I got the PoW vinyl for Christmas back in 1985. I was 16 when I heard them on that radioshow. TCE was the first song on that show. Wow! I fell in love straight away: it was love at first sound.

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.

When people say that they are the soundtrack to their lives they really mean it. I know I've said that myself a few times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too funny. Cranking rush and watching creepy movies were the good old days for me too. Creature feature! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
