Bard Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 So now Queen is metal too. Honestly, you don't deserve to be a Rush fan if you think Rush is heavy metal. Get the f**k out already. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAccountant Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I voted for the some songs but overall no option. I will pass on reading through 13 pages of posting, so pardon me if this has already been pointed out, but I believe that in "Contents under Pressure" Alex says something like "We don't see ourselves as metal. Perhaps a bit metalish as Heavy Metal can be a glorious raw medium to work in on occasion, but overall we see ourselves as progressive hard rock" I think it was Alex who said that (or something close to it). I definitely recall the phrase "glorious raw medium". Anyway, I have to agree with Alex's point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Barchetta Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Sorry if this has already been said, I didn't read this whole thread (as interesting as it was,) but I think it depends on the timeframe. For example: I don't think you'll find anything heavier than "Anthem" from 1975. Parts of "Moving Pictures" were very heavy for '81. I personally don't believe anything they've done since could be considered heavy metal. But I grew up at a time when Maiden, Metallica, and Megadeth were about as heavy as it got. (Megadeth really has a little prog mixed in some of their albums, by the way.) Kids these days that think the singer has to sound like he's getting a prostate exam from Freddy Krueger wouldn't think any of the above are "metal." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Some people here "cough" bard"cough" are missing the point.... Metal is a state of mind, an indefinable quality of je nes sai quai, rather than a specific sound. That is why, even in the middle of HYF, Rush are undoubtedly METAL!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 But are they 70s metal, heavy metal, thrash metal, death metal, nu metal, symphonic metal, black metal, prog metal, doom, metalcore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The influence on Metal however cant even be charted. 2112 Grand Finale is heavy as f**k.

Bard Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) I'm no expert on Rush. One need not be an expert on Rush to know such base reflections about hard rock in general. What fools these mortals be. Fanboys are the worst. Blind idolatry. However...Rush is of course whatever you kiddies want it to be. I'm sure that's the way Ged, Al, and Neil would want you to have it. Take 'em however you like, if it rawks in certain shades of rose, super duper flooper. :) So if Rush is metal for you, then that's all right. Heck, I'm sure Rush is Dixieland Delta blues jazz for some people. :) Edited April 10, 2016 by Bard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, I would go further and say all of 2112 (the song) is metal, as is Something 4 Nothing, By-Tor, Anthem & Bastille Day. After that the metal songs are much fewer. But you can hear the influence (and Rush's influence on metal). But overall - I agree Rush is not metal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even seem aware when people are just having a bit of fun with a subject, and it's pretty obvious your irony and sarcasm metres have been bypassed. Oh, and posting text in your dialect only serves to make you look like a moron. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
