Myth Busting: RUSH myths BRAND NEW TOPIC never been discussed, WHAT MYTH HAS TRF KILLED for you???

[JohnRogers]

All right kats and dawgs! What would RUSH think of TRF blah-blah-blah…but it wasn’t always that way. Back story time. In each of our own little circles around the Earth we are the noted RUSH experts. That will get you a discounted bag of peanuts at an Expo’s game! Yet when I came here in 2008 I sought ENLIGHTENMENT. Surely they must be things I DID NOT KNOW or myths.

 

What myth aboot the band was busted when you first came here to learn from the assembled BRAIN TRUST???

 

I’ll go first. I learn Neil is not a hermaphrodite which is not why he is leery of getting close to strangers.

That they were all drug-free.

 

And then I found out about the Barbie groupies. :sigh:

I learned that Rush's music is not an elaborate and cryptic analysis of the effects of psychotropic drug use.....:smoke: Edited April 15, 2016 by Geddy's Soul Patch

I was actually amazed that a great number of Rush fans, on here at least, seem to not really like the band that much. :o

I'm surprised how many people who post here daily list RUSH as number 3, 4 or five on their list.

Sorry about that on both accounts.

Well, Led, you mean the Barbie groupies didn't shock you?

[edhunter]

Neil had leukemia in the 80's.

Good myth. Keeping them coming.

[ReRushed]

It's not pronounced Purt.

 

Thanks, Internet.

[LedRush]

I thought the band was totally high when they made CoS.

[laughedatbytime]

I learned that not everyone is transfixed by Neil's unapparelled and sublime travel tableaus.

RUSH's original drummer before John Rutsy was a guy called Little Mikey who died from ingesting too much Pop Rocks candy and Pepsi.

mandydog doesnt post here often, but when he does, its spot on.

[GabesCavesOfIce]

That Rush has zero absolutely nada chance of ever playing live again, be it residency or charity event.

I had always thought that Rutsey quit the band as opposed to being pretty much canned.

I used to think that Geddy's double neck Rick was a 6 string guitar as opposed to the 12 string guitar that it is (coupled with the bass).

Is this a more a myth or a misconception?

That Rush fans are smart.

I guess it is the odd way the tuning pegs are positioned on it that it always appeared to be a 6 string. Was thinking it was a 6 string for about 25 years until someone posted something about it being a 12 string. So it was a misconception on my part.

[BassMasterGeneral]

What would RUSH think of TRF blah-blah-blah…

Hey that was my thread!

 

Anyway I figured they disliked touring with KISS, just because their music is less than substantial, but apparently, they liked em a lot. lol.
