True RUSH Fan: what makes a fan a true? BRAND NEW TOPIC never discussed, ARE YOU A REAL FAN, A TRUE FAN? What makes you think so???

[Digital Dad]

Is that an appreciation of 90% of each album or 90% of their music as a whole because the second option leaves a lot more wiggle room.

90% of the band's music over the three distinct eras, Golden BROON Era, The Synth Era and Modern Era.

 

So basically you can detest around 2 full albums of songs and still be in the clear.

Looks like I just made it, no thanks to Bones & Snakes. ;)

 

Its a wonder I even like you Johnny.

Now let's take a look at your sentence, DD, shall we?

 

Take note of the fact that you wrote "You Johnny."

 

It looks like, DD, you may more than like JohnnyBlaze.

 

How do you feel about that?

Incorrect, we are developing the criteria right here in this thread. Then the Bourgeoisie will vote on it in another poll. Sounds like you're worried you won't make the TrueRushFan™ cut.

Not counting songs I think are just "okay" or "I like parts of (song name)", I LIKE a mere 7 out of 23 songs off Bones & Snakes. That's 30.43% that'll help stoke the fires of dislike.

[YYZumbi]

I consider myself a true fan because i am a fan of each era.However I am not obsessive about owning everything thing like Rush shoelaces or golf bags but anything new in music or video i'll grab.My late brother in law was a true Rolling Stones fan.His collection was that immense that Bill Wyman made contact with him.Who else would own a hundred plus vinyl copies of Sticky Fingers all apparently different in some way.I never go more than three days without listening,watching,reading or strumming on my guitar something Rush.Oh and i check this website everyday.Now don't tell Neal,obsessive fan alert.

 

If you was a true Rush fan then you would be able to spell the drummer name correct... It is Neil..... not Neal....

Can't conform to anything if everyone has a different definition of 'true fan'.

You're probably right. However tragic it is probably necessary. I hear The Triumph Forum is always looking for members and the Max Webster Forum is looking for mods to control the 166 members who post there.
