TrueRushFan™

[Wil1972]

I think it means what the person said that he/she thought was funny went over like a ton of lead?

 

It makes me think of old Monty Python skits.

Off topic for a moment but I don't get this emoticon that is pretty popular here.

 

 

It's how my head feels when I listen to HYF.

I'm close to 90% legal on the records

 

I already have CoS and don't listen to it. Where's my motivation to buy it?

 

As a millennial with 4 Rush shows, I'll award myself extra points for that

What is your opinion of The Synth Era???

1. A TrueRushFan™ is Someone who has an appreciation for the majority of the band's body of work. A TrueRushFan™ doesn't disregard an entire decade or multiple decades of RUSH's career. People who don't like anything Rush has done since 1982 aren't true fans.

 

2, YOU MUST LEGALLY own 90% of the band's music/songs. Format doesn't matter.

 

3. With exceptions for Millennials and EXTREME hardship you MUST have attended three live shows. Getting married and have two kids is NOT HARDSHIP.

 

 

If all three elements apply to you then you are TrueRushFan™. If not you are a more casual fan unworthy of the TrueRushFan™ honor. You may still be a nice person. The TRF has spoken, there will be no debate. 73 pin this post at your earliest convenience.

You are a true Rush fan if:

 

1. You can name your 3 favorite sections of their latest album, Lakeside Necromancer

2. If you bought a Dodge Caravan, just because of the song.

3. You can tell which of the 5 members are Canadien.

 

Yes I admit these are idiotic...but are any of the other measures any better?

[Blue Barchetta]

WOW! I am a true Rush fan, but didn't know it until this handy test!

Only those who can't make the cut seem to complain.

True Rush fans can only be cast out

If TrueRushFans™ are non-conformists, how can we know what makes a TrueRushFan™ since there is no fan mold to conform to? :) Edited May 14, 2016 by Lorraine

I fit the extreme hardship waiver...but I still got my sorry arse to experience 2 live shows. Minor miracle indeed So I'm good.

I'm a fan. I considered the CA tour setlist "a treat".

[TemplesofLamneth]

Apparently I'm not a true fan because I only bought 7 albums legally.

 

Or maybe I wanteed to experience Rush's entire body of work in the shortest time possible after having my mind blown by the progressive rock era without monetary constraints

2, YOU MUST LEGALLY own 90% of the band's music/songs. Format doesn't matter.

There seems to be a misunderstanding. If you pay for Spotify or some other music service to enjoy your :rush: you're good. Whether it was a good deal for the band is Ray Daniel's problem.

If you subscribe to spotify you do not own it. You are basically renting it. The service owns it for that purpose. The acts license it.

 

When you plunk down your hard earned cash (or your hard borrowed cash or hard inherited cash, etc.) for the physical product (it can be downloaded to your hard drive or whatever physical medium) then you do own that product.

Buying it from Amazon or iTunes counts.
