For people who have seen Rush multiple times....

[rftag]

Never saw it. I've seen many people doing the head banging thing to their heavier stuff (i.e. the exaggerated 'yes' up and down head motion) but moshing? No. That's more of a thrash metal thing.

 

Also, when moshing was at its peak in the mid to late 80s Rush was at their mellowest.

 

It would be almost surreal to see people moshing to even the heaviest Rush song.

Since 1974, never...ever.

 

I'm surprised you would have even seen it in 1974. Did moshing even exist then?

 

Moshing is associated with very heavy thrash metal (Slayer, Anthrax, early Metallica etc). I would've imagined it originated in the early 80s with the advent of thrash, or perhaps in the mid 70s punk scene.

No moshing here, but Kurt Cobain was having a good time

 

http://www.rushtrader.com/interviews/rushagora1s.gif

He's smelling the spirit of his left teen armpit

 

He worked up a sweat passin' down that garden road

If you do the math, Cobain was probably only about 6 years old when this gig happened

 

yeah, he looks a lot older in the pic, doesn't he

 

;)

Just a little. Btw, I never saw anyone state a year when that photo was taken. Wonder what they were playing too

 

Is it known for sure that it is Cobain in the pic? It looks like him, but Cobain was born in 1967, and this pic can't be more recent than 1978, which would make Cobain 10 or 11 at the time.

 

Doesn't seem mathematically/biologically possible that the Cobain looking kid in the pic could actually be Kurt Cobain.

It's not Kurt. It's his older brother, Kyle Cobain. It's from Kyle that Kurt got the famous striped shirt.

 

 

 

((just to be 100% clear--we were joking about it being Kurt. And Kyle is a fictional character))

And as it was discussed earlier in this thread, the photo was taken in September of '74...if that were Cobain, he would have been an awfully big seven year-old.

Egads, Geddy's pink pants and white platforms! Oh well, I suppose we all look back at photos of us from way back when and are amused/embarrassed.

 

Hey, I like 'em.

Moshing?

Copious amounts of air drumming?

The curse for anyone who was alive during the 70s.

Ain't never seen no moshing at a Rush show.

 

So you've seen moshing at every Rush concert you have attended? Interesting...

If you're talking to him then quote him, that's easier surely and makes more sense? I thought this was too obvious to point out but here we are.

LOOK, you go to his post where he said what he said and you click "quote" so he knows you're talking to him. When he sees this he's going to think it's nothing to do with him and will move on. I'm not involved in what you were saying according to you so you don't quote me unless you've got something to say about what I posted but you haven't.
