RUSH R40
Going to see them in Greensboro, NC tomorrow night...
I know most of the people on this board hate them...but arguably 3 of the top musicians at their respective instruments (and being a drummer I'll make the case for Neal being the GOAT)...but can't wait to see them as this might be their last MAJOR tour as they are all long in the tooth...
anyway...review to follow on Friday...

Re: RUSH R40
Awesome, good for you. Haven't been very impressed with recent setlists, but what do I know?
I believe the are in northern VA on Saturday. Unfortunately they are playing the most exurban, inconvenient and morally repugnant venue in the area, so I will not be attending.
I'd pay $150 if they played the Verizon Center.

You're likely a bigger fan than I am, so I'm glad you like them. Imagine if they played with photos of Gobbles McTubesteak in the background, that would ruin your day.buckeye_in_sc wrote:The set lists for this tour are LEGIT...

Never was a huge fan either, but had their Fly By Night LP, and enjoyed 2112. Have fun.

Re: RUSH R40
Just saw them in Tampa this past Sunday.
It was incredible hearing some of the songs they haven't played in over 25 years.
I'm a huge fan and have not been satisfied with the setlist over the past few tours, but this show was beyond my expectation.

Re: RUSH R40
I doubt that's the least bit true, they have a gigantic track record and following. Easily one of the Top 10 best bands ever. 2112 is hard to dislike, an absolutely epic composition.buckeye_in_sc wrote:I know most of the people on this board hate them
Interestingly, they had a good story on MLB network yesterday about how big of fan Randy "The Big Unit" Johnson was/is of Rush and Geddy Lee. The respect and admiration are mutual.

I am more inclined to agree with Wagon and Mucho as well...

Maybe it's just the contralto singing them that makes them sound like faggy shit songs.

Eh, I get what your saying Goober, the castrato vocals can get annoying in large doses. But the songs and instrumentation are solid enough. Lyrics are always interesting, if a bit pompous. But overall, there are way worse groups out there.

Re: RUSH R40
I realize that all three are recognized as superior instrumentalists. They recognize that people either love them or hate them moreso that most any other band. I just wonder where they would be if they had found a lead singer with a more manly vocal range.

They're one of the world's biggest bands. I'm sure Alex and Neil aren't second guessing having Geddy as their lead singer.Goober McTuber wrote:I realize that all three are recognized as superior instrumentalists.

You, on the other hand, are a pitifully pathetic sack of shit.

I once read Bianca Jagger caught Mick & David Bowie in the sack. Never liked either much before, and certainly not after.....

Re: RUSH R40
You've apparently confused vocal range with physical appearance and lifestyle choices. Despite his somewhat effeminate appearance and his bisexual dalliances, Jagger has a decidedly lower voice. Not sure his that his particular style would work all that well with Rush. But perhaps less people would hate them.Joe in PB wrote:Like this guy?Goober McTuber wrote:I just wonder where they would be if they had found a lead singer with a more manly vocal range.
