Lets talk about the great band that is Rush:)

Whats your favorite album?

Favorite song?

Have you seen them live?

anything...

My favorite song right now is probably " the enemy within" live

Check this guy out, its cool to watch him play and see how great Neil's drumming really is http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=Pauliewanna&p=r

Their first one and 2112.

Saw them three times first when the were supporting 2112 and last 10 years ago or so.

Always kind of a yawn live. Neil (great since of time) over plays and Lees voice gets old after a while. Not great live in my opnion.

WHAT!!! I think they sound amazing live, I saw them this past September and it was one of the best shows i've seen. They played a 3 hour set with no opening band and all three of them were great.

Hi, how's it going, what bands do you like?

have a nice day and thanks for the kind words:)

ps. you seem like a nice internet person

[keagan]

Neil peart is the most fucking overrated drummer in the fucking world. Fuck him.

Also, while rush is not a bad band- they fucking suck.

Lee deserves the upmost respect though.

Honestly, not to thread jack at all. but i'm totally amazed you still have any green rep left, not cause rush sucks or anything, but, cause they totally suck.

[airfrogusmc]

I wouldn't say the the suck they're just not all that great of a live band. There first record (without peart) had some real energy on it and 2112 was pretty ground breaking but thats about it and live they've always been a little boring and not improv. enough. They don't push the music much live. And peart over plays. He has a great since of time just play way to much.

And what about the voice of Geddy Lee?

How did it get so high?

I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy...

[airfrogusmc]

His speaking voice like Robert Plant when he was young is quite normal. By the way Plants voice was pretty cashed by the time the 3rd record was released.

There are times when bands are better live like The Stooges in late 60s early 70s, Janes Addiction late 80s, The Who 69, The Clash (ANY TIME),Tool 2001, you get the drift. I saw Rush probably at the top of their live game (2112 tour 77) and the were good, not great live.
