Funky Guy 6 years 4 months ago Posts: 2638 Account Disabled	I never liked them either or get what people see in Neil Peart, he only has that one drum fill he does over and over again (the one where he hits all 35 toms on his kit in quick succession.) I like some prog, especially Yes and King Crimson. I've never heard one thing from Rush that I thought touched the greatness of King Crimson's Red album or Yes' Close to the Edge album.

elron 6 years 4 months ago Posts: 693	I love Rush. Saw them in concert and wasn't disappointed. The 2112 and Farewell to Kings albums are both full of great stuff. I'm not a big fan of anything recent though, and hate Tom Sawyer. I think Yes sucks, and I wouldn't even compare King Crimson to them.

I Dont like them that much. 3 of my friends went to go see them. It was probably really boring.

Fucking amen. By far one of the most overated drummers out there.

I agree. I hate Rush. I've been told that makes me a bad Canadaian.

Saltychuck 6 years 3 months ago Posts: 1410	How exactly can you call Neil Pear overated? He is almost alsways listed as one of the best drummers of all time. OF ALL TIME!!! And Geddy Lee? Always listed as one of the best BASSISTS of all time. He plays the bass, the synth, and sings. Name one other fucking musician that could possibly pull off that much ridiculousness. Alex Lifeson, in the upper eschelon of guitarists in the world. Now, due to Geddy's high singing, a lot of people hate Rush. Screw you, then. Being able to reach those notes without a kick to the crotch is a little thing called talent. If you cannot appreciatte some of the best musicians ever, you first need to look at yourself. Listen to Spirit of Radio. Is there a chance in the world you could ever play that guitar part? NO, there isn't. Listen to Tom Sawyer. Could you possibly switch between Bass and Synthesizer that quickly, while also singing? NO. Listen to Limelight. Can you play the drums anywhere near as good as that? Hell No. Now listen to the epics. 2112, By-tor and the snow dog, The Cygnus duology, the camera eye, Xanadu, and La Villa Strangiato. Can you play like that consistently without stopping? NO? Then Shut the ever loving hell up. And yes, Catra, that does make you a bad canadian.
	Oh yeah?

If you cannot appreciatte some of the best musicians ever, you first need to look at yourself. Haha, shut the fuck up. Rush is a fucking awful band. Hitting high notes does not equate to 'talent'. It equates to 'holy fuck that guy's voice is annoying'. I've constantly heard people blabber on about how talented the drummer is, or that 'their music is technical genius'. Bullshit. It's random fucking queerness all packaged into prolonged irritating noise, simply to annoy those of us that have musical fucking taste. It's a shitmine that is impossible to avoid, prepared to catch the most innocent of us off-guard with an impromptu blast of ass while we're trying to listen to good music. It's about as welcome in my car as a foreign fart. Finally, the lyrics are the worst, ever. EVER. Gobble up this obscenely vomitous nugget of ass candy: wrote: "Test For Echo" Here we go...vertigo Video vertigo Test for echo Here we go...in slo-mo Video vertigo Test for echo Some kind of trouble on the sensory screen Camera curves over caved-in cop cars Bleacher-creatures, would-be desperadoes Clutch at plausible deniability Don't touch that dial We're in denial Until the showcase trial on TV Here we go...vertigo Video...vertigo Test for echo Some kind of pictures on the sense o'clock news Miles of yellow tape, silhouetted chalk lines Tough-talking hood boys in pro-team logo knock-offs Conform to uniforms of some corporate entity Don't change that station It's a Gangsta Nation Now crime's in syndication on TV What a show Vertigo Video vertigo Test for echo Touch and go in slo-mo Video vertigo Test for echo Some kind of drama live on satellite Hidden camera coverage from the crime scene to the courtroom Nail-biting hood boys in borrowed ties and jackets Clutching at the straws of respectability Can't do the time? Don't do the crime And wind up in the perp walk on TV WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? All I can visualize when I read those lyrics is the kind of basement-dwelling acne troll that can be found actually enjoying that brand of retardation. Here's a role-reversal for you: YOU need to take a look at yourself. Rush is ruining your social life.

MattNash 6 years 3 months ago Posts: 4312 Account Disabled	Nice rant, Nipper. Even though, IMO, there are way worse bands out there than Rush. Oh, by the way, Nippy, did you know your boy Les Claypool is a huge Rush fan? They're one of his biggest influences.

avaitor 6 years 3 months ago Posts: 789 Globally Banned	I recently listened to 2112 and Moving Pictures again for the first time in a while. Now while I still think that they rule, I will admit that there are better drummers and bassists than Neil Peart and Geddy Lee, and that there are better songwriters than the group, and that the production on said albums may not be that impressive. Even then, I still like the band, and I don't see anything wrong with doing so.

Oh, and Les Claypool hasn't been 'my boy' for 14 years now. It's fun to reminisce and listen to Primus once in a while, and their videos are still some of the best ever, but I seriously can't remember the last time I listened to Primus outside a youtube video....even though I have Suck On This, Frizzle Fry, Pork Soda, Miscellaneous Debris, (Tales From the Punchbowl was stolen), The Brown Album, Rhinoplasty, Anti-Pop, and Les's solo album Highball with the Devil.

Yeah, I haven't rocked out to Primus in about seven years, but Les will still always hold a special place in my heart, and I'd still hang out with him and have some some beers. I'm sure you would, too
