JohnO Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 To stop the Rush bashing for at least the time being...I actually kinda liked their all-covers EP from a couple of years ago....but then, I realized that the only reason I liked it was because they didn't do Rush songs....and even then, I didn't care for Mr. Lee's caterwauling. (I remember reading a review years ago that compared Geddy to a parakeet - both in looks and singing)....now, what was it I said about Rush bashing...let it continue!

TOMMY TUNES Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Wait a minute. STOP THE PRESSESA warm and sincere Thank You to James and especially CubfanMike for their rediculous and sometimes unintelligible posts. For these posts accomplished something all o the TOMMY TUNES and Sugarbabi PMs couldn't. The resurfacing of our fearless leader Lew Bundles.RUSHeads I couldn't be more happy or appreciative. I feel I owe you something. OK. I know what I'll do. CubfanMike, I grant you one free pass. I promise to look the other way the next time you post one of your sophmoric or factually incorrect posts. Remember this is a one shot deal. I won't put a time limit on my offer as I feel you won't need much time at all to make use of it. Thanks again CubManMike and you too Jamesy Boy.Oh, by the way, RUSH STILL SUCKS! CubfanMike, Consider your free pass used up on that epic. Thanks, Your friend TOMMY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberrywine Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Listening to too much RUSH can cause brain damage or, at a minimum, lead to an exagerated interest in ice hockey and/or canadian bacon. Regrettably, as Popdude mentions in another thread, they are one of the best bands that Canada has ever produced. While I am not a conspiracy theorist, its possible that RUSH were some sort of cross border plot intended on arresting the development of America's youth. Geddy Lee's singing sorta sounds like cats mating on a summer night, or thethe screetch of brakes right before a car accident involving a semi truck. So what to do?Ive often thought that RUSH music could be used to torture islamic terrorists without resorting to physical violence. RUSH CD's can make for reasonable table coasters, or when frozen as replacement hockey pucks for Toronto Maple Leaf games. I say replace Geddy Lee with Celine Dion.This would keep it Canadian but stop some of theincessant nasal screaming. Needless to say, I voted "overated" in the current poll.

pierson Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 in all fairness, Rush doesn't suck, although I can't stand them and find 99.9% of their stuff unlistenable (bar "In The Mood" and some of 2112)...any band who has churned out music so specific to a certain aesthetic (i.e. prog/metal) and has rarely strayed from it & has been so consistent at it, means they're pretty f'in good at something, albeit making music that's not up our alley...i would hope that most diehard Rush fans would think the Raspberries suck just as much as most of us think Rush does... the "opposed" elements are very apparent... But I don't think there's a single poster here who doesn't wish the Raspberries and Eric gave us as much music as Rush gave their fans... that's something no one can begrudge, except the fact that hearing Geddy Lee so continously is beyond annoying...

James Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Inspired but the diarrhea dominating this board over the last week or so, I buffered up my CD collection with 3 new Rush CDs........I smile when I think of this board's reaction if the same kind of collective gang-up had happened over at the Rush site, where Eric Carmen was the "bashee".Long live Rush!

Poor4Life Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I watched their new DVD "R30" last night, and have to say they can still play after all these years. I've always been a fan of their later stuff (ie "Permanant Waves", to "Counterparts")You also have to admire drummer Neil Pearts tenacity to keep playing despite the horrible loss of both his daughter and wife within a yearAs far as being overrated or underrated, the critics hated them and the fans loved them, so thier ya go!At the peak of thier popularity (1980-1984) they got the recognition they deserved, so I would say neither.Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as that part about admiring the drummer. I never get talk like that. What was he supposed to do. Stop working for the rest of his life. Would you quit your job and never work again for the rest of your life if God forbid you lost your wife and daughter. Admire. scchmire!!

darlene Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 James has always been the kind of polished gentleman who looks at all sides of a problem. I loved your post, James, and agree with your "bashing" comment. I never said I hated Rush, I just said I wasn't particularly a fan. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SugarBabi7 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Finally I got away.CubfanMike has been holding me prisoner tied to a chair in his basement and force feeding me Rush lyrics for several days. Not nice, Mike.I do have one Rush related question for you though. When you were playing your Rush CD's just what were you doing with the blow up Geddy doll in the other room behind closed doors. I assume you were learning some new dance moves, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarBabi7 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I actually did find a good reason to have Rush CD's.When cut into smaller pieces and decorated, they make a great craft project to make art deco jewelry out of.Shhhhhh, don't tell CF Mike some of his CD's are missing, OK?Sugar :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Shaft Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I have nothing against Rush for their musical ability as both Geddy Lee and Neil Peart are both masters of their instruments. However, listening to them would be like eating pickled pigs feet or a prune danish - you could do it if you wanted do and it really won't do much damage but why would you want do it?Sorry to any Rush fans out there ... prog rock has never been my thing: it's neither funky nor are there many catchy melodies to hum along to.

DanceMan Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Sugar told me that I need to vote to voice my opinion of Rush. Apparently this isn't the spot and I have to look further.You really can't blame Rush fans too much, it's all those subliminal messages underlying the music (?) on their CDs.

raspberrywine Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Exactly. If you play those RUSH records backwards you hear all subliminal, insidious messages like "BUY MOLSON", "FREE QUEBEC NOW", "EAT MORE BACON." And what about the Geddy Lee is dead rumors and all those hiddlen clues in the album covers? It was all a stunt to sell more records.I prefer the early RUSH when they were just four mopped top lads from Hamilton, Ontario. Once they went progressive rock it was the bloated, prententious pickled-prune danish feeling as John Shaft notes above. Apart from that I love the group, they were fantastic.
