Any RUSH fans out here

They have a few classics, don't get me wrong. I could never make it through a full album though. Being Canadian makes it hard to decide if I'd rather go the rest of my life without hearing Rush, or the Tragically Hip.
 
I am not a fanatic and never seen them live unfortunately but really dig their sound. Love the entire first album and then everything from YYZ to Subdivisions to Red Sector A, etc.
 
I love the older stuff, everything up to and including a few tracks off of Power Windows, even. I've seen Rush live more than any other band as one of my best friends (rest in peace, Russell) was a huge fan and they were always great live even though I didn't dig much of say Roll The Bones and later albums' era. Those early albums, though...some great, great songs and Peart's lyrics were always great, too.

My favorite Lifeson solo :
 
Great band. I've seen them a couple dozen times over the years, more than any other band. Thats mostly due to them continuing to consistently tour through the years.
 
Have loved their stuff for decades and have seen them live several times. The first time was on my 18th birthday at the old Montreal Forum with Marillion opening.
 
Just saw them in Philly. Will see them in Pitts too.Theyre on fire atm,doing great.
The guitar tone is thin and a bit brittle tho.They definitely dnt need the money,playing for the fun of it I guess.
 
Been a fan since the early 90’s, seen tons of shows (including current tour in LA and again this Monday in Denver). I always liked that Alex found a way to serve the song with his guitar parts, without making it all about him.

Really glad they found a good drummer who can pull it off and stay humble but also be entertaining for the crowd - she lets me see a favorite band again and so I really appreciate that about her.

They’ve had so many different eras/sounds during their career I can always find something of theirs to listen to that fits my mood.
 
Fuck yeah. All the way up to 1985.

I'm onboard all the way through 1991, although with some turbulence starting in 1984.

But I've been unable to tolerate much of Geddy's 17 year old cat in a blender live vocals for over 20 years now (or maybe a 17 year old cat slowly dying in a toaster oven). He simply couldn't sing some of the early classics as a middle-aged man, much less now as an old man. At least he used to sound like a 4 year old cat. 🐈 :dunno:
 
Documentary.

This is really good. Thanks for posting, just got a bit left

* Okay I just finished it up and it's crazy to think that as great as all those drummers are and Chad Smith was pretty awesome, Neil is irreplaceable
