Part of the Rush appeal, IMO. How many bands out there could drop The Trees with a straight face?

Re: Let's talk Rush.
This thread is blasphemy and you are all banned from Canada. We ain't so friendly when you disgrace our greatest export, Rush....

Re: Let's talk Rush.
Let's be honest here. Rush is pretty much as cringe worthy of a band as they come, which is a shame because they appear to all be competent musicians.

I won't even lower myself to "debating" this incorrect statement just know one day you'll realize how wrong you were and think shit, I hope that guy on the ILF isn't dead so I can go apologize to him for how wrong I was in 2018

Re: Let's talk Rush.
"The Trees" exists for that scene in SLC Punk. Guided by Voices' "I am a Tree" always seemed like an attempt to make it less cringeworthy.
I grew up on Rush. Exit Stage Left was a huge deal for me when I was still in grade school. I fell off right after Counterparts. Other things were permeating, grabbing my attention, and more compelling to me. I was just wondering the other day if 80s Rush primed me for dream pop and shoegaze stuff. Sonically interesting to revisit, but not so much on the lyrics.

Oh yeah, I absolutely love that they just went and did whatever they wanted at every stage of their career. Go Rush.reckon luck wrote:Part of the Rush appeal, IMO. How many bands out there could drop The Trees with a straight face?

Not enough stutter/glitch and they know how to play, not for me.
I love Rush.

Synth Rush kicks ass. I've been away from this band for too long. A Farewell to Kings is such a great album. Probably my favorite of theirs.

I believe I will have to relinquish my Canadian citizenship for this, but I agree 100% with this:

Re: Let's talk Rush.
i always referred to him as "Marty Balin on helium." if you know the Jefferson Airplane you'll never be able to un-hear this.
