Who else here thinks Rush should be on every radio station? |
|
Neil Pert is one of the greatest drummers of all time, IMHO... :P

1. When I read the title, I thought of a different "Rush". |

4. By the way...have you heard the new one yet ? |
|
I understand it's a cover of "songs that influenced them" before they formed the band. The covers are played straight forward, without much artistic embelishment.
When I first heard "Summertime Blues" from the disc I was thinking.."Oh boy, a Who song, big deal".
I was THRILLED to hear, instead, a close copy of the Blue Cheer version ! It made a lot sense that they would pick that Blue Cheer as an influence, as they were both power trios.
I haven't heard anything else, though. Gotta get it.

I'm strapped for cash right now, or I'd have it now; it's an interesting concept, and I can't wait to listen. I've been listening to "Roll The Bones" all day, so I'm in a Rush state of mind

I grew out of art rock bands before I graduated high school.
No offense.

8. How can you grow out of music? |
|
If I like a band, I like it; I can understand some things, like growing out of pop music, but music that has incredible musical talent and vision, at least for me, never gets old. I can not and will not grow out of Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Rush, Yes, etc. FYI, I DO listen to other music as well. Not trying to be hostile here, but what music did you start listening to, then?

11. That was when rap really started to break |
|
So I got into Public Enemy and such, and then into soul and alternative music. "Art rock" can be a bit eggheaded and impersonal, which is what I meant by "growing out of it". I like my tunes soulful and honest and personal, which is often the antithesis of those types of artists.
Like I said, no offense meant.

12. Sorry if I seemed hostile |
|
I like some bands based on lyrics/message, like RATM, SOAD, Dead Kennedys, Type O Negative, Dream Theater, The Who, Bob Marley, etc. But I am a musician, so I also listen to bands for the musical skill, like Rush, Primus, Phish, Tool, A Perfect Circle, etc. And I just plain can't get why I like techno
