1. Well at least you always know who is singing
He's probably got the most distinct voice in rock I would think...I at least LIKE listening to something different from the normal blah rock band.....

19. Sometimes I enjoy punching myself in the groin with a spiked gauntlet.
It is different.

9. The amazing thing about Rush...was that they were from Canada and didn't suck.
They were almost able to balance out the malice the canucks brought to the world after they let Celine Dion escape.

12. Gary Lee Weinrib. That's his real name, acc. to Wikipedia.
I guess "Gary" didn't sound cool enough for him, so he changed it to the "supercool" "Geddy."

:rofl:

15. No actually (and DuStrange can give the details)
I believe its a nick from childhood..he couldn't say "Gary" as a child and called himself "Geddy" and it stuck or something like that..as I said DuStrange knows....
