I just saw the concert in Winnipeg Manitoba on Saturday and I must say... beautiful music :D
True musicians in my opinion... What are your thoughts on Rush?

(I expect a lot of "HE SOUNDS LIKE A GIRL!!!111" :lol: )

I've been a huge Rush fan since Fly By Night came out. They are without a doubt one of the great rock bands.

A fantastic trio of musicians, however I have never been a fan. It may be the voice that I can't get past.JMO

My seat was in row 27 on the floor so I was a ways away but couldn't resist leaving my seat and going up to the front where I would be about 10 feet away from Geddy. The security kept sending my friend and I back to our seats... but we kept going back for more!!

Rush is a great band. So much from three musicians - and that's when you know they're musicians and not just a bunch of guys playing instruments.

I saw them back in 1985 in San Diego. Steve Morse was the opener. Excellent show.

I've tried, but just can't get into Rush. I just don't like it.

To quote Hansel from Zoolander:

"All of the music he's made, I don't really listen to it but the fact that he's making it, I really respect that"

I have seen Rush several times; at some of those times I was lucky to be able to have seen anything at all :roll:
They were and are probably one of the finest collection of musicians we have in the world today. They ROCK, have a message in the music, pay homage to those whos shoulders they stand on, innovate, and are just regular, nice guys. Who could ask for more?

My only beef with Rush is that Geddy needs a haircut. Otherwise, Rush rules. Without a doubt, a set of the finest musicians the world has today.

I don't understand why they aren't in the rock n roll hall of fame yet. They've been putting out material and touring for 30+ years. Makes me angry.

I don't know either because they are good musicians.

A lot of people don't actually appreciate Rush's musicianship. I mean, just about everybody who HAS heard of Rush in my school (excluding me, I love Rush) thinks they suck.
