[QUOTE=Xanadu]i dont think coheed should tribute rush, they are not worthy[/QUOTE]

Sebastian Bach and Mark Slaughter aren't worthy either but they did it anyway. :rolleyes: Who cares anyway? They're a talented band, not the best but if they're what it takes to get the average MTV-phile back into prog stuff than I'm all for their success. And the lead-guitarist/singer is VERY good at guitar. The new song on their website ends with a great solo.

dont think i should contribute to this thread ha
this is a rush thread, making fun of coheed should be no reason not to contribute. besides im a huge rush fan actually my favorite band so yeah

ok enough of this back to rush
please proceed

Anyone should pay their respect to their idols if they want.

Anyone else think roll the Bones to be very average work? It's a few mellow albuim kind of. No tempo changes AT ALL... bland

I tried to wrn you...

I picked up Power Windows and Signals the other day online not expecting too much, but They were pretty good. pretty much most their albums between '82 and 00 sound the same, except Test for Echo and Roll the Bones aren't inpressive at all. Im defintaly buying the rest I dont have.

I agree, I think their older albums (Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, 2112, Rush, etc.) are far superior to the newer ones. They're not bad, just not as advanced as the others.

I love the crap out of "Signals." Digital Man and The Weapon have such great tones and sounds (and solos).

I agree with you on Digital Man, great song.


Out of curiosity, has anyone read any of Neil Peart's books?

I would be intrested in them... but no.

What are his books about?

Rush is probably one of the greatest prog bands ever.

My bass teacher is big on these guys, and I like them too.

Probably? They are one of the best prog bands ever. No doubt about it.

What happened to Alex Lifeson's drug(?) charges I vaguely remember him getting in trouble for something I think it was drugs about 2 years ago.

I think that he got off with probation or something. Nobody would send such a good guitarist to jail :)

That's a crime in itself

He was drunk and got rowdy on an airplane in flight. I think he verbally or physically assaulted a stewardess :(

That's kinda odd. I don't associate Rush with the Rock and roll lifestyle at ALL

[QUOTE]That's kinda odd. I don't associate Rush with the Rock and roll lifestyle at ALL[/QUOTE]

Considering that's about the only time anything happened like that with Rush, I wouldn't worry too much.

*starts breathing again*

coheeds gay rush is dope leave it at that

We will JUST leave it at Rush is awesome and obviously better.

Does anyone know anything about Neil Peart's obsession with Ayn Rand? I read a bit about her philosophy ([url]http://www.aynrand.org/site/PageServer?pagename=objectivism_intro[/url]), and I have to admit I don't agree with it much. Anyone know anything else about it?

does any one know where i can get a FULL tab for temple of Syrinx.. every where i go it only gives it from like 4:23 nd on

Thank you.

lol what crawled up your guys *** im just trying to get the forum back on topic because it is about rush not coheed

I went to Rush's web site and started reading the news and this was there:

[quote=Alex Lifeson]
What a relief to be over this terrible ordeal and finally move on to better things. I felt completely violated for months after the incident at the Ritz Carlton in Naples, Florida, on New Year’s Eve 2003, but I was also comforted by the concern from so many Rush fans who wrote or called me, who know me and what sort of person I am, and for their many letters to the press in support of my family and me. I must admit, it was also uplifting to see the surprise from the police and the Ritz Carlton when so many let their outrage be known.

It was difficult to live in silence for 15 months, but now that we are pursuing a measure of accountability from those who beat, Tasered and jailed me without cause, I feel liberated and am ready to begin sharing the horror of that night and the ensuing 475 nights of fear and loathing. I have released a statement to the general press regarding my actions against the Ritz Carlton and the Collier County Sheriff’s Office that can be found on this site, and will hopefully begin to bring some clarity to the issue.

I sincerely want to thank you all for your amazing support. After so many wonderful years together, I am humbled by the depth of concern and affection that Rush fans have had for us through our most difficult times, and will never, ever forget it. Thank you with all my heart.

If all we talked about was Rush this would die pretty fast.

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]If all we talked about was Rush this would die pretty fast.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, all threads like this need some kind of off discussion sometimes. C&C wasn't all too far off either because of some prog elements and a song title 2113.
