I stopped listening to Rush after the Moving Pictures album. They went too much "radio friendly" for me. Still a big fan of the old stuff like the Necromancer on the cd you're listening to.

 

You're also right today's music blows. Musicianship has gone the way of the instant hit. Bunch of sellouts. Where is the shredding guitar solo's?

My friend just called me over the weekend saying he had 2 tickets to see Rush with BACKSTAGE PASSES!! ... but I was in my cousin's wedding the same day :mad:

 

Chris, I'm with you 100% on today's music being total crap!

I've started to get more into them. I always thought "Time Stand Still" was a great song when it was released, although it came from Rush's much-hated "synth period." I actually like their recent stuff a great deal, particularly the "Vapor Trails" album.

 

No one can touch those guys for musicianship. The best rock drummer and rock bassist of the last 30-40 years are playing together in the same band. You can't beat that...

Actually there are a few good bands out but you won't hear them on the radio. Neil Peart is one of the Prog Rock originators on drums but has handed down the title of best drummer (if there ever will be a "best") to Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater. I can't stand DT's singer but the other's are such good musicians I can listen to it. YouTube them and watch some of the tutorials from John Petrucci on guitars, John Myung on bass and Jordan Rudess (from the Dixie Dreggs if any of you know who they are) on keyboards.

my dad is going to their concert i tried to talk him into taking me but he wont http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

 

 

Tell dad he is depriving you of history. They are a one of a kind band. I feel sorry for anyone who never saw a unique band like Rush, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Frank Zappa and others. It's something you will never forget.

Always been a big Rush fan. Saw them first in 1985, and have regularly since then. already have my tickets for their Pittsburgh show in september. Can't wait to see them again, as they always put on a great show.

My money is on Peart. What I think separates him from the others is his ability to play more styles. Check out his work on the Buddy Rich tribute. I bet you can't find 10 guys working today who are that at-home behind a jazz kit.

 

Another great bass player working today is Mark Harmon from The 77s. On guitar, Mike Roe from that same band ain't bad, but I think people criminally overlook Leo Kottke.

I first saw them in 86 and have caught every tour since then. I have tix to see them in San Antonio for my bday in Sept. Some going with me are the same ppl that went with me in 86. Pretty cool.

Speaking of Dregs, you gotta give props to Rod Morgenstein. Edited by Austin88ESiR

My nose is not as distinguished. Speaking of...back on one of past tours, one of programs has a pic of him in his dressing room with spare pony tails on the wall and spare noses on his table.
