their is a difference between having a few cigarettes and being a waking chimney. Your average smoker is a chain smoker, these guys just like to have a few and are what i like to call the more responsible smoker.
The 'soup' is a reference to the movie 'Best of Show'. There is a character, who also played Stiffler's mom, that married an old man for his money in the movie.
Yet, I'm sure the guys still toke. Why not, the weed available today is so nice!
If you guys have ever studied Neil's lyrics, you know where his influences in objectivism come from. I'm no disciple of anyone, but I'm running a congressional campaign that will be based on those same philosophies. I'd be much obliged if you'd all critique my video's for my campaign.
PS I also put a few of my old guitar solo's in there for you.
I personally don't care what they do in their spare time. it's their private business u retards. "arguing online is like being in the spcial olympics,,,even if you win u still look retarded in the end"
Okay Im tired of this. What is the problem if Geddy, Alex, and Neil smoke? People smoke and they retain their right to smoke. Just because a hero of yours smokes, you have to put them down for doing so and try to make yourself believe they dont smoke? This is reality people and they smoke, weve got witness accounts of them smoking and theres nothing you can do about it!! let it be. If you want proof ask darrin924 or watch the video of Rush in the 1980 interview.
because if u watch videos from their earlier shows and interviews u can see him smoking a cigarette with geddy, and the fact that in a few of the moving pictures and permanent waves albums' pictures he would normally be sitting next to an ashtray with a lit cigarette in the holder. in a newer video he says "i dont smoke, i have to worry about my second hand with a cigarette in it"
y do u insist that they dont smoke, it really doesnt matter in any way. based on what ive seen he does, its ur opinion man. believe what you like, but i dont think its wise nor right to insist on ur own beliefs. so fuck off
ok first of all its YOUR opin ion you posted in the first place so just stop before this gets out of hand! gosh! you are so stupid take your own bloody advice!!
Alex and Neil both smoke. Neil keeps his smokes in a metal case and often references his smoking habit in his journals and books.
Alex is smoking in "the Boys In Brazil" extra DVD from Rush in Rio. He's smoking while eating his breakfast and telling his wife "I don't have a problem smoking. It's the second hand smoke that gets me...there's always a cigarette in my second hand!"
" ... and the fact that in a few of the moving pictures and permanent waves albums' pictures he would normally be sitting next to an ashtray with a lit cigarette in the holder."
I own both albums (on vinyl) and there are no such pictures (or cigarettes anywhere) on either one. And what "earlier shows" show him smoking? What are you talking about?
geddy used to be aHUGE chain smoker...geoff tate smoked TWO PACKS a day until 1999...damn , u really dont need to make such absolute statements like that...geddy smoked until the mid 1990s...
WRONG...he does..he tried quiting , and like many he failed....and guess what else 16 year old child who seems to think he knows all, they all stil smokePOT!!!.....deal w it
once upon a time?...lol...that 'time' is STILL TODAY....a friend of mine /co worker who i have worked with and known for TWO DECADES worked for SRO/ ray daniels, Rush management company out of toronto ( SRO alsoi managed Queensryche and Van halen for many years ), and he guitar teched for VH and queensryche , and all three bands knew each other well, as did their respective camps...anyways , he, my friend , HAS SMOKED WITH ALL THREE OF THEM..and yes , it WAS POT...
and furthermore , i have met gaddy twice , and alex once...and BOTH times there was NO DOUBT that geddy was STONED...hell, u could SMELL the pot, and if ur stoner urself , u would know....so REGARDLESS of what YOU WANT to believe , the FACT remains that they STILL BURN...
@seahawks2043 Actually, they did have soup! When in Brazil, a Crockpot of soup was always prepared for them. So I think that that was a source of much jest.
How many rock stars are as down-to-earth as this guy... especially after 40 odd years in the game? Mad respect.
