only dumb asses would hate rush. They dont know awesome music like Rush. If you haters hate Rush then why are you leaving your boring ass comments on here?
this band still kicks ass i saw these guys on this tour here in Beantown had 6th row and since then i have saw them a number of times .This band is one of the best bands that puts on a concert
I remember when I bought this CD the weekend after it came out. Stoked to go to my girlfriend's house to listen to it - when I got there her parents weren't home, but she was. You talk about a fucking dilemma...literally. She wanted to hear my new Guns N Roses Use Your Illusion II instead. Oh well. I've had twenty years to listen to it now.
@skifan07 Don't get me wrong, Rush is my favorite band, but they seem like they would have more of TOOLesque situation where they would make incredible videos with music, stop motion, and CGI, as opposed to performing videos
Rush doesn't seem like the kind of band that would do playing videos. It's actually kind of weird and disturbing to watch them do a performing video :/
@drawingdude267 That's what happens to your voice as you age. You can no longer hit the extremely high notes. I was happy to note that Geddy Lee no longer sang in a Banshee Wail; it meant that others could finally sing his songs!
This video brings back memories of me when I was like 4 and my dad watching it back about 1999-ish. We're both big fans of Rush. Glad I was raised right.
@ExtendedancEPlay Your Dad must be a stand-up individual. And yes you have been raised in the correct, intelligent manner. I was fortunate enough to watch these 3 guys this year. I have been listening to them for 4 decades my friend. Canadian family member asked me in 1974 "You don't know who Rush is, do you?" Roll The Bones.
What's the deal? Spin the wheel. If the dice are hot -- take a shot. Play your cards. Show us what you got What you're holding. If the cards are cold, Don't go folding. Lady Luck is golden; She favours the bold. That's cold Stop throwing stones The night has a thousand saxophones. So get out there and rock,
why does every damn rush music video director hate on Lifeson. Like in afterimage, they barely show lifeson with the rest of the band, and they show more of his guitar than that of him, almost nothing. WTF music video directors!?! LERX makes the rush sound complete
@Eternityflows how the fuck is Rush sick are you stupid there's nothing wrong with Rush and if you think they are sick then why u listening to the songs ya fanny!!!
Jack -- relax. Get busy with the facts. No zodiacs or almanacs, No maniacs in polyester slacks. Just the facts. Gonna kick some gluteus max. It's a parallax -- you dig? You move around The small gets big. It's a rig It's action -- reaction Random interaction. So who's afraid Of a little abstraction? Can't get no satisfaction From the facts? You better run, homeboy A fact's a fact From Nome to Rome, boy.
@Brickdump and its jack--chill out realx get busy with the facts those zodiacs are all in acts the mainacs upon the estersalck-- end get out there and rock eith roll the bones
@Astrosimi I think Geddy rapping is the very definition of mediocre. They're better than that. I remember hearing Geddy saying in an interview they contemplated having a guest rapper do that part on the song. It's rapping, which no different than talking. Any talentless idiot can do it. That's why this is beneath them. I expect more from them.
You're a narrow-minded, ignorant fool if you honestly feel that way about rap. What do you know about rap? I'd be willing to bet that you've never listened to any quality rap. I was under the impression that any talentless idiot could type, but apparantly not: "which no different than talking".
@PokemonRawksBrah I know enough about music (I've been a musician for 30 years) to know that it is much harder to write a song that requires MUSIC to write and then lyrics...and THEN on top of that develop a melody to sing those lyrics to than it is to simply write words and basically speak them to a beat. Let me put it this way: A person who is completely tone deaf and incapable to singing a tune can rap. End of story.
@PokemonRawksBrah First of all apparently any idiot can't type, since you misspelled "apparently".

@mitchconn Music and lyrics are different things, writing one is not harder than the other. You're right, theres more involved in writing a progressive rock song than a hip-hop song, but in the case of rap all, or most, of the effort goes into the lyrics. It takes a lot of talent to write a good rap with clever wordplay, multi-syllable rhymes, etc. that at the same time flows well. Have you ever listened to a hip-hop album? Any mainstream, radio bullshit does not count.
