The film was excellent - thanks for making it. Hearing Trent Reznor and other famous artists speaking with such respect and reverance for Rush was so cool.
Fuck the R&R HoF! They put LL Cool J and The Beastie Boys in there and Rush has more hits than both of them combined. Heart, a group with decades of hits and the most powerful female singer in rock history, is not in there either. Its a Hall of SHAME.
@jennaboon Right on. I doubt they really care one way or the other. Rush fans are Rush fans regardless of who else does or doesn't validate their genius.
The guys in Rush are just stand up dudes and fantastic musicians. I'm really looking forward to seeing this, and their next album because Snakes & Arrows was brilliant!
@Bullzeye95 In the Time machine tour, after he show, they play a video and a guy says "pert", and Neil Peart tells him: "it´ "Peert"" and the guy says: "Are you sure? ´cuz im a big fan" Then Geddy says: i think he would know...
It was 1985, I was 15. A friend of mine gave me a tape ( ya, a tape) Rush 2112, and said listen to this, it will blow your mind. That night i smoked a joint, put my headphones, and put in the tape, and proceeded to blow my mind. Been a Rush fan ever since. Loved the doc, it was awesome!
The chuckle heads in Phoenix Az. booed Rush off the stage, but they gave Joe Ely the same treatment. I have lived in this cultural vacuum/septic tank for way too long. If property values hadn't tanked I'd be on the next thing smokin headed north. Rush has some of the finest musicianship of any band I can think of. Neil brought in the perfection-progressive influence that makes Rush so unique. WTF the R&R Hall of Fame's problem is IDK, but Rush and Link Wray are wayyyyyy overdue.
I wish Geddy wasn't so "been there done that" in that interview, as well as in a majority of his interviews in the past. I think a better impression could have been made with a greater showing of gratitude. The folks who made R:BTLS basically took a band who could have been written off as the biggest nerd band of the last 3 decades and upped their price tag by multitudes.
That's it - I'm sticking to concert footage from now on;)
Wow, I just think I got the belated crazy hots for the young Alex Lifeson. That being said, I hope this film opens up some heads and ears. This was the background music for most of my teen and just-post-teen years and I would swear on a stack of whatever that my brain circuitry was rewired by it. I've been a technical-listener to music ever since. Thank you RUSH, for assuming there are smart music fans.
I heart RUSH forever,
a 'chick who doesn't get it' (I get it, believe me I get it)
@jennaboon You're right. It still infuriates me that this amazing band that is so influential & broke all those barriers is continually marginalized & ignored by all the hipster stiff music critics who vote for the hall, but Rush is still awesome regardless of what the RNR Hall of Shame does...
Just watched this BS doc. Although it was revealing in a few ways.Most of you will believe that this group made it w/o any help?.you wish. Geddy Lee(not his real name-jew) Danna Halper (liberal feminist jew) Cliff Burnstein (A&R rep.-jew) No connection? You'll believe everything. My suspicions turned to be more than I thought true. If I was so-called jewish like these above-mentioned scoundrels...might have succeeded, too. Enjoy your slothful success, it won't buy you another breath. Demons.
It must be interesting being stark-raving mad. Although I sincerely fear for others who may be in close proximity to you. Please stay away from playgrounds, office buildings and fast food joints if you happen to have any firearms on your person.
@Rollo7 If I were stark-raving mad as you put it, people like you wouldn't be here any longer. In addition, it will not detract away from the truth of the matter. Indeed, the lighted stage is necessary to see all that is. At least the silly documentary did shed some light.
People like me? Prey tell, who are 'people like me'? Could it be 'people who disagree with gross-generalizations, paranoid rantings, and not-so-subtle racism?
So if you could you'd do away with people who use reason and use common sense?
@Rollo7 I am not stark raving mad, so there is no need to answer your question. Generalizations, paranoid rantings and racism..the cries of the age old oppressor. I will not cave-in to your mainstream media-type responses in the matter. I care not about races, but only if one is so collectively inclined to be criminally based. It is best to sum-it-up by one enlightened...

@jamestermanshark What is said is done. Now go ponder, if not to better yourself in some regard;perhaps the planet or one of the many species that are abound. Please, no more responses. I feel that I have done enough in this matter. Thank you.
@phnx4life Wow! Such garbage. Who gives a fuck what you think. The rest of us reconize talent, and enjoy good music, regardless of there religion. Besides, i stopped believing fairy tales when i was a kid!
I'm getting the sense the the fans are ruining the band. LOL. It is starting to feel that they are just appeasing the die hard fans with "stuff." On some level it is money, on another it feels like duty.
RUSH has always been about them and the music. we just came for the ride. They don't owe me, or anyone else for that mater, anything than a good piece of music. And we will support their efforts buy buying them. JMO
@jennaboon Thank you! Someone finally gets it! The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame isn't anything special. It's just a bunch of corporate idiots who got together, scratched their heads and decided who had more videos on MTV than the other guy. No one should regard the Hall of Fame as anything important. Think about this: Madonna and Michael Jackson are in the Hall Of Fame.
It seems that Alex is very gracious but at the same time he knows which "musicians" are for real in their love for Rush in this documentary, but at the same time he knows very well who was just using them at 2:46
IF YOU WANT TO TURN SOMEONE ON TO SOME RUSH MUSIC ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS GET Out ALL THE WORLDS A STAGE AND YOU WILL HAVE THEM HOOKED,THINK ABOUT IT ,THIS BAND WAS FRAGGIN KICKIN ASS THE OLD SCHOOL WAY IN 1975,I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I HEARD LIFESON PLAY BY-TOR AND THE SNOW DOG,THE HAUNTING,EERIE SOUND OF THE ECHOPLEX MIXED WITH SOME DISTORTION JUST BLEW ME AWAY,IM LIKE WTF,I BELEIVE I PLAYED THAT ALBUM EVERY DAY FOR MONTHS AFTER THAT,I STILL HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT EVERY NOW AND THEN
That isn't Rush. That's Boley's Horn Poon. I saw them in Ottawa in '78.
