I saw @Deslock is keeping it real with the Clockwork Angels album art as his avatar, and it got me thinking: are there any other Rush fans on here?

Feel free to share any Rush-related stories and photos you may have.

They've been my favorite band since I was about 9 years old. I've seen them in Toronto, Atlanta, New Orleans, San Antonio, New Orleans (again), and San Antonio (again) in that order. I only have one tattoo, and it's a Rush tattoo. I have all their albums hanging up in chronological order in my living room.

I'm a Rush fan, but I'm not fanatical about it. Liked most of their music since I started hearing it on the radio 30-35 years ago. I have 6 or 7 of their CDs in my collection, and I have seen them in concert 3 times in the last 5 years. A good friend of mine is fanatical about Rush though. He has seen them in concert more than 50 times in at least a dozen States in the last 30 years.

Yes, they have some pretty extreme fans.

They're okay.

I haven't seen it yet. Is it out in theaters where you are?

:P

Hahaha perrrfect.

Been to about a dozen shows, starting with Power Windows when I was 16 or so.

So apparently they took the Chester Cheetah video down. Found another one!

Rush stories
 

Rush played my high school, before they were famous, and before I was enrolled there.:thumbdown:

Later on, much of their Subdivisions video was filmed in my high school, while I was enrolled. :thumbup:

It starred the school's drama club, with the student body as all the extras.

Unfortunately for me, I was sick that day, but my locker was in the video. :iono:

I was going to put a link to the video here, but the copyright holder of this video is not making it available to mobile users through a browser. Works on my youtube app though. So...:search:...for the curious.

One of my friends back then used to greet me as 'young Steve warrior, mean, mean pride.' Rush fans will understand.

Finally, for all the crazy Rush collectors, Canada Post just released a Rush stamp as part of a Canadian Recording Artists series:

Yeah they're pretty good, released a few meh records here and there but not a bad discography.

Haha man, such bad luck. Subdivisions was the song that got me into them.

I used to be a HUGE Rush fan when I was younger. I still listen to their albums every now and then; my uncle got me into them when I was about 11 years old. My favorite album of theirs is probably 2112...it is absolutely incredible to the ears...now that you've brought me down memory lane, I have to go listen to some Rush... :thumbsup:

Meh - ish
I think you need dog like hearing powers to decipher some of the lyrics. Too squeeky.
For Canadian bands, I liked The Guess Who a bit more.
