luvlz2 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) ^That was great seeing them. They played well. I loved that they did Working Man, especially with it being a Labor Day Weekend out here, not to mention YYZ and Overture. It was great!

Strider Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 This reminds me...how do Rush fans feel about the possibility of Rush continuing on? I am not a big Rush fan, but like a few of their albums and admire the longevity they had and ability to weather the ups-and-downs of the music business. So I am curious if the idea of Alex and Geddy continuing on as Rush with another drummer is as anathema to most Rush fans as Jimmy, Robert, and Jones going on as Led Zeppelin with another drummer would be to most Led Zeppelin fans?

paul carruthers Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) I'll just say that in some bands, one cog on the wheel can never be replaced. Bonham, Peart and Scott Weiland would be my top 3 as far as that goes, and maybe the Stones continuing without Charlie, but I'm not a Stones expert... If Geddy and Alex want to reunite on the spur of the moment and do the occasional Rush jam with a capable drummer, I won't raise hell, but for me, the R40 tour was a fitting close, and I'll just leave it at that....

Badgeholder Still Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I think LZ & RUSH is an apple and an orange. Those losses happened at different stages in their careers/lives. Alex & Geddy got to say goodbye. The reverberations on the fanbases were different, being of primarily different age groups and life experience when the percussionists departed. That 18 minutes in the post above is interesting to compare to Live Aid & the Atlantic 40th. For me it shows Alex & Geddy in a place where they are able to celebrate their work and bandmate, compared to 3 guys who in '85 & '88 were almost at a complete loss trying to tap into something they once knew. Plenty of folk would have been happy to see a Zep tour with Jason and i think plenty of fans would support new Alex+Geddy+______ music.

Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures were excellent albums, but IMO Hemispheres was their last great, hard rock meets prog rock album. After that they became too polished, which after Moving Pictures meant too commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I'll always vote for 80s and 90s Rush being my favorite eras.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvlz2 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Between the 70s and 80s I vote for the 70s because the songs they made in that decade were the ones I always liked seeing them play in concert the most. But seeing Rush in concert in the 80s was better for me as I saw them many times in the 80s but never saw them in the 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
