Any other Rush fans here? Yes, I have very wide musical tastes, but Rush is one of the many rock bands that I grew up listening to, so they hold a special place in my heart. While I didn’t get tickets for their upcoming tour, I am very interested in what they’re doing and excited about their playing again and the addition of their new drummer.…Read More

I was into Rush for a while and went to see them in Southampton (UK) when I was around 20 (a very long time ago!!). To be honest I was a bit disappointed – I know they prided themselves on sounding exactly like the albumn but that is what I found deeply dull – there was no live feel to the music – you know those moments when things take an…Read More

I really enjoyed Rush live. But a disclosure. Back in the day, musicians and drummers constantly compared me, as a drummer, to Neil Peart and it really annoyed me, because while I thought Peart was an excellent drummer, I didn’t think our styles had much in common beyond that we would do fast, precise drum fills and used high-pitched toms, I…Read More

I just tried it. It is definitely interesting. It’s a lot of heavily distorted sounds, including drum sounds. I tend to primarily work with the sounds I’ve always used in the read world, piano, electric piano, organ, drums, guitar, mandolin, bass, glockenspiel, and synths. This is very experimental. It’s different.

I’ve bought tickets to see them. I’ve seen them twice previously, though not for many years. Ironically, I listen to hardly any other hard rock bands, but got into Rush around the time of ‘Time Stand Still’, bought ‘Hold Your Fire’ and the rest is history.
