Analogman Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 yeah, i'm the only person in internet message board history with an opinion You can post whatever you want. I use to spend a lot of time around here posting like that also. I try to refrain these days. I may not always be successful, but I try. I understand that people like to dump on Rush, Kiss, Phish, etc. But - there are people around here who like those bands, and they have a right to post about how those bands are important to them. I've long wanted to have a Rush thread, like some of our other band threads. But I figured it would just end full of negative comments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've long wanted to have a Rush thread, like some of our other band threads. But I figured it would just end full of negative comments.You know I'd really enjoy a Rush thread. Actually thought about doing one myself, but ddn't for the reason you mentioned. I JUST missed out on seeing Zep, Floyd, the original Who, etc, so for my age (46) Rush was one the best, if not THE best, live bands around at that time (late '70s - early '80s). I saw all of those tours from Hemispheres through Signals, and they did not ever disappoint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd participate in a Rush thread if one existed. You're probably right about how it'd turn out. The comments section of Rush is a Band blog is full of nothing but Rush worship, which is probably more annoying than a thread here with a bunch of bashing would be.

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Someone at that table is secure enough to drink O'Douls. I imagine there were quite a few tables in the celebrity section consuming O'Douls. Lots of folks have changed their lifestyles in the last 20 years.O'Douls instead of Jack Daniels and Jamesons; Metamucil instead of smack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But if you had said Sandra Barnhardt, Stewart Grainger and Chrissie Hynde, I would guffawed. By the way...did Jeff Beck shave his pits or is it grey? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
