RUSH fan of 21 years now. Fairly certain I was listening to them on the way home from birth. Yup.
I never expect anyone to enjoy Geddy's voice, especially as time goes on. But the lyrics are incredible, which brings me to Mr. Lyricist/Incredible drummer Neil Peart. Just listen to this guy talk about life, music, and his methods for everything, and you feel like you've walked out with a million lessons. As well as a sick drumline. Then there's Lerxst. Alex Lifeson, whom I've never had any qualms with, has got to be one of the best guitarists out there. Personal opinion will tell you otherwise, but craft mastery will tell you the truth. The man knows what he's doing all the time.
2112, Moving Pictures, Farewell to Kings, and Test for Echo all just had something great for me to grow up with. And as an adult now, with their albums still being released in my time, I'd say that Snakes and Arrows was a fantastic album, and I honestly can't wait for Clockwork Angels.
Been to several of their shows starting back at the Vapor Trails tour. There's no denying that it's damn near insane to try and top a show like theirs.
Final statement: Dig it or get the fuck off my planet.
