I know it won't happen, but I'd be down with a Clockwork Angels theme. It's a coherent story, it's Geddy's favorite album of theirs, it has a steampunk vibe, and it is criminally underappreciated. I listen to it all the time and it never gets old.
Quoted from Jaybird815:No, Rush may have some seriously devoted fans, but their popularity is nowhere near as large as Rush heads think they are. It will sell well in North America and bomb in the European and Australian markets.
Maybe, maybe not.
" In London, Rush did five sold-out nights in a row at the Hammersmith Odeon and in Europe their concerts were selling out three months in advance." - from "Rush Identifies With International Markets" - RPM Weekly, November 8, 1980
Perhaps European pinheads trend younger these days.
The Crue (who can't spell and use an extraneous umlaut in their dumb name) is formulaic, lowest common denominator rock, so of course it sold better.
But let me ask you this: How many diehard Motley Crue fans do you know of, who are loud and proud about how it's the best band ever and their absolute favorite? I have yet to run across a one, to my recollection.
Quoted from Jaybird815:To be completely honest, I personally know no one, pinhead or not, who is a die hard Rush fan. But I do have a friend that plays in a Crue cover band. Which admittedly is a much easier cover, haha.
I said "know of," and you are replying to one here!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:I went to the store , when I was leaving the parking lot, this younger woman zoomed around carelessly and almost hit me head on...she slowly squeezed past my new car and gave me a slow motion middle finger. I’m really upset about it and actually cried. Wtf is wrong with people???
Take a friend Song by rush dedicated you guys.
I think of this line from "Wish Them Well" all the time:
Thank your stars you're not that way
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Yeah but you can go into a beer store and ask for Rush!
Hang on, I was saying Rush is badass, with beer compared to that disgusting looking purple carbonated drink, which I only now just realized was probably alcoholic.
