Quoted from Zablon:Honestly, while I know that as musicians they are great, I never could stand his voice, and I like Dream Theater. I can understand lots of people would like a Rush pin though.
Absolutely the worst lead singer ever. High pitched and whiny sounding.
Quoted from JoshPA:How did I miss this thread until now? Top-tier Rush trolling in here.
Who’s Rush?
Quoted from coop:For the record Rush toured in Sweden, Finland, England, Scotland, Holland, Germany along with US and Canada in 2012. The core fans are certainly in the US but there are definitely fans in Europe. They were active from 1968–2018, sold over 40 million albums, nominated for 7 Grammy Awards, and members of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
It is absolutely OK if you've never heard of Rush and even under the best circumstances, the band has always been sonically divisive: either you love them or hate them. Women never connected with their music; the band was famous for having a 99.9 percent male audience at the shows
It remains to be seen if Rush will make for a good theme that will sell. There's certainly an audience for this pin but skepticism on the theme being a smash hit is understandable. The only thing I know for sure is that a band that toured and recorded for 50 years and is considered a staple band on every Classic Rock playlist can not be compared to Stromae.
There’s no denying their popularity here, I was genuinely surprised that so far no pinsiders from Australia or Europe had heard of them, or say they were fans.
Quoted from Rarehero:MERRY RUSHMAS!!!
That’s cool, there’s a house by me that you pull up and turn on a radio station and the lights are synced to the music.
