On "Rush In Rio"
The audience sing along
To "YYZ", ha!

― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Thursday, 29 September 2005 20:15 (twenty years ago)

Forgiven is Matt.
He knoweth not what he does.
Tom Sawyer rocks hard!

I have a friend who
says his favorite bands are
Rush and Hum. What the...!

― richard wood johnson, Thursday, 29 September 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

When I was a kid
"Afterimage" made me cry
cuz my dad had died.

I haven't heard that
song in years I wonder if
it would still be sad?

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 29 September 2005 22:18 (twenty years ago)

three months pass...

Hey, is it just me
Or does Geddy sound like the
Sleater-Kinney chick?

― darin (darin), Friday, 6 January 2006 17:48 (twenty years ago)

"The ugliest chick
I've ever seen!", a letter
To CREEM once proclaimed!

(Damn, those are hard! I don't see how Haikunym can do it so consistently, mine are always so stilted. Practice makes perfect, I guess.)

Rush are so classic
ILX, as usual
is dead fucking wrong

It is very fun
Living vicariously
Through gaggles of geeks

In the backs of cars
Be rockist or be cast out
Dream of ILX

― Rock Friendster, Sunday, 8 January 2006 17:23 (twenty years ago)

I stand by what I wrote in 2004. The songs (works) themselves are often very good, but I can't stand Geddy Lee's voice, their general Led Zeppelin complex, or those fascistoid Ayn Rand-influenced lyrics.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 9 January 2006 13:16 (twenty years ago)

I haven't listened
To 2112 for years.
I would like to now.

― Excelsior Syndrum (noodle vague), Monday, 9 January 2006 14:01 (twenty years ago)

their general Led Zeppelin complex

of course, most of their music, esp. everything after Moving Pix sounds absolutely NOTHING like Led Zeppelin at all....

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Monday, 9 January 2006 16:53 (twenty years ago)

Geddy Les Claypool
Sounds so uptight.
Might farts help ?

(dudski)

Rush reveal secret
to success - four studio
albums, then one live

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Monday, 9 January 2006 21:14 (twenty years ago)

were they born but three
decades later would they be
RPG coders?

― Elliot (Elliot), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 07:57 (twenty years ago)

Those naughty Canucks
They borrowed from Raymond Scott
They almost got sued!

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 17:35 (twenty years ago)

Those cheaky Canucks
borrowed from Tchaikovsky, "We
have assumed control."

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 17:35 (twenty years ago)

Those silly Canucks
Using airport and morse codes
in song, Y Y Zed

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 17:35 (twenty years ago)

If I could still play
AD&D to ol' Rush like
When I was a boy. . . .

― vomit redux, Tuesday, 10 January 2006 17:38 (twenty years ago)

"Power Windows" was
brought to you by the letter
'M'. Why that letter?

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:20 (twenty years ago)

Oh sweet Rivendell
Led Zep weren't alone with the
Tolkien fixation

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:20 (twenty years ago)

So many rumors
Like this - no, Neil Peart does not
have a doctorate

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:20 (twenty years ago)

Who is John Rutsey?
You may well ask this question.
Well, heard of Pete Best?

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:20 (twenty years ago)

Plato, Socrates,
What use do I have of these,
When I have "The Trees"?

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:21 (twenty years ago)

geddy's real name is
gary, but his grandma used to say
"geddy", and it stuck

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:24 (twenty years ago)

Geddy sings so high
I say we blame Canada
It gets cold up there

I love first record
I might be the only one
Besides John Rutsey

I survived high school
because of "Subdivisions"
That and Minor Threat

― Brian O'Neill (NYCNative), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 10:55 (twenty years ago)

Tai Shan is the name

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 12:58 (twenty years ago)

Tai Shan is the name
Of the DC zoo panda
Influenced by Rush?

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 12:59 (twenty years ago)

"Hold Your Fire" cover?
Geddy sez: "It has nothing
to do with brown rice."

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 19:29 (twenty years ago)

Geddy Lee - who else
could sing for the Great White North?
"Take off, you hoser!"

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 20:43 (twenty years ago)

Rush: bringing you so
many record covers to
examine while stoned.

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 20:43 (twenty years ago)

Listen to those toms;
Peart gets a lot of flack now,
but he gets around.

― Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 20:47 (twenty years ago)

Neil Peart, a drummer
The only one of the three
who names his solos

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 23:19 (twenty years ago)

I love first record
I might be the only one
Besides John Rutsey

No, dude, I do too
Working Man is a hard-rock
jam for the ages

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 23:23 (twenty years ago)

Fans read liners, ask:
"No music credit for Neil,
are drums not music?"

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Thursday, 12 January 2006 02:44 (twenty years ago)

"Didacts and Narpets"
could be an anagram for
"Addicts and Parents"

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Friday, 13 January 2006 12:47 (twenty years ago)

WTF? Neil's drums
toured North America but
without Neil. That's weird.

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Friday, 13 January 2006 22:34 (twenty years ago)

Talk about Rand but
Unlike Saints Joni and Neil
They're not tax exiles

― Sundar (sundar), Saturday, 14 January 2006 17:23 (twenty years ago)

I am new to Rush -
what song is the best showcase
for Neil Peart's drumming?

What song, most of all,
makes you wonder how the fuck
he did what he did?

― Deluxe (Damian), Saturday, 14 January 2006 21:48 (twenty years ago)

That's arguable,
But the best known Peart showcase
Would be YYZ

― dlp9001, Saturday, 14 January 2006 22:23 (twenty years ago)

I thank you, and will
keep this tune in mind next time
I'm CD shopping.

― Deluxe (Damian), Saturday, 14 January 2006 22:27 (twenty years ago)

it must be rush day on vh-1 classic, all rush all the time.

― keyth (keyth), Sunday, 15 January 2006 05:27 (twenty years ago)

I'd like Rush a lot more if they wore black capes covered with gold $ signs...

How about robes?

Wow, I count over 100 Rush haiku here!

(25 of 'em are mine)

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 04:59 (twenty years ago)

How was R30,
anyone who bought it?
Looked good on TV.

― Sundar (sundar), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 05:10 (twenty years ago)

R30 gives you
two dvd, two cd,
and two guitar picks

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 05:39 (twenty years ago)

la villa strangiato
and sphyrinx's temple

― prince rupert, Tuesday, 24 January 2006 05:48 (twenty years ago)

four months pass...

new "Replay x 3"
three videos, one cd
Best Buy has bonus

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:26 (nineteen years ago)

Rush pretty much rocks my world. I'm always saddened by the amount of unfounded hate that is heaped upon them. These guys have been cranking out consistently high quality albums for over 30 years, you'd think someone would cut them some slack!

The string of albums starting with Permanent Waves and ending with Power Windows were basically flawless, and there are many great songs throughout their catalog.

Please stop the hate!

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:53 (nineteen years ago)

I have to say, Matt
I appreciate your love
But that's no haiku

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:56 (nineteen years ago)
