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?

he plays Paul Reed Smith

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Sunday, 22 January 2006 05:37 (twenty years ago)

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)

i have been to both
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)

Good point Jesus Dan, just had to get that off my chest.

Here you go:

Rush in Rio rocks
Brazilians go nuts during
Alex's solos

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Thursday, 22 June 2006 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

Your bad haiku has
One too many syllables
In the second line

― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Thursday, 22 June 2006 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

Hey Matt #2
Let's not get all pedantic
It's the thought that counts

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Thursday, 22 June 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

This machinery
Making Rush haiku can still
Be open-hearted

― LC (Damian), Thursday, 22 June 2006 22:03 (nineteen years ago)

I say "Brazilians"
With three syllables, not four.
Does anyone else?

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Friday, 23 June 2006 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

Let's see: bru-zil-yans.
I say Brazilians with three,
Not four syllables.

― dlp9001 (dlp9001), Friday, 23 June 2006 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

...and this argument
Makes me glad there's no Rush song
Called "Aluminum."

― dlp9001 (dlp9001), Friday, 23 June 2006 16:22 (nineteen years ago)

...and this argument
Makes me glad there's no Rush song
Called "Aluminum."
-- dlp9001 (mysticalbeas...), June 23rd, 2006.

Oh, but there should be - I can just hear Geddy Lee singing "Al-u-min-i-yum!" Don't know what such a song would be about, but I know it would rock!

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Friday, 23 June 2006 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

wish I still got high
when A Passage to Bangkok
comes on in the car

― nicky lo-fi (nicky lo-fi), Friday, 23 June 2006 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

Liked Rush as a teen
Started listening again
Brings back those old days

Friend's smoke-filled basement
'Anthem' blasts on the hi-fi
Air guitars abound

― Lynco (lync0), Friday, 23 June 2006 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

I have two copies
Of the three-dvd set
All shrink-wrap intact

― pdf (Phil Freeman), Friday, 23 June 2006 19:44 (nineteen years ago)

for some strange reason
i don't possess any rush
should remedy that

― gear (gear), Friday, 23 June 2006 19:48 (nineteen years ago)

gear:

Moving Pictures and
Counterparts and Grace Under
Pressure are all great!

Permanent Waves and
Signals plus Power Windows
rock and roll my world!

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Friday, 23 June 2006 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

The early records
are sorely underrated
2112 rules

― Lynco (lync0), Friday, 23 June 2006 19:58 (nineteen years ago)

A Farewell to Kings:
forged their creativity
closer to my heart

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 23 June 2006 20:58 (nineteen years ago)

Loved Exit Stage Left
When I was at boarding school
Not so much today

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Saturday, 24 June 2006 00:08 (nineteen years ago)

Cool old videos?
Remember "Subdivisions"
Atari Tempest

― Joe (Joe), Saturday, 24 June 2006 01:31 (nineteen years ago)

A Rush song I like
goes: "One zero zero one
zero zero one..."

― Joe (Joe), Saturday, 24 June 2006 01:34 (nineteen years ago)

That Freaks & Geeks guy
had more drums than Neal Peart. Be
cool or be cast out.

The new Rush single: Far Cry is being streamed @ Official Rush website

http://www.rush.com/

the track has a similar feel to Porcupine Tree on the In Absentia album in 2002

― djmartian, Monday, 12 March 2007 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

for a "prog" band their
eighties albums sound a lot like
the police, but cool

― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 12 March 2007 22:25 (nineteen years ago)

This thread was awesome
We should all do more haikus
And start ILH

― NYCNative, Monday, 12 March 2007 23:08 (nineteen years ago)

What do you think of this song, martian? It's not embarrassing but it doesn't strike me as anything extremely special either and it's a little annoying. Very much in the Vapor Trails vein + that build-up to the triumphant chord that sounds straight off "Hemispheres." It seems like Geddy decided at some point that he could just declaim things instead of writing vocal melodies.

― Sundar, Monday, 12 March 2007 23:40 (nineteen years ago)

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

Edward Bax (EdBax) on Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:21 (1 year ago)

Genius!

― J, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 00:17 (nineteen years ago)

DUD!

― wesley useche, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 00:53 (nineteen years ago)

The song's actually growing on me a bit after hearing it on the radio. I still think the intro and breaks are more exciting than the song qua song but it's got a hook or two.

― Sundar, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 02:18 (nineteen years ago)

Been a long time since
I'd listened to Show of Hands
Boy Rush liked their synths

― Naive Teen Idol, Thursday, 15 March 2007 03:52 (nineteen years ago)

absolute shit.

I mean DUD.

― Saxby D. Elder, Thursday, 15 March 2007 03:57 (nineteen years ago)
