[...] job, a DJ gig and the nascent apartment hunt made me fall behind over at metblogs. So here’s the link. From Portishead (coachella) to Young MC (wedding) to Rush, it’s been a helluva nine days. [...]

My first real exposure to Rush was on the excellent Canadian TV show Trailer Park Boys – genius!

First time I saw Rush was on the Hold Your Fire tour in…’89? I’ve seen them at least a dozen times since then. The live music does stay pretty close to the studio versions, but they still put on a hell of a show. I’ve never been disappointed. In fact, I may have to click over to Ticketmaster for tomorrow night’s show…

I saw Rush at the Hollywood Bowl last year. Best concert I’ve seen in years.

True musicians are a dying breed.

I wonder how many people picked up a pair of drumsticks just because Neil Peart exists.

I wish you had pimped out your extra ticket on here! I would have taken you up on it! My wife bought me tix to the Hollywood Bowl show last year for my birthday. They’re unbelieveable!! I’d like to see any of these newer younger bands play for 3 hours straight….

We Rush fans may be few and far between but at least we know we’re awesome.

BTW the drum solo?? I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face for days…….

My first Rush exposure was "Take Off!" from the Bob and Doug McKenzie Album… it was beauty, eh?

I saw that tour, too! That was when they were touring for Counterparts.

I remember the first time I heard Camera Eye.. I was hooked – even though I thought Geddy Lee was a girl. Saw these guys in ‘94 with Candlebox opening. How is that for an image?
