Progressive Metal/Rock, just as the name says, “Progressive means moving forward,” is always on the cutting edge of new and innovative. It’s just the best stuff out when looking for something “new” and how about……”Progressive.” This is not Rush. There never was nor will there ever be anything progressive about Rush. I find people who are into Progressive Metal/Rock, feel they need to include these hacks in their Prog Metal list of fav’s. There is only one good thing about this dumb fuckin’ band….that is the drummer, Neil Peart. He needs to be playing with real musicians. But, that doesn’t mean I think Peart is that good of a drummer either. Just better at what he does than the other two jack-offs. And, when it comes to a small handful of the worst singers ever, that fuckin’ toucan Geddy Lee pops right up (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PortraitOfAToucan.jpg
Geddy Lee’s whiny, nasally, complaining vocals, sound so much like Alice Kramden of The Honeymooners, in rare form goin’ off on Ralph. When I hear Geddy start up with his shit, I imagine seeing a large skillet flying, like an ICBM through the air to kiss his scarecrow face, exactly like a cartoon. And then see the metal of the pan mold around and take shape of his huge beak. Oh…if only that could stop his noise. Geddy’s bass playing is almost as useless as Alex Lifeless’ guitar playing. Geddy’s bass playing is just so weak with nothing to add. The guy just can’t play anything creative at all. Geddy works his bass like it’s a wrench on a nut. Alex Lifeson must be the most pathetic excuse for a guitar player right alongside The Firm of U2 (believe me, I’ll get to those useless-worthless U2 fuckers). Rush may be in 2nd place for being the most overrated band to have success in the world.
Really, what does Lifeson need with a guitar anyway? Lifeson handles a guitar just like an actor does in a movie and you know that actor has never picked up one before in his life. I’ve seen children operate an inflatable ballon guitar with more dexterity than Lifeson. Watching Alex Lifeson try to work a guitar, is like watching a 95 year old with advanced arthritis use a Rubik’s Cube.
Then there’s the music of Mush…er..ahh..Rush. Songs with no ending in sight. And these lackluster songs just go on and on and on. Maybe if Rush had a real guitar player and a real bass player, then you’d have something. But, if you did that, then you’d have a real band anyway, wouldn’t cha’? So, in closing, if you’re into Prog Metal that’s great, good for you for having some taste. But, if you like these guys Rush, they don’t belong in the same catagory as real players.

i used to love rush, then i grew up. now i’m ashamed of it.
everything sucks….except that which you like ?
why so negative ? are you that insecure or what ?
you’re really spreading ugliness out here , and for
what ? does it make you feel good about yourself to be
critcal and mean ? i don’t get it . i’m sure i suck too !
I laugh at your ignorance!!
Crappy here,
Coming from a dumb-ass such as yourself, that is a complement. Thanks!
I agree with what you’re saying. I think Rush is one of the most over-rated crap bands to ever disgrace this country. I can’t immagine why anyone would ever like them. Before I knew anything about them I seriously used to think that the lead singer was some chinese chick with a super annoying voice. It came as a with great surprise (and horror) to find out that the lead singer was some obnoixous white guy with the most crap voice this world has ever had the displeasure of hearing. They can’t STFU too soon.
Crappy here,
Thank you!! I’m always relieved to know I’m not alone when I read a rare response from someone who’s I.Q. is in the 3 digits. I’m glad you enjoyed my truth which is THE truth. Keep using your brain!
Rush is actually from canada.
Hey Bub Rush is the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band. Every single band member in there has what it takes to put on a awesome performance. Hey it’s just my opinion but ur opinion about them is just gay and stupid. Swearing isn’t cool espically to a great band. Hey at least they r making money and living a dream with great music unlike u just making a big deal about it.
Crappy here,
Yes, it is just your opinion, and your opinion is worthless. A child, if left unattended with free access to candy and cookies, will eat candy and cookies until the child gets sick. Why does a child do this? Because, a child does not know any better. This is the exact reason why dog-shit bands like Rush are still popular. You losers don’t know any better and don’t want to know better. The swearing I use in all my posts is justifiable and appropriate. Plus, my well written, factual and informative pieces support it. They’re making money? Yes, they are and so do drug dealers. That doesn’t make it a good thing for the buyers.
Crappy,
I totally agree with you about Rush. I can’t stand it when people treat them like they are the pioneers of music. THEY’RE NOT!!! You should be glad that they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. I agree with what you said about Neil Peart. He’s the only great thing about the band and he’s a great drummer. I can’t stand the other members either. I’m totally with you. As a fan of classic rock, I will still go on by saying that Rush is the most pretentous and overrated rock group on the entire face of the earth. I prefer ZZ Top anytime over the terrible music of Rush.
lol are you serious or just trolling? if you are serious, then you are one of the most pathetic people I came across on web. only the fact that you call geddy a bad bass player proves that you know nothing about music. please do us a favor and kill yourself. and if you are a troll, again kill yourself. you are a total waste of oxygen.
Crappy here,
What IS pathetic, is YOU are a typical dumb-ass shit-for-brains that thinks “Geddy the Toucan” can play bass. You must think Geddy’s nasally whining is singing too, right? You’re just another moron of millions whose musical taste is up your ass. Yep, I’m the real deal. Hey, I’m glad you’re real too, otherwise who would change my oil at Jiffy Lube? You better get used to hearing, “Hey asshole!! Don’t forget the windows!!”
To start, I love RUSH, they aren’t my favorite-but definitely one I go to on my Ipod every so often. Crappy, you obviously have a strong opinion, and even though i disagree with it I respect you speaking out. I also hate the amassing amount of fans to RUSH that do not know Rush, and I respect that you have taking the time to decide they aren’t worth dog shit (Even though I may disagree).
When you say you aren’t implying Neil Peart is a great drummer, whether you like the band or not, that guy is a god with the drum kit.
hey crappy – how you doing, you shitty asshole
