Are there any RUSH fans still out there?
« on: November 21, 2003, 08:28:00 PM »
About a year ago there were a bunch of RUSH fans on the board.  I have recently accepted a position as Business Manager for a RUSH Tribute Band playing in New Jersey known as Hemispheres.  

If anyone is interested in RUSH or seeing a great tribute band, then please e-mail me at [email protected].  Thanks again.

Jeff Z.

Im still here...the band i was telling you about that reminded me of rush is "coheed and cambria"  they apparently have been compared to rush in rolling stone.  Went to their concert the other night and two old men came out saying they had brought their sons to see the other band but that coheed reminded them of rush!  They have also "supposedly" said that they never listened to rush so they did and said they didnt like them, but there is a hidden song on the latest album named 2113 and has sooooo many rush traits.  
Look it up.  You might like it.
Im coming up on monday...I'll give you a buzz...

PS: Is Hemispheres playing the week i'm up there?

We played last night at ANG-E B's in Elmwood Park and had a great show!  The crowd was wild and they had a great time.

We are playing next on December 12 at The County Line Pub and then again at ANG-E B's on December 20th.  Our big date is for January 23rd at the Wreck Room in Wallington.

When I was 12 years old, Rush was the shit. I took it upon myself to learn as much of the album 2112 as I could on the guitar. Rush got plenty of airplay on 98Rock, a radio station explicitly prohibited by straight inc. back in the early '80s.

I remember Joel M and his brother used to love Rush.  I remember him telling me the drummer was the best in the world.

Best drummer? I guess, if you like showmanship better than a solid in-the-pocket type of drummer...like Charlie Watts, for instance.  Bonham and Moon also kick ass...

If you really want "technically-adept style" drums though, listen to some jazz players, like Chick Webb, etc..

Our drummer has been playing for over 40 years and started playing at the ripe young age of 2.  He is very talented and actually gives some of the pros a run for their money.

If anyone is interested, we are playing next at County Line Pub in West Caldwell, NJ on December 12 and then at ANG-e B's in Elmwood Park, NJ on December 20.  

Would love for you all to be there.

I used to get that stuff in a little bottle in Village head shops.  Would huff that crap in class at school.  Man, what a nasty headache.

To repeat myself -
"If you really want "technically-adept style" drums though, listen to some jazz players, like Chick Webb, etc.."

I suppose this Tony Williams guy would fall into that category, same with some of those other progressive and jazz drummers that you mentioned. But that's a different neighborhood from rock and roll. Charlie Watts is a great drummer, and the Stones were undeniably a great band. I can't say much for 'em NOW, but they definitely had their day, right?  

And yes, Mitch Mitchell is great, but you failed to comment on John Bonham or Keith Moon, who I had also mentioned...

Personally I think Rush sucks.

They are the technical equivalent to N'Sync or Backstreet Boys or whoever.

A bunch of guys who can play their asses off but have no clue about music...it's sterile, boring, heartless stuff.

I always equated Rush (and other bands of their ilk) to masterbating in public...

Oh, and Charlie Watts kicks Neil Pearts' ass on many different levels.  If you get this, no explanation is necessary, if not, no explanation is possible (to borrow a little program speak bullshit)!!

Thank you for that bit there, anon. I know what you're saying. And, another drummer I always liked is the guy who drums for the Allman Brothers Band, Butch Trucks. (?) An excellent drummer, somewhere in the middle, if you know what I mean...
