Rush is the band that made me want to play bass.

- Did Geddy borrow that kimono from Lindsey Buckingham, or the other way around? And didn't Johnny Depp wind up with Neil's shirt in Pirates Of The Carribean?
- Rush nailed the 70s rock-star look!
- I read somewhere - Guitar Player or Bass Player Magazine, I'm not sure which one - that they did Xanadu in one take. No mistakes, no do-overs. Absolutely unbelievable musicianship. The engineer must have loved it. Record Rush, and be home in time for supper!
- Geddy's double-neck Rick looked like a real backbreaker! You need a young, fit back to play it. No wonder he doesn't play it anymore!

And I've seen very few guys take on the bass/keyboards/vocals spot that Geddy makes look so easy.

| From what I've read both Geddy and Alex loved Yes and went to see them in concert. Yes had a period where they wore stuff like that...so, Geddy just had to have one... 
In this video you don't see them with their high platform shoes... 
The guy that sold me one of my bass cabs said when he first went to their 2112 concernt he thought there were witches! Long hair, flowing robes, the intro to 2112, stage smoke and that voice....

The Red Double-Neck Alex is playing in this vid later got crushed by a light rigging or something that fell on it at a Rush/ BOC concert. Nice guitar, too bad. |

|  | My favorite songs were never heard on the radio | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Tulsa, OK | | | I've seen Rush live more than any other band. The last time was in 2008, and they are still incredible musicians. Geddy still has some pipes, too. The most amazing and talented band in existence, IMO.

It certainly looks like one heavy mother! Me, I'm too damn old, I'd be at my chiropractor if I tried playing it for any length of time!

Personally, I would love to see the plaid, quilt-stitched, bell-bottomed leisure suits that the Bay City Rollers used to wear, to come back in style. Picture all the crapy kiddie bands that are out there today having to follow a heinous trend like that. I'd love to see a band like Disturbed try to pull off the "angry young boy" schtick whilst sporting matching head-to-toe polyester.

What did those of you that heard their early material think when Permananet Waves and Moving Pictures came out?
It must have been quite a shift to hear the change in musical direction from 2112, Farewell To Kings and Hemispheres to Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures.

Signals is a strong album.
