Parker LOVES Rush.

Happy birthday, Helsper.

No doubt. Happy Birthday.

70?
ps I'm down with Ginger Baker too.

Sheila E may not be the best drummer but she's certainly easier on the eyes than some of the drummers.

I always thought she looked like Prince with his Dick cutt off.

Prince has a dick?

You guys are too fast...great minds think alike.

Happy Birthday, JH aka KK...what are ya now? 39?

Rush does suck. So does Queensryche.

QR used to be an actual metal band...they were from Bellevue and I saw them play in my junior high gym once...their first EP was some good chit. Then they smoked too much dope and decided to be a halfass imitation of Pink Floyd...didn't work out for them in my book, but they sold a lot of records.

Interestingly enough, they sold all their records to Rush fans. I guess if you like one, you like 'em both...I think they both suck ass.

rush will always be my all time favorite group, and Neal Peart will always be my favorite drummer.

With that being said.

rush should've hung it up along time ago. Musically (for a 3 member band)their still a good band, just not a great band. Vocally Geddy's singing is weak, at best.

Which is why I prefer a 6 course meal, say for example IRON MAIDEN, to a 3 course meal. I'm just more satisfied.

The weed had nothing to do with it. You don't achieve suckdom by smoking too much weed. Not enough weed, maybe........

Yeah.

Ranking right up there with 'teenage work party' or 'jumbo shrimp'.

Does Todd always speak gibberish like that?

Mebbe they just had the wrong dope...whatever it was, it made them think they were the next Pink Floyd, which they most emphatically were not.

P.S. Knuckleheads.

Yeah, you'd think all these jackasses would be more funny at night after they sat around in their trailer parks drinking Pabst for a few hours...but, no, they're funnier during the day.

Stam, I can understand...he's probably sniffing paint all day and doesn't even sober up until about 7pm...I'm not sure WTF Dan's problem is...I think he just acts that way all the time.

Knuckleheads.

first and for most, rush rules! been a rush fan since 77, thats 1977 to you yutes.

i know of this magicfly guy from his stint from another board. if i recall, for years he was a stubborn Rush fan too. nobody was good enough on drums, bass or geetar. sad sad sad... neil peart will drum mr.mcbrain over and under the drum kit pal! what trully separates neil peart from all other drummers is that he is true percussionist. i regret not ever seeing the great one play zanadu back when he had ultimate drumset.

as for bonham he had his moments. he was a very repetious drummer, he just changed his tempo according to jimmy page guitar playing. what has fooled many to think JB was a great drummer was his powerfull sound. hence the logs for sticks and a very large bass drum. creates quite the boom you know.

david grohl is good.
matt cameron is good too.
dude for greenday is very fast with speedy fills.
animal from the muppets was bad azz, cripes he was chained to the drumset!

Rush Rush Rush... best rock trio ever!

Sounds like another one of Alex's rants...boring

Mf

All the time.

listen mc fly rant or no rant this is the facts. peart is a drumming deity. when i hear mcbrain drum it reminds me of those old looney toon cartoons. you know when someone would fall down a long flight of staires, the sound effect was a drums all over the place with a few cymble crashes tossed in!

Listen to 2112 and tell me you were not stoned out of your freaking mind when you decided you liked that crap... My frisbee did not hold enough bud to get me that screwed up.

I've seen Rush a few times and that singer dude looks like a miget Phyliss Diller after a sex change.. and sings like I would if I had my nutts slammed in a car door.. the huge drum kit was interesting however.

lets stay on topic here, the subject is d r u m me r s not diss on the vocal guy.

I would be interested to know if Neil Peart did anything with a band that did not suck. If he has not, he should have. It would have been good.
