Why RUSH Sucks !

Thu May 10, 2012 1:20 am » by **Harbin**

Why the band Rush sucks ass and then some.

Today, I figured I'd poke a little fun at some of the most insanely zealous rock fans out there. Man, do Rush fans love their Toronto Trio. NEIL PERT RULES!!!!! The thing is, the rest of the world who isn't a die hard Rush fan, is unable to tolerate them for much more than a few seconds. There is very little middle ground with these guys.

Actually, the title of this post is misleading. I could only come up with 1,742 why our mulletted Canadian friends are crap. But really, there is only one that matters. Two words: Tom Sawyer.

That synth / techno / disco opening shakes my bones like a dentist drill. Not a fan.

I would also like to mention that I can't stand Giddy Lee's (or however the hell you spell it) voice. But the fact is, I do love the music of Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Smashing Pumpkins all of which feature unconventional vocals. Any fan of Tom Waits can't rip Gitty's singing too badly.

Now, if you happen to be of the ilk that loves this overproduced, overrated staple of bland Classic Rock radio (along with Styx, Foreigner, Kansas and the like), relax. No reason to get all butt hurt. There's tons of music that I love, that I'm sure you hate. If your passion for the drumming of Neil Pert has led to multiple fist fights after a few too many Labatt Blues, I respect that. Whatever blows your hair back. Just know that the band you love sucks.

DUDE!!!!? Are you joking? Ok, the voice. I'll give you that one. But it still works for them. But the music ROCKS!! Have you heard their first album?

Personally I like Rush. Just in case you have not figured that out yet. They have 37 gold/platinum, and have the second most consecutive gold/platinum.

Do I like everyone of them. No some do suck in my opinion. So I guess they can suck. But suck as a whole. I dont think so.

They have a wide fan base. So the concerts a bit like a family reunion.

Damn harbin, don't be like that, you take rush away from Canadian, as being "Considered" one of the best bands, all they will have left is justin bieber..

Dont be that way man. (Yea we know the truth, but we are polite in public)

Love them. Own everything they ever wrote. Lifeson is my daddy.

Harbin hates them because they're Jews.

Here's ya something to remember the "way music should be" Harbin...

Batshit crazy woman in a gay 80s dance video.

Like 'em or hate 'em - I don't really care.

But I got to see them perform in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas in the 80s.

I love them.

But that's just me. :flop:
