I'm sure Rush falls into the same category that befell Black Sabbath and The Sex Pistols. but c'mon! Look at the Stones! They're a walking parody of themselves now. True, they may lay claim to the goofiest song of all time (The Trees) and were more than a bit overindulgent. Probably only Pink Floyd could claim to bring a bigger stage theater than Rush. from 2112 to Grace Under Pressure, they were the technical wizards of Rock and Roll. There are drum stores with "No Tom Sawyer" signs in them since the kids all want to play that (and ususally can't). and I'd say you'd get AT LEAST 50% of them saying Neal Peart. Influence? You want influence? Ask any aspiring drummer who the best drummer of all time is. (g) Rush were doing charity concerts before it was fashionable.Īcting like civilized human beings is a black mark against you in the eyes of the so-called "hall of fame".Īnyone who knows Rush's quality knows the "hall" _needs them_ more than they need _it_. A hotel employee has testified that Lifeson and his family were NOT causing problems and were assaulted without warning when they were out of public view. (f) All are over 50 years old and NONE of them had any legal trouble until Alex Lifeson was beaten up by the pigs in Florida. (e) The never behaved like "rock stars" and trashed hotel rooms or anything else. (d) The never acted like jerks towards the fans. (c) The never acted like jerks towards the media.
(b) The never did coke, heroin, or any other drugs. They were never media darlings, they were _working men_.
(a) The never catered to fashion or "the in thing" and made records they wanted to. The reason Rush have been ignored since they were eligible is not because they're Canadian.
