People here have different tastes in music, but it is nice that we can all agree on our love of chess

philistine! Rush are classic lol. You need to beef up your music lessons 

Rush, nothing but noise!

There seems to be some excitement at the prospect of me arriving!

I've even got a goatee at the moment. Just missing the amazing guitar talent and all the cash now lol

you really take after alex lifeson phantomfears...

@theseancraig i think it is pretty safe to say you will have a superb time. I have seen them every time they have toured over here since 1983 . They are playing all of Moving Pictures plus 2 new songs and all sorts of other goodies (the older the better in my book)

Rush sucks

all the people that love rush join the rush team!

rush for rush tickets

Buying my tickets for the  St. Louis show today.  It'll be my first time catching them live... I'm pretty excited

I've also just read in Classic Rock that they'll be road testing some new songs for a new album too!

I used to have a Rush t-shirt pinned up on my wall like a poster.

It was way too big for me but it was the only thing they had left at the merch stand at the first gig of theirs I saw.

Had to buy it anyway!

Has his tickets booked for the Rush gig and feels like a dog with two tails at the moment. Boston here we come !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's today!!! Boston pre-sale tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. local. Please god let me get in for some decent seats!!!!

They're touring again!!!  Ooh, baby!

zankfrappa:   I saw them several times at The Hampton Coliseum(Virginia) back in the
1980's.  Unbelievable!!! 

The band was asked once which US venue is their favorite place to play.  Hampton and DC, both because the fans go ape.  Been to both.  Not quite like the fans in Rio, but still fun fun fun!

I give my Rush-hater friends a CD, any Rush CD, and tell them to get back to me after 10 listens. They usually come back asking what Rush CD they should get next.  lol

phantomfears!  thanks for the heads up!!

I already have my tickets for the Pittsburgh show.

Rush is the chess of bands.  The mainstream public will never embrace
either.

Rankings for most consecutive Gold or Platinum studio albums

1. The Beatles

2. The Rolling Stones

3. RUSH

it's amazing how low profile they have remained relatively though selling huge amounts of records and never "selling out" themselves.

Can't leave Permanent Waves out of the mix. The Spirit Of Radio is their highest charting song over here in the UK.
