I thought everyone who didn't appreciate Rush was 13 years old and lacking in any sort of musical talent.

I thought OldScratch should shut his filthy mouth.

No, Rush has a lot of awesome when it comes to technical skill....and nothing else.

Lots of musicians count Rush as an influence.

Anyway, I'm going to go learn this song now because I can't be shown up by some kid.

I knew a few earnest Rush fans back in the day. They formed a tribute band in high school called 'Orbs in the Maelstrom', a name that doubled as a D&D campaign. Did I mention that none of them ever scored?

Some lyrics

"There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas"

I hate Rush.

Yeah, Rush is shit.

Really, all the technical skill in the world doesn't help you when you have Geddy Lee on vocals. Look at Yngwie Malmsteen.

Well, that was creepy.

Uhhhhh... I'm gonna agree with Hooker and that was kind of creepy...

She's just hot enough, not too hot.

"of course they're Asian" needs to be a tag

Seconded. I forsee this girl drumming for that all-girl group who did the upbeat cover of "Like A Rolling Stone".

I don't mind being shown up by kids in everything I could ever attempt in my life, I just wish, just once, I had the joy they had when they do what they do. I suck at everything because I can never get that happy about what I do, or maybe I'm never happy because I suck at everything. Either way, I just want to know what that happiness is like.

Truer words have never been written. Also fuck Rush.
