Hi! Welcome to my homepage!
Considered by many to be classified by the loathsome description of heavy metal. Rush has in
reality been one of the longest lasting art-rock, or progressive-rock groups! Rush has a multipercussionist -Neil Peart who has been considered by many to be the best rock drummer of all time, in addition to being an extraordinary lyricist. The majority of Rush's music is written by: Geddy Lee- whom many believe to be rock's best bass guitarist, in addition to being an outstanding keyboard player and a vocalist, and Alex Lifeson-a virtuoso electric and classical guitarist. Rush has been a group whose very nature defies description! Along the way, they have been influenced by such groups as Yes, King Crimson, Talking Heads, the Police, and others! Unlike many other groups of this genre, Rush does not hail from the U.K., but instead from
Canada! Some lofty elitists do not like Rush! They feel that the
earlier preeminent art-rock groups are entirely Anglocentric in
nature, and that anyone outside of this group, cannot possibly be
an art-rock band! This of course, is nonsense! Rush has kept the art-rock torch lit for countless individuals, who are just
now beginning to discover the realm that such artists as: Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes, Procol Harum, Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson and others have made magnificent!
Okay, maybe just a few more comments! Although, Rush has created an incredible body of work over the years, none of these
compilations include all of their better work! Perhaps, what is
needed is a revision of Rush's earlier classics, the accompaniment of a full orchestra on some of their longer suites and a
box set which really reflects an outstanding compilation of their
works!
With the passing away of Neil Peart's daughter in that tragic auto accident in August of 1997, it is uncertain whether or not there will be a Rush in the future! If the trio decides to
call it a day, then a box-set would not be out of the question. However, if they decide instead to continue on with their creation of
original and interesting music, then the world will be better off
for it! I sincerely hope that through time, Neil Peart and his family are able to recover from this loss! I was 18 years old, when I first began listening to Rush, that was nearly 18 years ago. Along the way, Rush has written an incredible amount of music which has personally effected me in very positive ways; it would certainly be a shame to see that fountain of inspiration cease to exist!
