Ok, Rush vs U2 LIVE

[LMP]

~ Artistic integrity

Do you know what I remember of seeing Rush live? They had some video interlude of one of the band members talking like a pirate that lasted for 2 or 3 minutes. Sadly, they had 4 or 5 other ridiculous video moments just as cheesy scattered through out the concert. The entire show was possibly the most ridiculously cheesy embarrassment to live music I could have ever imagined. Were the band still "technically proficient"? Sure. Was it still the most horrific concert I have ever been to? Yes. Good thing the tickets were free.

Rush sit at the top of the mountain looking down on U2.

Did you just wake up a few days ago and lie in bed thinking, "You know, I think today I'm going to go to a U2 fan site and start a discussion force my opinion down their throats that Rush is so much better than U2." ?

And then next week are you going to wake up and lie in bed and think, "You know, I think today I'm going to go to a Beatles fan site and start a discussion force my opinion down their throats that Rush is so much better than Beatles." ?

Guys if I say the same thing over and over again is it fact or am I just being a jerk? Because honestly this thread makes me wonder

 

[BoMac]

Give the guy a break. It takes time and effort to bold and underline a word and maximize its douche-y quality.

Opinion.

 

[LMP]

Opinion.

or is it...

 

[corianderstem]

Hey, is that Journey?

[LemonMelon]

Not that I expect you to agree with me on this, as absolutely no one has agreed with you since you started posting in this thread.

That's a FACT

You obviously haven't been reading this thread very closely.

(a day passes)

The ignorance is this thread is MIND-BLOWING.

Did you learn about the alphabet this morning?

 

[LMP]

Hey, is that Journey?

No.

From my side of the mountain, it looks like RUSH. A BUNCH OF ASSHOLES.

 

[corianderstem]

That's your opinion.



...... or IS it?

 

[LMP]

That's your opinion.

???

I don't know.

 

[phillyfan26]

We are talking about Rush Limbaugh, right?

Well thanks for that. Because we all know that the truth of the statement is inherent in the number of smilies used for emphasis. Good work, there.

Here's another fact for you: the band should have stuck with Jeff Jones way back when, because I've seen and heard him sing, and it's a damn sight easier on the ears than listening to the caterwauling of Geddy Lee is. How's that for a fact?

How does that detract from their artistic integrity? All it means is that they have a sense of humor - which is something that clearly escapes you.

Nope. Just stating a few FACTS.

Can anyone here say, out of context?

NOW I get it...

musicianship + sense of humor = THE winning combo


maybe Bono should dress up as a clown or something


yes, this guy is right


RUSH RULES!

I mean... rock and roll + pirates = GOLD

 

[Moggio]

Well thanks for that.

You're welcome. Because I haven't laughed that hard in weeks!

Yar be factually accurate, as usual.

Which renaissance fair is Rush playing at this week? I need to get some tickets.

 

[phillyfan26]

Nope. Just stating a few FACTS.

Did we ever got a measurement on how many moggios greater Geddy Lee is at bass guitar than Adam Clayton?

 

[phillyfan26]

Yar be right, it looks like.

There's a guy in our band named Steve the Pirate?

Wearing a pair of... ASSLESS chaps.

Also, who wants to buy this shirt with me?:

 

[UberBeaver]

Geddy Lee vs Bono to the death Gladiator Style.

Weapons: Tridents and those big nets. No shields.

Winner?

 

[LMP]

Bono's a bit stocky, but at least he's not built like a 12-year-old girl. In that case, Bono wins.

 

[phillyfan26]

Rules: No touching of the hair or face.

And that's it!

Now, you're gettin' it.

They just finished a tour that grossed $65 million. So your implication that they're not popular is baseless and incredibly hilarious .

Twilight made more than that in its opening weekend, but that doesn't mean it's not a pile of shit either.

 

[phillyfan26]

It's sort of like how the sexy people flock to tribute band shows, the FACTUAL people flock to Rush shows.

Never mind song quality or anything like that, these are FACTS.

 

[VintagePunk]

Bono does have a slightly Leprechaunish quality though, which matches Geddy Lee's whole elvish thing, so in the category of mystical creatures, it's pretty much a draw.

FACT!
