> PERHAPS WE COULD KILL THIS PATHETIC THREAD AND GET ON WITH ANOTHER?

I don't see how this thread is any worse than any other thread I've read in  
this group or TNMS.  All the answers to people's questions are in the FAQ, so  
there's no big suprises to be found either here or in TNMS.  Until a new album  
comes out, the same old discussions on Ayn Rand, 2112, Hemispheres and a  
handful of other topics are just going to circulate again.  I don't think  
there's much to discuss about this rock band other than who enjoys what Rush  
songs.

I'm not coming down on you personally, Gregg Jaeger, and I think it's great  
that so many people who read USENET enjoy Rush's music, but what substantive  
discussions can be had about musical groups that don't involve song  
preferences?  Does it really matter that someone likes HYF over MP?  I don't  
think so.

When new albums come out, this group and TNMS have potential for interesting  
discussions, and they both ususally do, but it dies out in about a couple of  
weeks and becomes a collection of threads with subjects like 'What Rush song do  
you like best/worst?' (endless polls on this one), '<band member>'s personal  
life', and one that didn't actually appear but is very close to the level of  
the remaining threads: 'If Led Zeppelin, Rush and Mike Ditka were in a battle  
for the title of the Universe, who would win?'

In short, I enjoy the group's music, but the storylines have been hashed about  
so much there's no news here.  When a new album comes out, perhaps it will be  
worth discussing, but otherwise this newsgroup seems no different than the  
other specific music group newsgroups.

And to nip the most obvious and stupid rebuttal before anyone wastes their time  
sending it, yes, I know how to subscribe and unsubscribe from newsgroups and  
mailing lists.  Any further comments will be auto-filtered directly to  
/dev/null.

I completely agree with you there, John.  Countdown is excellent.  In fact,
IMHO, Signals is RUSH's best CD....a flawless album.

I agree that Afterimage is probably the best Rush video...Intense
is too nice a word to describe the expression on Neil's face
as he plays...Subdivision is another really good video...it really
captures the "suburban alienation" theme of that song...I also
liked the Roll the Bones video (even though I've only seen it
once)

As far as worst video, I'd say Time Stands Still, no contest, that
one was a wasted effort from the get go.  There is notheme to the
video, and it seems like they whipped it out in ten minutes.

	It'll never fly.  I think it's too late at this point to go and

and totally rearranging everything would more than likely just make a big
mess.

and consequently their output in a positive way, but I don't know.  A 
new member after almost twently years of success might just cause a little
resentment, if not in the band, then among the fans.  I mean, who would
YOU want to be the fourth member?

John Paul Jones is also producing albums, and one of them definitely
comes to mind ... The Mission UK's _Children_. It is so bass heavy and
produced so poorly that the Mission UK went back to their old producer
Tim Palmer, who produced their brilliant album, _God's Own Medecine_.

 My mother doesn't mind Rush.  She's not a 'music' person, but she likes it 
a lot more than the death metal which I also listen to QUITE frequently.
She likes Primus tho...  :-)
My father likes Rush, Primus, and can tolerate death metal....not bad.

         Well I think you're all wrong. RUSH couldn't give a shit about
Led Zep, Seasame Street or Whistler's Mother. Rush's sole influence is
obviously GWAR. The tone, the meter, the melodies, there all total rip-offs

The correct spelling is Xanadu, as someone already pointed out.  The
poem "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Coleridge is a fantastic poem and should be
sought out by true fans of this song.  (Absolutely my favorite.  I've
always thought that Roger Dean (Artist for Yes) would have a hey day
creating an animated video for this song, or any other story book song
by Rush for that matter.)  Back to the poem...  If at all possible also
find an explanation of what inspired Coleridge to write it and how he
came to the end result.  Very interesting.

Ok, could someone please elaborate here.  Who was this fourth
member and on what tour did he join the group, and how long
did he last?  I have seen every tour since Moving Pictures,
some twice, and a couple three times, and I've never seen 4 people
on stage.  I know guests have appeared on certain songs/albums
(Hugh Syme for one) but I've never seen anyone on stage, so what
gives???

If there was a temporary fourth member, does anyone have
firsthand knowledge/commentary on his performance?

Yesterday, celebrating my recent job offer, I went out and bought a

TV and stereo. Then I placed one of my roommates videotapes i
the machine and was transfixed for an hour or so as I watched 
parts of Rush's _A Show of Hands_ video. 

While I have seen the thing several times, I have never heard 
it sound so incredible. It really made me appreciate that I had
dished out the extra cash for a Hi-fi vcr. 

It's too bad that the concert(s) from the video wasn't released on

Here is a lame parody of The Trees I wrote.  Actually, I really don't
know if "parody" is even the correct word.  I just modified lyrics of
The Trees to create a similar-but-different story, with only a little
humor.  I also have the first part of The Trees music if you have a PC
and BASICA/GW-BASIC/QBASIC.

Warning:  lame parody alert!!!

(you were warned!)



The Bees

There is unrest in the Beehive.  There is trouble with the bees.
For the Workers want more honey but the Queen just gives them cheese.

The trouble with the Workers (and their plight is quite a sight):
they say the Queen is just too lazy and she makes them work all night.
But the Queen bee just loves eating all the honey that they made
And she wonders why the Workers don't like eating marmalade.

There is trouble in the Beehive.  (Have you heard a word I've said?)
as the Workers scream for "Honey!" and the Queen just gives them bread.

So the Workers formed a Union and some Squirrels joined their fight.
"We will make Nut-n-Honey.  We will make it sweet and lite."
Now there's no more Queen oppression, for the Workers broke the law.
They chopped the Queen to pieces by hatchet, axe, and saw.

As you can tell, most of this parody is lame (its my first one!).  I only
like the last part of it.  E-mail flames to yourselves.  :)

	Uh, yeah.  Well, apparently they were thinking of touring with Jason
Bonham, so I guess that some people _ARE_ replaceable.  Anyway, lets see here,

	JPJ vs GL:  GL wins hands down, haven't heard many basslines like 
	Geddy's, Geddy's are like Jazz riffs, could be played a few octaves 
	higher on a guitar and sound great.  
	NP vs JB:  JB was a better _drummer_, while NP is the best percussionist	to ever play rock and roll.
	JP vs AL:  Two different styles, no comparison possible, unless you 
	bring personal taste into it.
	RP vs GL:  No contest.  RP's voicebox should be bronzed.  GL is unique,
	but not a true singer, althoug his newer stuff is great.
	
It is truly a moot point to discuss this, though, I mean who was better,
Mozart or Tchaikovsky, it is stupid to argue the point,it all depends on 
personal preference on styles...  They were both masters, but not of the same
styles of music....

When I hear 'Rush' and 'soundtrack' in the same sentence, I 
cannot help but think of Queen.  Then I think of movies like 
'Highlander' and 'Flash Gordon.'  Could you imagine Rush doing 
Kurgan's Theme?  Coolness!  :)
