JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Awesome. They usually come to SPAC (Saratoga, NY) in the summer. I haven't seen them since Hold Your Fire in 1987. I think I'm due for another go around. Yeah I'm hopeful for Satatoga or Darien Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yeah I'm hopeful for Satatoga or Darien Lake. Ironically, I saw on Facebook tonight from local radio station Classic Hits 101.7 that Rush is, indeed, coming to SPAC. Woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yeah I saw it too. Exciting! But I can't confirm it on Ticketmaster or Rush's website. They leave North America for Europe in May. I'm assuming they'll hit the outdoor NY venues in July or August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanNC Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Nice! Did you go VIP or regular? What seats were available? I went with the regular pre sale, there were no floor seats available even though I got in right when it started. I ended up with "center ice" seats about 10 rows up. In other news it was announced that the Foo Fighters will induct Rush into the hall. http://m.rushisaband...ll-Hall-of-Fame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about being 30 feet from the stage and 2 feet from a bar that is appealing to me. Or better yet leaning on the stage and a cocktail waitress getting me drinks.

BillsFanNC Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Earlier in the thread I know that Yes was mentioned a few times about why they aren't in yet. Well Chris Squire was asked recently about Rush getting in before Yes. Rush are getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Are you at all miffed they got it before you? [Laughs] No, I can't object to that. Logistically, it's probably difficult for whoever the committee is to bring in Yes. Rush is fairly simple. It's the same three guys and always has been. They deserve to be there, no doubt about that. But there still seems to be a certain bias towards early-Seventies prog rock bands like Yes and King Crimson. I still think it's weird that Chicago isn't in. That to me is odd. In our case, we're on our 18th member. If we ever do get inducted, it would be only fair to have all the members, old and new. So that may be a problem for the committee. I don't know. But you're not angry about it? No, of course not. I've got plenty of other awards. http://music.yahoo.c...ling-stone.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To Pegulavilla Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Tonight's the night! That music museum in Cleveland finally gains some credibility with the induction of Rush. http://www.cbc.ca/ne...ll-of-fame.html I'm hearing Rush will perform the obvious tunes: Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio and maybe some YYZ. Big day for Rush and Rush fans worldwide. Rush Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Induction is long overdue and well deserved. Alex, Neil, and Geddy are some the greatest musicians and people to ever grace this planet. Words alone cannot express the positive impact Rush has had on my life. I can honestly say ''I have dined on honeydew and drink the milk of paradise''. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Unless John Rutsey is right there with them, this is a sham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Unless John Rutsey is right there with them, this is a sham. Not sure if you're serious or not, but just in case Rutsey passed away a few years ago. Also, the HOF recently announced that he would not be included as a member of Rush, just Geddy, Alex and Neil are going in. I agree that is a sham that he isn't included as he was a part of Rush, albeit a small one. Edited April 18, 2013 by BillsFanNC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider the HOF a complete joke, but if there ever was a legitimate HOF, I wouldn't expect Rutsey to be mentioned, other than in a band bio.

BillsFanNC Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Not sure how I missed this during induction week, but Jeff Miers of TBN hits the nail on the head IMO on why Rush is so often dissed by rock critics. http://www.buffalone...GUSTO/130419178 “It ain’t ever gonna happen. Regardless of their success, Rush have never achieved critical acclaim and no one will ever vote for them ... most of it gives me a headache... Technical proficiency is not a valid reason to induct an artist, and Rush really hasn’t done anything unique.” Tonight, as the class of 2013 is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, via a ceremony at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the air will be filled with many beautiful sounds – from the performers, to the high-profile artists chosen to induct those performers with speeches, to the assembled cheering on their heroes. But most beautiful of all for some will be the sound of Rolling Stone senior editor and rock hall board member David Wild, who is the man quoted above, eating his words. For tonight, the Canadian progressive rock trio Rush will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. ....... So when Rush joins the rest of the class of 2013 (Public Enemy, Heart, Randy Newman, Albert King and Donna Summer) in the rock hall tonight, it will be difficult for many of us to view this as anything less than a victory for rock music that dares to be unapologetically itself, regardless of the strictures placed upon that music by the supposed tastemakers. Rush songs have consistently traded in lyrics that celebrate the individual, that honor integrity in one’s actions, that place a high premium on the ability of hard-earned, vigilantly protected dreams to elevate individual existence beyond the pale of the status quo. Tonight, that consistent vision is being honored right alongside the three men who have fostered and protected it for four decades. How’s it taste, David Wild?

BillsFanNC Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 If Yes gets in, Chris Squire wants Rush to induct them.. http://kearth101.cbs...and-jimmy-page/ If you get in, who would you want to do the speech? I haven’t given it much thought, maybe those Rush guys who got in last year! I’m pretty good friends with Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins (of the Foo Fighters) and they did a great speech for Rush… so probably not them, since they just did one. But if you know Geddy (Lee), let him know that that would be fine by me. I don’t know how these things work, though, I don’t know how much control we have, how much control the voting committee has, and of course we’re still kind of wondering how many members of Yes would be inducted.

Azalin Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Question: How is Donna Summer, who never played a note of Rock N Roll in her life, voted in but Deep Purple is not? Purple should have been inducted decades ago, at least while Jon Lord was still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
