Question for Rush fans (nsc)
Dec 1^st, 2014 at 11:11pm

I used to like Rush and can appreciate the musicianship in that band. Geddy Lee has to be on the list of the best bassists ever, and Peart is definitely a top drummer.

But why is Geddy doing his laundry onstage?

They did that at SARS too.

I was looking at the stage wondering why these industrial washers were going. What was really odd was when the roadies came out and moved everything to the dryers.

Just to the right of the drums - you can see them on the large screen behind Geddy:

That was part of that tour...the next one had chicken rotisserie's behind the band and after that a time machine.

It just shows that like the Stones they have run out of staging ideas....but RUSH has never, never, ever had to slip to fighting with a plush toy while trying to bend open the rubber bars of some sort of inflatable moonwalk cage while the band chugs on and on in the back ground.... thank all things good and holy.

I saw the Time Machine tour and loved it. Alex Lifeson is amazing...

He belongs in a Federal prison.

No, idiot, he should be in prison for treason, sedition, slander, libel, and other crimes directly related to his sexual activities with minors in South American countries and his procuring Schedule A narcotics without a prescription (not that I have a huge problem with that one, just that he's a massive hypocrite in his railing against it for ordinary people without his cash and lawyers).

And yes - he was a registered Democrat when he started his radio show; don't know if he still is, but he's certainly an avaricstic, hypocritical, lying greedhead who will say anything for money, whether he believes it or not. The definition of cynicism.

Here comes everybody.

Wasn't his death in 2008 the reason that why they dont play anymore Lifeson in that video looks like has taken donut eating lessons from Mick Taylor Mahogany Rush was a decent band I am told.
