Same!

I find it humorous when people say they 'hate' Rush, often knowing very little about them aside from the few songs they've heard. You'd better do a ton of research on someone before you can unequivocally say you 'hate' them. There's really very little to hate about Rush. 'Dislike' their sound/vocals-maybe, but from all outward appearances, excellent humans!

I'm trying to remember if I ever got through. I was only in my early teens, and it's kind of murky now. I used to get SO nervous whenever I called into the radio and heard that ominous beep when they answered my call. Now I want to go through my old cassettes to see if I recorded myself on the radio.

That was such a strange era of RUSH. Most of it, at least what I think, was Geddy’s use of the Wal bass and the rest of the band having to adjust their sound to match it. But I understand that Geddy probably felt that the Wal bass and similar were the future and he was getting himself ahead of the game

@@MyVideos-fm7ug Ironically, Roll The Bones is one of my least favorite Rush albums. Other than Dreamline, the album does little for me. However, I'd go back to those days in a heartbeat

Me too my friend, I would love to go back to 1991 for a few reasons, if not just to be young again, 56 now and it sucks getting old !

Here in northern WV late 80’s until around 1997, most Friday and Saturday nights meant listening to 89.5 … it was an unidentified radio station, likely operating unlicensed, that would play entire albums. And he mostly played live Grateful Dead and RUSH And he, whoever he was, played a LOT of it. He would play a lot of other stuff that you never heard of as well. Especially local Morgantown bands that had made a record or two and were trying to get some level of air play The person running the station never spoke, or anything like that. Just played music beginning around 7 or 8, then ran it into the early morning around 5. 89.5 was especially cool having the whole “mysterious” factor. You couldn’t help but wonder who it was that was running it. But it could have been anybody. The station ceased around 1997, maybe a little later. I left for the army in fall of 1997, so… sone time around then

I remember every word. I too recorded it off the radio onto a Maxell cassette. Great to hear it again! 🤘

Especially the questions about death.
