The rock music press has never been kind to the Canadian trio, Rush. Rush has only gotten respect and admiration from the one group of people that really mattered, the fans. True devotion on the part of loyal followers has allowed Rush to continue to put out a huge body of recorded work that has spanned over thirty- five years. Each album brings a large scale tour and the band's followers turn out to see a great musical and visual presentation.
Rush were heavy when heavy was not cool, Rush comprised of three guys playing their hearts and minds out on sleeve and stage. Rush made you want to play better than that other guy in class, also providing a reading list for mind-feeding while you recovered from bleeding fingers, tender blood blisters and tendonitis.
They did it in waves, to full currents of aspiring rockers, beginning thereabouts with underground breakthrough 2112 in 1976, that record combining science fiction with philosophy (Ayn Rand) and literature (George Orwell), metal with progressive rock (Rush helped birth progressive metal – a huge musical genre today), also delivering one of the early concept albums.
Rush is one of the few bands to conquer the divide between the more intimate progressive rock listener and FM rock radio. When bands like Yes and ELP were having trouble staying on the airwaves, Rush maintained their visibility. Always updating their sound but keeping those familiar touches.
In the process, a great many musical "offspring" have been spawned by Rush. So many of today's finest players have been influenced by Lifeson, Lee and Peart that the time has finally come to put forth an homage to these fine musicians.
