neil pert is all of rushes hype,,,they guy is a good drummer,,,sence there has been many metal drummers that have blown away his records,,,i think slayers drummer has the guiness book of records for most beats per min..atleast in 1998 book i read,,,and most complicated beats on record,,dont dout the talent of the metal head artist,,some of them are very trained in all styles of music

A bunch of stoned teenagers make it a top album, i'm impressed. If selling albums makes you a great musician then brian adams is great:rolleyes:

I don't dislike them, I think they suck.

BTW, don't compare metallica to the floyd either

Selling albums doesn't make you great, but selling them without radio play says something.

And they were drunk teenagers, not so much stoned.

I take it you're saying Rush gets played more on radio than Metallica?

BTW, I'de see Alice in chains b4 Metallica.

I think Rush sucks, not really proving much of anything there with what we think though.

It is entertaining to see how you get all emotional when someone disses Rush... Please use more rolleye emoticons, they make you look just as queer as Rush sounds.

Or as queer as metallica sounds.

BTW, it seems more people are getting upset about the dis on metallica...........pssst, take a look;)

No, referring to Metallica selling a few hundred thousand albums before they had a major-label record deal or a radio single.

Six, would you be surprised to hear that back in like '87 Geddy Lee called Metallica "one of his favorite bands" From a musicians stand point the stuff they did on Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets it genious. In fact, I would go as far as to say that Metallica was the Rush of the 1980's, except for the fact that Rush was the Rush of the 1980's

Thier songs (both bands) were all well thought out and arranged, Rush being more bluesy. Very well produced in the studio and lyrics that actually told a story. Usually fantasy in Rush songs/albums, ie. 2112. Usually historical/religious/really cool stuff with Metallica. Point is that, at least I, hold both of these band's early careers at about the same level of talent and make me want to jam song writing ability.

And Metallica did it, as mentioned above, with NO radio play. Heck, they RAIRLY played a Metallica song in Houston on the radio until after Cliff Burton died, I'll never forget what I was doing when I heard the sad knews. (he was my idol as a teen, I was a bass player back then and he was tha man as far as I was concerned) They did it through word of mouth of a bunch of stoned teen agers

all across the nation/world. Though I really can't speak for what happened in Europe or when because I'm not a stinky frenchman!

So I don't know how they made it big there or when.

They definitely do not suck though.....

Puke,

I saw Triumph from the 6th row in '85

Rick was fricken bad! One of the best shows I ever went to. Thank you Canada for Rush and Triumph! Though it still doesn't make up for one Celine Dion

[edit]

You have to listen to more than just the notes and words too. 1/2 of metallica's rythm was the way James picked his guitar. All the crunching E's had their own beat. VERY technical rythm's within the rythem of the song. Orion, Call of K'tulu oh man! The best instrumentals of the mid 80's!

I'm not getting upset...

Oh yeah, Metallica's drummer compares to neil peart

Both of those were followed by the rolleye.

Rush sounds queer because their lead vocals whines non-stop.
