From a Rush gig in San Fran:

Another babe magnet would be King Crimson. Is it because Fripp sits down all the time?

Ha ha, that’s hilarious.
You know, I would expect this from bands that SCARE chicks like death metal bands, grindcore bands etc, but I would think that Rush would have SOME female fans!
I hate Rush.

I’m on that boat as well. I get a lot of shit about it as well.
Rush is one of those bands that I truly, truly hate. And if someone is really into that band, there is a great probability that I will hate that person too.
It’s just so friggin’ nerdy. It’s like everything that rock and roll isn’t turned into one big nerdy fagfest.
Go roam the streets until you find me 5 guys with RUSH t-shirts on. They will undoubtedly be stocky, bearded, wearing glasses, and have a bit of a pot-belly. They will look like some jackass computer programmer from 1982. They are not the guys you would ever want to party with. They are not the guys you would ever want to drink with. They are never with chicks. Chicks don’t like them. And they dress like completely clueless bozos (nice sneakers, jackass!). They just represent everything that WOULDN’T make a concert awesome.
“Oh, but dude, you obviously know nothing about drumming because Neal Pert is the . . .” SHUT UP, NERD!!!
"Did you know that Rush is the only band to . . " I SAID SHUT UP!!!
“Yeah, but what about Geddy Lee . . .”
Geddy Lee? Good gravy, Son, that cat makes Tom Petty look like Brad Pitt had Tom Cruise’s love child. Geddy Lee is uncomfortably ugly. At least Lemmy’s ugliness is coated with a case a double-barrell badassness. Same with Iggy Pop and other notoriously grotesque rockers. They’re ugly . . . but they’re really, really COOL too and there’s something inherently sexy about their hideous form.
Rush is like the whitest band in the world. You would never find a Mexican that liked Rush. You would never find a black guy that liked Rush. Even Asians aren’t lame enough to like Rush. White people are the only people lame enough for this band. And this band, for the whitest of white people, is like the anthem to their lives. They like this crap because it’s safe and makes them feel ‘smart’.
No one goes to a Rush concert and wonders if they’re gonna get in a fight. No one goes to a Rush concert and thinks stage diving would be a good idea. I bet at Rush concerts more wine is sold than beer. And the beer that is sold is probably microbrews or imports because the fans don’t like the taste of Bud Light and will talk at length about it.
As a lifelong metal fan it’s actually always irritated me whenever these dorks get lumped in as “heavy metal”. In my world they couldn’t be further from it.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! The comments on that video are excellent too.
A SALESMAN!
fuck u all…RUSH rules!
I’m with Gunnar for the most part. A lot of my friends like Rush, but I would characterize them as what Gunnar described. Just shitty music.
Rush may have nerdy lyrics BUT Moving Pictures is a classic.
Rush, King Crimson, Zappa and Yes probably have 3 albums worth of good songs between them.
But when they’re good… they’re fucking amazing.
The rest is just chin stroking tosh.
And as for the wimmin in the KC vid… maybe they saw KC and got confused and were to coked out to realise the difference when they saw the singer in the epic robes/pajamas and just started dancing anyway.
Ween shows attract tons of chicks. Most, if not all of them, on major drugs.
In my experience, 90% of all Rush fans turn out to be smelly I.T. guys who attend Renaissance Fairs wouldn’t know what to do with a girl if a naked one were thrown into their lap. So…this pic makes total sense.

That’s coz when Ween are funny, they’re actually funny. None of the bands I mentioned are.
And that especially applies to Zappa. Some of the most painfully unfunny shit I have ever heard. Beefheart stuck it to him.

Beefheart had more of a hook on those that dig music…I don’t like a lot of Zappa but even I can admit he was a genius
I am a female fan who attended said rush concert on sunday nite, and I will report that I used the women’s bathroom before the show and there was a fair representation of hotties preeening in front of the mirror. Granted, it is a given that there are waaaaayayyyyyyyy more male rush fans than female, but we do exist and we were there. Maybe the girls absolutely could not stand to miss even a moment of the band’s utterly compelling encore and had already peed during the set break? Whatever… the show was unbelievably good. Rush is a fantastically skilled and engaging jam band with a legendarily good stage show to boot. Not to be missed. Love them!!

That’s good news. Maybe the photograph has more to say about the difference in the size of bladders between men and women.

You’re lying. It must have been quite empowering, though, knowing you could have your pick of any of the fine specimens there. No, wait, that’s not empowering. That’s horribly, horribly depressing.

This is the worst shit I’ve ever heard.
As for Zappa, yeah he’s a genius. An incredibly unfunny and self indulgent one.
Beefheart- Mr Bungle- Ween- prog. that can actually be hilarious.
All others are just… the sort of people… [:/]
