My local fair has smelly acts this year

[megoapesnut]

The lead singer's voice grates on me to no end

For what it is worth, my wife and daughter totally agree with you!

[sauce]

I saw Rush at the Los Angeles Forum and was in the front row, baby!
Circa 1989 or so

I would love to see Moving Pictures live but even better would be 2112!

[samurainoir]

Weezer! I've seen them a few times. They put on a fun show.

[megoapesnut]

OH GAWD YEAH! 2112 live would be fantismal! I would fly to see that show if they weren't anywhere within driving distance

[huedell]

They are definitely a love em or hate em band. Aint no in between.

Actually, as much as I'm not a fan...I don't "hate" them...their "hits"
are tolerable.

????? Altho' I'd say they are one of the best rock bands to have a decent
sized career...their live shows have never been ones to get good reviews.
From what I've heard they are basically lifeless onstage.

In the early 80's sometimes I would mix some of their songs up with Styx

refering to Rush, that is

[kerowack]

You are out of your mind, thread starter. There's something there for ALMOST everybody (almost is the category that you fall into). Better luck next year!

[Bizarro Amy]

Weezer's not a bad act. And I've heard Gaslight Anthem on WXPN - they weren't as bad as some of the stuff you hear on traditional rock stations.

Hallejuiah brutha!

[thomasjo_2093]

What a drag. We had Sammy Hagar, Charlie Daniels, Steppenwolf, The Animals, Los Lonley Boys, Jonny Lang, Foghat, and Blue Oyster Cult at the Naperville RibFest. It was a great 4th of July weekend full of good music and food.

Regardless, the best drummer/percusionist ever in Neil Peart is worth seeing.

And what about Subdivision?

But I do realize Geddy Lee's voice is not the best but he's a good bassist.

[LadyZod]

A guy I used to work with WORSHIPS Rush, and to a lesser extent BOC... anyhoo, whenever he was on, the radio would be confiscated and it was an all Rush day.

And being a jackass, as I tend to be, I would walk up to him and play stupid... and ask, "Who's THIS band? I like the singer."

Rob would say, "It's Rush."

And I would say, " Man, that chick has a set of pipes. She hot?"

That usually earned me a stack of comics being thrown in my direction, but man it was worth it... even if it was a stack of super chromium Valients and Malibu's.

Neil Peart is the best drummer to ever pick up a set of drumsticks. That is not an opinion, that is a fact. There are some that are close, I'll grant that.

Geddy is one HECK of a bassist. Watch Red Barchetta live if you get a chance. He plays bass like it's lead guitar.
