im with fiv4fightin..... i have seen Rush every year since 1981, and I have never seen them open up for another band.... They are definitely in the same category as Zeppelin..... they played the same halls, sold the same amount of tickets...... anyone that was listening to one usually was listening to the other!!!!

I have seen RUSH every time they have played in Seattle since 1976, plus once in L.A. and most recently in Las Vegas (May 10,2008) the day before Rutsey passed. Of all these shows they were the headliner each time. So Aquila60,1would you mind letting us all in on your little secret? When did Rush open for another band and who were they?
Also, help me out here, how long has/was Led Zep together? Where can I purchase some of their new material? Are they playing anywhere other than on VH1 CLASSICS?

anybody out in cyberspace who thinks that they can critisize any working band or musician are way out of line unless they themselves are a musician. its kinda like calling certain artworks trash when you cant even draw stick people so all of you non players give me a friggin break!!

RIP John Rutsey. The first RUSH song I ever heard was "Working Man" - great song!
For those who wonder "Who the hell was RUSH?" - One of the greatest rock bands of all time, who makes music to this day. I just got "Snakes and Arrows Live", and it's great to listen to on long drives. Classic stuff mixed with new stuff.

Rush should be classified as intellectual rock! RIP John.

Everybody has a band nowadays, but it is very unusual to have an impact such as Rush did. Like them or not, you have to respect the legacy. I pray that John now rest in the sweet loving arms of heaven, and thank them all from the bottom of my heart for their tremendous contribution to rock music.

mistermarm, you know nothing about music when you make comments like that. how bout this statement............."YOU SUCK"! HOW DO YOU LIKE THOSE APPLES. RUSH is as good as any band i've ever heard in my life. i dont like comparing them to anyone because they are so much different. their first album came out the year i graduated from high school and i never quit buying them. LONG LIVE RUSH !!!!!!!.
