You know your RUSH. You probably have multiple albums and most likely have seen them in concert a few times. You need to educate yourself a little more on the members of the band, to truly call yourself a fan, however. I am impressed though, and could easily spend an evening enjoying some music with you.




My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:
free online dating free online dating
 You scored higher than 99% on Knowledge


what?!!!!!! Censored

i answered every single concludent question correctly, the idea of Rush ending would make me sad and I own all Rush's official albums (thus 16 or more)!

except that I didn't attend any Rush concert

how am I just a fan by that?!Censored
i was robbed!
 
You must have missed another question, because I was never at a Rush concert but still squeezed a 85 % out of the test, to many bad questions BTW.
 
I did a Bowie test, and those were really tough questions.

Woot! I haven't been to any of their concerts, as I was unborn at the time. I lied so I wouldn't get docked. Tongue

LOL Tony Rush stood up for his idols...

I wish I'd been there though - as much as I wish I was in bed now. Night folks!

That's why I am so glad with the triple DVD Replay, it's an excellent view on the great concerts by Rush in the early - and mid-Eighties: everything between rock and roll and symphonic prog, inspired, innovative, excellent musicianship, wonderful interaction between fans and the band and a sophisticated lightshow Clap .. indeed fantastic NaturalScience!

First Rush gig: 1979 at Pinkpop Festival in Holland (Hemispheres tour) with the famous hurted finger from Alex Wink ..I was 18 years old in those days.
Then all Rush tours from Permanent Waves until Presto and finally the R30 tour so 9 times ... I am still very glad with that because it's an excellent substitute for not having seen early Genesis and ELP Cry ...

Don't know how old you are, but I'm 32... In fact I was born on the year the debut from Rush was released... Wink


I'm 29...Tony R was probably at a Farewell to Kings show when I was a few months old! LOL

I've seen them every tour since Presto and twice during the VT Tour (once in Montreal, the other time in their hometown of Toronto, magical evening outdoors with the full moon right above the CN Tower behind the stage!!!), so that's 7 times for me.

The test docks you points if you haven't been to 10 or more concerts.  That's a little harsh, if you ask me.  (It's also why, apparently, I didn't score 100  Embarrassed)
