Rush is there because of the length of show they put on (typically 3 hours), and because you can make an argument for the three musicians in the band being the absolute best at the instruments they play.

Exactely, although I wouldn't personally put Alex up in that debate. He is great, but I'm not sure that he would survive outside of the band.

Ghetty Lee is by far and away the greatest bassist I have ever seen live (I've seen YES). Anyone that doubts this need only watch/listen to Freewill live. It is one of the fastest and cleanest bass performances ever. Throw in the fact that he sings during it and...

Neil Peart requires no further introduction. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]


I was fairly shocked to see RUSH on this list when I opened it. Nice to see someone with good taste.

is more likely implying U2 sucks live

then U2 is a great live band but there are some new bands out there that are awesome live

I voted U2. While I've never seen them live in person, I really enjoy several of their live songs. I don't care if they're mainstream. I don't care if every teenage girl in this country listens to them. I don't care if their guitar riffs are uncomplicated. I don't care that maybe they aren't "underground" or "on the cutting edge of music." I don't care if liking them makes me "not cool."

Thank god. Very refreshing. Too many losers get their entire identity from music. Things leads to them doing anything possible to appear cool musically, because hey that's what makes up their entire being. It's funny watching people get noticeably mad when you say you like a group like U2.

You are the definition of a music tool.

[/ QUOTE ]

why? because i didn't name a band that you like? by saying this you're really baring your insecurity for all to see. that's brave of you, and i commend you. perhaps oprah will feature your tale of courage in an upcoming show.

Add another one for Rush. As someone else said above, it's nice to see that someone has good taste. Alex Lifeson shreds, Geddy Lee is one of the best bassists (if not THE best) I've ever heard, and Neil Peart, well, he's a god.
