Rush (Lee and Peart at least) are 10x the musicians that Pearl Jam are. I'm going to see them for the first time in 10+ years and am pretty stoked. Time to rediscover the roots... anyone else? They're doing the entire "Moving Pictures" album to boot... holy shit.

    Have a lot of respect for neil peart and geddy lee as artists, have fun man. Doubt I'll ever get to see them in australia :)

    I'd love to see Rush come to the UK. I'm originally Canadian so got to love Rush, I grew up in the neighbourhood they're from.

    ,..Now that being said, Pearl Jam are still better!

    There is no better drummer than Peart and Geddy was way ahead of his time on bass. I saw them in '08 and they sounded better than ever. I will definitely hit one or two stops on their upcoming tour. IMO Moving Pictures is one of the finest albums ever made. Hearing it in its entirety, LIVE, is going to be quite an experience. Enjoy! :D

    Seriously love PJ and as much as they are a great band, RUSH technically are far ahead of our boys. PJ songs hit the heart more for me. I have seen RUSH 13 times and still am amazed at the sound produced from 3 people. If you've never seen them live, do yourself a favor and go. That said...wrong board for this topic.

    Wow... This is interesting. I'm a 40 yr old PJ freak. Ive seen PJ 15 or so times. Rush on the other hand was my first concert back in 1985 or so... their "Signals" Tour. Early Rush is great! I think Alex Lifeson is the most under-rated guitarist out there... just listen to his solo's man.. they are sick. Rush has lost me over the last 10 years. Actually I was lost as soon as the Seattle scene happened in the early 90's. I think McCready and Gossard are tremendous guitarists. They are a great 1-2 punch!

    I'm seeing them in Columbus, can't wait. I was telling some friends about that and one of them went, "What are you. Forty?" Fuck you. I know good music when I hear it.

    I was previously loosly familiar with Rush but I've recently started listening to the albums. Tried to apporach it in a chronological manor. Was blown away by their eponymous debut (then I went out of order and listened to Moving pictures once also great), but I didn't care too much for Fly By Night and Caress of Steel after a couple of listens each. However I've then I got to 2112 and OMG!!!!!! How great is that record. Just the title song is fucking immense. The concept, the level of musicianship, and just the fucking songwriting. One of the most amazing muscial experiences I've ever had. Brilliant.

    I'm a huge Rush fan and a huge Pearl Jam fan, but I think you can't really compare the two. It's like sunshine and water. You can love them both even though they are different. I think there's room for both Pearl Jam and Rush at the top.

    My favorite Rush song is Bytor, mainly because of the guitar battle and drum solo. Favorite album is probably A Farewell to Kings. Haven't liked much since Moving Pictures.
    It's nice to be nice to the nice.

    Both bands are in my all time top 5 but it's apples and oranges to compare them I think..

    Great band. Plan to see them Tuesday in Boston.
    NEVER would go to see them 2 times in one tour.
    28 shows this tour and the exact same set list every single show.
    Maybe they sound so tight live because it is the same show every night.
    38

    Man... Long time Rush fan, this will be my first time seeing them, 2 weeks from tonight and I'm super stoked. It's going to be awesome. Massive Neil Pert fan... no offense to the likes of Danny Carey, Matt Cameron, etc, but there isn't a drummer on this planet that can keep up with Neil IMO.

    I don't want to compare Rush and PJ... both are amazing in their own right, but they are two completely different music styles (within the rock and roll genre of course).

    Interesting side note for any Canadian's out there (or just Rush and/or Trailer Park Boys fans): One of the guys who play on my rec hockey team in Houston, TX, grew up in the same suburb as Geddy and Alex, and he was actually the guy who introduced Alex to the Trail Park Boys, which led to the most excellent day in Sunnyvale Trailer Park history when Ricky kidnapped Alex.... :lol:
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    better musicians does NOT equal a better band.

    Rush is definately my favorite closely followed by PJ. 18 studios and still touring and still sound good! I do agree with above posters that comparing Rush to PJ is like comparing apples to oranges. This thread should be moved to "Other Music".
