I guess the OP left it open for these kinds of posts when he added "& DESPISE"
Therefore why I thanked him for his input and it's absolutely fine to Despise the band. Feel free to jump aboard and vent your like or dislike of the band please. I do believe they have a fair amount of fans who happen to like them.

Well I'm sort of a RUSH NUT quirky, geeky type. I've only missed one tour since then Counterparts Tour opening night for my softball team.. No the band hasn't said anything of the sort but from interviews and peeps in the know say they'll retire before they're of retirement age so this could be their last major tour. Also I believe they would not announce this is our final tour stuff, I believe they will record, play the shows then just say that's enough. Besides Neil has a child under 5 he would to spend more time with.

They really don't seem like the type of band that would hype up their final tour for publicity purposes, and that's what I love about them! And while Geddy's voice is about as unique & definitive as they come, it has lost some if its luster during the last two tours. I think they would actually call it quits and go out on top rather than continue on into utter embarassment like some bands (*cough*cough* Rolling Stones *cough*).
The Time Machine tour was a pretty damn fine exclamation point as far as I'm concerned, but bet your ass I'll go see them again on the Clockwork tour.
Definitely see them live if you can. For a bunch of almost 60-somethings, they absolutely bring it every time. I've seen every tour since Roll The Bones (I was 15) and haven't looked back. P/G has me beat, but I've seen Rush around 20 times. They're my "other" Pearl Jam.
Bright eyed kid: "Wow Typo Man, you're the best!"
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
No matter what anyone thinks about Rush, whether they like them or not, I think everyone can pretty much agree that Neil Peart is the greatest drummer of all time!
Damn the Roll the Bones tour must have been awesome...

I saw them twice on the Time Machine tour and it was a fantastic show. They performed the Moving Pictures album in the show and that was incredible. Rush is one of the bands that I listened to while growing up and for certain albums, every note is forever etched in my brain.

LOVE Rush! I was lucky enough to see them last year and they were amazing live. I'll definitely check them out again. Rush is one of those bands that sounds just as good or better live, I think.
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
