Poncho Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I can’t believe this didn’t get more press or attention.. the Hip got more and they were nothing but an Ontario bar band. Rush was world class, no hit on Gord, but really.....pretty weak Canadian response, but no surprise. Most new Canadians have no idea who Rush is or was. Sad country Edited January 23, 2020 by Poncho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poncho Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 And for the record they played at my high school, I was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I never cared much for Rush, it really was an acquired music sound that you had to like. Also, think about this stat Between 1996 and 2016, The Tragically Hip were the best-selling Canadian band in Canada and the fourth best-selling Canadian artist overall in Canada. They were known to a generation when Rush was not really a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1trailmaker Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 This is true RUSH never made the impact THE HIP did, having said that RUSH musically are masters but that does'nt translate into mass fame. Most people I know can't stand Rush and barely like the HIP Also being a Drummer isn't top of the hill either, I got to say Drum solos for the most part are horrible to listen to during a concert. 1 minute great, 5 minutes please give it a rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybeacher Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 A buddy of mine sat in on Neil’s kit. I remember him saying it was plated in gold. Btw the hip is at best, a bar band. I’ve worked a few hip shows, and one year I worked back to back shows, they played the exact same set, and downies poetry crap was exactly the same word for word both nights. Tragically disappointed. Although, I did spend an afternoon on a patio with gord Sinclair, that guy is down to earth and overall a solid dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry man, but that is just sad in so many levels. There is zero comparison to Rush, end of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poncho Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hated the Hip. Very boring music. Rush was the world leader of progressive rock world wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted January 25, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 25, 2020 Love the Hip but (talent wise) they were a fraction of Rush. The Hip was a Canadian success story, Rush was international. My Top Canadian bands. 1. Rush 2. Tragically Hip 3. Blue Rodeo 4.
