Bassy's failing at being a bassist is clear - he has no appreciation of a groove. This may also be why he can't dance. And why he can't pull hot chicks. And why he dribbles when he eats. And why he sometimes had to wear a nappy at primary school. And why his mouth moves when he reads. And why people just think there's something wrong with him.

Bassy, if you spent more time listening to Primus and Rush and less time icing logs you wouldn't be such a miserable failure as a bass player.

I havent heard that before, really cool, in fact I have not heard much Rush but I know they are the ducks littluns and folk are mad for 'em.

Best bassist? I don't know. I think he may be. I had a gap in my 'dream band' and it was who would fill the role of bass player, it might as well be Geddy Lee.

Danny's Dream Band;

James Hetfield (rhythm geetar and vocals if he was 10 years younger)
Dave Mustaine (rhythm geetar)
Chris Adler (drums, here)
Bass....maybe Geddy.

Too many option for lead guitarist. Cant be bothered even trying to think who for that role.

Now just add,

Freddie Mercury (vocals)
Ronald Jenkees (keyboards)
Ted Nugent (lead guitar) Nahhhhh.....

Not only are Rush the greatest band in the world they are also the most stylish.

Rush as glam rockers

Here they are "getting lucky" with The Runaways

Rush in their "kimono" phase

Rush - the mullet years

On the back cover of 2112 they sport nice white flares (see previous page) and on the inside sleeve of All the World's a Stage live album from 1976 the combo of white flares, platform clogs and kimonos is a real winner.

The 80s look was also a highpoint.


..duet with Aimee Mann and flying drumkits....


Mullets and pastel jackets....

Rush are playing in Dublin this Thursday! Can't wait!
