I got the Neil Peart edition sticks from my father for my 22nd birthday, as best
as i can recall....having both listened to, and (attempted) play Neil's
intricate drum parts in Rush's tunes, i soon realised that no matter how great
the sticks....how good the emulation of the player....you just cant mimic a work
of art exactly. So despondant i shelved my Peart sticks....to think I would
never use them again. However one thing was brought to light by my old man, a
drummer himself for 30+ years...."Neil Peart masters his technique, his style
and his precision, he is a master...it is his job.....NOT yours." So armed with
the cold hard reality, i went out and tried to find another set of sticks to
place locked away...no luck and no hope. So instead i placed the good old Neil
Peart Edition 747's away...until I can play a full Rush album. The dust gathers
as i write now.... :)
Also ive enclosed a pic of my kit for your interest :)

partictular one was incredible. it sounded so clear--even the lights were
right on. it was beautiful. do you have any info on the band as far as an
album? cool pictures. laters

Hey-Just finished flipping through your site, and it's very cool. I've been
a RUSH fan for 25 years. I saw them in 1974 in a
movie theater in Port Huron, Michigan...it was $3! Since then I've seen
them about 20 times, and they never fail to amaze. I like all of their
stuff, but the first five albums are my favorites. Maybe it's because I'm an
old fart now! Keep up the good work...I'll be checking in on ya.

I have been listening to rush for four years and they are the best bad to ever garce this
planet. There music has helped me figure out things that I never thought were possible to complete.
And they also are the best band to study and work to.

live in concert regularly. Let's have a UK tour Geddy!!!!! Keep up the good work JMan. " I can

Excellent site! I was just reading TNMS and saw that you just built this. I, and I'm
sure I speak for all of us, thank you.
William, Titusville, FL
I've been a Rush fan since 1979. They're about the only group I will ALWAYS see
when they tour. To me there is truly no band that offer what they do on so many levels. They are
definately the only band that I can listen to indefinately... I never tire of any of their music. You've
got a great website going and I'll put a link to it on my "token" Rush Tribute page. Hey, by the
way, how much for those Niel Peart drumsticks! "Testing the limits of machine and man..." Zekial

How can you NOT have "Saw my post in the NMS" as a choice in the "How did you
find us?" section? My first Rush concert was the Fly By Night tour stop at the Aragon Ballroom in
Chicago in late '74 (or early '75; it's all a bit fuzzy now ;-) ).
Tommy Lee, Fairfax, VA
JMan2112, Your Rush page is lookin' fine! Nice job. Keep up the good work and
the great posts to TNMS.

Hello to all RUSH-fans over the world. If possible sent me some information about an
eventual European tour. Hello to all RUSH-fans over the world. If possible sent me some information about an
eventual European tour, or sites wich sell RUSH articles.
Michael, Scotland, UK
Fisrt saw Rush on 24th May 1983 in Ingleston Edinburgh, it was the signals tour.
They were awesome. Since then only managed to catch them twice, They don't tour Europe every
often. Moving pictures is still king, however permanent and 2112 are still up there. As you may
have guessed, an old rocker at heart. Listening primarily to radiohead, pearl jam. Great site you
have Regards Michael
Joe, Woodland Hills, CA
I've read your stories on NMS and wanted to see the site. Thanks for the
entertainment; your writing is as good as it gets on NMS.
Kevin, Did not leave location
Your website kicks ass! I just have one problem. My problem is is that when I saw
Rush on the Test For Echo Tour on the second leg on June 20, 1997 it said in real big writing on
the ticket NO CAMERAS ALLOWED. So in order for you to be able to take those behind the
scenes pictures you would have had to get special clearance. While those pictures may belong to
you, it has been my experience that most Rush fans are honest people not out to rip you off. For
example on my webpage when I use pictures or graphics from another site I try to obtain
permission and I credit my source. I guess what I'm trying to say is that by threatening to prosecute
people your only turning people off. Your website is great, but you might lose a lot of guests by
continuing to take the attitude your taking. I don't mean to ramble here but I would be very
interested in using some of these pictures on my site, with your permission of course and you will
get credit for anything that I use. My email address is (DELETED!) You can either get back to
me via email, or by signing my guestbook. Thank you for your time. Kevin Barnes
Devon, Mesa, AZ
can you send me somew information on rush, anything.... for example newsletters, I
love them but don't ever hear enough about them. I saw their last 2 T4E concerts in phoenix and
hope they come back soon. Thank You Devon
Patrick, Michigan
Thanks for keeping the spirit of rush alive. They are truly a gift and fans like us are the
"nobody's hero" of the music scene.
Dave, Buffalo, New York
yet another awesome site found due to tnms. rush-on!!!!
Guffer, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
As I listen to "Different Stages .Live" (you know disc 3 is the best!!!!!), I surf to a
true fan site!!!! I was there for the "All The World's A Stage" live album at Massey Hall in
T.O.(Toronto, Canada-1976)....I know that makes me sound old...but.....what I mean is that I
was at one of the sold-out shows that week...you got to know RUSH ROCKS ALWAYS and
FOREVER!!!!!!!! Keep it going!!!! If you want the classic CAN -TUNE... "Battlescar" (RUSH &
Max Webster)...email me....maybe I can send a mp3 file to you!!!!
Mark, Fairfield, CA
Hate to use the cliche'. But I WAS a huge "old RUSH" fan. Listening became harder
after Moving Pictures. Bu as Neil wrote "Conform or be Cast Out". RUSH conformed and I
didn't. Will always have great respect and appreciation for their talent. Viva Professor!!!
Scott, Baltimore, MD
Your page looks pretty good
Kai, Wisconsin

motivate me further every day. Thanks
