Please never stop posting WildRanger!

Your sweeping statements, are as nonsensical as they are wrong, but man are they funny!

So Rush aren't entertaining because they are too serious....































Wut

Man, Rush are not entertaining because they're not like The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Queen, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, KISS, ZZ Top, etc. They are totally different type of rock band. Do you realize that? They've never been ROCKSTARS!

I agree DLR is a clown and ruins any enjoyment of Van Halen.

I don’t think you know what "entertaining" means.

Name me any other band that came out with a couch cushion strapped to their back while playing guitar like Alex Lifeson.  You can't, "that's entertainment!"

Here's the thing, though.  They're not both similar.  Only one of them is similar.  The other is different.  That depends on whom you ask, though.  Some people say one of them is different, but the other is similar.  So it depends.  I agree that they were/are popular at the right time and they entertain people.


Van Halen entertain people, Rush don't, because they are too serious.
Van Halen just can't be serious since David Lee Roth is one of the biggest clowns in rock history.

I can't even.   I don't even agree with the Roth part, though at least I see where that's coming from.

Come on, guys, if Rush are entertaining then masses of chicks would be at their concerts. That's obvious.

David Lee Roth appealed to chicks, Geddy Lee certainly didn't.

It's not entertainment if only nerds are entertained by it.  Thousands of sold-out shows over the years, millions of albums sold, but not a single person was entertained.  To be honest, that's rather disappointing.  I'm sure Rush is immensely saddened that they never reached WildRanger's definition of entertainment.
