I don't hate the band but I do hate the fans.

Mostly cause when I first started internetting as a teen I was posting in the music section of some forum and there was this one guy who was such a pretentious **** and he worshipped tool.

Chula Vista

Went to a lot of concerts but only tripped once. Rush, 12/2/1977, Fitchburg Theater. They hadn't made it big yet so it was a pretty small place.
Stage still looked like this with only a single small synth (hidden in the pic).



Elbows on the stage right in front of Lifeson. Was so amazing except for the half hour or so I freaked out thinking the truss over my head was going to fall and kill me.

You just answered what i was thinking. Im neutral when it comes to tool and most times when i see them get hate ppl just attack their fanbase. I mean i get fanboys are annoying but if the artist music is actually not that bad idk why they would die on that hill.

for me it goes a bit beyond basic fanboyism

It's how arrogant and pretentious they are about it. They talk about the band and the artwork and everything related like it has this deep inner meaning. Almost religious about it.

Like dude was telling me rap lyrics aren't deep cause they're just about everyday **** where as Maynard he sings about how the gravity from Saturn can affect your mood. Not a made up example, he said that and he was serious.

Re: Rush 1977-78
Went back to see if there was crowd data (no).
Pretty crazy how hard these guys were working
after the underground success of 2112.

I once dated a girl who was sure she was Jon Anderson's spiritual sister.
Funny, she drove me insane on the drive home from that very same Rush show with
her cosmic babbling (she was tripping too). Never dated again but stayed friends.

Jeez, thinking back there was 5 of us jammed into a Mustang and all on acid.
Fitchburg back to our area was lots of windy back roads and the driver said it
was the first video game he ever played.
