We have always been fans of Rush. Yes, Rush, the Canadian power trio.
As we were watching a documentary on the band, something that guitarist Alex Lifeson said rang true with what my wife and sister said.
We were at a Rush concert a little over a year ago. My sister, here husband, my wife and I. As it is at a typical Rush show, over 90% of the crowd was male. My wife and sister were talking about how they had never really thought about a band being a guy band, but Rush was definitely a guy band.
Personally, we never really thought about it. Rush rocks. End of story. Never really gave much thought about them being a guy band. We just liked the music. Also, we never actually cared. Just liked the music.
In the documentary, Alex Lifeson says (paraphrasing just a tad) "When we started almost 100% of our fans were male. Through the years, almost 100% of our fans are male."
We suppose this means Rush epitomizes the guy band.
I never did listen to Rush...My sisters were big Bon Jovi fans.
