First off – the movie is just flat-out a good film, regardless of the subject. Very well done, excellent production values… it does the job of a documentary in getting out of the way, making you often forget you’re watching a documentary.
It’s refreshing to hear from so many musicians (Billy Corgan, Trent Reznor, Sebastian Bach, Gene Simmons) who are able to intelligently articulate Rush’s place in future history.
As for the amazing cache of hidden pictures and film that remained buried until now, I’ll be looking forward to even more on the DVD.
If you tolerate Rush, the film will make you like them.

Most comprehensive documentary I’ve ever seen.Growing up with the band through my high school years, and with our favorite radio station out of Cleveland helping break the band in the States, it was a special time. This film made me laugh, cry, and realize how cool it really was. Thank You.
Thanks for all the years of concerts in San Antonio

Dear RUSH, I have thought you were the most awesome Band since 1976 when I was 16 years old, all I can say is I absolutely love you guys. I want to extend my condolences to Niel for losing his daughter and his wife, I losy my wife to blood clots on May 30th 2008 she was only 41 years old and I just adored her, and like Niel I went riding on my motorcycle every where in 3 years since her death I put over 50,000 miles on my motercycle and I am now 51 years old. God Bless you guys and much love for all three of you. Sincerely, Clayton Pronger P.S. it would be great if you responded, oh and also my 3rd cousin is Chris Pronger
