The most "iconic" line-up for IM

[Forostar]

This thread has taken an epic turn.

Haha yes indeed! Brilliant!  

When I am at a Rush show I experience it like this:

Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart
            Lifeson (half a minute during his solo in Limelight <-  uploaded by yours truly)
Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart Peart

 

[Black Thunder]

I'd put Lee up front, though.

 

[Forostar]

Well, I should have added him indeed. I mean, he's a monster on bass and probably will end up in the top 3 of the bass-survivor.

But it's hard to keep my attention on him when Peart does his patterns.

I count NOTB as an iconic album (and I actually like Clive better than Nicko)

POM is my favourite album, but I agree about Clive.

As for the moment when Gers came in, Forostar is right. No Prayer was composed and recorded during the first half of 1990 ; I remember the band gathered just after new year's eve. So Gers joined very early in the year.

 

[Maturin]

Steve Harris
Nicko McBrain
Janick Gers
Dave Murray
Adrian Smith
Bruce Dickinson

Best line-up. I could take Maiden without Adrian and Bruce (as on The X Factor) but I always feel something is missing without Janick, who is my favourite member of the band.
