i just saw this, someone please ban Mr Tristan. He has no business being on a forum with things related to music and or sound!!!!!!!!!! Neil Peart forever!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone comparing to someone in the last 20 years is stupid. it is like people trying to compare Michael and Lebron, you just cant do it. It is impossible!! Neil was one of the best drummers that ever lived and Rush had a sound that definitely changed the landscape. A sound they stayed true to. Nothing worse than a band evolving into to shit music.
I love supporting product that supports me!

I'll be honest, I just can't stand Rush. But I've just been reminded by this thread that everyone has different musical tastes, probably related to the generation we grew up with. One of my favourite bands is Radiohead. They've been revolutionary and have evolved greatly over the years. My kids would say they are crap and I should be listening to Drake.... One thing for sure, Canadians rule when it comes to music! (or we just make crappy music that the world mistakes for being good)

A lot of people don't even realize the these are Canadian:

Rush
Justin Beiber
Drake
Neil Young
The Weekend
Celine Dione
Shania Twain
Brian Adams
Leonard Cohen
David Foster
Joni Mitchell
Allessia Cara
Shawn Mendes
Alanis Morrisette
Paul Anka
The Minipop Kids (my son Carter is in this!)

The list goes on and on....

Of all things, Hockey? Don't you mean basketball? One team against your entire country was all we needed.

One year and you are going to try to talk smack? That’s just embarrassing for you. Don’t go there.

For your own sake, you should have left it off the list.

You left a few off, although some on the list could be considered a bit of a stretch to call them "Detroit" musicians/groups.

Doug Fieger
Dick Wagner
Jackie Wilson
Suzi Quatro
Martha and the Vandellas
Della Reese
Mary Wells
Rare Earth
Fred Smith
Sonny Bono
Gladys Knight
Aaliyah
Don Was
George Clinton
Bootsy Collins
Mitch Ryder
Marshall Crenshaw
Anita Baker
John Lee Hooker

and many, many more.

BTW, Ted Nugent is a draft-dodging a-hole who can't play the guitar worth sh!t

Maybe, but he can gut and skin a deer like nobody’s business. Let’s see Beiber try that

Alright, now we know how Americans feel about us Canadians. They claim our musicians and hockey players as their own, drink our lake water to nurture Detroit artists, use our websites to piss on us and steal our lumber to produce the finest guitars. Daniel Tonks, I think you should ban them and make this a Canadian only forum. Time for us to stop being so polite and proceed with conquering the world.

YOUR lakes?

Lumber? OK, more Sitka Spruce grows in Canada, but Adirondak Spruce is roughly an even split between US and Canada. Not sure where most of the Maple for guitars comes from, but it could easily be US-sourced. Most of the other wood species used for guitars comes from outside of North America.

Musicians and hockey players go to where the money is.

The Beatles were together for a grand total of seven years.

According to Wikipedia, but this is not a direct quote,

After mucking about with their name for a few months early in 1959, they became The Beatles in mid-August 1959.

Their last album was Let It Be, from May 8, 1970.

Yup. Seven years.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
