Summary: A Rush Book Report
Review: The poor written quality of this work does no justice to the rare musical talents of the band members. The terms sophomoric and sychophantic characterize Banasiewitz' irrelevant ride on the groupie train. The best thing I can say about the book is that in the absence of a more comprehensive and professional work by the band members themselves (please!) it does fill a void. Of course, tossing 'Visions' into an empty trash can will accomplish the same thing.

Summary: Just awful
Review: This book is just bad beyond belief. The author comes off as an infatuated band groupie who can't resist inserting himself into the "biography" when one of the band members actually talks to him or nicknames him. It's an effort to get past his atrocious writing skills to the few passages with interesting information about the band. The entire book reads like a C-minus high school book report on a real biography. This book should not only be out of print, it should be removed from the planet. "B-Man", shame on you.

Summary: Formulaic history of Rush, good for new fans
Review: To be fair, this isn't such a bad book if you're a fan of Rush but don't know much about them. The writing is second-rate and the author tends to tell pointless stories about himself and make lame allusions to the bands lyrics, but you get a pretty good sense of Rush's history from the earliest days to the late eighties. If you're already a long-time fan of Rush, there's no new information here.

Summary: VISIONS - " Before the Internet " - Published in 1988
Review: You see , the problem lies within the fact these "5 year RUSH fans ", who are slashing this book,were not around in 1988 when it first was published. Before there were stupid computers and gossip hounds,this book was the pinnacle of information for this mysterious and reclusive band.All the info that these geeks blab about all day on RUSH post boards has come from the B-Man's book indirectly.Back then , you see , the band kept all info to themselves , for it did not matter if they where married or if they like sports....all that mattered was their music.It was because of the sheer determinaion and passion for the band that Bill set his "visions" to be the first to "get in with the band" and find out what makes them tick.Nowadays,RUSH lets facts out to their fans...I don't know why because the modern day warrior RUSH fan of today thinks they know everything about the band before they do themselves. As I have said before , people like Mark Daniels and the rest of
you big shot reviewers should write YOUR own book on the band instead of lambasting someone who has already set the "the high water mark !" I recommend this book to all RUSH fans.....even 5 year fans ...
