From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rush is a Canadian rock band formed in August 1968 in the Willowdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario. The band is composed of bassist, keyboardist, and lead vocalist Geddy Lee; guitarist and backing vocalist Alex Lifeson; and drummer, percussionist, and lyricist Neil Peart. The band and its membership went through several reconfigurations between 1968 and 1974, achieving its current lineup when Peart replaced original drummer John Rutsey in July 1974, two weeks before the group's first United States tour.
Rush is known for its musicianship, complex compositions, and eclectic lyrical motifs drawing heavily on science fiction, fantasy, history, and philosophy. The band's musical style has changed several times over the years, from a blues-inspired hard rock beginning, later moving into progressive rock, and including a period marked by heavy use of synthesizers. In the early 1990s, Rush returned to a guitar-driven hard rock sound, which has continued to the present. The band's latest studio album, Clockwork Angels (2012) won the Album Of The Year Award from Progressive Music Awards.[1] The supporting tour ran from September 2012 to August 2013.
According to the RIAA Rush ranks 80th with sales of 25 million units in the U.S.[2] Although total worldwide album sales are not calculated by any single entity, several industry sources estimated Rush's total worldwide album sales at over 40 million units as of 2004. The group has been awarded 24 gold, 14 platinum, and 3 multi-platinum albums.[3]
Rush has received seven Grammy award nominations, but have not won the award.[4] The band has won several Juno Awards, was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994, and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.[5][6] Over their careers, the members of Rush have been acknowledged as some of the most proficient players on their respective instruments, with each band member winning numerous awards in magazine readers' polls. Rush plans to stop large-scale touring at the end of 2015, although they have not ruled out the possibility of future studio albums and smaller-scale tours.

Chronicles (Rush album)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chronicles is a double compilation album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1990 (see 1990 in music). The collection was assembled without the participation of the band. A companion edition of Rush music videos from 1981-1987, titled Chronicles: The Video Collection, was also released on VHS and laserdisc. This edition was re-released on a single DVD in 2001. This was the band's first album to be released in the 1990s.

Ping
Because I'm a big Rush fan, and I'm very upset over the fact that I can't find a single Rush fan who can remember having seen The Lost Alex Lifeson Poster that I came across a couple of times, over 30 years ago.
It's a mystery within a riddle wrapped in an enigma.
After this R40 tour, it seems as if Rush has now entered their "retirement" phase, wherein they might not ever tour again.
If that ends up being true, I sincerely hope that they will still continue to write and release new material. I just can't envision them as being finished yet in that aspect.
But the apparent disappearance of that poster I mentioned, and the fact that I haven't been able to find a single image of it on the internet, is driving me absolutely crazy, because it is, IMHO, the best photo of Alex ever.
Once again: The Lost Alex Lifeson Poster
Any Rush fan who has seen this poster would certainly remember it. I'm beginning to despair of ever meeting somebody who has even seen this poster, let alone possesses it.
I'm hoping that Santa will bring me the R40 DVD box set for Christmas.
I wonder if the doubleneck you are talking about is in this other poster?
What other poster?
here’s a postcard with the doublenecks
post 5
Another interesting thing about the poster I'm searching for (if you've read my rant on that page) is the fact that it's a posed photo, not a performance shot.
It's basically a poster of Alex standing and grinning, holding his brand new (cherry) double-neck guitar, with hair going almost down to his waist (the longest you've ever seen it, I guarantee). I'm quite sure that the photo would have been taken very soon after he purchased the guitar.
Step 1 for me will be finding another Rush fan who actually remembers having seen this poster, and step 2 will be actually finding an image of it. Step 3 is to actually get a copy of it.
At this point, I'm actually beginning to lean towards the notion that the absence of this poster represents a conspiracy promulgated by Alex Lifeson himself. It's as if Alex doesn't like the poster or something and wants it to be erased from history.
If you ever see this image, you will completely understand why its disappearance has been driving me crazy for the last 20 years. It's simply to cool for words to describe.
Yes, I'm an unapologetic Rush fanboy...
I've actually spent hours scouring Google images in a futile attempt to locate this piece of memorabilia.
I've even corresponded with Fin Costello, who was an official Rush photographer during that time period, in an effort to gain any useful information.
I've come up empty in all my efforts, and it's quite infuriating at this point.
I guess I'm going to have to try to get word to Alex himself as to what the fate of this awesome and enigmatic poster might have been.
One thing for sure is that, at this point, this poster clearly represents the rarest or rarities, and is the veritable Holy Grail of vintage Rush memorabilia...

Hair is not long enough on this one....

Hair isn't long enough, and, once again, it's a crystal clear, unadulterated posed photo, not in any way suggestive of a performance.
Just Alex standing with a silly grin, dressed in robe-like apparel, holding his new toy. Somewhat reminiscent of the garb seen in the iconic group photo seen on the back of the 2112 LP.
It's exactly twice the size of a vinyl record album sleeve. It folded in half, with one crease, to fit into the album. I seem to remember it being in a Caress of Steel album, and I know that's when Rush was at their most hippie-like stage, as far as growing out their hair.
It's driving me absolutely mad, I tell you...
A friend (a drummer - guess who was his idol) & I attended the ‘Moving Pictures’ concert in Mpls. We ended up having 3rd row seats - right in front of the stage.
Simply awesome...
Why is that shocking? (sorry - color me ignorant)
I saw a really good documentary about the band on Netflix a few months ago “Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage.”
Jann Wenner, founder and publisher of Rolling Stone magazine loathed Rush with a passion and wanted his magazine to have nothing to do with them. It was truly a "hell freezes over" moment for the band to finally grace the cover.
...which really didn't explain all the hate - but I had an "inkling" ('We are the priests of the Temple...'), which was confirmed by this comment:
Around the release of 2112 RUSH was labeled as Ayn Rand right wingers by established "critics" and leftists like D. Wild. A. Rand did have a profound effect on Alex, Geddy and Neil in paticular. They were three young, idealistic, ambitious, highly creative individuals open to new ideas and finding their own path without compromising their values or integrigty.
The perception of RUSH as right wingers foisted upon them (40 years ago!) will never be forgiven or forgotten by any leftie, regardless of talent and unmatched musicianship and more importantly, all three are quite liberal, while Neil does refer to himself as a "bleeding heart libratarian".
Rock used to be about rebelling against the establishment, breaking traditions, etc...while lefties like Wenner, Wild and HUNDREDS of other self described left leaning critics over the last 40 years have trashed evreything about RUSH, they are now the old guard, the so called establishment. I believe this is the main reason why RUSH has never been accepted by the "mainstream" critics.
Now everything is clear...
