Very good news.
Alex Lifeson was once considered the best guitar player in the world. But I don’t know what sort of standards they use to decide that, or who “they” are.
Mind blowing story....
November, 1977, went to see Rush at the MidHudson Civic center in Poughkeepsie, NY- a 5000 seat arena during the “Farewell to Kings” tour...i was a freshman in HS...
On the trip up the guys in the car are talking about the warm-up band...one guy said, “I heard its some mellow band from Australia”...
The band takes the stage- AC/DC with Bon Scott complete with Bon Scott running through the audience with Angus Young on his shoulders during the encore...
Everybody was like “HOLY SHEET!! WHAT WAS THAT??!!!”
It was as though someone took an iron skillet and banged you on the back of the head...Rush was really good but everybody was exhausted after AC/DC!!!
Can’t wait to see them again!
Saw them once. That was enough.
Their new (female) drummer was also Jeff Beck’s last tour drummer.
Time Stand Still.
Now I get a headache thinking about it.
The two guys getting back on stage is totally cool.
I caught their last tour through, and it was so nice how they got back to more of their roots.
There is a lot of it on youtube.
If they are smart they stay away from political issues.
They were libs back when libs could still be cool.
Most people don't know there was a great comedic film called "I Love You, Man" (2009) about a guy sent out by his fiance to find friends to fill out his half of the upcoming wedding ceremony. Paul Rudd finds Jerry Segal and bond through their mutual love for the music of Rush.
Here's a clip where they totally dork out in the band's Green Room.
Where did the time go ? Way back in ‘75 I was in high school .
A classmate approached my buddy and I, he was holding a copy of Rush’s album Fly By Night in his hand, raving about them.
He told us we had to hear this Canadian group.
The guy had a card that allowed him to check out audio visual equipment, in this case , a record player.
We spent our lunch listening to the album in an empty classroom that was conveniently unlocked . Luckily the speakers on the phonograph were weak or we may have been caught , trying to blast it.
