First concert was Texxas Jam in 1984. Rush, 38 Special & Ozzy. Been a Rush fan ever since.

You do a great Alex Lifeson on one of Rush's greatest songs.

Thanks.

This is one of my least favs, but the guys insist on playing it and it came out pretty well here.

I like them but my bass playing buddy is all in on Rush.
My opinion of them did go up when someone here on SF posted their anti-socialist song:

Another short one for the real die
hards.

^^^ That's it! Nice!

No, sorry I tried to like them but the lead singers voice just grated on my nerves. And I saw them twice back in the 70s with other bands. Musically they were great.

Exactly. Great song composition but I couldn't get past Geddy Lee's vocals. Got the 2112 DVD-A knowing this and tried but ended up selling it.

I had the same feelings when I was younger, but I have come to love his unique voice. 2112 was the album that solidified my love for Rush.


This is a good documentary. There is probably a better version out there somewhere.

Your guitar tone is vastly superior to that of the guitar player of Rush! I'd come to your gigs if I lived in your area!

Thanks. In the first one, Big Money, I'm using my GK 250ML, which is exactly what Alex used for that whole album. Bought that amp in 1988 and it's got some miles on it. I also have most of my guitars wired for coil splitting, so I can get the single coil sound when the song calls for it, which Big Money does. Otherwise I use old Marshall tube amps and may have used my Friedman Dirty Shirley combo in one of those. My fav these days is my Marshall 4010, which is a rare bird, but it just slays all others for small to mid-size venues.

Been a Rush fan since the mid 70s. Y'all do a damned fine job.
