We've Managed To Have A Long Career

I Think That's Given Inspiration To Other Musicians. I Know, Particularly Through The 90s, A Lot Of Bands Would Cite Rush As An Influence. I Don't Think It Was So Much Our Music, But More The Way We Really Stuck To Our Guns.

I Was Very Pleased When Prs Presented Me With My Se Angelus Acoustic, A Beautiful Guitar Of Stunning Quality. It Was In Response To The Challenge Of Building A Guitar That Shared The Integrity And Attention To Detail That The Alex Lifeson Private Stock Angelus Possesses In A Package More Broadly Accessible. The Se Alex Lifeson Thinline Is That Model. Carefully Selected Materials, Expert Craftsmanship And A Smart Approach To Concept Resulted In A Guitar That Is Beautiful To Look At And Rewarding To Play.

I'm Not That Fluid When It Comes To Scales And Modes. I Just Pick Up The Guitar And Play. It's All About Exploration: Just Tune The Guitar Any Way You Want And Start Playing.

We've Managed To Have A Long Career That Is Still Quite Vibrant, Yet We've Never Had To Kow-tow To Record Companies Who Said We Weren't Commercial Enough.

Pete Townsend For Me Was A Huge Influence. Because Essentially They Were A Three-piece Band And The Way He Structured His Chords And Took Up A Lot Of Space Musically In The Songs Was Really Important To The Way Rush Developed. Geddy And Neil Both Were Such Active Players And Lot Of The Time We Were All Playing Like Crazy And It Was Too Much And Somebody Had To Reel It In And Me Being The Faceless Guy, I Would Do That.
