high, brutus' friend

[EzrinJem2]

That's not an interviewer...that's Jabba the Hutt!!

[transcendrage1]

This guy...makes Alex Lifesons " liver... seem like an anointed virgin bathed in milk thistle.

[AzurePalmsSensation]

alex is great. love his part of the interview. i would have favorited the vid but simply can't do so because of the interviewer.

[ePhilosopher9]

half the world, eh

[jemmani22]

and people say americans are fat....

[Xar0mir]

@jemmani22

Germany is the country that was most influenced by america in the last couple of decades , they are fat stupid and ugly.

America and germany have quite a lot in common.

[prankcallz444]

@Xar0mir yet look at the opportunities we have over here. dont talk shit about a world power country that has the most freedom then any other country.

[Xar0mir]

@prankcallz444 Americans traded freedom for minor comforts quite a time ago,

your country isn't god you know - but you people sure know how to fool yourself into it. It made me feel a bit better about myself though, i though my comment was sort of stupid till i've read yours. Thanks mate. :)

[prankcallz444]

@Xar0mir it was stupid believe me, because your reply makes absolutly no sence. good try though.

[xPurpleDrinkx9001]

@Xar0mir The only way to gain enemies is to become a leader. We are leaders, we have enemies. Noone cares what you think. At this age, shitty economy or not, America may not be God but what we say and what we do matters. That shows something.

[freewill51]

@Xar0mir We are God and who told you otherwise? When tragedy hits your country and we bring relief and food and medicine, then you will see. We have helped in more countries over the last 100 years than any other country in the world. Our troops fight and die to protect your shit! Where were you during the good old days of Mr. Hitler? You where with him or dead! Who saved your ass? My Grand Parents. America.

[lifeson46]

@freewill51 yeah well sort out the shit in iraq then and shut your big bloody mouth

[jazzmanEE]

the pregnant interviewer needs to lose some belly fat.

Alex you are emperor of the eletric guitar..god bless.

[MrSteveEllis]

ALEX IS KING!

[TriggerHappyMariachi]

alex you rock my world!

[GreyGleamII]

Alex, i think you might be the sweetest man on the planet.

[CusterFlux]

Excuse me rock stars aren't supposed to be this sane, he should at least have a bad tattoo somewhere

[sideshowlol]

We're not like a bunch of priests! lol

[CusterFlux]

"We are the priests, of the temple "

inconsistency! Flip-Floppers!

[skleung]

hahah hand resting on his belly...lol sometimes i wish i could do that...

[melodicrockrules5150]

Alex kicks ass and well the fat slob interviewing him must eat 100 brauts a day along with a case of fine fucking German beer. Nice post...

[jimdandygo]

Now I'm hungry damn it A couple brauts and an ice cold Heiniken sound great. Off to the store. lol

[flangerman5150]

wow what a disgusting fat fuck not alex he is just pudgy the other guy is gross i hope he is dead now

[pman1018]

Listen closely to Alex. He's got the most Canadian of accents, eh?!

[CusterFlux]

What are you talking aboot?

[pman1018]

What am I talking about?! I'm just saying, listen closely to how he talks. Alex lets you know when he's talking that he's Canadian.

[CusterFlux]

Accent?!?! - just what the hell are you talking aboot - I don't hear any accent at all

[pman1018]

Dude, get a frickin' hearing aid! You might not think Alex has an accent, but the truth is it's called a "slight" accent. What I mean by a "Slight Accent" is that there's a little bit just not a lot.

[CusterFlux]

... well, let me adjust my took ... ok, I'm ready to listen for a third time eh!

hmmmmmm nope, there's not accent there eh, none at all!

[pman1018]

LOL! You make me laugh! But then again, so does Alex. To me, he's the Red Green of Rush. He once said he wanted to make airplanes out of beef!

[connorbassplayer]

its a small accent.

[CusterFlux]

I'm always wondering about this, I'm a Canadian too - Alex and I are from the same town, so I'm always interested how we sound to others around the world. I know the occasional New Yorker can pick up that I'm from Canada

[stuka52]

@CusterFlux

I'm from NE Ohio, and believe it or not we sound the same as Canadians (Ontario), except we say about (out) and you say aboot, and any other ou sound other than that, we sound the same.

[blindhunt3r]

suuuuuweeeeeeeeee wilkomen 2 farm yard interviews

[dood901]

HOLY COW!! meatloaf's gay cousin is interviewing GOD!

[Dzonrid]

LOL!!!!!

[MultiJam10]

@dood901

Cmon bro. I understand what you mean but some people may get pissed with calling him god. I doubt Alex wants to be called that. There are more apropriate ways of saying he is the greatest rock guitarist alive. But we have to be careful with stuff like that because their are too many religious fanatics out there who want to kill people for saying things like that. I don't mean to sound like an asshole but I don't want anybody to get backlash problems over something that harmless.

[PolysaturatedFat]

That was a really cool, laid back interview.

[Tama12pc]

Funny how "You-tube tough guys" get people fired-up. Whoever said Americans are "bigoted pigs", is correct. Everybody is so worried about "the fat German";and what he's wearing, etc. This is obviously an interview right after the show, matter of fact, he says so. Would YOU wear something differant? Lets keep our eye on the ball here- RUSH rules, and thats the point. Keep the high-school B.S in high-school.PLUS- Germany teaches English automatically. What other lngng does USA teach automatically?

[jimdandygo]

Don't generalize all Americans. Cool interview. So what if the guy's chubby. He seems really nice. Nothing wrong with having a few brauts? German food is great.

[Tata996]

Wow, Alex looks thin next to this guy.

[metaldario]

Junger Vadder hat der Albrecht eine Wampe...

[hwrisftw]

there gay hahahahahhaahhahaahhahahahahah­ahahaahahahahahaahaHhHhHhHhHhH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­aahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahaha

[ruslanrocksss]

Your an idiot.hahahahahhaahhahaahhahah­ahahah ahahaahahahahahaahaHhHhHhHhHhH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah aahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha

[hork55]

Ok, the cocksucker known as hwrisftw is calling one of the greatest guitarist ever gay. First off, how fucking clever off you. Second is, you are the mo here, you probably have an extra kindness for your uncle. Fuck off twirp. Lifeson rules!

[MrDeppness]

"Even three hours isn't long enough." Yeah Alex!! He's right too. Great attitude. It's about playing. That's the whole point!!

[JustADoof]

allow speaking of the show, will we A to B? remind me of your staten=ment from behind the waterfall the new ALbum all the songs unplayed. nontheless, the house tha rush built is tops, like unfulfilled, what a grant holy sothebys!

[JustADoof]

alex, as such as when jon anderson dies yes we all will, would you allow geddy to sit in? when rutsey died, wow, effort. and when you die who would, endlessly rocking, god forbid, and such sub-rereferences

[BearTrap2]

Many comments here dwell on body mass, choice of clothes and superficial generalitions and attacks on nationality. And Rush fans are supposed to be intelligent... I know, some of you are joking, but clearly some are not.

[Cash2112]

You're correct, Americans are bigoted pigs. You must be a sophisticated citizen of the world who operates on a higher plane of existence. Sprechen sie Deutsch?

[Cash2112]

Who's the bloated kraut? And how did he score this interview? His belly looks like its about to explode all over Alex. . .

[finalnexus]

this is a really good interview.... I like the geeky cyber german guy instead of some phoney magazine reporter....!!

[JealousPhantom]

I'm sorry, but if I ever had the chance to meet, let alone interview, the greatest guitarist that ever lived, I would have dressed more appropriately. If the guy has to wear a tee shirt, can't he at least put a Rush one on? Show a little respect to the legend that you're sitting next to.

[joeglimmix]

if the fat guy plays guitar it would rest on his belly like a slide guitar

[burningxdimx]

God that German is HUGE

[T1m3Trav3l3r]

Sprockets!

sieg heil

[bearmare]

oh, you funny, funny germans. did you know that the first for letters of germans spells germs? and i hear that all germans are asexual -- look at this guy and you know that is true.

[pm3470]

the interviewer i'll bet sure lkikes his bratwursts!

[njmusicman69]

I think that guy swallered neil and his whole drum set

[21129181]

I was always nervous about Neil not making it on his bike,too!!

[askmeicare]

I hope Alex has recieved Jesus as his Lord & Savior.

[Deadfreeeak]

Shut the fuck up .......righteous cunt.

[superhomsar2112]

hey man, whats your problem? theres no need for language like that. in fact i would agree with that guy you so rudely responded to. serious or not. just because we care about someone in such a way doesnt meen we think we're perfect or better than anyone. such isn't the case. take it easy.

[Deadfreeeak]

Your mom has a dick.

[superhomsar2112]

right. just what did that acomplish?

[Deadfreeeak]

Dude shut up ......Im banging your mom.

[rlmcentee]

Alex is such a badass. A complete musician and it seems like he's a genuinely nice guy. It's a rare thing to see a rock star that can be a *real* role model. Seeing a guy like this, excel in his field the way he has, should be an inspiration to those of us that aren't in the public stage. Like their music or not...you've got to respect them as musicians, and people. Bravo.

[eddievanlerxst2112]

now is the time on sprockets where we dance!

[sladejam]

All I can Say When I Was 16 And Heard The 1st Rush Album I Knew These Guys Were My Band 2008 Still The Biggest Fan and Alex Is So Quiet And Easy Goin And Polite

[Jonasbassinitup]

that man is Large lol

RUSH RULES!!!!!!1

[RustySacks]

Great upload.

[bewitchedblonde]

alex isn`t german

hes canadian he lives in toronto

[ePhilosopher]

zallin lunibachensphiel victory until the frozen ice cap is for wtf moons ageaux tigers

[satan9inside]

That guy makes Alex look skinny :P

[siti1ca]

i spent most of the time lookin at that guy's stomach

[beefheart67]

man that is so right on they do play 3 to 3 1/2 hrs and they really give you your money's worth i don't think he seems exhausted at all. and for the naysayers wait till you turn 50 and can keep up the rock n roll lifestyle. i think the new gen is going to burn out a lot faster than the baby boom gen. we just have more morals and values and spirituality than this new gen

[bullet19465]

He's probably just trying to make sure he's clear and precise in his responses.

Many Germans are multilingual, English being one of the most common.

[steve51704000]

I can only imagine these interviews are tiresome and a bit boring for such a musical genius. Each time I see Alex and Geddy doing interviews, they seem to wish they were somewhere else, nonetheless they are quite gracious and kind.

[Dreamline45056]

This interviewer seems a bit nervous. I would be, too! But, Alex seems like such a nice guy!

[LouDawg808]

he seems exhausted.

[pman1018]

Usually, he isn't. He may look exhausted, but it doesn't sound like it.
