I'm a "every day home guitar player", I'm 38 years old, before e few months I have never heard something about "Rush". Hard Rock lover, Satriani's big fan ... but never really found my real "playing way", with Rush it has been a "REVELATION", they are so "over the top", and I can say that Alex Lifeson is a Wizard wich had changed my relation with my guitar. Today every chord and every note that I play sound "so different".
I just wanna say " THANKS FOR ALL " mister Lifeson
Im 53, started playing in the 4th grade. In all that time I've learned more from watching Alex than any other. I've learned how to think out side of the box due to him. Clearly one of the most underated guitarist on the dam planet.
Got my drivers license Nov 12 1975. Next evening driving around my hometown in south western Ontario with my 3 best buddies and my 2 favorite( too that point) Rush 8 tracks"RUSH" and Fly by Night. Oh the memories!! They have been with me since then and have provided the sound track of my life!!. They are BIGGER THAN THE BEATLES to me LOL
@dontrushme2112 Too funny. I got my license almost a decade later and drove around listening to the same 2 albums on cassette. Times may change, but Rush music is preserved. :)
I listened to my 1st Rush song in 1979, I was 13 years old and I was hooked. A Farewell To Kings album did it for me.
I am 45 now.....and I have shared so much of my listening time of music with Rush. I wonder if they are aware of the effect they have on some of their fans.
My now 14 year old son has gone to the last 2 Toronto Concerts with me, he is now a huge fan.
Thank You Geddy, Alex and Neil, for being an inspiration.
cheers lerxst..) though you don't realize it, you've made me part of who I am. I grew up with rush, and now I'm 44 and still cannot believe how amazing you and rush are.
