Alex lifeson and Primus (Big al)

[GreenhouseEffectGE]

wait,...whut r they doin' with Glen Beck ?

[bluesruley2k]

u know me, u know I'm NOT a big Claypool fan. Alex & Primus..um..NO MATCH FOUND! This guy's used to playing w/Geddy Lee on a regular basis for the last 35 years or so! Him being in the same room w/a band who has a joke, Claypool, for a bass player is almost an insult to his intelligence & musicianship!..But he plays along well & patronizes the band with the charm & personality that's helped make Rush who they are. Good job Alex! No offense to Les but he's NOT a bass player! He's an fx player!

[CatFro4]

@bluesruley2k xD xD u should do stand up,,,, cuz that was f-ing hilarious!!

[aakkoin]

I bought this Animals DVD when it came out.... 5 years ago? Anyway, I was a great Primus fan, and watched this over and over, and I did not know who this man was.

Seasons changed, time passed by. Days became months, months became years, and I really got into Rush and stuff. Then, a couple months ago I blowed the dust of my good ol' Primus DVD, watched this segment again I was like

"THE FUCK, is that Alex Lifeson?? The whole time, on my Primus DVD, the interviewer was Alex Lifeson in disguise."

[faithless1969]

too f-ing funny!!

[Dahstin]

I heard somewhere that Primus opened for Rush, and that Geddy and Less jammed on stage...

[CSXer]

Big Al Letterman!!! LOL!!!!

[LOSTPRATT63]

alex looks like what would happen if elton john and buddy hollie had a baby.

[sociopathix]

The fact that primus, rush and south park (my 3 favorite things) are all friends, makes me happier then a homosexual on hotdog day.

[nodrush]

Rush stodgy? Who else have dryers and chicken rotisseries on stage? They may be a little odd, but not stodgy.

[dotstudio22]

@nodrush geddy lee uses the washing machines to power his amps or something like that.

[psykorokkari]

@dotstudio22 no, the washing machines are just for the show. it's a joke: they "make" that dry sound

[primemover17]

Your tough fucking luck! Love it.

[Kkrouton]

Alex kind of looks like Elton John with those teeth and those glasses. And the hair.

[drazpetro]

hahahaha

are those his real teeth?

jebi ga! Alex is the man!

[Kkrouton]

I think it's strange that a lot of people think of Rush as stodgy and impersonal. They are actually hilarious.

[SamuelLJacksonsFish]

I was watching some Rush documentary that came out recently and they talked about that. It's just Neil who's like that. It's not that he's a dick, it's just that he's uncomfortable with people idolizing him.

[gokartjoe]

GUITAR GOD Lifeson !!!!

[larrylalonde]

god, i've seen this clip countless times and never noticed it was him....that's fuckin sweet!!

[rufio2001]

I watched this a long time ago, and just now realize it's Alex Lifeson.

Kinda makes me wanna jerk off, actualy.

[hairyhairy2x4]

[frimpit]

I will beat him up if I see him on the street, lol.

[mitgas82]

i never realized that was alex, that fucking kicks ass...

[illitero]

Haha, WOW. I watched that video years ago and never realized that was alex. Gawd, I'm a douchebag, hahaha.

[sprimusp]

same here, i've had it since it came out 10 yrs ago

[ePhilosopher]

big al,

(d) emoticon buzzen

see you right 4/19

see you later 4/20

We Disengage

[ColmIncendinall]

Alex is pretending to be elton john, with the little gap in the teeth, and calls himself big al after big gay al from south park. Rush watch south park they even had a south park clip made for their snakes and arrows tour, the intro to tom sawyer

[kevbelz]

Big Al has been his nickname long before South Park was on TV

[ColmIncendinall]

Haha i wrote that comment 11 months ago i was drunk i didnt know what i was on about :D

[74jailbreaker]

In fact the Rush members know the creators of South Park (Trey mostly) and thats where they got it from, it was suppose to be a funny ass joke. Because back in the day when Alex was still young and had his long hair some guy mistaked him as being gay and actually tried to hit on Alex!! LMAO!!

[amber2you]

Ugh. He hates America. Damn it!! I'm American, and I'd rather be Canadian!! LMAO, he's hilarious XD

[Mowac]

Alex kind of looks like Elton John wouldn't you say?...........

[amber2you]

DOOODE, yeah, he does! XD

[LastRowKid]

oh shit, thats hilarious

and, i think thats the point

[Mowac]

Alex must have borrowed those teeth from Jerry Lewis..haha. Alex loves Primus.

[unclvic]

Crazy Alex he's tooo funny!!!! I've always read about him being the more animated one of the three and now to see him being just goofy and funny and real down to earth too. Too cool. Now wonder he's my favorite guitarist (ok, tied with Steve Howe).

[muttville1]

big al with da f-bomb!!lol....i love that guy,a man who likes his spirits + i hear he has a pretty good band 2.
