Happy birthday, Lerxst, one of the greatest, albeit most underrated guitarists in rock! May it be a great day for you and all who celebrate it with you.

I chose "Chemistry" both because it is an amazing song (one of my favorites from the album) and because of Alex's guitar solo.

One quote I forgot to include is in the opening video on the Time Machine Tour, just before "The Spirit of Radio." Alex plays Slobovich, who is eating sausage at Gershon's restaurant. After Gershon says, "Meantime, I'll grab your sausage," Slobovich responds: "The last time someone grabbed my sausage...I had to get remarried."

*Laughs* Oh, Lerxst. We love you.

  • underrated - oops

  • I love this tribute !!!! Alex happens to be my favorite guitar of all time & yes he is soooooo ubderrated. Love the song. Chemistry 2 boot - nice job

  • @Gabe7King8ofrnr10 mine too I think but moving pictures and power windows rate at the top !!

  • @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. :)

  • holy crap my brother has the same birthday as ALEX LIFESON!!!!!!!!!

  • 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

  • started when my friend had 2112. I later bought permant waves. Young teen at the time. Hooked ever since.

  • all to be revealed, lilter dawn moon , the measure of the 2 litre-hosen bottle

  • I am honored to share the same birthday with you Alex!!! Cheers!!!!!
