The Guys in RUSH are such a class act..No egos, No Drugs, no songwriting credit issues etc...Neil Peart's Lyrics always speak volumes and tell stories... RUSH has never been all "Hey I met this chick at the Bar, I took her home and banged her".....None of that crap..This is another reason why they are one of the greatest rock bands ever.

I love how softly Geddy speaks. And how funny Alex is sometimes. Two of my most favorite people in the world.

I knew "Beyond The Lighted Stage" would probably be good, but wow, it was an amazingly well done film. HIGHLY recommend.

One of my favourite lines in a Rush song is from Mission "We each pay a fabulous price, for our visions of paradise."

@@gtpl1789 I listen to that song nearly every day. One of their most underrated. Stark and beautiful, speaking of loss, of fading into obscurity, of growing old. No other rock band sang of such things. It is also an excellent song to play on the drum kit and one of the few Rush songs I can make a passable stab at.

"We will pay the price but we will not count the cost." I teach middle school and made a huge poster of that lyric which I hung prominently in the front of my classroom. It was frequently referred to as the class guiding mission statement.

On the day that my first grandson was born I cried because Neil announced his retirement. I have loved and respected the musical creation of these three men since they began. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

Excellent interview !!!

I wasn't a fan until around 1980 but yet, I found myself reminiscent about the early days of Rush after watching the movie. Strange how I felt I knew them before I knew them. Extremely thankful that they made "Beyond The Lighted Stage" so we can all share that feeling.

I wish we could get this show in the States. You Canucks are too lucky!

I miss Rush more every day.

Rush opened for Kiss more than any other band who opened for Kiss. These guys are the best people and musicians.

It's delightful to see and hear and experience Truth that Matters. Well Done Rush! Enjoy your Legacy!

Rush is AMAZING!!!!! GREAT guys making magic

Great interview, very thoughtful questions....from a fan.

Great band but better humans. Always loved them. Pearts book is a great read.

So much class!

My favorite Rush lyric? "All this machinery Making modern music Can still be open-hearted Not so coldly charted It’s really just a question Of your honesty. One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity."

I think Neil put it best during his acceptance speech at the Hall of Fame induction, when he quoted Dylan. I believe that all the guys in Rush influenced me in one way or another. And I don't believe my life would have turned out the way it did without their influence. Cheers Guys!

After becoming a fan of their music and lyrics I learned about their commitment to playing music honestly, to only putting things on the record that they could actually play. That resonated in my brain. Had a distaste for fakery before that but a desire to live honestly, to not try to appear something I am not, was awakened. Have always tried to be open about who I am and what I can do. That ethos has served me very well both professionally and personally. In eliminating artifice, one must become truly excellent at what they do or face having to admit they are not. Cheers.

Honestly, I have a very hard time choosing. I adore A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres and their harder prog rock sound. I love Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure with their heavy synth use and lighter and faster solos. Roll the Bones and Counterparts bring back a rockier tone with newer technology and I love that as well. Vapor Trails, Snakes and Arrows, and Clockwork Angels bring a return-to-form for Geddy and Alex in a heavier tone, while Neil moved on to having a more pronounced "feel" on the kit vs his straight and to-the-point accuracy on earlier records. To many different pros to every era for me to say which one is my favorite.

GamerNation57 your post was 2 years ago so if your Rush fan I assume you’ve watched by now. If not, you MUST watch it as it one of the better rock documentary ever, IMO.

It is impossible to compare bands from different eras. However, Judas Priest is my fave, I just know it in my guts. Beatles are like the Leonardo da Vinci of rock: they started so many different things, but they also happened to be in the right place at the right time. That goes pretty much for Hendrix too. However, the respect that Rush shows to music and their fans is amazing. They are a total class act, and, for me, 2112, kings and hemi surpass Beatles’ revolver and Abbey Road. But that is not a fact, it is simply my personal experience of their music.

Tide water tales I think the books called

Kiss had great songs too

That Neil wrote (we will pay the price but we will not count the cost)?? Geddy Neil borrowed that line from an author! tut's!...He mentions it in his tour book notes!!....

"No rewards for resistance, No assistance, no applause.." -Lock and Key "All pre-ordained, A prisoner in chains, A victim of venomous fate, Kicked in the face You can pray for a place In heaven's unearthly estate" --Freewill

Rush Hour

John Gunther is Geddy's Doppleganger...(well that's if you know John Gunther).

Neil's best lyrics were Red Sector A, imo.

Trent Reznor.

Kimonos or mustache- That is a tough choice.
