  1. Beauty is subjective, ability isn’t. Lifeson at his best, in my opinion, was far more imaginative than EVH could ever be. Technique wise it’s a no brainer. There’s a level above Lifeson in terms of technique that he could never reach and there’s a few electric guitarists that inhabit that space; EVH, Vai, Satriani, Guthrie Govan for starters. However, ALL these pale in comparison to the likes of Segovia and other legendary classical guitarists.

    The Worst of Rush

    Face Up is appallingly bad. Hand over Fist is shit and Virtuality is a cringefest.
  3. A church investigation found that over 4,000 priests in the United States alone had been accused of abusing more than 10,000 children

    Rush sighting

    You’ve eyes like a shithouse rat! ATWAS…
  5. Lights Out - UFO. The 2024 remastered edition. This actually sounds like an upgrade to a very fine album. Not usually very impressed by remasters and of course there’s been remastered versions of this album previously. Very highly recommended.
  6. Alex Lifeson played with Treeduck? Never.
  7. So cold the night that darkens every waking hour… RIP Tony
  8. My memory is bad. I saw them on the bill of the first ever Monsters Of Rock festival headlined by Rainbow.
  9. I saw them live in Manchester, I think they were headlining a triple bill, and they were very proficient but not really my thing. I listened to Harder…Faster the other day and it was much better than I remembered. RIP.
  10. One of my all time favourite bands. Saw them supporting Rush back in the day, hugely enjoyable set if a tad short. There was a program on each seat with a plastic sampler disc that I still own. Got all their albums on CD and had them all on vinyl. Mutiny Up My Sleeve and A Million Vacations are my favourites followed closely by Universal Juveniles.
  11. Marco Minneman would be the perfect ‘neutral’ choice. Has the technical chops to pull it off without the baggage of a big name band.
  12. Questions for Geddy on The Guardian website https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/nov/16/rush-geddy-lee-reader-interview
  13. Are we going to hear new music from you and Alex? CygnusX5 Certainly, there will be new music from Alex and new music from me. Will there be new music from us together? I think it’s likely.
  14. “MORRIS CAMPS. STARACHOWICE: AUSCHWITZ FIDSSEN BURG LANDSBERG BUCHEN WALD. LEIPZIG MAUTHAUSEN This wAs dead March, For months. until LIBERATED. MAY 5. 1945,” Excerpt From My Effin' Life Geddy Lee This material may be protected by copyright. Geddy’s father’s list of camps he was incarcerated in. Dead march means death march.
  15. Great read authored by a great guy.
