Happy Birthday to a great hard rock album, which just happens to contain some of Rush's best riffs. Ever.

 

Rutsey Working Man drumming > Peart Working man drumming.

Don't know

 

Alex seemed to be the band leader and all he said that "John was starting to lose interest" so they auditioned other drummers.

 

whether that was him and Alex falling out I really don't know

Johns diabetes is ultimately why he had to leave.

Well, a combination of both of those things is why he had to leave.

Absolutely, but his health was the deciding factor. He wasn't taking the best care of himself and they didn't think he could handle the touring.

:yes:

 

As much as I loved the ATWAS version as a teen, ultimately it's a better song when the drums are played straight.

Sorry for the late response, but happy b-day! This is a very underrated album, it's 40 minutes of top-notch, balls-to-the wall rock and roll. Working Man, Before and After, Here Again, What You're Doing, Finding My Way, even Take A Friend, they're all great.

Fantastic album, by NO MEANS their worst.

 

it's a quality slice of cock rock, with the standout track being Here Again, a bluesy, moody masterpiece with an outstandingly emotive solo, and some of Geddys finest vocal work.
