cygnify Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Cool; knew of the song, but never saw the video for it. Not quite the same thing, but reminds me of another Alex appearance (with a better solo!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoflife Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Lifesons ear for melody puts him in a league of his own. Not too stale and not too flashy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignaciagirl Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I think the sign of a good musician is knowing when to hold back...and yes, Alex's ear for melody makes him superior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwillchooseFreeWill Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 As if I weren't already in the throes of a Deep Purple revival. I remember having Shades of Deep Purple in my dorm room in 1968. I even got the date right! Come to think of if, the rest of my dorm hall must have hated my taste in music.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much less a full summer! From the book 'Guitar World Presents Dear Guitar Hero: The World's Most Celebrated Guitarists Answer Their Fans' Most Burning Questions' Dear Guitar Hero - Alex Lifeson of RUSH Q: As a Canadian, could you publicly apologize to America for letting Bryan Adams come here? Bryan Adams might not be what I want to put on, but he's a pop singer with a great voice and great guitar tone. Plus, he's done more for Canada than RUSH have, because he works all the time. I envy him for that. And now he's become a very successful photographer. Edited April 21, 2017 by RushFanForever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the same thing, but reminds me of another Alex appearance (with a better solo!) http://youtu.be/luazBVOYa9c Here's the accompanying article that I submitted awhile back, which can be viewed here. Ed Bickert has retired apparently according to this article here but Liona and Rik are still performing. As far as Alex goes, to know whether he's still performing or not, all the fans come on here or read the news at the Rushisaband, Cygnus X-1, and Power Windows websites.
