robertkincaid96 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I never knew that there were so many Former Members. Name: JOHN RUTSEY Band position: Drums and backing vocals Started in the band: Spring 1968 (Founding Member) Left band: July 1974 Personal Profile: John founded the band with Alex. He played drums until 1974. When Rush was starting to get famous, his ideas of the future of the band were different from Geddy and Alex's ideas. He had diabetes, which was a problem if they went on extended tours. He also just wasn't excited about playing in the band anymore. He quit the band. He tried to get another band going but he wasn't successful. He quit drums altogether and became a body builder. Sometimes Alex still sees John at a local Toronto gym. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: JEFF JONES Band position: Lead vocals and bass Started in the band: August 1968 Left band: September 1968 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: LINDY YOUNG Band position: Keyboards, rhythm guitars, and backing vocals Started in the band: January 1969 Left band: July 1969 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: JOE PERNA Band position: Lead vocals and bass Started in the band: May 1969 Left band: July 1969 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: MITCH BOSSI Band position: Rhythm guitars and backing vocals Started in the band: February 1971 Left band: May 1971 ------------------------------------------------------------- Check this link out for some rather old photos. http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphi.../2740/rmem.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Lerxst Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Too bad there are no recent photos of those other guys that were part of the band long time ago ... I wonder if they do attend to the gigs after leaving the band ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different strings Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hadrian is my REAL first name how cool is that even though I go by my second name. It is such a thrill so find out that your name was in fact part of a band that contained ALEX LIFESON and GEDDY LEE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madra sneachta Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 QUOTE (Chimique @ Dec 14 2005, 02:39 AM) Is Lindy Young a guy or a girl? Lindy is a guy. I suspect those photos are already posted on the forum somewhere. In the absense of a life, I'll go on a little treasure hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the band would have been called Hadrian at this point. I think they should have kept Perna, because he knows how to accessorise even better than Geddy!
