The Lickable, erm...Likeable Alex Lifeson

For a number of reasons, I wasn't in Rush mode during VT and Feedback and even up to the release of S&A.


So now I'm watching the Vapor Trails YouTube video interview with Andrew DeCurtis that I missed the first time around...

And I'm finding myself in tears. So many things going thru my head. I am...awed at how freakin' GOOD Alex and Geddy look, how fantastic they look together, and just how amazing they are, as people, as they're talking about dealing with Neil's grief and the angst they went through in making VT.


The video doesn't translate it really, but watching the two of them interact w/ each other, reminds me of when I met them during the Meet N Greet on the TFE tour. One of the things that stood out to me was watching Alex and Ged interact w/ each other. It was...unbelievable experiencing the chemistry btwn them in person. It was palpable; you could literally physically see it. It was like a bubble that kept them connected them.

At one point, Alex was standing next to me and Geddy was talking to another fan across the table. Alex was trying to get Ged's attention to ask him to sign the banner for me (it was my friend's banner). In the quietest, most gentle voice, Alex simply says, "Ged?" I'm standing right next to the boy and I'm thinkin' there is NO way Geddy heard him. He's got this fan yakkin' in his ear, he can't have heard him. I barely heard him.

But sure enough, Ged turns to him. And freakin ell you could feel the chemistry btwn them just from that tiny simple exchange. I think my mouth actually fell open. Swear to ged, I am convinced that all Alex really needed to do was think it, and Geddy would have turned his head. To this day I am still floored by the bond between them.


So as I watch these videos (and thank you CeeJ, that Orbit Room vid was hysterical), I am amazed at how much more I can love these guys!!!

Man, that is really awesome. I wish I could relate to that but I dun really have any old friends, people in the NW are flaky I guess laugh.gif , But I really do admire a 41 year old relationship. I mean to see each other grow from boys to men, girlfriends, band phases, kids, weddings, successes, wrinkles, grey hair/no hair, I have always admired their bond and I think it is very beautiful. wub.gif

Tonight when I was walking around downtown, I could have sworn I saw Alex on his motorcycle drive past me. I was wearing a Rush sweater I got from the concert and he gave me a lil grin as he drove past. Unless it was someone else, I may have just seen Alex. ohmy.gif

 

I dunno did the boys leave for the UK yet? confused13.gif

Hmmm, it's hard to say.

 

Their first show in Europe is in two days (I guess it would be tomorrow, by now...). I would assume they'd have slated time for rehearsal, and - I would hope - rest from travelling over.

 

It's not like I'm privy to those details, but I would imagine with those things, etc. to consider that they'd be there by now.

 

Having said that, I'm all for the 'what the heck! Pretend it was!' school of reality. icon_really_happy_guy.gif

 

 

 

I'm reminded of my friend and I wtg for the box office to open for the Shoreline, CA show, back in August. We saw Neil ride in to the venue on motorcycle. Not a MINUTE later (no joke) the box office opened to begin selling tix that hadn't gotten sold, yet.

 

So we spent the whole evening telling our friends how 'us and Neil, yeah, we're like THAT. As soon as he saw us sitting on the grass wtg for tickets, he told them to open up the box office for us. Oh yeah. We know Neil.' rofl3.gif rofl3.gif
