Hi, new here so I'm not exactly sure how this works. I just wanted to say that the large head shot and the large motorcycle shot are GORGEOUS! You may want to wipe the drool off your monitors. Somebody said they belonged on their bedroom walls but, i'm gonna make bed sheets out of them! Thanks so much for sharing! Alex is the reason I picked up the guitar, I'm only just barely playing, but I can now proudly say I can play White Stipes "Seven Nation Army" ( Badly, but it's a start). And I notice a Black Adder fan out there too...Soddoff Baldric, eh? I spent the last two summers vacationing in St Catherines with a friend who knows everything about Neil and got to meet his Drum teacher, got some sticks from him. Anyway it's late, and I'm rambling.

good morning to all the ladies in Big Al's Tiki Bar/ Harem. Okay it's 5 pm, but it's my morning. I'm a night owl and I was sleeping off a hang over...

OK, guys... over on the CP message board there is a thread about how Lifeson's arrest might give him "Street cred" with the younger folks. So then it got to be about how Alex was going to be a gangsta rapper, and I of course had to do some Photoshoppin...

I post this with apologies to both Alex and to Eminem.

Signature Guitars were originally made famous by RUSH guitarist Alex Lifeson. Alex helped get the company going in the early days and was heavily involved in the design and development of Signature instruments. Alex used Signatures (most significantly the Aurora model) almost exclusively for the albums "Hold your fire" and "Show of hands" (2). Alex later switched to PRS guitars in the early 1990 when the company was no more.

A few days ago, I was reading on the eches of old applause website, when I came across the R30 rants page. This stood out:

 

a couple in the first section (102) had a picture of a soldier and the girl kept raising it over her head during the first two or three songs of the show. An usher came over and asked her to put it down, as people were complaining that it was obstructing their view. Shortly after that a member of the Rush crew came over and stated that Alex wanted to display her sign on stage. Before or during "Red Barchetta" one of Alex's guitar techs took the picture and placed it to the left side of his amps (later moved right in front of his amps), which said anthonyquayle.com across the front. The touching moment came when Alex and the lady made eye contact, Alex saluted her and smiled, which of course made her cry. The picture stayed on stage for the rest of the night

 

I went to the website and found out that the young soldier had died of leukemia...

 

That was an incredibly sweet thing for Alex to do....
