ShlappinDahBass Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 MusicRadar is letting fans ask RUSH questions on May 20 this upcoming Monday. Here is a link to the website...http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/ask-alex-lifeson-and-geddy-lee-your-questions-575159 They will want you to email them or Facebook your questions and they will pluck the best questions for them. On this note, what do you think you'd ask RUSH if you tried this? I asked about Geddy and Alex making a DVD video just like Neil did with Taking Center Stage. I'm intrigued to hear what some people might want to ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Seriously though, I think a great question could be asked from ILs thread about what he misses.. Something like..."Do you guys make an effort to let each member have songs/albums that feature their skills, or does it just happen organically?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray! I meant gray. No slip. goobs was serious I'd ask them that. It'd be more fun that most of the same old same old questions they always get. And I wouldn't be surprised - it's 1976, they're hanging out in a hotel room post-show, had a few beers in them, they're feeling really friendly, there's a little playful touching, one thing leads to another.... i can TOTALLY see it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 My question.... Alex, what do you think of those who claim to be Rush fans, yet fail to recognize the transcendent greatness of Vapor Trails? Alex's answer: "I disagree with the premise of the question. First of all, if Rush has any kind of message, it's about freewill and individual determinism, so I respect people with dissenting points of views and opinions, even if it's against us. That said, it was a very difficult time for us making that album. We spent a lot of time in the studio, a lot more than we ever had previously, and still we couldn't get it right. The album sounds horrible, but outside of that the songs just weren't there. At the time I was into this phase of doing guitar textures instead of regular solos, and that was a big mistake. The songs were depressing, and understandably so given what Neil had gone through, and just nothing came together. Truth be told, we should have just scrapped the album and not released it, but we had a big reunion tour coming up and we had to re-start somewhere. I'm glad there are hardcore dedicated fans out there who enjoy the album, but it was easily our weakest effort and is probably best forgotten about. It was an important step for us in terms of getting back into recording and touring, but if we had that album to do over again, if I'm being honest, we probably wouldn't do it all."
