EagleMoon Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Didn't Geddy's tech hand him the wrong tuned bass at one show during the R40 tour? I forgot which show it was. Probably was the first night in Toronto. There were a lot of missteps that night. Yeah I think it was the bass he used for Headlong Flight.LOL now I'm imagining that intro riff, just slightly out of tune, lmao It was more than slightly. It was tuned an entire key down.Now I went to watch the R40 tour and I'm depressed, I want to see Rush again, really bad ;'( I think most people here feel the same way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babycat Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I can't wrap my head around Alex being an asshole. He and Geddy are probably the last two people I'd think of when it comes to that.Not really an asshole, but he's got a temper, like when he fought that cop in Florida. lol.http://www.rushisaband.com/images/200401/9.f.jpg Yeah!I still love that picture, I don't know who the guy behind him is. but he's a winner. I think it's his son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil1972 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 That guy was an idiot. I agree - I felt embarrassed for Alex, and that guy just made it more awkward. But Al handled it with class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 That guy was an idiot. I can watch this stuff now. You're right. The guy was an idiot. But I'm sure the last thing Alex wanted to do was to be confronted by reporters and video cameras and clicking cameras. Yet he managed to answer in a polite manner. Me, I would have held up my hand and just walked away. You can tell he is used to dealing with the public in a gracious manner when he doesn't feel like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex struggled a bit with the "don't comment" advice from his lawyer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemplesofLamneth Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Well this explains Alex mockingling yet playfully yeling at the cameraman during the second set of R40live.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
