RUSH is the only band with Geddy Lee's unique voice and frenzied bass playing, Alex Lifeson's scorching guitar work, and Neil Peart's thunderous drumming. Few can argue the fact that RUSH is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Over the course of their decades-spanning career, the Canadian power trio has emerged as one of hard rock's most re...
In the mid-1960s, the founding members of RUSH were in their teens learning to play the new rock music of the time. In late spring/early summer of 1968, a band named The Projection was formed by guitarist Alex Lifeson (born Alexander Zivojinovich) and drummer John Rutsey. Later that summer, bassist Jeff Jones joined the band, and the name of the ba...
RUSH continued to play bars in Ontario for the next few years, attracting a regular following. By 1973, the band decided to make a concerted attempt at securing a record deal. A cover of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" along with a RUSH original, "You Can't Fight It", was released as the band's first single. The voice quality on the single was not as...
Much to the shock of Lee and Lifeson, Rutsey decided to leave the group right after the release of the album in July 1974. He cited poor health and artistic differences with the band as his reasons for leaving. With every intention of carrying on with their tour plans, Lee and Lifeson began auditioning drummers. Neil Peart, a 21-year-old drummer fr...
For many years, radio stations ignored RUSH's music, and, in the pre-video age, touring was the only means of gaining exposure. The almost non-stop touring through 1975 had seemed unproductive to the band, management and record label, but the repeated exposure across the continent began to start paying dividends by early 1976. Now that the band's n...
By the early 1980's, RUSH had become fascinated by the new punk and Caribbean-derived trends in rock, such as new wave, ska, reggae and electro-pop. Their early 1980's albums, Permanent Waves (1980) and Moving Pictures (1981) featured shorter songs, an intermittent blend of reggae rhythms, and a departure from their fantasy-oriented lyric style in ...
After a creative hiatus, RUSH emerged with a new album, Presto(1989), and a fresh attitude. "Show Don't Tell" charted the new direction, expressing a healthy skepticism toward authority and containing slight elements of funk-rock throughout. The melancholy "The Pass" deals with the contentious subject of teen suicide, while the rocker "Superconduct...
RUSH's first and only period of extended inactivity came in the last few years of the 1990's, when Peart's daughter and wife passed away tragically in 1997 and 1998, respectively. The group's future was very much in doubt, with Peart even telling his bandmates to consider him retired after his daughter's death. Slowly but surely, however, Peart mov...
In 2004, RUSH celebrated their 30th anniversary with a summer tour and a new release. The group played about 40 dates in the U.S. and Canada on the R30 Tour before heading to Europe for their first shows there since 1992's Roll The Bones Tour. In Europe, RUSH performed in Italy and the Czech Republic for the first time in their career. RUSH also re...
