Alex Lifeson

The guitarist says Jimmy Page’s “hypnotic beast” didn’t just shape his playing — it directly sparked a standout cut from Rush’s ‘2112’ album

Six years after Neil Peart’s death, Lee gave Lifeson a blunt choice — and set Rush’s next chapter in motion

The legendary prog rock band will play their first shows in over a decade later this year

The guitarist said his weekly jams with bassist Geddy Lee helped him “fall in love with the idea of playing again”

The announcement came at a Sunday night private event, much to the surprise of everyone in attendance

Written while Peart was dealing with cancer, the song became Lifeson’s moving tribute to the Rush icon

The prog legend wants to be surprised by what leftfield gear choices can bring to a song

The band’s first taste of playing a major gig soon turned to a moment that left Lifeson reconsidering his future
