So I go to the last Rush concert of the North American Tour.. (pics!)

[jazzbo jim]

And guess who I meet there?.....

That's me beside Alex-notice the shirt? My son is beside Geddy (a JP fan!) I tried to talk Al into ditching PRS and getting on the EBMM train (If he calls you BP, I expect a cut!)

Frikkin' awesome! Those guys are such a huge reason why I play guitar and bass today. As far as PRS goes, I've heard that Alex isn't touring with any. Now you just need to sneak a Silo 20th into his rotation. Thanks for sharing!

Thats awesome Jim, those guys are a huge reason I got into music as well, sebastian bach once said in canada they have hockey and RUSH!

 

[dmullen]

Kick ass! Thanks for the post.

 

[Ponch]

[AnthonyD]

Cool!

Been a fan since 1980, and I saw them in 2004 on their 30th anniversary tour....as amazing as ever!

 

[unclerico]

Nice, That would pretty cool if he got his own Signature Line

 

[JasonT]

Definitely a great pic! RUSH is my favorite band. They still put on a great live show.

Alex is playing mostly Gibs*ns on this tour; I think he may have only used 1 PRS when I saw them in Camden, NJ.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Saw them a couple weeks ago in St. Paul. Great show.

2112 was the first album I ever bought. If it weren't for that recording, I might not be playing today - love these guys!




"Attention all planets of the Solar Federation,........."

 

[Bungo]

Fantastic!

I've got tickets to three of their forthcoming UK shows in October.

Can't wait!!!!




PS I think Alex is looking a little slimmer than he was in 2004?

Lifeson interview regarding tour guitars

According to this interview, he says he's not bringing any PRS. He does mention getting a sig guitar from that other brand though. That and a lot of mention of adding piezos to his guitars. I think he'd love the EBMM line.

Rush are awesome.

On the Rush in Rio dvd you see Alex playing an ASS during his warm up, so he sure does know about EBMM!

 

[Butch Snyder]

Very nice pic. Alex and Geddy look great. Now, how about a review....

I knew I would get a kick for that. Sorry man, you guys looked just the same as I would have been if I were there....

RUSH was flat out awesome when I saw them in July. It was my 10th RUSH show and was as good as any of them. The new material sounded great live - they did 9 songs from Snakes and Arrows. Plus they pulled out several old gems that I had never seen before like Entre Nous, Circumstances and Passage to Bangkok. If they do a second leg in LA, I will probably go again!

BTW, as awesome as it would be to see Alex playing a EBMM guitar, I personally think it would be even more cool to see Geddy playing a Stingray or a Bongo. Geddy is such a monster bassist and always gets some killer tones no matter what he is using. I could just see him playing a HH Stingray, that would be really cool.

They played Entre Nous?? A very cool deeper cut that doesn't get played anymore, but a great track!

Wish I would have seen it...they haven't played that one live in over 20 years.

Awesome Anthony- that's freakin' cool.

Btw thanks for selling me your floors for the TO show ... had a blast!
