LIVE IT ALL AGAIN
Alex Lifeson’s career plays like a
history of rock guitar, both in terms of
equipment and playing. He’s played
through some of the most distinctive
gear, and produced some of the most
memorable riffs and solos. In spite of
his fame, he’s achieved such dimension
you can’t point to one tone he’s
identified with, yet his playing and
composition is memorable all the same.
All of those changing sounds and styles
haven’t hurt Rush in terms of influence,
chart success, or concert attendance.
While long-time Rush fans were
disappointed that the band decided
to cut back on large-scale touring
following its 40th anniversary concerts
in 2015, they agreed the boys from
Toronto have more than earned their
rest. That said, this fan hopes it’s not
the last we hear of Rush, and of Alex
Lifeson’s amazing contributions to the
music world. Until then, all we can do is
wish them well.
