    Vivian is a very kind and genuine man. He took 30 minutes of his time after a Riverdogs concert to hang out with me, and treated me like a brother. I hear that Dio was a very kind soul, as well. It saddens me that money and ego have such destructive impact on the bands and music we grew up with. Maybe one day we'll figure out how to avoid the pitfalls of pride and greed, and remember why we all love the music. 🤘😎

    17:34 I dont know a single rush fan that wants "Rush 2", I am in the same boat that without the 3, there will never be "Rush." Personally, I would love to hear just a few songs with Alex and Geddy recorded, not to be a continuation of Rush, but to hear to two guys playing music again. Alex is my favorite guitarist and just having some new tracks to listen to is something I would love to see.

    I think if Ged and Alex were healthy enough and wanted to, the one way forward would be to find a drummer they want to work with, write a couple of hours of new music, and perform primarily new songs, with just one or two Peart era tunes that vary show-to-show. I don't see them as a nostalgia act, so something like that is ballsy and unexpected. They were a big-label act prior to Peart, and there's no reason (other than age) that another post-Peart chapter can't happen, but it would work best with new music.

    I always felt a little bad for Alex because, while he's obviously a very talented guitarist, he's never been called the "world's greatest" unlike Geddy and Neil. This was a good interview. I don't feel bad for him anymore. He's humble enough to "settle for" being part of one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

      @@dr.manhattan6278 No, I think you are hiding behind a fake name (a doctorate from NY no less) and are effectively bad mouthing the musicianship of two thirds of one, if not the best, power trios in progressive rock history. To my mind, that qualifies as trolling, especially on a video interviewing Alex Lifeson. Why are you here then? To display courage? Let me be clear, I respect that you might see A. Lifeson and G. Lee a couple of lesser talents that The Professor brought along for the ride to fame and glory. And Peart might well have he been the "best musician". But that doesn't make your comment vis-a-vis Lee & Lifeson true or unassailable. The typical axes to grind with RUSH are Geddy's vocals, to some extent, the weird inaccessible lyrics of Peart and the fact that some consider prog. rock (some call RUSH Heavy Metal) just a form of very loud noise.

All their 70's albums were great except for Caress of Steel. 2112 was the landmark album that put them on the map.
