Rush
I just recently watched their Live in Rio DVD. I had never heard a Rush song in my life 'til then Boy have I missed out!!! I can't get enough of Neil Pearts drumming. Alex's gat sounds are a bit cheesy most of the time, but you can't deny how good their musicianship is. Such a huge sound for a 3pc. Why, for a band so huge elsewhere, are they under the radar here in NZ?
Anyway I want some of you.. ahem.. older members to name some albums I should be checkin out. I just placed a bid on Moving Pictures on TM, which is ace 'cos Tom Sawyer is one rockin track!

Just picked out some Rush hits this weekend. I have liked it so far, but nothing has jumped out at me just yet. I have lots of new stuff to listen to right now.
Another one of those guitar mag heroes that you never hear about otherwise.
Apparently Alex Lifeson learned to play guitar while he was locked up for being some flavour of fruitcake...

Moving Pictures I count as a must listen to album....Limelight's solo I count as one of the top 5 alltime best rock solos....I use to know it note for note,but after 4 months of not playing it I need to sit down and refresh myself to it again.
Along time ago I had a great friend ,his name was Gregg and he was a Neil Peart fanatic,the guy could play almost every Rush song to a tee not to mention he was a awesome drummer overall.God I miss him,wish I could find him again and get back in contact.
Funny,being in a metal band with him...people would say..."he's your drummer?"...wow,he's black"..but after they heard him play they would all go wow.."he kicks ass!"
Last I heard he moved to San Diego and got into hiphop....jezz...really wish I could track him down and get his friendship back into my life
