Transcript: "Three Is Never A Crowd" - The Music Paper, December 1991

To celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the release of Roll The Bones, I've transcribed "Three Is Never A Crowd", a feature interview with Geddy Lee from the December 1991 issue of Canada's The Music Paper. Geddy talks about writing music that makes them happy first and foremost, using keyboards in a more sparse fashion, strength as a trio, and simplifying song arrangements, as in the case of "Bravado":
"'Bravado' was a tune where almost everything you did felt good about it. And then you're left with the problem where you could very easily overdo a song like that because everything sounds good on it. And for us, I think pulling things out of that song was the key, simplifying the arrangement."
