Transcript: "Rush Confronts The Big Money" - Circus, January 31, 1986

My latest transcript, "Rush Confronts The Big Money" is a review of Power Windows from the January 31, 1986 issue of Circus magazine. The review is generally positive, except for the writer's thoughts on Manhattan Project.

Transcript: "A Rush Of Old Age" - Kerrang!, September 23, 1982

My latest transcript is a tad humorous... "A Rush Of Old Age" is a review of Signals from the September 23, 1982 issue of the UK's Kerrang!, which says Rush are 'middle aged'. I just thought that was funny as at the time, the band members were 30 years old...and they are still endlessly rocking it 32 years later. This reviewer, Dave Dickson, is the Kerrang reviewer who admitted that the album Power Windows went "over his head", although he does make some obvious spot on points regarding how Signals would affect Rush's fanbase...

Transcript: "A Total Access Pass To Rush" - NBC Network's The Source, June 8, 1984

30 years ago today, the Grace Under Pressure tour kicked off in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Visions author Bill "B-man" Banasiewicz was along for the ride, and interviewed Geddy, Alex and Neil numerous times on tape over the next few days to discuss Grace Under Pressure, flying(!), and more.  The interviews later aired on NBC's Young Adult Radio Network broadcast as "A Total Access Pass To Rush" the following June.  The radio broadcast was later transcribed and appeared in an issue of the fanzine The Spirit of Rush; I've cleaned up the transcript a little and hope you enjoy it.

Transcript: "Alex Lifeson Interview" - Guitarist, August 2007

Snakes & Arrows was released 7 years ago today!  To celebrate I've transcribed an interview with Alex Lifeson from the August 2007 issue of the UK's Guitarist magazine.  Alex discusses the writing process of S&A, his guitars and amp setup, and also the use of the bouzouki on Workin' Them Angels: "I was visiting a friend in Mykonos last summer and he has a really beautiful place on the edge of a cliff. I'm an early riser, so I'd get up, make a cup of coffee and go and sit on the wall overlooking the Aegean. So I'd be just sitting there playing this bouzouki, feeling my way around it..." - Thanks to RushFanForever for the original article.
