Alex Lifeson Interview Discusses Rush & PT

Planet Rock (UK) interviewed Alex Lifeson recently and you can hear the interview care of Rushisaband website:

Mind you, if he didn't think it was good enough to buy it in the first place, it wouldn't say much for the album.

If you're the real S Wilson (PT guy) you should try to mislead people by giving your albums a one star rating. If you're the real S Wilson, you should also give all the Rush albums 5 stars. And the Klaatu ones , too.
If you're not the real S Wilson, then you should still give the Rush & Klaatu albums five star ratings.

Musicians must be humble. it is an order.

Speaking of contact with Prog stars, I remember waiting outside Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto on the Hold Your Fire tour for two hours before a little beat up red chevette pulled up and Geddy Lee walked out with I presume his son. I shook his hand but he was not very talkative. Alex Lifeson arrived 1/2 hour later in a limo, but drove right into the underground garage. When I saw him get out I shouted "Hey Alex how about an autograph?" He just shook his head and kept walking. Oh well, I guess rock stars need their privacy too.

I'd bet it's the real Wilson.  He's been here a year and only has 24 posts--yep, unlike most people here (including me) he has more important things to do with his time .

It's an honor to have him on the forums, but he's just another poster with another opinion.   Is there a text version of the interview anywhere Tony? I'm on 56k now and don't feel like downloading a 10mb file.

SW, you are awesome, but put some shoes on...feet are gross. I'm a feetophobe.

Haha, yes, Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape is rubbish!  That's just my opinion of course, but don't exepect a reissue of that one ever again (yes I know, why did I release it in the first place?)  These ratings reflect my own happiness or otherwise with the albums, and I'm very happy with the last 3, not crazy about anything before that.  OK I should really rate some other people's albums too, and I will sometime soon.  Every Rush album from 2112 to Signals is a 5 star album for me.  And by the way I like the new Rush album very much, still absorbing it....
