Rush is like regular ordinary people, because they are, for real, all the time, no poser posturing, never trying to be something they're not. They just happen to be excellent musicians (and people) who ROCK THE FUCK OUT LIKE NO OTHERS CAN, and hold no regrets, remorse or apologies for doing so. That's unmeasurably cool AF in my book!
Caress of steel was my second LP of Rush on tape after 2112 It Loved it and still do. It was not a mistake, it was unique. The Band are Unique. Such beautiful complexity time shifts in the music, the friendship that exists and how each fit a perfect trio. My Favourite band since I heard them age 13, I am now 55. Signals is my fave album as it resonated with me age 14 and in school.
Loved Caress of Steel when it came out but I was hooked on this band after I heard songs from the first album.Every album was different and unique and as a music lover, this band was what I was looking for in music.
Shreads of black clouds move in overcast skies the Necromancer keels watch with magic prism eyes he views all his lands and is already aware of three helpless invaders trapped in his lair! Poetry at its best! RIP PROFESSOR
I have a hard time warming up to Strombo. But the guys like him and they are obviously comfortable and give a great, insightful interview. Yet, I feel that they touch on the surface: they could be interesting for weeks. Ruuuuuuuuush!
The "fame is easier than financial success" line is such a true statement. Nearly every band I like went through a period where they were getting recognition from fans and peers, but were still not able to pay the bills. LOL about Sha Na Na. My wife and I were just reminiscing about how there was a weird 50's greaser nostalgia period in the early to mid-70's that coincided with prog rock, glam and then disco. The 70's was certainly an "eclectic" decade! I miss it.
Yayyyyyy Kitty Ho returns! 🐱🐱🐱❤️❤️❤️ a really good interview! I like George’s style! Check out his interviews with Robert Plant and U2 as well very interesting and intelligent questions!
Geddy makes a point that I think about often. You look back on their career and it seems like a lot happened in a short period of time but when you're in that moment it seems longer. I look back on the last RUSH concert I saw (June 19, 2015) which is over seven years ago. That time elapse seems like a snap of a finger to me because the concert seems so recent, but when I take that same amount of time and apply it from 1974-1981, this band did SO MUCH during that same window of time back then that it's mind-boggling to imagine what they achieved in so little time. Or what at least appears to be so little time. Just some random babble.
I would give my left arm to hear the Fabulous Men tapes. As for the title of the song they mention, I’ll hazard a guess it’s something like “Get Off the Fucking Phone, Terry.”
Actually I saw SHA-NA-NA too when I was kid Bowser was hilarious and my favorite of that group and yes that makes no sense in any world of having RUSH open up for SHA-NA-NA
I find it very interesting that they consider themselves a metal band or other people do I think the definition of metal or heavy metal has changed over the years. Zeppelin was heavy metal. I don’t recall anyone considering rush heavy metal or metal. But maybe that’s what they were considered in the 70s. By the time I discovered them in the 80s they were considered hard rock.
In the 70s Rush were definitely metal adjacent, and you'd often hear in the 80s that "they used to be (more of) a metal band." Caress of Steel was often described as a metal album, and the song 2112. Remember that Sabbath did a lot of stuff that wasn't metal and the line between hard rock and metal was blurry. Priest weren't full on metal at first but became so, Mororhead were kinda metal but mainly hard rock, ditto AC/DC. Maiden were initially sort of punk/hard rock/metal and didn't become huge as a metal band until the 80s. But all the above you'd routinely hear labeled as metal. Image was a big part of whether you were classified metal, and on closer inspection, or rather any inspection, Rush didn't fit the label.
Btw the label metal didn't really catch on and become a household word until the 80s. It was applied retroactively to a lot of stuff. Iommi will say he never thought of what he was doing as metal.
This is a great interview. Watched it when it first came out and was amazed at how relaxed it was because they all have known each other for a long time. Edit***. I’ve seen Sha Na Na in concert when I was a kid. Not proud to say it but my parents took me to see them. I had no choice. Lol.
in 1974.....That was METAL !!!!...SABBATH,ALICE COOPER, RUSH, DEEP PURPLE, JUDAS PRIEST, TED NUGENT, KISS AND MAYBE LED ZEPPELIN....1974....THAT'S ALL THE METAL, RIGHT THERE !!!!...THERE WASN'T ANYTHING REALLY HEAVIER !!
This is great! I'm an old Rush fan . I've followed them from almost the beginning. One thing they kept saying that struck me as odd is they kept saying Rush was a metal band. Metal ? I never thought of Rush as Metal. Rock, Hard Rock, Progressive Rock, but Metal ? No , Sabbath was Metal, Priest was Metal, Maiden was Metal, but Rush? Naaa not Rush . Rush didn't do the chuga, chuga doom, and gloom. Or the galloping horse type thing. They didn't stay in one time signature very long,and the music was high energy, and up beat. Just my two cents I guess. Anyway this is great to see Alex , and Geddy sitting down for an interview again. It kinda gave me hope for some future project possibly!

Neil's appearance on George's show in studio was awesome, obviously, I was blessed to be in the audience for the taping of it.
that;s why the peoples love them, humble guys down to earth, and great musicians ,
Probably my favourite interview. George Stroumboulopoulos is one of the greatest music interviewers I have ever seen. Classic!!!
Caress of steel is my favorite Rush album at the moment! So much on this record! I am listening to it over and over again!
This is a great interview. I'm glad it made it to your channel. Thanks Justin (& Bob).
Strombo is a great interviewer, and he knows the band and their recordings well.
Your cat is adorable.

In 1975 Caress Of Steel was a metal record, actually it's the first ever progressive metal record.
The Necromancer is proof
positive that it is…
@@leddygee1896 The Necromancer is a masterpiece.

I saw this interview not too long ago. Definitely one of the best Rush interviews they’ve done.
It's a great interview. Gets very moving and open, later.
This is a great interview! I watched when it was 1st came out. Looking forward to hearing it again! Be well and God bless… from Texas!!
George Stromo is an excellent interviewer. Very good interview

Very well done interview. Glad you checked it out.

Love it! Much respect.
Strombo did a great one on one interview with Neil Peart too.
So what to thank you for sharing a video that back in the day was ?? About this band.
Geddy makes a point that I think about often. You look back on their career and it seems like a lot happened in a short period of time but when you're in that moment it seems longer.

Or what at least appears to be so little time. Just some random babble.
It's weird to hear them describe Vital Signs as just some fun. It's a powerful song, really grows on you, and musically it's fucking brilliant.
I believe this was Geddy’s first interview since Neil’s death.
Been requesting this for a bit. It's a really great interview. Thanks Bob.
I would give my left arm to hear the Fabulous Men tapes. As for the title of the song they mention, I’ll hazard a guess it’s something like “Get Off the Fucking Phone, Terry.”
Never knew about the mob. Awsome knowledge and excectution.
Sounds like a coven recorded. Just was my thought when I've ever heard it.
This is such a great interview! Love these guys!
Actually I saw SHA-NA-NA too when I was kid Bowser was hilarious and my favorite of that group and yes that makes no sense in any world of having RUSH open up for SHA-NA-NA

yeah I don't see it either. They're a rock band. Prog rock. Hard rock at best. imo from what i've heard so far.

@@bdc1117 I did not know that very interesting.
There are great Neil interviews done by George before you can check out as well.
This is a great interview. Watched it when it first came out and was amazed at how relaxed it was because they all have known each other for a long time.
Edit***. I’ve seen Sha Na Na in concert when I was a kid. Not proud to say it but my parents took me to see them. I had no choice. Lol.
My parents took me to Sha Na Na too! I was young, don't remember much of it. I look at it this way, I saw a band who played at the original Woodstock!
Justin didn't you say that part of song reminds u of a Joanie Mitchell song during one of ur reactions. Crazy
i did
Check out "Dinner with Rush" video sometime.
in 1974.....That was METAL !!!!...SABBATH,ALICE COOPER, RUSH, DEEP PURPLE, JUDAS PRIEST, TED NUGENT, KISS AND MAYBE LED ZEPPELIN....1974....THAT'S ALL THE METAL, RIGHT THERE !!!!...THERE WASN'T ANYTHING REALLY HEAVIER !!

Might have to flip Justin some of that mighty Canadian mula and get him to read some fricken Shakespeare ......... bwaaaaaahaaaaaaa!!!
