Michael Moore is right about Subdivisions, it saves lives. It changed my life and make me want to pusue my dreams almost 8 years ago, by moving from my hometown. That was the best decision of my life!
Yes, and kudos to you!! Such a brilliant song, an anthem for the "misfits". I was too old to be affected by it when released in '82, but can clearly see the impact it had to help others. RIP Neil Peart. There will never be a rock lyricist or drummer like him again.
Listening to this interview in 2020 is heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time. I know there will never be a new Rush album or tour. However, I am just a confident that there will always be Rush and my children's children will have the opportunity to experience the magic. The Rush discography is a treasure for all people which can never be repaid to it's surviving members. Canada was blessed.
Yeah, I was fortunate to attend their last tour in St Paul and just being able to experience that and they gave to the end. Such a unique and singular band. They will last and endure. It was so heartfelt and grateful.

I feel lucky to have been a teenager when Subdivisions was released. I was a little late becoming a fan of Rush, but I quickly became familiar with their previous albums and officially became a Rush fan for life. Genuinely talented and, dare I say : ), nice human beings who created great lyrical and musical art for all of us to enjoy. Rest in Peace Neil Peart
I'm with ya. Grew up in the time of Rush but never really appreciated them until the last year or so. Too bad because I had chances to see them live but wasn't interested. Its the biggest regret of my life.
@@Reviewster I was lucky enough to have a few fellow band nerd buddies that were into them, so we all piled into my mom's car and drove downtown to see them in concert on the Subdivisions tour. I still have that t-shirt, but I was way skinnier back then! Saw them again in 87 for the Hold Your Fire album tour, actually went to that show by myself. I guess my regret is not seeing them with my older brother who was the one who turned me on to them back in the day. He had graduated college and moved away which is probably why I didn't go with him to the '87 show.
I too being 14 started with power windows, then went back a d started from the beginning.
still honored to have been a fan for more than 4
0 years
I'm not a Michael Moore fan. Quite the opposite. However, i can't complain here. He does a good job and his history as a fan made his excitement genuine and a privilege even he deserves.
Diggin' Your Scene hey man your honesty is so appreciated. Too many obvious right wing Republicans getting unnecessarily angry at someone who is clearly a liberal but left politics at the gate. All interviews like this start off with a monologue. He talked about Rush not Trump. Thanks for your opinion because you don't like MM and you didn't see anything wrong with the content. Everyone seems to think Rush are Republicans because of 2112 being influenced by Ian Rand. Listen to red tide, natural science,roll the Bones,Big Money, yeah there lyrics are so right wing. Their lyrics are human. Neil isn't one to deny climate change. He was talking about it in lyrics in 89'! Obviously I lean left... But hearing how uptight people are just because it's Michael Moore. If Sean Hannity did the interview would it somehow help this politically challged TH-cam audience?
Exactly. Finally some rational thought.
CosmicJazzman 45 : If someone from the right generalized and stereotyped as much as you did in your comment, you'd break out all the Alinsky traps and call them a racist, homophobe, sexist, etc. Be careful, people! The leftist Priests of the Temple of Syrinx know what's best for you, are watching your every move, and will deny your right to think for yourself. They tried to assume control, but they lost and can't get over it.
@@denmac19 If you're going to use Rush lyrics against others, at least try not to sound like a moron.
@@screwyootube1 Try again, Sweety.
Great interview guys. I first saw RUSH at my High School( grade 11) in southern Ontario just before the first album came out. While looking at new albums at Woolworths I saw the first album on the rack and realized by the artwork on the cover that this was the band that I had seen a few weeks earlier. So of course I bought it and have been a huge fan ever since. BTW I still think Caress of Steel is my favorite album :)
Is it possible to get enough of these guys... My answer is no. I love them! I love the music! They are the very definition of professional
And down to earth at the same time!
However it is definitely possible to get enough of the Jabba The Hut interviewing them
The venom toward Michael Moore in the comments is hilarious and sad at the same time. We get it - you don't like him. But your politics don't have to poison everything. The interview is a guy talking to Geddy and Alex for over an hour - shut your traps and enjoy it.
I agree completely. Politics turns everyone into total morons. Michael Moore is far left, and I do not subscribe at all. But this thing has nothing to do with politics but people find a way to poison anything with it when they get a chance to, as you said. It’s so bad. And so pointless.
Michael Moore IS the venom, IS the poison.
HIS hatred is the problem!
"Those who know what's best for us must rise and save us from ourselves"
I thought this was the Brotherhood of Man...
Individual Freedom!
Sovereignty!
This Newfangled Global Socialism is what the Professor was warning us about, at times...
"Throw off those chains of reason
And your prison disappears!"
politics aside, his question are as generic and lazy as a I though he was.
I do appreciate his enthusiasm for the band and in describing his expiriences with the music I do see myself at that time, but his approach to this interview was unprofessional and dumb, and as always trying to adjust his politics to everything
@@mattmarkus4868I’d either add to your statement or make a slight adjustment. Famous people, who lead with their politics in everything, do spoil the well. The rest of us either deal with it, don’t watch them or hold our nose the whole time (like I’m doing with this). I find the more outspoken ones can interfere with whatever “art” they are creating (acting/music/interview) because of the outlandish things they’ve done or said in their personal life. You admit he’s far left, would you watch this if Steve Bannon was the interviewer? Would the comment section look the same?
@@66gtb Of course I would watch it. I would watch it if anyone was giving it because I love the guys in Rush. The comment section would look the same, just toward a different person. Any divisive figure produces that. Also, just a side note, public people often make public political statements not because they believe in them, but because they feel they have to say the right thing. For their careers, their fanbase, etc. I wouldn't always assume their statements are genuine. In today's time, the actual difference between people individually is likely far less than it appears to be- because people keep their actual views private. And social media doesn't reflect that due to the dynamics/pressures/groupthink and scale involved.
Reading the comments. "Michael Moore is this. Michael Moore is that". This isn't about Michael Moore. Regardless of his politics....this is about RUSH!!
Not when they are being interviewed by Michael Moore.
It was a shitty interview. Then again He defines shit.
@@Palace-of-Madness (In My David Spade voice) And you are....???
Exactly ! That's why I didn't have the taste vomit in my throat!
I only made it to the 5 min mark, but it sure seemed to be about Michael Moore. About his going to their concerts etc. Not a single question to allow them to really talk. Too bad, because I would have loved to listen to them and not him.
I believe both Geddy & Alex were holding out for Neil to give in after a while but finding out about the illness spending time with his family won out & rightfully so ! Mr. Peart you were a class act to the very end.
This was done in 2015. Neil wasn't diagnosed with cancer until 2 years later
These guys are so awesome I'm grateful I was born in this time to be able to witness the greatest musicians ever and such cool human beings
Excellent interview that i enjoyed very much.Thank you Alex ,Geddy & Neil for many years of great music & tours that you made & done.Rush fan4life.52+ times live.
The one thing Michael Moore forgot to add from us fans is that we thank them for the tremendous body of work they have left us with. Rush did everything the right way. From building their following through grassroots touring, to pumping out albums every year in their younger days. Do the hard work while you’re young and fit.
From 2112 to Test For Echo, this band turned out an entire album, not including live albums, each year, sometimes two within a year. None of us want to see them retire, but if they decide to, at least they have left us with over 20 studio albums chock full of great songs. Rush never was a group who put out a new album with only 1 or 2 good songs, like many other groups have. Their albums are loaded with awesome songs, if you take the time to listen to them.
They were mostly a band for musicians in the early days. When I was in high school, everyone I knew into Rush were musicians, which I happened to be. Everyone else never heard of them (we’re talking 1974-78). The reason you would see so many people air-drumming is because half the audience were drummers and knew ever lick Peart was about to play.
This is why Rush never changed anything live. Geddy has even joked about people coming up to them, after a show and telling them everywhere they made a mistake or changed a fill.. that’s when he knew everyone has that shit memorized so they better keep it true. I saw a lot of air-drummers (including myself), but also a lot of air-bass and air-guitar (I’m a guitarist, but still air-drum to Peart and have to air bass to some of Geddy’s signature shredding).
All of us musicians will miss the hell out of this band if they stop making music. Geddy says his father would have cracked down on him and made him finish school and pursue another career, had he still been alive. I can’t say I’m glad his father died, but I can’t imagine how much music history would change with no Geddy Lee or no Rush?
Think of all of the drummers, bass players and guitarists they have inspired over the past 40 years? Many other famous drummers might sound completely different without Peart’s influence or never been inspired to take up drums at all. When you see how many great musicians they inspired in the documentary, and think that is just a small sampling of their influence. It shows you how much one death can effect history. I can’t imagine that musical brilliance just running a deli or laundromat. What a waste and a great loss to us musicians.
Thank you Rush for all of the great music you have both wrote and played, but just as importantly; all of the great music you inspired. I have a lot of influence and inspiration because of this band. There is much that they first brought to the table in my music and I owe them that.
First Rush show I saw was Signals tour, then Power Windows. During the Signals show power went out....everything sound wise just vanished. Stage lights still on them and mics were out. Geddy starts doing improv dancing (tap,polka) behind the keyboards. Applause, laughing, and cheering from around 11,000 fans erupted. They were just laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation. 5 minutes later sound came back, continued an excellent show.
Always wished we could hear more from Alex in any interview, his humor is so enjoyable.
Don't forget Alex's " Still no guitar " song.
Hate Michael's politics, but I love the man's talent as a wonderful interviewer and filmmaker. One of the best sit downs with Rush ever recorded quite honestly. Thanks Al and Ged, and Michael and Sirius.
Hemisphere's is my favorite album.
Thanks for the effort! The whole album is inspiring, from the lyrics to the craftsmanship.
the best band ever
I'm not a fan of Michael Moore. But Rush is my all time favorite band and this is actually a great interview. Fan driven of course. They asked the bulk of the questions. :-) Great answers too by Alex and Geddy. I always learn so much from them
Respect! There are very few bands out there who have been performing as long as these guys and who have consistently turned in top-notch performances both in the studio and on the road. If you are to couple this with their amazing musicianship, their refusal to compromise their beliefs, their single-minded pursuit of musical excellence, their genuine love of music as an art form at its highest point, their unwavering engagement with the human spirit, I think we can safely say that their likes has never been seen on this planet and is highly unlikely to ever pass this way again. The world is a better place for their having been in it.
+twilightatireland Well said, they are something awful special. Their music and character and humor have been a very positive force in my life,
Every question was well thought out! I'm impressed with their fans and them. Thanks.
Great interview, many thanks for this.
+Steve Smith It does have it's moments, thanks to the guys, the amazing guys, these humans put the humane in that word, my heart is so much fuller (word) for them putting themselves out there for us. Thank you, to say the least.
Great interview! Big fan (and amatourish singer) from Norway here. So much wisdom. Love Rush
Show us your vocals.
This is incredible. No interviewer can ruin what Rush brings to the table, ever! Stop complaining and just listen.
I loved this, as well as I know the band and their repertoire ... I’m grateful that we have this moment in time., to listen to and relive over and over. Thank you SiriusXM, Michael, Alex and Geddy. In these early days of a world without Neil Peart, I cherish the vibe that is Rush.
Listening to the last 15 minutes, and them talking about the future :( RIP NEIL
Moore I can live without but these immortals are what it is all about.
I like Michael Moore ocassionally, but man, it was practically a Michael Moore monologue for the first 15 minutes or so. I'm glad it eased up after that.
Thanks for posting and editing the tracks - this is 100% interview folks! :-)
First of all, I just listened to this interview almost 2 1/2 years later, and as I have heard the countless interviews (especially here on you tube), it is always great to hear not just fans, but the interviewers themselves talk about how much respect they have for Alex, Geddy, and Neil, talking about Rush like I do to anyone who knows me. Whether we get anything new from Rush, whether they tour or not in the future is a win for me, in fact listening to their music is still and always will be a win because of the optimism they emit through the compositions or the lyrics. When I personally come to crossroads at every turn in my life I always think to myself, what rush song am I experiencing like Mystic Rhythms when I look at the night sky, or even an album cover, for instance, there are some days when a storm is blowing in and it's a Grace Under Pressure sky, or just the other day, it was a Test for Echo sky while I was yes, listening to the song Test for Echo, so whether we get to hear new things or see them live in the future, as many Rush fans would like, I'm good because Rush has that vast array of albums to listen to at anytime for the remainder of my life, when I need to Jam to the hard cords of Cut to the Chase, or pick myself up with Time stand Still. Thanks for the interview Michael, and Sirius XM, which I am always tuned into, and Thanks Geddy and Alex for more insight on what made you guys tick, to give us all an understanding of ourselves.
Love Rush and Michael Moore. Great interview!
What do you love about MM?
@@jeffsimon9594 His courage to tell the truth and stand up to big oil and the corrupt privatized health care industry, mostly avaricious insurance companies. My GF is a General Practitioner from North Carolina who has now moved to Ontario Canada because she didn't want to work in the ultra corrupt privatized system anymore.
Thank you Rush, many years of excellent music, back in junior high, high school, college, marriage, my wife and I saw R40 in Lincoln,NE. Her first ever rock concert. It was my 12th time seeing you all & and the day after my 54th birthday. I wanted her first concert to be the best. It was. Her friend said I was like a kid in candy store. I met Alex Lifeson after a show in Davenport,Iowa, in the late 70's I told him thank you sir, and he said, "I'm not that old". May peace be with you all.Paul Rekward, outstanding in his field somewhere in Iowa.
RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR!
With heart felt admiration and sincerity!

Would love to see a video of the interview, and hear more from Lee and Lifeson than Moore.
Exactly!! Moore perfectly filled the role of "turd in the punch bowl".
Love Rush but fucking loathe Moore. Fat millionaire bastard talking about the evils of capitalism.
@@bitter37 - Well, your name fits. Go make some award winning documentaries and become a fat millionaire yourself, then demonstrate how great you are.
OMGWTFLOL I think my name fits as well, thank you. I can’t stand the ultra rich decrying the evils of being rich. Fuck Moore and his bullshit limousine liberal politics. If he’s so concerned about the evils of capitalism, why doesn’t he give the millions he has to charity. And fuck his award winning bullshit documentaries. Bottom line, I love Rush, even if I don’t agree with their politics.
Learned so much from Alex and Geddy. So glad Mr. Moore asked the right questions and let the audience also ask questions that were relevant. Good Lord, without the questions what were these boys supposed to do, just start randomly talking? This was fantastic in my books.
I love a great host that has the Canadian vibe of excitement and pure of passion for great music, great land, great passion for living the dream of what you simply must do, when you must do what you must do - create - humble great people -
Excellent interview-good questions from both Moore and the audience. As for whether they’re done touring or full-stop, well, all things must pass. These guys have given all of us so much; if they want to quit or that’s what happens, fine. Pet peeve of mine: artists give what they want and can; you take it, say thanks (or no, thanks), and leave ‘em alone. :)
Oh, shit: Moore says pretty much the same thing at the end! I’d commented before I was done with the show! :)
Many thanks for posting this. You rock!
Fly By Night is one of my favorite Rush songs- too bad that isn’t a “live” choice- what a great encore and a song that encapsulates all the great things that are Rush
first Rush record I bought in the late 70s. I was 10. What struck me was the amazing artwork. Back then, the artwork was so important. I just felt a connection to the amazing snowy owl. Been a fan ever since
thank you. sitting here in my room , evening off no plans... just some blue dream and loving this version of a rush interview. i look forward to their next musical project.
:-(
2 true gems of human beings and one lump of coal. Their music speaks for itself, but their genuine concern for their fellow human beings well being is what sets RUSH apart. Humble, polite and funny. Take a look at the list of charities they have helped over the years, they've made a huge contribution to the lives of so many people. Long Live RUSH!!!
...and yes I will admit even though I am not a fan of Michael Moore, this was a really great interview.
Thanks for posting!
Mr. Moore really nailed it at the end there. With recent comments about future possibilities, some people on the internet are, frankly, losing their shit over what THEY think is right or wrong for Geddy and Alex to do together as a writing/performing team. But these guys got where they are, and earned a deeply dedicated fan base, by always following their hearts. That's all they need to do.
30:58 - Not terribly surprised, given Geddy was the one who pushed the keyboard sounds. I'm right there with him, Power Windows was the record that got me interested in Rush. Definitely one of their best albums.
Phantom121904 " Really? To me, PW Mark's the beginning of a very weak run that started to turn around with Presto. That said, I'd rather listen to PW than any shit coming out today.
Power Windows is one of the worst Rush albums. I can't believe they went from the AMAZNG Grace Under Pressure album to that ...
@@denmac19 I really dig all their albums from Moving Pictures through Roll the Bones, particularly Power Windows, Hold Your Fire, and Presto. I know that gets me in trouble with a lot of Rush fans, but hey, that's the awesome thing about Rush. There's something out there for everyone.
RUSH are my favourite rock band period. They formed the soundtrack to my life and I even got into sound engineering because of RUSH. It's a pity Australian rock radio stations have narrow minded playlists, because they pretty much ignored RUSH and never gave them prime time airplay.
As much as I don't particularly like Michael Moore, I think he does a excellent job interviewing Geddy & Alex. He's definitely a fan and is well researched.
Thanks a lot! I was looking for this! :)
I seen rush with john rutzy at Beattie High school on cummer ave in willow dale ont. it was my first day
Mr. Moore needs to drink a big ol' glass of "shut the fuck up".
How much of Rush's humanity, humor and music came from their families' experiences of death and disaster?
Holocaust, Balkan wars and Neil's personal tragedies.
What about Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Shania Twain? Celine? I could go on
Holy crap, Narcissism - When the question takes four times longer to ask than it does to answer.
Many thanks for posting. Its great to hear the guys. Now if someone would edit out that s head Michael Moore it would be great.
They r three men who incredibly become one something we will probably never witness again!
Thanks for posting the Town Hall interview.
Thank you for this channel ✌
This one hurts, hearing all the hope for more Rush, knowing that Neil Peart was taken from the world far too soon. But forty years of excellence is an astonishing gift to us all.
And give Michael Moore a break. He demonstrated here that he's one of us, the fans. Leave the hatchets, axes, and saws to the people who never have understood what it's all about.
Thanks for sharing.
Funny now to hear it described as "soaring vocals"... as a longtime fan who discovered the band when the 2112 album was released, critics weren't quite that kind "back in the day"... terms like "shrieking" and "caterwauling" were more likely the choice... lots of Johnny come lately, bandwagon praise by the critics
I couldn't stand Geddy's voice on the first albums, and thus I wasn't a fan. It wasn't until recently that I became aware of how improved his voice has become.
I love Rush! I respect their decision to retire or whatever. They owe nothing to anyone but themselves after giving us all their heart n soul since “74”. Geddy, you’re awesome! I sing and I’ve been told I look a bit like you and sound a bit like you which I take as a compliment of the highest caliber though it’s totally uncontrived on my part.
Love Rush & Michael Moore!
Finally a Sensible Human Being!!!!!!
Right
What exactly do you love about MM?
31:00 Wow...I learned something new today. Geddy likes the album Power Windows! It's not a fan favourite that's for sure, but I personally love it. People get all hung up about "too synthy, too much pop", but REALLY people need to take another listen. There is some amazing drums, bass parts and guitar work. Take a listen to my fave..."Marathon"...it's got amazing bass lines, superb guitar work, and Neil's lyrical content ("you can do a lot in a lifetime.....if you don't burn out too fast") and drum beats are of course fantastic!
It's hard to pick out a favourite album, but PW is in my top 5. My other four are Grace Under Pressure, Signals, Moving Pictures and 2112.
It's one of my favorites. I've never understood the "too much synthesizer" or other criticisms. I like Rush in general, although Presto and Clockwork Angels left me cold. I really dig Caress Of Steel, which many dislike.
The lyrics to Middletown Dreams, Emotion Detector and Mystic Rhythms are great, and the music is too!
Great interview, tragic Neil never got to have any family time that he deserved 💖🥺
I could listen to Alex & Geddy all night....but I cannot listen to Michael Moore for thirty seconds, bummer.
2112 is the antithesis of everything Micheal Moore stands for. Same with Anthem.
Really? He's a self-made man, creating award-winning art (documentaries) on his own terms and making lots of money through capitalism. I see a lot of similarities.
Ladies and gentleman Michael Moore talks about Rush...and occasionally lets them talk
It seemed like a Standard interview to me.
I would love to hear an interview with Ged and Alex on Howard Stern. Hate Stern all you want (like Michael Moore), but Howard asks the questions everyone else is afraid to ask. It would be the most revealing hour in Rush history, I can assure you that.
Howard Stern would never interview anyone from Rush. Why? He has a thing against them and any time Jon Hein (a huge Rush fan) brings them up, Howard craps all over them. I don't get it. I couldn't be further from MM's political bent, but who cares? These are folks loving on the most influential band (to me, growing up), so who cares. These guys are total class and I'm sad to say I'll never get to see them all perform together live. Peace
@@BK-sb6ro RUSH is a tough nut to crack by an interviewer like HSOD and Neil Peart would certainly never talk to him because Neil would run circles around Howards attempt at humor.
Howard likes to hear himself talk too much. It would never work.
Howard hates Rush
At about the 24:00 mark, Alex mentions a song that was designed as a "studio song" because it's too complex to play live. I listened several times but, due to background noise, I missed it. Does anyone know which song he said?
+HighPower762 He mentions Fly By Night at 23:35 and Losing It at 23:49
56:56 - it's like they know something is wrong. I love how Geddy walked over broken glass without cutting himself. That must be the hardest thing for him to keep saying. And then Alex throws in a joke. Typical Rush. If Neil was there, I bet he would've done the same thing. It's too bad they couldn't have done a spoken word tour. Or like a history lesson. Kinda like how they did The Beastie Boys documentary.
23:00 - I think they got sidetracked by the question, asking if there are any songs they've never played live that people ask for. Rush has done a good job of playing all the "deep cuts" that fans have been clamoring for, so there really aren't any left that most fans are wishing for. They answered with two songs they actually have played live - Farewell to Kings and Fly by Night.
+Robert Smith I'd love to hear Emotion Detector live... still waiting
+Robert Smith I won't die happy until they play "Hand Over Fist" dammit!
theredraven
----- Back to back with "You Bet Your Life"!!
They've never played "I think I'm going bald" that I know of but I may be mistaken.
Tai Shan!
I love Rush and I love Michael Moore. The negative comments here are from Idiotic conservatives that have to come to grips with the fact that Rush are actually liberals. Geddy has commented on how he likes Michael. The Ayn Rand was just a phase that Neil was going through. They are the very opposite of greedy conservatives and also proud atheists! Great guy's!
WRONG
“Bleeding heart Libertarian” is how I’ve seen Neil referring to himself in interviews of recent years. He gives money to homeless people and so forth, something Ayn Rand would never condone. I think all the tragedy he went through really made him a lot more empathetic to humanity in general, and less focused on just the intellectualism of Libertarianism, as he might have been in his younger days. I think that’s all reflected in the evolution of his lyrics too.
Moore wish he had a fan base like Rush.
@@Palace-of-Madness No, it's not wrong. I've been a fan of the band for over 25 years, read every interview I could get my hands on, and read all of Neil's books. The comment that this guy wrote is correct.
Eleven minutes into this interview and all I hear is Michael Moore talking. Hope it gets better.
I'll continue listening...
Will always be the best band in the Galaxy !!
"...it's not that he likes Rush, it's that he likes them a bit too much!"
The word Geddy Lee is looking for at 29:10 is "gatekeeper" or "tastemaker"
I wish Geddy Lee was an older version of Loki in one of those Avengers movies.
Wow! The first time I listened to Michael Moore and didn't have the taste of vomit in my mouth
..I always wanted to catch the "74" Rush & Kiss. When Kiss gave Rush the opertunity to Gain mass National publicity with the obvious exception of the debut album, and the release of Working Man. Gene Simmons went on to later admit that "They We're so good that they were just to good to have them around ,and still feel comfortable enough to think that we might just regret that decision!!
Moore seemed to miss some of the points in Rush songs...lol
I like how they play part of "The Fountain of Lamneth" during the intro.
How long do I have to listen to Michael Moore before I can hear either of them talk?
+Gregg Campbell Over 7 minutes...finally.
Huh?
How much attention span do you have?
Great interview what are you talking about?
10 minutes in and Moore has done more talking than Geddy and Alex. I want to hear more of the interview, but I can't get past Michael Moore making it about himself.
+Orgy Guy Moore is a douche... why did he have to do this interview...
+thebatman101069 This is the best Rush interview ever with many good questions asked.
John Anderson Moore is a blowhard, he talked more then they did. I've seen and heard better interviews. The best interview was by Billy Corrigan when Clockwork Angels came out... There's better interviews with Q Tv here on youtube...
Rush - SiriusXM Town Hall Interview with Michael Moore
My first show was about 1974 in the the mt prospect ice arena with Kansas and another band . They played fremd high school with kiss when they first came out.
Small venue then they moved up to the Aragon ballroom Chicago then the big arenas . Long career hard work but no breaks or sell outs. Some mis steps perhaps but never bowed at the altar of big $
I'm 14:15 into this and I'm already irritated at Moore's constant insinuations at how miserable and vile and non-charitable and not nice we Americans are. It would be nice if he could simply pay a compliment without having to shit-can someone else.
+stevedrums That's complete bullshit. He never said anything against America, he only was complimenting Canadian culture. Quit lying.
Derp
Ridiculous
If Lifeson gone into Comedy. This Interview would still be happening, just without Lee.
Rush giving Michael Moore an interview? Hell no. They seem to like Steven Cobert, too. Hell no. Oh well, at least they're good at playing their instruments.
Well, they aren't iddjuttts, so they wouldn't be Rush Limpballs or Donald Trump fans. D E R P
You’re a moron
They're really bright guys. And it seems like you don't agree with their politics. Are you gonna stop listening to their songs?
I listened to this despite the human waste conducting the interview.
Rush - SiriusXM Town Hall Interview with Michael Moore Rush Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson at Opening of #FreshStart RevivalWorldTours asThe #StarsDance ForChange ..GlobalRestoration... LiveCreate..UrNow InTheStory TheGame..
Unfortunately, at 52, I just now got into Rush. I'm usually not a prog rock fan of bands like ELP, Yes, or Pink Floyd. Too cerebral for my tastes, but wow, the more I dig into their work, the more hooked I become. Of course, going back to the 80's,I already knew that Neil was a badass drummer. One of the very best. I wish I'd gotten into them way back then.

Canada's richest treasure!
Canada's Satanic Super Soldiers more like -- actually the entity is Bea, but I digress. They've got everybody fooled...had me for the longest time. Not anymore. They need to be slayed. Solaris is right about them.
The Toronto Blue Jays !!!
@@kenglass7833 Do you even know what we're talking about? It ain't the J's...dumbass.
@@ronnieeagleandthealchemist2333 You've got issues dude...don't blame them on Rush...you sound like you've been short a few fries of a happy meal, for a long time.
@@briankoops5171 I thought we were talking about Canada's greatest treasure, The Toronto Blue Jays ?? Geddy might agree ?? Hey Brian , Go Fuck Yourself !!!!! Canadian Style.
If Michael Moore did a documentary on Rush, he would have blamed the whole thing on Dick Cheney.

Moore likes to hear himself talk. Let the band talk you hoser.
I love these guys, but I couldn't make it through the interview. Too much MM talking.
Love Rush, but the interviewer talked too much. It's not about him and his theories, as much as I may agree with many of them.
Ugh. When the interviewer talks more than the interviewees you know it is a bad interview. It should not take 2-3 minutes to ask a question.
I agree with Alex
You can barely tell they are Canadian. They are polite, but they don't have the accent.
Love Rush. Michael Moore not so much
Dissapointed that Alex and Geddy would have anything to do with Michael Moore.
Illusion (Classic Rock) he's a fan, they're generally pretty nice to their fans
Best treasure now after the Guys worked their bollocks off being generally ignored up to a point
