In a fairly recent interview, the interviewer asked Geddy what he really thought of Alex, without a seconds hesitation Geddy answered " He's the best rhythm guitarist in the world "
Thank you!!!!! I've been saying this for years ! He's been on the cover if countless guitar magazine covers, he has a whole line of guitars and equipment, he's cited as an influence from a ton of fellow guitar players and he does great in fan polls. He does get overlooked because he plays alongside arguably the most beloved rhythm section in rock history, but he's not underrated in the least.
What I love most about him is he feels no need to be front and center and the attention. He brings whatever a particular song needs from him. Amd he does it 150%. He can pour so much emotion into such simple melodies, one note at a time. Or he can absolutely murder the guitar with a face melting shredfest.
I've always thought his "Blah blah blah" speech at the RHOF was very much like his guitar playing - telling a story with "notes". At 7:24 it reminds me of him saying how he had to sustain notes and be creative with the guitar to have a blended tone to compensate for Geddy and Neil when those nuts are going off all over the place.
Everyone rightfully praises YYZ and La Villa Strangiato, but this is hands down my favourite instrumental track they ever laid down. It is a pure groove from start to finish, all three of them locked in tight, and this is the absolute best version of it.
Total masterpiece. There's so much going on technically despite them making it sound simple. Alex's guitar soars over the bass and drums in the most unlikely and yet natural sounding way. Mmmm mm mmm.
There's so many things that make Rush a great band and the proof is how they're able to play so many different instrumentals (usually 10 minutes long) and keep listeners engaged & wanting more when its over !
They follow musical construction theory... theme. Modify theme. Variation. New theme. Modification. Bridge. Opposing theme amd variation. Back to 2nd theme. New theme. Variation. Return to the original theme modified again. Variation. End. It's cohesive and follows a structure like a story you can follow. Each theme is repeated a few times so you learn it. And you don't get bored because ot progresses.
Eddie Van Halen was once asked in an interview how does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world. His response was quote “ I don’t know you’d have to ask Alex lifeson”
Not true. Urban legend that's been said about every combination of guitarists you can name. However, Alex is definitely one of the top rock guitarists ever.
I agree with you about Alex. He 's one of the most underrated rock guitarists ever. And he's one of the greatest ever. Rush's music has his signature all over it.
Geddy just vibing while Alex is going way off. Neil just back there doing his thing like its nothing. All 3 playing solo's but making it sound like a great song. every dang time. and the ending with Geddy.......amazing. great reaction. keep em coming.
This is one of my favorite live performances! Everyone is on fire here, but Geddy's bass playing is my favorite part of this song. You can hear and see why he is widely considered one of the best rock bassists of all time! As for Alex, I agree that he is often underrated when it comes to musician polls and media acclaim (although musicians know how good he is!). Geddy has expressed how he also feels Alex is underrated by rock critics in a passage in his memoir, 'My Effin' Life'. He praised Alex, and during their talk during Geddy's book tour in Toronto, he and Alex described how they work together: Geddy said Alex is a "spontaneous genius', coming up with amazing guitar riffs that Geddy has to record so that Alex could listen back and re-learn what he had just played off of the cuff! As for Geddy, Alex described him as a someone who 'needs to know everything that is wrong before he knows that it's right' and that he goes through a certain methodical, creative process. Meanwhile, I recently read an article where Neil describes Geddy's playing as "methodical and passionate." I think the same could be said for Neil's playing, which is why they were such a tight rhythm section. For a future reaction, I suggest the live version of 'Where's My Thing? Here It Is' Live from Dallas. It features both a bass solo and a drum solo.
Amazing talent along with an ENORMOUS amount of hard work. In the last few tours, their catalog of songs is sooo big, they would bring back songs they haven't played in 20 years and have to relearn it. Just 3 monster virtuosos!
Alex in any other band would be on the front of every guitar magazine. He just kind of gets less spotlight in Rush because the two fellers he plays with are also in the stratosphere.
Dude c'mon...it's because they are Canadian and the American's can't handle it. I saw an American top 100 best guitarist list and they put Alex about 15th behind Kurt Cobain! LMFAO!
You hit it on the head. Alex has been underrated for literally decades. I call this performance of the song "Geddy Beats Up His Bass Like It Owe Him Money".
Eu amo como Alex casa perfeitamente com Neil e Geddy... Amo mais ainda que pudemos e ainda podemos (através dos registros) nos desfrutar desse trio de amigos maravilhosos! ❤❤
I took a friend of mine to his first Rush show in Baltimore, time machine tour, and he was blown away by this instrumental. He was like what was that song I just heard, and I had to remind him it was just an instrumental called leave that thing alone. He was shocked.
One of my all time favorite RUSH tunes. They’re so great that they don’t even need lyrics. All of RUSH instrumentals are sheer perfection and genius. I agree that Al is underrated as a guitarist and melody composer. This topic is frequently discussed in a lot of my RUSH groups on Facebook. Keep going sister. There’s a lot more genius to uncover in the RUSH universe. 🤘🎶💜
I agree with your observation about Alex and his lack of recognition. He plays guitar with a top rated drummer and top rated bassist and I have never heard anybody say "Rush would be a great band if they could find a better guitarist". All three of these guys are amongst the elite players of their respective instruments.
You used to find Alex’s name very commonly on lists called “Most Underrated Guitarists.” This performance showcases so well their approach after Neil re-engaged following his sabbatical. They told themselves it would be about having fun and they certainly followed through: the chickens, the washer/dryers, the groupie dolls at Alex’s pedal board, Stewie on Neil’s drum kit… just three guys enjoying themselves and delivering their brand of rock to people who wanted to be drenched in it. 🙏🏼
@@redheadedneighbor I can’t find it 😭, only Rush merchandise (probably unlicensed stuff from China which I would never buy)… but not his hilarious, self-effacing Rash shirt..
Rush i saw them in Stockholm once. Incredible band. Back in the 70 i had two LP:s with the band...The first was simply "Rush" and the second "Fly by night". They sounde differnt back then. Great reaction. Thank you. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤
I saw this tour about a week before this was recorded for the Time Machine DVD. It might be my favorite of the 19 times I saw this magnificent band. Moving Pictures in it's entirety is hard to top. They sounded as good as any time I saw them.
Alex Lifeson has some of the best guitar solos that i've ever heard. Of the top of my head i can't think of anyone that does guitar solos that sounds better
Love the Data shirt! Agree that Alex has always been overlooked. Taking absolutely nothing away from Neil or Geddy, I do think it's a bit harder to stand out as a guitar player given the spotlight the instrument always gets an the number of amazing talents who've played it. Alex crafts some excellent guitar parts in support of the songs, and always delivers an interesting solo, whether it be soaring, weird, fun or beautiful. But he can also flat-out shred when he wants to.
Being a 3 piece Alex has had to not only fill lead guitar duties, but also occasionally has had to be a rhythm guitarist when Geddy's keyboards have taken the lead. When you think of his contribution over their long career it's just mind blowing
Just like you don't just hear or listen to music Red you live each song 💯Geddy feels that bass as if the strings were his fingers❤#reaction #rush #rushreaction #geddylee #alexlifeson #neilpeart #leavethatthingalonereaction #redheadedneighbor #bestreactor #redsarmy #beautifulfuncountrygirl #29K #heartofgoldwithmetalinhersoul #bestbadjokes

Eddie Van Halen was ranked the best guitarist by Rolling Stone magazine back in the day. An interviewer asked him how it felt to be the best. His response was 'I don't know, you should ask Alex Lifeson'.Sep 12, 2021
I’m sorry you could not have seen them live. There was always an wave of emotion and energy when the show is about to start and the house lights go down. Their later tours , they were three hour long spectacles with no opening band. Probably because bands said “ no! We are not going in before rush. The fans will charge the stage and throw us off. “ Jim Belishi had a tv show where he alluded to that. His band was playing and the crowd booed them off. He walked away and said “ you’d think we were opening for Rush!”
Each member is so good on their instruments that their instrumentals are just as good as their songs with lyrics. For some the instrumentals are their favs.
ALEX!! Totally Underrated!! Surely you play guitar 🎸 to catch that?? Years ago I was in Apple Music Store of Portland Oregon and some ignoramus said " That Alex Lifeson is the King Of Slop"⁉️ He was a little older and bigger (at the time) otherwise I would have Decked him!! Anyway you're really getting the hang of this. Good Freaking Job Lady!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

Did you notice Geddy's T-Shirt? it says "RASH" hahahaha. Also, one of his others that he wore frequently, was what Alex Lifeson *ONLY* said for his speech, during their Induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame- "BLAH BLAH BLAH" 😆😆😆
Geddy is one of the most ferocious bass players in rock and probably has the most callust middle finger!!

It was The Tim 2:44 e Machine tour. They played all of moving pictures live! Awesome show! Played all of Moving Pictures because it eas the 30th anniversary of the alblum! One of the best tours I've seen!
This is in my top 3 studio Rush albums. If you decide to do an "entire album reaction", I highly recommend this one. Not a bad track on it, and the production is top tier - you can hear everything.
Not true. Urban legend that's been said about every combination of guitarists you can name. However, Alex is definitely one of the top rock guitarists ever.
My thought is that every top-ten guitarists poll has Alex Lifeson at #11. 😎 RUSH could fill an entire concert with their instrumentals. 😍
In a fairly recent interview, the interviewer asked Geddy what he really thought of Alex, without a seconds hesitation Geddy answered " He's the best rhythm guitarist in the world "
BAAAAMMMM! Exactly! Great comment.
....and he's a goofball.
I read an interview with Alex in which he said the same thing, maybe Geddy was making fun of those words.
As someone else once said, Geddy coming back out and apologizing for going nuts is the most Canadian thing ever. Gotta love it
One of my favorite Geddy Lee basslines.
He really digs into it on this one. Nice Data T, Red.
An underrated bass line of his can be heard on Territories...
The whole Time Machine concert from Cleveland is a must watch!! It's almost 3 hours of musical goodness!!
Alex Lifeson is not underrated. He is merely underappreciated.
Thank you!!!!! I've been saying this for years ! He's been on the cover if countless guitar magazine covers, he has a whole line of guitars and equipment, he's cited as an influence from a ton of fellow guitar players and he does great in fan polls.
He does get overlooked because he plays alongside arguably the most beloved rhythm section in rock history, but he's not underrated in the least.
Alex is a magician
He makes a guitar whisper talk sing cry and scream. He more than most understands mood and blending sounds. Very creative
What I love most about him is he feels no need to be front and center and the attention. He brings whatever a particular song needs from him. Amd he does it 150%. He can pour so much emotion into such simple melodies, one note at a time. Or he can absolutely murder the guitar with a face melting shredfest.
I've always thought his "Blah blah blah" speech at the RHOF was very much like his guitar playing - telling a story with "notes". At 7:24 it reminds me of him saying how he had to sustain notes and be creative with the guitar to have a blended tone to compensate for Geddy and Neil when those nuts are going off all over the place.
Just 3 boys playing in a really cool sandbox. And doing it PERFECTLY
They are monsters. Appreciate the reaction 👏.
GEDDY LEE is the GOAT of BASS Guitar!
Everyone rightfully praises YYZ and La Villa Strangiato, but this is hands down my favourite instrumental track they ever laid down. It is a pure groove from start to finish, all three of them locked in tight, and this is the absolute best version of it.
Witnessing full blown addiction is quite the Rush. You're addicted.
Total masterpiece. There's so much going on technically despite them making it sound simple. Alex's guitar soars over the bass and drums in the most unlikely and yet natural sounding way. Mmmm mm mmm.
"Alex...WAY underrated"...Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!
Well me oh my! You appear to have become a Rushheadedneighbor!
There's so many things that make Rush a great band and the proof is how they're able to play so many different instrumentals (usually 10 minutes long) and keep listeners engaged & wanting more when its over !

I have to agree: I LOVE RUSH!!! ❤️ 😍 🤘🤘🤘
Eddie Van Halen was once asked in an interview how does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world. His response was quote “ I don’t know you’d have to ask Alex lifeson”
Which is solid praise as Eddie was absolutely no slouch.
Not true. Urban legend that's been said about every combination of guitarists you can name. However, Alex is definitely one of the top rock guitarists ever.
Yeah, that never happened. This has been said about Phil Keagy too. Van Halen never made this statement.
@@stevetippett206 Keaggy is an impressive guitarist. But this young dude Marcin from Poland, he is jaw dropping! That said, I love Alex!
Love their instrumentals so much. Geddy always seems happy when on stage, but he seems happiest when he isnt tethered to the mic.
Geddy at his best. Love it!!!! What a MONSTER.
Lol...yes the dudes basting chickens and doing laundry are so funny
I agree with you about Alex. He 's one of the most underrated rock guitarists ever. And he's one of the greatest ever. Rush's music has his signature all over it.

Hehe no one solos alone in Rush. If Alex takes a solo, Geddy and Peart are too... just a little toned down from him.
Never forget, Rush is Alex's band. He chose his band mates well...
I agree, Alex has to be one of the top 3 guitarists, very underrated!
This is one of my favorite live performances! Everyone is on fire here, but Geddy's bass playing is my favorite part of this song.

Thanks so much for this! You're right, Alex doesn't get anywhere near the recognition he deserves. His playing is visceral.
@Redheadedneighbor...thanks for having the balls to play these songs. You're introducing the World to Rush!
That first shot of the drum kit! Took me a couple of seconds to find Neil. 😂 I think I've just found a new favourite Rush song. 😊
I wish you could have seen them live ....thank you for discovering Rush with us.....I cried the day Neil passed !....also, these 3 have no equals :)
Turn that thing into: Geddys Solo! 🎉 😂❤ 👉 Rash
Amazing talent along with an ENORMOUS amount of hard work. In the last few tours, their catalog of songs is sooo big, they would bring back songs they haven't played in 20 years and have to relearn it. Just 3 monster virtuosos!

I have stacks of guitar magazines with Lifeson on the cover. He gets his due.
Dude c'mon...it's because they are Canadian and the American's can't handle it. I saw an American top 100 best guitarist list and they put Alex about 15th behind Kurt Cobain! LMFAO!
Thank you for doing this song. Brings back great memories for me. Alex is one of the top lead guitarist in the world.
You hit it on the head. Alex has been underrated for literally decades.

Now you can see why Paulina from The Warning strives to be just like Neil Peart , her idol
That is why Alex gave that blah, blah, blah speech at the rock and roll hall of fame show, no lie, you need to watch that show. Seriously.
I agree with your observation about Alex and his lack of recognition. He plays guitar with a top rated drummer and top rated bassist and I have never heard anybody say "Rush would be a great band if they could find a better guitarist". All three of these guys are amongst the elite players of their respective instruments.
Geddy's bass tone is so biting and badass.
One of My Favorite songs from the Canadian Masters! Looks like You had another Rushgasm, R.H.N.! Keep up the great work! ❤❤❤
The Three Guys Orchestra!
What a big smile today

I’m with you on Alex. One of my favourite guitarists of all time, definitely in my top six.
Geddy’s “Rash” t shirt cracks me up every time 😂 I wish I could find one
I saw one on Amazon!!
@@redheadedneighbor I can’t find it 😭, only Rush merchandise (probably unlicensed stuff from China which I would never buy)… but not his hilarious, self-effacing Rash shirt..
Rash shirt came with a box set of the Blu Ray and CD of this concert - I still wear mine and get funny looks.
I want Geddys shirt RASH. Fantastic.
Alex’s library of amazing arpeggios in service of his alternating rhythm and lead on every song is staggering.

🤗 Awesome song! Awesome Reaction! 🥰🐰
They were the best band in the world in thair first year of playing all 3 separately are number 1 in the world
2112 all 7 parts, Live 1997..In my tiny opinion, it's one of Alex's best live performances..🦅
Is that, that beautiful redheaded lady with the supermodel face? Yeah, that's her. Hi gorgeous Red! 😊❤❤❤
I was blessed to see the prophets ,RIP The Professor.
I saw this tour about a week before this was recorded for the Time Machine DVD. It might be my favorite of the 19 times I saw this magnificent band. Moving Pictures in it's entirety is hard to top. They sounded as good as any time I saw them.
I caught the last show of that tour, in George, WA. I remember that Geddy was so happy and having a blast. This track was definitely the highlight.
You are hooked on Rush! I love it! It is a wonderful addiction!
Alex Lifeson has some of the best guitar solos that i've ever heard. Of the top of my head i can't think of anyone that does guitar solos that sounds better
Alex tearing it up, Neil- "Oh yeah?", Geddy- "Hold my beer"........😎

All three of them are on those lists ! 😁
Thanks yet again for another exciting Rush reaction, Red! You're great! 😄
Each member is so good on their instruments that their instrumentals are just as good as their songs with lyrics. For some the instrumentals are their favs.
Love rush! Also have that shirt. Ode to spot! Awesome!!!
Rock on! Twins!
This song has such a great vibe! If anybody can make a guitar emoteit is Alex Lifeson!
None better!
Another amazing instrumental, love this so much, happy to see you react to this.
ALEX!! Totally Underrated!! Surely you play guitar 🎸 to catch that??

Rush Gives Meaning To Human Life, Captain.
Thanks for another great Rush reaction
No one brings it on an instrumental like the Holy Triumvirate!!!
Alex is indeed the "middle child" of this band.
Thus is definitely in my top 4 Rush instrumentals. It's placement is purely dependent on my mood for at day for places 2 through 4.
Restrained chaos!
Extremely detailed and organized chaos.
Rush instrumentals are always great. "Where's My Thing" is very cool and jazzy, Also, "The Main Monkey Business" is super smooth.
Keep rockin' the Mr. Data & Spot t-shirt.
This is what I call 'Three Masters of Their Craft having fun!'
Alex is sooooooooooo gooood!
Did you notice Geddy's T-Shirt? it says "RASH" hahahaha. Also, one of his others that he wore frequently, was what Alex Lifeson *ONLY* said for his speech, during their Induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame- "BLAH BLAH BLAH" 😆😆😆
Geddy is one of the most ferocious bass players in rock and probably has the most callust middle finger!! The Chris Squire influence is there but Chris played with a pic, so Geddy was actually able to surpass him in versatility. Geddy was also a big fan of John Entwistle and Jeff Berlin, and these are three completely different players that have almost nothing in common. This may explain why Geddy is so insanely versatile. A bass player's bass player!
The reason Alex is underrated is simply because he just happens to be in a band with those two lunatics! Alex is the real reason that they sound like 5 guys, his chordal arrangement and ability to fill the space is unmatched in rock, and his guitar solos actually speak with a human voice...no-one else does that.
One of my very favorite live tunes they do!
It was The Tim 2:44 e Machine tour. They played all of moving pictures live! Awesome show! Played all of Moving Pictures because it eas the 30th anniversary of the alblum! One of the best tours I've seen!
SLAPPIN DA BASS!!!!!
Yup.......new meaning to the word "Awesome" !!
Cheerz!!
I saw this tour in Baltimore MD AWESOME! would an understatement, they played the entire Moving Pictures album and many others
“I feel like Alex is so underrated”, she says. Hahaha - she’s a true Rush fan now, lol. One of us, one of us. 😂
This is in my top 3 studio Rush albums. If you decide to do an "entire album reaction", I highly recommend this one. Not a bad track on it, and the production is top tier - you can hear everything.
Right there with ya! Alex is WAY underrated!!
Nice fluffing of the hair! It looks amazing!!
The lads can play.
Thank you for your wonderful review! Best bass I’ve ever heard since Jaco and Jack Bruce.
Alex = D E M E N T I A L GUITAR !!!!
A reporter asked Eddie Van Halen "how's it feels to be to best guitarist in the word?" He replied I don't know! You'd have to ask Alex Lifeson
