Rush is an amazing band, both lyrically and musically. Their drummer, Neil Peart, unfortunately passed away due to illness a few years ago. He was called The Professor because he wrote most of Rush’s lyrics. There is a KZbin video of a drum solo. He did in Frankfurt Germany. That will blow your mind.

@YT_MertCan - Rush was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame and deservedly so. Neil Peart was considered one of it not THE best rock drummer of all time and he was usually their lyricist. Losing his wife and daughter tragically he took a year long motorcycle journey and wrote a book about how to deal with grief. A brilliant man. Geddy (Gary) Lee is an absolutely amazing bassist. When he played guitar or keyboards he would play bass with his feet using a synthesizer. Alex Lifeson was an amazing guitarist. Three men produced the sound of a dozen. They had a worldwide following. When inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame Alex's speech consisted of @ 2 minutes of "blah, blah, blah" mocking the banality of acceptance speeches. They were all comical guys. On stage they would have tons of silly props like washing machines and rubber chickens. I'm not a fan of heavy stuff but their virtuosity was magnetic.

Geddy Lee was the bassist, kayboardist and lead singer of Ruch - a Canadian ProgRock group that was out at the same time as "Yes" in the '70s and '80s. They used to sneak into "Yes" concerts they were too young to get into. But - in a weird twist of fate - it was Geddy Lee who inducted "Yes" into the R&R Hall of Fame - and took the late Chris Squires' place on stage when they played "Roundabout" at the Awards night. How cool is that ?!?

Bob and Doug McKenzie were introduced as characters to mock the Canadian content laws of the country. It's really important that you watch entire episodes of SCTV to fully grasp what is going on in each of these little skits. I can't overstate how important that is. Bob and Doug were introduced because the government of the day complain that the show resemble too closely common shows out of USA, and they needed to be substantially Canadian content in each episode. So, the SCTV creators came up with Bob and Doug, quintessentially Canadian boys just to mock the requirements. They had no idea they would become such iconic characters, arguably the most famous and popular characters in Canadian TV history.

They're incredible musicians with a 40 year library of amazing songs. Suggestions for Rush songs: Fly by Night, Lakeside Park, 2112, Something for Nothing, A Passage to Bangkok, Closer to the Heart, Xanadu, La Villa Strangiato, The Spirit of Radio, Freewill, Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, Limelight, Subdivisions, The Analog Kid, Between the Wheels, Manhattan Project, Marathon, Lock and Key, Presto, Available Light, Roll the Bones, Ghost of a Chance, Bravado, Leave that Thing Alone, Nobody's Hero, The Garden. This is just scratching the surface. Be sure to pay attention to the incredibly well written lyrics. Neil Peart, Rush's drummer, was the band's main lyricist. He passed away in January 2020. All the guys in Rush were kind of unusual for rock stars in that they didn't take themselves too seriously. Alex Lifeson, the guitarist, is absolutely hilarious. You should see his guest starring role on an episode of the Canadian show Trailer Park Boys as well. Also, give the movie I Love you, Man a watch with Paul Rudd & Jason Segel.

Everyone is going to mention "Tom Sawyer" by Rush, it's a great song and a song to introduce into Rush's music. Their masterpiece in my opinion was the album 2112. I always try to mention this song when Rush is mentioned even though it's actually a Max Webster song but all three members of Rush play on it called "Battlescar". I was too young to have seen it but they actually played my High School before they released their first album when John Rutzey was still their drummer. Neill Peart who replaced Rutzey completely changed the sound of Rush, they were more of a rock/blues band (a great song off of their first album is "Working Man") that transformed into a prog rock band and Peart was one of the most highly regarded drummers in the world. I actually got the Great White North album for a Christmas gift when it was popular, I used to love watching SCTV back in the day and it still makes me laugh. At the beginning of each episode they would show a shot of someone throwing a tv out the window from an apartment building.
