[@johnvanalstine9645]

To understand the literal meaning of the term, 30+ years later, this might help: "The Distant Early Warning Line, also known as the DEW Line or Early Warning Line, was a system of radar stations in the northern Arctic region of Canada, with additional stations along the north coast and Aleutian Islands of Alaska (see Project Stretchout and Project Bluegrass), in addition to the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland. It was set up to detect incoming bombers of the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and provide early warning of any sea-and-land invasion." (Wikipedia)

Dude. I love Alex’s playing in the early 80’s. Actually love all his playing but I am a sucker for that early 80’s sound. Andy summers had the same sound in a lot of ways.

[@Special_K_42069]

He's the best. Have you seen Come on Children (1973)? He's but a young lad in that

[@nebula1924]

@@rbjax2001 '81 was my favorite year of rush. Moving Pictures & Exit Stage Left was a period where Alex began using a little more Fender guitars while getting the best imo sounds out of Gibsons I've ever heard. It was that in between period after the minimalistic guitar/Amp setup and before the synth heavy / polished effects precessors sounds. I liked all three but prefer that goldilocks 1977-81 period.

He never needed to have crazy extended soloing to prove he is a master musician but I do wish some solos with that guitar tone in the 80’s were extended a few more bars lol including marathon where he could have really went wild .

Rush is one of those unique bands with a unique sound an doesn't appeal to most hard rock/prog rock fans. In the 80's, liking Rush often got you labeled as a nerd or egg head, and back then I couldn't figure out why. Sure, I was isolated a bit for loving Rush, but they gave me a confidence and strength that I never knew I had, because I loved Rush, but couldn't care less about being popular. Once I heard "Subdivisions", as a kid; I was hooked.

[@MikeT-TheRetiredColonel]

When I was 17, I got to see them for the first time at MSG, NYC in 82 during Signals. Before I got there, I had NO clue what songs they did.

These guys were so good between Neil’s drums and Geddy’s Bass what a powerful musical force throw in the guitar of Alex and you have the stuff of legends honestly the pop swing in the 80’s kinda turned me off but even then the drums, bass and guitar that is unique to only these three shines through
