Rush Interview 1992: "We were totally exhausted after the 'Hold Your Fire' tour"

RUSH wurden vor 50 Jahren gegründet - ein guter Anlass, um auf die Bandgeschichte der Progressive-Rocker zurückzublicken, die in ihrer Besetzung mit Alex Lifeson (g.), Sänger/Bassist/Keyboarder Geddy Lee und Drummer Neil Peart seit 1974 stabil blieben. Wir haben für euch in den Video-Archiven gesucht und ein Video-Interview mit Alex Lifeson von 1992 zu Tage gefördert, das auf unserer "Rock Guerilla.tv Vol. 18"-DVD erschienen ist. Was Alex über die bewegte Bandgeschichte alles zu berichten hat? Seht selbst!

Saw Primus w Rush in Atlanta at the Omni. Perfect! Another combo act just as good was Living Colour & King's X.

[@chuckmason5328]

Saw that concert in Hampton, Virginia and it was incredible.

[@Augfordpdoggie]

[@joelalexander4513]

Saw them with Mr. Big, gutted that I didn't see em w/Primus. Love the boys! RUSH!

I saw every concert on that tour in Europe. There was no support as I remember just one concert where Wishbone ash supported them in Germany. Frankfurt or Stuttgart I can’t remember. Slept on train stations etc apart from Frankfurt where we had a hotel with one of those £99 Sounds or NME concert deals. We met them there and left after the concert to get to Stuttgart. Memorable.

I remember the Rotterdam lag of the Hold Your Fire tour and Geddy was just exhausted during the show

[@westsidecater]

In what way?

[@justimprovising]

@@westsidecater they all had flu at various times during that tour and Geddy had issues with his throat. They took an extended break afterwards

[@fever_spike]

@@justimprovisingWhen/where did they mention being sick on that tour? This is the first I’m hearing of this…?

[@justimprovising]

@@fever_spike Alex in interview with M.E.A.T. Magazine March '92 (on Cygnus website) - "Geddy got sore in his throat often, and I got the flu...it was one thing after another. It was a very tense, stressful tour." There's mention of it in the Contents under Pressure book too. I'm sure I read that they *all* had flu but can't find it now. Anyway, after the tour they went straight into working on ASOH and were exhausted by the time they finished. But after a 7 month break everyone was happy to get back to work on Presto :)

[@fever_spike]

@@justimprovisingGot it…thanks so much for the info, fellow Rusher! I need to get Contents Under Pressure-been wanting to, but haven’t as yet.

[@moosewhizzerdave2066]

That sweater/sweatshirt looks so soft and comfortable.

[@marzald2955]

Total Hammer! 💗💗💗

[@punknerd9747]

Alex looked like Bob Rock during this era

[@chrisbrodie6586]

I had as much hair as Alex at that age. Now I am bald like Alex at this age. :(

[@zakmoon7065]

0:15 the way he sits in the chair is really Awkward

[@robertghanem1424]

Jeff Daniels

[@missdoom1]

Sorry to say this but most germans are not that goofy, but a bit boring lol. If I interviewed Alex here, I would probably try to bring out more of his funny side :D

[@dusty3913]

Apparently, this is after the show. Alex looks worn out.

[@theanalogkid2778]

Wth why does lifeson look like modern day Joe Elliot?
