I liked the fact that I was forced to get inside of my emotions and to really try to figure out a lot of what I was going through.

I can't remember the first song I learned to play on bass, but the first song I learned to play on guitar was 'For Your Love' by the Yardbirds. That kind of was the beginning for me. I thought it was a great song and I loved the open chord progression at the beginning of that song.

Geddy Lee

Nobody knows exactly what happens, but the dynamics in the performance disappear, and everything is at the same volume.

Geddy Lee

Live albums are very important for Rush, and they became sort of a closing chapter for us.

Back in the day, fans wrote letters to groups - you'd get them, although it could take a while. Now, artists can go online and there's discussions about what you should and shouldn't be doing. The minute you announce that you're recording an album, thousands of people are telling you what that album should be.
