As a guitarist who was totally influenced by Lifeson, I really appreciate you posting these interviews on the technical aspects from the guitarist perspective.

PW is my favourite Rush album. It was when I really got up & payed attention to Rush. The soundtrack of my life!

Power Windows is the best Rush album. I don’t care what anyone says. And I’m a Caress of Steel fan, Hemispheres prog freak and appreciate what Moving Pictures is. PW is a masterpiece.

It's great, and so are Signals and Grace Under Pressure, but Moving Pictures was their finest hour in my opinion. Power Windows was their last great album - it's all a gradual downhill slide from there. Each one has fewer hooks than the one before it and by Vapor Trails, the hooks are gone forever.

I think pretty much the same. I also include HYF and Presto as Rush masterpieces

I had that issue. Thanks for the post. I came on the Rush bandwagon on Power Windows. It’s still my favorite album just for the sentimental value . It was the first Rush Tour I saw. I’ll never forget it.

Thank you for this interview. Although it may be old, it's still valid. I love hearing what equipment was used for Alex's parts. Also, Alex and Geddy are about the nicest gentlemen around.

Love hearing the enthusiasm about the process. What Rush did, performance and studio recording, for such a long time was amazing. It never gets old to hear.

What a treat! Thanks for sharing this. My first Rush show was 2 days before this interview at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland. 9th row, center! Guitar Player was *the* guitar magazine back then and the issues with Alex were always my favorites. Power Windows came out when I was 15. The positivity in Rush’s music and lyrics…the thought and expertise that went into those songs…I can only say that it inspired me and thousands of other fans to live a little better and reach for our potential. I went on to guitar school (MI in Hollywood) and scratched out a good life playing and teaching music. Without Alex, I feel like I might’ve become a drunken golf pro. Thanks again for sharing. I certainly will sign up for your paid Substack. Merry Christmas, all! 🎅🎄🎸😎👍😇

It’s cool to hear things like -this was the first album he used a Jazz Chorus 120 on since AFTK……Which was clear on Xanadu and Madrigal. It’s a very special amp and by far the best clean chorus/dimension effect ever made. Also the info on 224 lexicon reverts, dimension D , Loft delay ….etc. Great job back then getting these little details. Will be fun to go throw on the monitors and listen again for these textures and sounds. One thing I’ll add that is not mentioned enough is Andy Richards’ keyboard and Sequencer contributions to the album. He really was a 4th member on this. Look it up. …..He was hired on this and HYF and I feel a big contributor to these records. Alex mentions they wanted to keep the “band” just the 3 of them and could pull off taking the sounds on road with midi and samplers….but for 2 albums Rush had a world class keyboard master named Andy Richards.

GREAT interviewer. Very rare skill. Most don’t how to listen, when to speak, never step on responses etc. It’s shocking how bad many of the biggest utube interviewers are nowadays. Guys w million followers, total dogshit skills and sound torqued on adderall or something. Not conducive to good interviews. You sir are a good one, thx
