I’m hitting 90 this week and I saw them back in the day with my grandson, never looked back!

one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time

Been a fan since I was a child. I’m 53 now and this guy has always been a class act. Love them all. R.I.P. Professor.

Guy's freaking cool! 🤣
How can you not like him?
Thanks for a lifetime of amazing music, Alex! 🤘

Three brilliantly talented musicians who fully expressed themselves in the exact same band for their entire careers, sharing credit equally. That's rare and beautiful.

Alex seems so down to earth, the kinda guy that would stop and talk to a fan.

I wish nothing but happiness for this wonderful man.

Surprisingly "Hemispheres" never gets mentioned. I of course love everything Rush has done but Hemispheres has always been my personal favorite!

I don't need Alex and Geddy to be playing together again.. great that they're doing different things, fans will get twice the amount of output from these two very exceptional people. I just want them to stay happy doing what they like, they earned it 😊

Not only were the members of Rush three of the most talented guys ever to be in a band together, but three of the kindest and most likable too

I just want to give Alex a freaking hug. I’ve been in absolute awe of RUSH since I stood in front of them in 1984 on their Grace Under Pressure tour.

This man is a living legend 🙌

Very underrated guitarist he has amazing body of work. He’s laid down some incredible riffs, but if you really want to appreciate his work, just listen to his stuff on power Windows, even though it’s a driven album, the textures and the phrase he created are amazing.

He is not joking about Natural Science. Of all the Rush catalog, that is one of the hardest to get under your fingers. Alex is one of my heroes on the instrument and he's the one I copies my collection from. I have his Epi signature and it's my number one. They sold out immediately so I had to pay three weeks salary to get one, but I don't care. It's now mine and my go to for any genre, especially Rush songs. And my fave of all time is Limelight. It is the first song I learned, including the solo (my version of it) and I play it over a backing track on open mic night at my local club. It's always a crowd favorite, even though the crowd was 11 people last time. You gotta start somewhere!

I never really liked rush through all the years. Then I saw their documentary and fell in love with them. I love how they have the same manager from when they were playing churches. I’d love how Getty and Alex are still BFFs after four decades of mayhem I love how, they worked with Neal and never questioned what he wanted to do when he had the most difficult decisions in the world. I love how they just took him back when he was ready and never questions a thing they moved on without missing a beat.
And their songs are beyond difficult to play And sing. And when they play live in concert, it’s beyond the albums, which I think technically is impossible.
I love that he’s here today talking to you so honestly smiling happy. My favorite part when you asked him which was the most difficult song, and his answer was everyone we played. That is so funny.
Thank you so much for this.

“Without Neil it can never be Rush. That’s it. It’s over.”
💯% Agree!

I was lucky enough to meet Alex and Geddy in Italy last fall. We were all on our way back to Canada at the airport in Venice. Big thrill for me.

Thank you, Alex, for stating the fact that without Neil, there is no Rush. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Thank you for your time.

I also love his tone in the 70s. His tone on Caress of Steel is among my favorite tones of all time.

He is the most humble and personable guy to be a rock star! Not arrogant at all. I had the privilege to meet him in 2004 when his yacht came in to dock at a restaurant where I was having lunch in Naples Fl. When I saw it was him I hurried outside down to the yacht. He then invited me aboard helping me step down and introduced me to his wife and little grandchild. Chatted for a few minutes with sincere interest that I was a fan. Thanked me for my support as he had been unfairly treated by Naples police at a New Year’s Eve event at Ritz Carlton Naples. Such a gracious and amazing human being!
