Eddie Trunk and members of Anthrax talk Rush January 24, 2006
Eddie Trunk and Anthrax Discuss Rush (MP3, 2.7MB)
Counterparts member roll the bones has posted yet another Eddie Trunk interview where Rush is discussed. This one is from back in April when Eddie had members of Anthrax on to discuss their upcoming reunion tour. They played Lakeside Park during a break which prompted a discussion about what was the best Rush live album. Eddie and Joey Belladonna think it”s All the World”s a Stage while Charlie Benante thinks it”s Exit Stage Left. Eddie basically admits that Rush “lost it with him” after Permanent Waves - although he does like Rush in Rio. After listening to this interview Eddie “lost it with me”.

Neil Peart discusses the art of the drum solo January 22, 2006
The Big Bang
In this article Dan Neil from the Los Angeles Times talks with Neil Peart about his new instructional dvd and the demise of the drum solo.
The Big Bang
… The passing of rock drum solos was so unlamented that I might have missed it but for a new DVD by Neil Peart called “Anatomy of a Drum Solo.” Peart is the drummer/percussionist for the arena rock institution Rush and is widely considered the greatest living rock drummer. By my calculation, Peart is also the most prolific drum soloist ever. In its astounding 31-year history with its original lineup, Rush has spent more time on the road than the Roman army, and there was always, always a drum solo in the show. At least there was the five times I saw them.So I called Neil Peart to ask: What happened to the drum solo?…

Heavy Metal Documentary “A Headbanger”s Journey” To Hit Theaters Next Month
A new documentary called A Headbanger”s Journey which features Geddy Lee of Rush and many other metal greats will be released across Canada on Feb. 24. The film from Seville Pictures is directed by Sam Dunn, Scot McFadyen and Jessica Joy Wise. From the article:Heavy Metal Documentary “A Headbanger”s Journey” To Hit Theaters Next Month
… The documentary follows Sam Dunn, a professional anthropologist, long-time heavy metal fan and practitioner through his own band, as he searches for the source of the mythology surrounding this music maligned and cursed by some, but adored by millions worldwide who cling to it like the cross itself. Over the course of his worldwide trek, he examines metal”s obsession with some of life”s most provocative subjects - sex, religion, violence and death …. it is a fast-paced blast through the genre”s origins, through doom and thrash, through the saccharine hair metal phase, through the notorious black metal blight of the late “90s, right up until the metalcore revolution shaking the music industry”s foundations today. Metal is louder, faster, more intrusive and more insidiously invasive today than its ever been, and “Metal: A Headbanger”s Journey” tells us why, for once, from the point of view of a true metalhead, an insider who lives it, breathes it, and nails the complex tale dead-on. Casual fan or ardent student of metal”s million permutations, this documentary will inform relentlessly. ……
