ROLL THE BONES
RUSH
The biggest cult band in the world were in a good place in 1991. Rush had come a long way in the 10 years since the multimillionselling album Moving Pictures had, as guitarist Alex Lifeson said, “changed our lives”. The scale of its success proved to be problematic for fame-averse drummer Neil Peart, and Lifeson too had become unsettled in the following years, as Rush albums became dominated by bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee’s obsession with synthesisers, leaving the guitarist marginalised.
