To the bemused surprise of many longtime fans (and the band members themselves), Rush has become "cool" in the States in recent years, receiving everything from their own well-reviewed documentary to the cover of Rolling Stone and enshrinement in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Rush's massive 'R40' box packs in plenty of rare and unreleased material -- and if you buy the 'Completist' version of the set, there's even more where that came from.
Though it moved far afield, a new Twitter Q&A with Rush's Geddy Lee did touch on a few musical topics -- in between those about, say, bandmate Neil Peart's scent after a concert.
Rush have made an awful lot of music over the years, so it's no surprise that guitarist Alex Lifeson doesn't have the sharpest recollection of the early unreleased performances the band unearthed for its new 'R40' box.
As anticipation builds toward the Nov. 11 release of Rush's 'R40' Blu-ray/DVD box set, a previously unreleased video of the group performing their song 'The Loser' has been released.
