The Shock Of Any Trauma, I Think

We've Managed To Have A Long Career That Is Still Quite Vibrant, Yet We've Never Had To Kow-tow To Record Companies Who Said We Weren't Commercial Enough.

Pete Townsend For Me Was A Huge Influence. Because Essentially They Were A Three-piece Band And The Way He Structured His Chords And Took Up A Lot Of Space Musically In The Songs Was Really Important To The Way Rush Developed. Geddy And Neil Both Were Such Active Players And Lot Of The Time We Were All Playing Like Crazy And It Was Too Much And Somebody Had To Reel It In And Me Being The Faceless Guy, I Would Do That.

Rock Music Seems To Be Very Fragmented These Days, I Can't Say That I Ever Really Hear Anything That Just Knocks Me Over.

When I Look Out At The Audience At Some Of Our Shows, I Think We Are Reaching A Younger Audience... I See Lots Of People In Their 30s And 40s, But I Also See A Lot Of People In Their Young And Middle Teens, And Thats Definitely Reassuring.

At The Same Time, I've Never Been Afraid Of Death Or The Concept Of Death.
