After two years of promises, it finally happened — the mighty Rush Archives join Chaz and Schatz in the Haggis Shack! Colorado’s premier Rush tribute trio — Steve Clark (Geddy), Ferando Escobar (Alex), and Ron Straley (Neil) — finally sit down to talk all things Rush, from 2112 to Clockwork Angels.
They break down:
🎸 The band’s gateway Rush moments — Spirit of Radio, 2112, The Camera Eye
🥁 How Steve learned bass, keys, and foot pedals in six months (because...Geddy Lee)
📸 Legendary photographer Bill O’Leary still shooting film — with the same camera he used on Rush themselves
🤘 The impact of Rush’s return with Anika Nilles behind the kit
💸 Ticket prices, tribute scene realities, and what keeps the Archives authentic
And then — it’s time to spin the wheel…the mischievous wheel gives us the lead track to the Rush 2.0 era, “Anthem.”
The guys break down why that track still hits like a musical thunderclap — from Alex’s surgical riffing to Neil’s impossible syncopation — and why it remains a rallying cry for every working man.
