	Rush - Music Downloads - Online
		Rush formed in Toronto, Ontario, in the autumn of 1968, and initially comprised guitarist Alex Lifeson (born Alexander Zivojinovich), vocalist/bassist Geddy Lee (born Gary Lee Weinrib), and drummer John Rutsey.
		In their primary incarnation, the trio drew a heavy influence from Cream, and honed their skills on the Toronto club circuit before issuing their debut single, a rendition of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away," in 1973.
		A self-titled LP followed in 1974, at which time Rutsey exited; he was replaced by drummer Neil Peart, who also assumed the role of the band's primary songwriter, composing the cerebral lyrics (influenced by works of science fiction and fantasy) that gradually became a hallmark of the group's aesthetic.

		They interchanged bands with drummer John Rutsey a number of times over the next few years, often with other members, even being in an early version of a band called Rush at one point.
		Finally with a set lineup of Lee, Lifeson and Rutsey, they became an underground favourite and soon made enough to cut their first 45 on their own label, Moon Records.
		It was during this time that the group was noticed by Phonogram Records in the US and Attic in Canada and also saw drummer John Rutsey replaced by a former mythology student named Neil Peart.

	Rush -- by Brian Harrigan
		When they were 15 years old and still in high school, they teamed up with a friend of Lifeson's called John Rutsey in order to play some of the music that they enjoyed listening to.
		Geddy Lee recalled later that Rutsey's health really was bad as a result, he reckoned, of the grueling live schedule that the band had set for itself right from its beginning.
		It also might be added that John Rutsey had been considered the band's chief Iyricist and when he declared his intention of dropping out from the band Geddy Lee had had to fill the gap - a task which he hadn't relished.

		Rutsey left after their first album in 1974 and was replaced by virtuoso drummer Neil Peart, who soon took over all lyrical responsibility for the band as well as becoming one of the most famous and renowned drummers in rock.
		Their first album, and only with original drummer John Rutsey, including the rock radio staple "Working Man," an extended Zepplin-esque jam that shows their British blues roots and improvisational skills that would be less apparent as time went on.
		The first album with drummer Neil Peart, who's impact is immediately evident in both his lyric writing on a majority of the tracks and his incredible drumming that would earn him several awards in years to come.

		I say that because the drummer at the time of this recording was, of course, not Neil Peart, but one John Rutsey.
		And while John was a competent drummer, let s face it, without Neil, the trio of John, Geddy and Alex would have supplied us with some memorable tunes, but we would never have heard the likes of 2112 or Hemispheres.
		After John left the band, Neil arrived and brought a whole new focus to the trio s direction, but let's hold that thought for now.

		Taking up bass as a teenager and influenced by the likes of the Who's John Entwistle, Cream's Jack Bruce, and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, Lee hooked up with guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer John Rutsey to form the hard rocking trio Rush (Lee would also serve as the band's lead vocalist).
		Although the band would eventually find success and fortune as a progressive hard rock band, early on they were highly derivative of blues rock, as their self-titled 1973 debut proved.
		But when Neil Peart replaced Rutsey one year later, the band's sound and musical direction immediately changed.

		Rush, at this time, consisted on Geddy Lee on bass and vocals, Alex Lifeson on Guitar and John Rutsey on the drums.
		After this album was released, Rutsey would leave the band due to health and other personal issues.
		Nice guitar work from Lifeson, apt percussion work from Rutsey, and the driving bass line that quickly became a Lee trademark all work wonderfully with this song.

		From 1969 to 1972 they performed in Toronto playing a brand of Cream-inspired material, honing their act on the local club and bar circuit.
		Rush's music by this point was typified by Lee's oddly high-pitched voice, a tremendously powerful guitar sound, especially in the early years, and a recurrent interest in science fiction and fantasy from the pen of Neil Peart.
		This approach reached its zenith in the band's 1976 concept album, 2112, based on the work of novelist/philosopher Ayn Rand, which had as its central theme the concept of individual freedom and will.

	Reviews of the studio albums
		To Rutsey or not to Rutsey, that is the question.
		John was no Neil, but this album does rock and, despite its obvious immaturity in places, it does hint at what was to come.
		Primarily a showcase for Alex's Jimmy Page-like licks, it is in Geddy's bass and the surprising softer passages where the future is foretold.

		Bull Rutsey, the head of the Canadian Gaming Association and top man in that country's $14-billion land gambling industry is not happy with the Internet gaming business, claiming it sucks $500 million a year out of the Canadian economy, which he would presumably prefer to see gambled in land-based ventures.
		Rutsey told delegates that Internet gambling represents the biggest threat to Canada's gambling industry: "Millions just disappear - the money is sucked right out of the economy," he claimed.
		Rutsey admits online gambling is difficult to stop, but says that land casinos are fighting back by providing more than a place to play cards and slot machines.

		Starting out as a bar band in 1968 Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and then drummer John Rutsey were perhaps the hardest working unsigned act of the day.
		Refusing to conform and play top 40 material, they were determined to play what they wanted to play, and on their own terms.
		2004 marks the bands 30th anniversary as a signed act, and with Neil Peart taking over for John Rutsey in 1974, the band stick to the morals of their early days and continue to write and record on their own terms.

		Rush was selling out on the basis of word-of-mouth in record stores, and sold so well as an import in the midwest that Chicago-based Mercury Records took notice and signed Rush to a long-term contract.
		Drummer John Rutsey left the band at this time to pursue other interests.
		The band's next album on Mercury, Fly By Night, featured an embellishment on the Zeppelin-inspired style, but the band's sound was much better structured due to the addition of drummer Neil Peart, who brought the precision and ensemble sense of a percussionist schooled in the art-rock forms of Pink Floyd and King Crimson.
