How old is the band rush?

Answer 1

The band's history goes back to 1968, but there were a number of personnel changes before it finally became what we know as today's incarnation of Rush. That incarnation goes back to about 1973. After playing at numerous bars and clubs, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and John Rutsey released an album on their own label, Moon Records, in 1974. It was sent to me (I was the music director at WMMS-FM in Cleveland), and in April-May 1974, Rush began to receive airplay on American radio. By that time, John Rutsey had to leave due to health issues, and Neil Peart joined the trio. Thus, Rush as the band we know today is more than forty years old.

Answer 2

There are 3 people (Alex, Neil, and Geddy) in the band; and as of 2014, they are still together and still performing.

Answer 3

The band Rush (Alex Lifeson, Geddy lee, Neil Peart) have released 178 songs in their career, also some early songs with John Rutsey on drums.
