Rush (band)

Geddy Lee (Gary Lee Weinrib) was born and raised Jewish. However, by his own account, he is not religious; his beliefs are closer to Humanism. He likes Jewish food and Jewish culture, but his wife is more observant of holidays and rituals than he is.

This is an answer I found by a user name theDanishCookies:

Of course. Most bands dabble in drugs at one point or another. None of them made habits of it or got addicted. They weren't like Guns N' Roses or any of those bands you hear of with hardcore abuse and problems. Freddie Mercury snorted cocaine a little bit. His lover Jim Hutton said that he did it "recreationally and not that much"

Brian May on the other hand never touched any drugs. He was quite a saint. As a matter of fact he was afraid of taking aspirin.

Roger Taylor wasn't much of a drug user either and has admitted to smoking marijuana a few times and not liking it. He admitted to drinking vodka before concerts to cope with the nerves.

Not much is known on John Deacon. But he drank a bit too. And who didn't?

Overall, Queen weren't the biggest drug users. Not at all really. It was just Freddie that was just a little wild.

Rush have won numerous awards and honors. In Canada, they have been given a number of Juno Awards and were inducted in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994. They were also given the Order of Canada in 1996. In the US, they were nominated for seven Grammy Awards, they received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. They have also earned more than twenty Gold albums (for world-wide album sales). I enclose a link to the long list of awards the band and its individual members have won.

Probably not. Neil Peart was raised in a Christian home, but as time went by, he moved away from organized religion. He has said he is a libertarian politically, but he has not claimed that he believes in Christianity, nor that he follows any other religion.

Geddy is best known for his guest vocals on the 1981 hit song "Take Off" by Bob and Doug McKenzie (actually Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas). In 1985, he participated in the Canadian session to raise money for poverty in Africa, recording guest vocals on "Tears Are Not Enough." He has also performed music for the comedy film "Trailer Park Boys," and performed on at least one Max Webster song.

The song 'Serenity' was released by Godsmack in 2003. It was about Neil Peart from Rush and what he did when he lost his wife and daughter. They are a heavy metal band from Lawrence in Massachusetts.

Yes, although it is not front and center in his life the way music is. While Alex may not be known for reading (the way Neil is), he makes it a point to keep up with current issues. Alex is not a political activist, but he does follow certain news stories, and I have found him to be a good conversationalist, whether the topic is music, current events, philosophy, or politics.

No, they do not. In fact, none of the members of the band ever went to college. And while Neil Peart has been jokingly called "The Professor," it is an affectionate title referring to his love of reading and his knowledge of philosophy, literature, comparative religions and cultures, etc.

because geddy lee(the bassist) uses house sound and he does not use amps and he dident want a bunch of empty space on the stage

No, contrary to some online myths, there is NO evidence the band's name has anything to do with drugs. They chose their name years before there were party drugs named "rush," and they have used the same name since 1968. It actually referred to being in a hurry trying to find the right players for the band back in their formative years.

Limelight - slappin' the bass!

Alex Lifeson and his wife Charlene have two sons. Their names are Justin and Adrian.

BTR(Big Time Rush) is 4 years a band.

RUSH all day long!

Three amazing musicians that are unbeatable.

Green Day. (In my opinion).

Justin Valdivia first began playing the bass for the Canadian power trio RUSH in his bedroom at the softly and tenderly age of 14

Because he is the most rippin' drummer in the world! Best drummer of this generation at least! Rush is really famous as well as neil

No. He had a daughter Selena with his common-law wife, but his daughter died in a car accident; his wife also died (of cancer). Neil later remarried, and he has one daughter (Olivia) with his current wife.

No, Geddy is known for playing bass and keyboards. But there have been times he did try to play drums... although he is perfectly happy to leave that job to Neil Peart.

He played his 5 string on Lock and Key. Period. I cannot remember where but I read in an interview with Geddy that Lock and Key was the 1 time he has used a 5 string. Counterparts was the jazz run through his Wal D.I setup into an old ampeg amp from the 70's that he used for his rick around fly by night era. He did disguise his jazz as a wal fairly well on that album though. Thus causing ALOT of confusion

No, the members of the band are all from Ontario: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson came from the Willowdale neighborhood of Toronto, as did original drummer John Rutsey. Neil Peart, who replaced Rutsey, came from what was then called Port Dalhousie.

They are linked because Neil Peart was at one time inspired by Ayn Rand's books and he agreed with her philosophy. Many of Rush's songs from that period of time in the mid-1970s to mid-1980s had a Randian influence. However, as Neil has pointed out many times, he long ago moved away from Ayn Rand's philosophy and his writing over the years has had many other influences.

The rock band called Rush was created in Canada. They have released songs such as Tom Sawyer, Far Cry, Secret Crush, Resist, Driven, and Double Agent.

Mega Man is Rock Man in Japan. Rock and Roll are friends, Bass is his rival, Blues is his bird, and Rock needs Rush to help him survive. Don't let Rock die!

From what I know, Neil is around $22 mil while Geddy and Alex are both around $28 mil
