Rush frontman Geddy Lee was asked if any bands are asking the Rush singer to produce them in a recent interview with Bass Guitar Magazine. Lee states that he doesn’t have the patience to just sit there and do a job like that and equates the job description to that of a ‘studio rat’, saying that his Rush bandmate, Alex Lifeson has a far better temperament for it than he does. As Lee states himself, he told the magazine the following. This Rush singer revealed why Neil Peart forced retirement.
“I haven’t been talking to people about production in a long time since I started producing in the 80s – a couple of small productions. You know, I don’t have the patience to sit there and do that for somebody else, because it’s so hard, it’s such a tough job. You have to really love being in a studio. You have to really wanna be a studio rat. Alex [Lifeson] has a much better temperament for that than me.”
Rush fans discussed their favorite and least Rush albums as well as songs in a recent topic on the group’s subreddit. Geddy Lee announced this horrible Rush health scare recently.

Least Favorite Album – Snakes and Arrows. I don’t dislike it, but its definitely my last choice. Favorite Song – Natural Science. It’s such a nice sonata form song that really resonates with me, and it’s message rings true even today. Least Favorite – Test for Echo. I’ve just… Idk, the melody irritates me on a visceral level.”
A Rush member was caught smoking this terrible drug. Apokylips put” Favorite Album: Grace under Pressure (due to nostalgia) Least Favorite: Vapour Trails (which I have listened to dozens of times so I don’t hate it obviously). Favorite Song: Territories invades my mind most often. The lyrics are so prescient. Least Favorite: Super Conductor (which I still would not skip to next)
