I Really Consider Myself More

We've Managed To Have A Long Career That Is Still Quite Vibrant, Yet We've Never Had To Kow-tow To Record Companies Who Said We Weren't Commercial Enough.

Pete Townsend For Me Was A Huge Influence. Because Essentially They Were A Three-piece Band And The Way He Structured His Chords And Took Up A Lot Of Space Musically In The Songs Was Really Important To The Way Rush Developed. Geddy And Neil Both Were Such Active Players And Lot Of The Time We Were All Playing Like Crazy And It Was Too Much And Somebody Had To Reel It In And Me Being The Faceless Guy, I Would Do That.

I Really Consider Myself More Of A Rhythm Guitarist Than A Soloist.

Both Neil And I Had Done Solo Projects Where We Were The Boss And I Just Thought That If He Was Willing To Get Into It, It Would Really Be A Good Experience For Him.

I'm Not That Fluid When It Comes To Scales And Modes. I Just Pick Up The Guitar And Play. It's All About Exploration: Just Tune The Guitar Any Way You Want And Start Playing.
