After two years of promises, it finally happened — the mighty Rush Archives join Chaz and Schatz in the Haggis Shack! Colorado’s premier Rush tribute trio — Steve Clark (Geddy), Ferando Escobar (Alex), and Ron Straley (Neil) — finally sit down to talk all things Rush, from 2112 to Clockwork Angels.

They break down:

🎸 The band’s gateway Rush moments — Spirit of Radio, 2112, The Camera Eye

🥁 How Steve learned bass, keys, and foot pedals in six months (because...Geddy Lee)

📸 Legendary photographer Bill O’Leary still shooting film — with the same camera he used on Rush themselves

🤘 The impact of Rush’s return with Anika Nilles behind the kit

💸 Ticket prices, tribute scene realities, and what keeps the Archives authentic

And then — it’s time to spin the wheel…the mischievous wheel gives us the lead track to the Rush 2.0 era, “Anthem.”

The guys break down why that track still hits like a musical thunderclap — from Alex’s surgical riffing to Neil’s impossible syncopation — and why it remains a rallying cry for every working man.
