Alex Lifeson Brings Humor to Rush’s Montreal Show

In a delightful moment during Rush’s recent performance in Montreal on September 4, guitarist Alex Lifeson showcased his playful side, making the audience roar with laughter. The band, now featuring new drummer Anika Nilles, has been embracing a lighter atmosphere as they continue their comeback after an 11-year hiatus.

As Lifeson prepared to launch into the classic track “Limelight,” he took a humorous jab at his bandmates. After expressing his fondness for Montreal, he turned to bassist Geddy Lee and quipped, “I think I’d like to… can I start the song now?” Lee’s cheeky response of “You’re the boss!” prompted Lifeson to playfully declare, “I’m the boss! Ah, you’re fired, everybody!”

This light-hearted banter is a testament to the band’s renewed energy and camaraderie. Lifeson’s antics not only entertain but also highlight the band’s evolution since their earlier days, when humor often took a backseat. As Geddy Lee reflected, they’ve embraced a new philosophy of authenticity and fun since their return.
