“BEYOND BORDERS”
lex Lifeson, Ed Stone,
Liona poyds and Rik
Emmett all took part in a
productive project
entitled "Beyond Borders"
Initially, it was a conceptual
idea of Rik Emmett's (of another
famed Canadian trio "Triumph". )
This project was a non-
commercial one, so it greatly
appealed to Alex, Liona, and
Ed. It was all done out of thei
love of music and guitar playing
specifically. The final resul
was a six minute guitar
instrumental piece with four
completely different playing
styles evident. This extremely
experimental song was released
as a “soundpage" in the "Guita
Player" magazin
When it was in the conceptual
stage Rik and Alex traded their
ideas on cassette tapes through
the mail. Soon, they all entered
the studio and set to work. |
was completed quite quickly bu
the end result is an expressive
wholesome composition.
The song itself is a very
moody piece revolving around
four opposite styles merged into
one. flowing song. Alex’
prosence is very obvious and he
did an exeptional solo in the
beginning of the song. Overall
it's a nice piece that shows a
great deal of creativity by
every musician that took part in
this respectable project.
Alex Lifeson:
Quotes On The
Canadian Guitar
Summit
hen you work in a
band like Rik and I do,
you get used to playing
in a certain way and
having a certain attitude
toward writing and performing.
But when you do something like
this with other musicians--
especially the ones who
representa broad musical scope-
--it gives you alot of freedom
to do other things. For
instance, here I approached my
role from an atmospheric
standpoint, and I tried to tie
things together and do things
that I normally wouldn't
do on a Rush record. For .
“Beyond Borders” everybody
basically had their parts
worked out and know what they
were going to do, but because
it was in a studio arena, it
had a whole different perspec-
tive to it. The work was a
little more precise, so things
took longer. Since we were
working on vinyl, we wanted to
make sure it was done right. It
was fun and very satisfying
and Liona also contribute
alot of transition points and
segues, in addition to the
places where they were featur
ed. The little bits that come
in and out add alot to the flow
and work nicely, especially for
something that was done inbasically a couple of days.
“After spending the day
here in February when I
recorded my guitar solo, 1
was reminded that I really
love playing the guitar. When
you do it all of the time,
sometimes you forget that.
when you perform in a concert
hall, it becomes a job, you
lose something. Playing the
guitar is a wonderful
feeling; it's a great
expression!"
"Rush would never work
without a click track. As
soon as you get into the
drum machines and syncing up
quencers, 1's essential
that you use one. Now we
rely heavily on keyboards an
sequencing. You can sync up
five or six different
sequences on different
keyboards and have a
fantastic atmosphere adn
sound texture. My part in
Rush ends up being more of
a stricter guitar part,
instead of an instrumental
thing. That's fine and it
satisfies me in that context
When I got involved with this
project, everything was jus
about finished, which enabled
me to sit back and put my
feet up and play whatever
I wanted."
"In con
rhythm is a function more of
feel.. You immediately start
tapping your foot, because
the music has a certain tlow
to it. One of the great
things is that we didn’
a dcummer or a rhythm
section. [t's strictly
guitarists and.nothing else,
so we had the freedom to do
whatever we wanted.”

guitar; when you perform
in a concert hall,
sometimes you forget that.”

Alex: That's right.
Kevin: Now, the album is
entitled ‘Hold Your Fire
Alex: Yes, that's right.
Kevin: How long did it take you
to record this album?
Alex: It took us about six
months, but only four months
actunl recording. We started
recording in January and
finished in mid June. We did it
in five different studios, a
couple of studios here, the
Manor and Farmridge in South
England, then we went to
beautiful Montserrat with

which is always a bit,
of a treat. We she

Prepared as much as possible
before going into the studio.
Studio's are very expensive
places to start experimenting
and writing songs, we have done
that in the past, and the
pressure's too great and it's
always much better to be
organized.
Kevin: One thing that you did
surprise me slightly is that you
went into the studio pretty
quickly after the release of
‘Power Windows’. There wasn't
that long between the release of
the album and you were back in
the studio again.
Alex: Well, the album was
“-'eased about two years ago
(Power Windows). We went on tour
sometime in November and the
tour finished in May the
following year (1986) and then
we look that summer off. We
started in September, so we
started writing this album about
a year after the release of
Power Windows which for us is
just about right. That gives us
a release of about eighteen
months.
Kevin: So with taking a break,
you managed to get out of the
grind of a tour then back in the
studio again for an album, then
back out on tour again.
Alex: Yes we like to Lake that
break, it clears our heads a
bit, after a tour obviously,
because it's so long and
grinding and rather stressful
although we did take it a little
bit easier on this last tour, it
clears our heads so we can
approach a new record with more
energy.
Kevin: I've heard the new album,
and it does seem to me, to be
more of an up tempo record
more than Power Windows.
There seemed to be more
faster, rockier songs on this
album than on the last one.
Was that a deliberate thing
you set out to do or was that
just the way the material
came out?
Alex: Not really, it was just
the way the material came
out. We happened to be in
that kind of mood. I think we
were fired up, we were very
energetic during the writing
of this record and also very
positive. | think it shows on
the record, certainly in the
way the songs were written,
as well as the songs
themselves. They do tend to
be a little more high energy
than a few of the records in
the past, much more than
Power Windows.
Kevin: One thing I have
noticed on the new album is
as far as you are personally
concerned is that your guitar
playing on say maybe the last
three albums has been
slightly understated where
on the new album the guitar
solo's are sort of in the old
wold of Alex Lifeson guitar
playing.
‘Alex: Possibly, with my
guitar playing I think I
qould rather do something
that is a little understated,
1 prefer to be in the
background in the course of a
song and perhaps get more
value from less playing, so
that it becomes more an
Instrument or the whole
rather than a singular thing
Standing out on it's own.
With solos, solos are a very
fun thing for me to do. They
come rather quickly and it's
very spontaneous for me to
do.

This was the first tour

This recording was
on the fourth and final night at
the Chicago Ampetheatre in 1981.
This show consists of a wide
array of tunes from over the
years and complies into what I
believe to be one of their all-
time best set lists. Some of the
highlights of the concert are:
Hemispheres: Prelude, The Camera
ye, and Working Man. The entire
rarity of this recording is
based on one two minute segment
at the very end of the show
after all the encores that were
schedules were over. Alex, being
the appreciative guy he is,
steps out into the limelight and
straps into the acoustic guitar
and plays a song that "has never
been recorded and you can't buy
it anywhere, it's just for those
who came tonight." Well, sorry
to spoil the occasion Alex, but
this selection is worthy of
recognition everywhere, not just
in Chicago. The tune he plays is
unbelievable. It has a country
sound to it and a rock feel. The
power and mood pushing this song

This album, "2112", was
their fourth voyage into the
studio and the outlook was
dim. These recording sessions
were to produce hopefully an
album of vengence for RUSH.
Dejected by the dismal sales
of their third LP "Caress Of
Steel", they were looking for
an album that would shake the
ail the way into 2112. Sure
enough, Rush did just that.
After surviving the “Down
Tubes Tour", RUSH wondered
The

album even to the present.
The swirling winds of change
begin the dawn of the album with
the side-long, science-fiction
epic 2112. Orchestrated very
similarly to Tenaikovsky's 1812
Overture, 2112 demonstrates the
melodic diversity in the music
RUSH creates. Ayn Rand is
responsible for most of the
lyrical influence on this album.
The story told in the song isabout a man who finds a
glorious discovery; a guitar.
But, when he reveals it to the
Priests", he is condemned for
his discovery. The guitar is
destroyed simply because of
the fact that it wasn't normal
culture. He is oppressed by
his society and his discovery
was forgotten.

Lyrics by Neil Peart
A RE
Analysis
imelight is a very appropriate title
for a song Neil wrote about coming
in torms with life “on a lighted
stage." In less modern timos,
limelight was literally that ~ a
brilliant light created by the oxidation
of lime and used in theaters to throw an
intense beam off light upon a particular
actor. Hollywood with all it's glamour
gave the term new meaning when it
created entertainers and movie stars
whom the public adored and worshipped.
Rock and Roll promoters then picked up
this hype and created their own
demigods.
Because these industries created
superstars, the public has come to
expect more than just performance from
the players. White the entertainer may
be expected to pander their audience,
it's not fair to expect this from the
actor or musician, yet people continue
to expect the player to play the role of
a star. The role is supposed to go
something like this:
First, the star is somehow better
everyone else. He or she is not only
supposed to perform, but there is also
the additional duty of making people
reevaluate their lives. The star is
supposed to smile warmly for the camera
on each and every occasion. They're
supposed to enjoy being famous. In
writing Limelight, Neil takes exception
to this
What it is then, that's so terrible
about being a star? "Caught in the
cmaera eye" clues one into realizing the
terrible invasion of privacy the
performer must suffer through. Those of
us "who wish to seem" can't possibly
know what it is like to have little or
no privacy. When people seek to know
everything about a star and pry into
thanthelr personal Life, they
create the alienation Neil must
“put aside.
"1 can't pretend a stranger
is a long awaited friend" ciues
one into realizing that Neil
cannot accept the role of "Oh.
it's nice to moet you. Yes, of
course, I'll pose for a
picture. Yes, it's great
famous."
One should not conclude
this song that Neil is
unfriendly. When he can meet
people on equal terms, I'm sure
he is as nice as the next
person. But by being “cast in
this unlikely role" and all
unfair trappings of the arra of
the star, he has to "put up
barriers." A lot of people may
not understand that. I'd
suggest they listen to
