movie review rush beyond the lighted stage.
i love rush. i love documenterys. so a rush doc would be the sweetest thing ever. but just how sweet? way more sweet than i could have ever imagined. things i learned... rush has like 20 some albums out. geedy lee's a jew, and his parents are holocost survivors. super late in his carreer as a drummer neal pert changed his drumming technique as well as the way he held his sticks. i also learned that geddy and the gitar player have been best friends since elementry school...... i also remebered what i didnt like about rush.... the 1980's... after moving pictures the band started to suck ass.but in the later 90's they actually picked it up. and then neal pert's daughter and wife died. and he just left... not quit the band, he just got on his motorcycle and rode. sending postcards along the way. wwhen he came back they made an album and toured again. as if nuthing had ever changed... pretty sweet. also the end of the movie has all three mebers sittin around a table drinkin wine and acting goofy as hell. like its the first time they have ever gotten drunk. kinda like steve brule drinkin sweet berry wine. and they also have a bunch of other musicians talkin about why they love rush. trent reznor and billy corgan are both surpriseingly normal nice "dudes" in this doc. 5 outta 5.

i never really liked rush at all, and always thought geddy lee was kind of a homo (he has girl hair!) but i used to own a geddy lee signature jazz bass and it was quite the axe!
