Rush strikes a chord with its hard-core fans By JOEY GUERRA Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle Sept. 21, 2010, 4:41PM Alex Lifeson, from left, Neil Peart, and Geddy Lee are members of iconic rock band Rush Rush is many things to many people. Musical storytellers. Prog-rock gods. Geddy Lee, Neil Peart and that other guy. Whatever you dub the configuration, Rush has maintained (even built on) its status as a fierce concert draw. And the Canadian trio has earned a diverse palette of fans from some unlikely places: Adrian Rodriquez, guitarist for Tejano singer Shelly Lares: "I became a huge Rush fan around 1977 after hearing 2112. My older brother turned me on to that album, and their style of music and lyrics seemed very sophisticated to me at the time. One of the many things that caught my attention was Geddy Lee's high-pitched voice. I thought he sounded like a girl, but I loved everything about the music and how some songs were arranged in movements. I learned guitar, bass, keyboards and drums playing along to their records. As a musician/producer, they taught me to be a perfectionist. Many Tejano musicians/producers that I've worked with — Shelly Lares, Gilbert Velasquez, Las 3 Divas — have that same desire for perfection." more
