RUSH guitarist Alex Lifeson spoke to Cassandra Szklarski of the Canadian Press about the the time-honoured custom of playing encores at concerts.

"Certainly, on our level, it's to be expected," Lifeson says of RUSH encores, noting there's little variation among them, despite the group's vast catalogue of songs.

"It's the same thing every night. You know, we anticipate the encore, so it's just really it's just an opportunity for us to come out and play a few more songs."

The 53-year-old performer says that an old gem has been chosen for the encore on RUSH's upcoming world tour, but he wouldn't say which one.

Encores certainly meant something different when the stadium rockers first started out, says Lifeson.

"When we were a young band playing clubs and opening acts and we would get an encore it was really special," Lifeson recalls. "You were thrilled to get one and hoped that the headliner would allow you to do it."

what songs/record should i check out if i've never heard anything from them?

"Roll the Bones" is perhaps my favorite album, but - as a mild Rush fan only - it gets not better than the live version of "Subdivisions" from "A Show of Hands..."

[Malcolm]

RUSH fan site RushIsABand.com has posted an audio interview with RUSH guitarist Alex Lifeson, conducted earlier today (Wednesday, May 30) by Mark Jeeves of the U.K. digital radio station Planet Rock. In the interview Alex mentions that RUSH will play nine songs from "Snakes & Arrows" on its upcoming tour and that "Workin' Them Angels" is his current favorite.

RUSH has selected "The Larger Bowl" as the second single from its latest CD, "Snakes & Arrows".

[Thorned Rose]

I got this album and even though the single is great, I wasn't all that impressed.

Working them Angels is awesome, but as a whole it isn't that good. I only enjoyed 4 or 5 songs.

According to a posting on the RUSH fan site RushIsABand.com, the Canadian rock power trio will play several indoor dates in the U.S. and Canada in the spring of 2008. This leg will kick off with a two- or three-night stand at the Etess Arena at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City sometime in March. The band will then move up The East Coast to Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and Atlantic Canada to wrap up the first set of dates before heading south for a handful of shows in late March through early April which will include New Orleans, New Mexico, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Mississippi.
