Rush (band)
Rush was a Canadian rock music, rock band formed in Toronto in 1968 that consisted primarily of Geddy Lee (vocals, bass, keyboards), Alex Lifeson (guitars) and Neil Peart (drums, percussion). The band's original line-up consisted of Lifeson, drummer John Rutsey, and bassist and vocalist Jeff Jones (bassist), Jeff Jones, whom Lee immediately replaced. After Lee joined, the band went through a few line-up changes before arriving at its classic power trio line-up with the addition of Peart in July 1974, who replaced Rutsey four months after the release of their Rush (Rush album), self-titled debut album; this line-up remained unchanged for the remainder of the band's career. Rush first achieved moderate success with their second album, ''Fly by Night (album), Fly by Night'' (1975). The commercial failure of their next album ''Caress of Steel'', released seven months after ''Fly by Night'', resulted in the band nearly getting dropped from their then-record label Mercury Records.

Before And After (Rush Song)
"Before"/"After", stylized on the sleeve's tracklisting as "Before" and "After", is a two-piece suite by Canadian rock band Rush. With John Rutsey as drummer, the suite was composed by bassist and lead vocalist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson and penned by Lee. It is the seventh track on the band's 1974 self-titled debut album, released by Moon Records. ''Thrillist'' ranked the suite the 35th best all-time Rush song in 2019, while ''Ultimate Classic Rock'' placed it 129th in 2018. Retrospective journalists described "Before" and "After"s song structure as an indicator of Rush's output following the first album, where Neil Peart was drummer and the prominent lyricist. "Before" is an acoustic guitar-driven folk instrumental ballad that gradually builds up then abruptly goes into "After". The second movement is a much more aggressive hard rock power ballad featuring the heavy metal boogie rock style and relationship subject matter of the album's other tracks. Background ...

Anthem Records
Anthem Records is an independent record label based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The company was formed in May 1977 by Ray Danniels and Vic Wilson with initial recording artists Rush, Max Webster, Liverpool and A Foot in Coldwater. The three members of Rush (Geddy Lee, Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson) became associate directors of Anthem. Background The label's predecessor was Moon Records. Anthem was formed so that Rush would have more control of their work at home in Canada (their international deal with Mercury Records initially included Canada), and so other Canadian bands would have a home, as they could not get signed by the major labels' offices in Toronto or Montreal. Anthem's sister company is SRO Management, also run by Danniels and Wilson, overseeing flagship act Rush and other bands, on and off Anthem. Lawrence Gowan had also recorded for the label before joining Styx in 1999. In November 2015, Anthem was acquired by Ole Media Management. In June 2019, Ole rebrand ...

Bad Boy (Larry Williams Song)
"Bad Boy" is a song written and recorded by American R&B musician Larry Williams. Specialty Records released it as a single in 1958, but it failed to reach the U.S. ''Billboard'' charts. However, music journalist Stephen Thomas Erlewine calls it one of Williams's "genuine rock & roll classics" and notes its popularity among 1960s British Invasion groups, such as the Beatles. Original song Williams was among the early rhythm and blues artists to adapt his style to the new rock and roll sound. The lyrics reflect a teenage sensibility: "He's a guy who causes trouble in the classroom, puts chewing gum in little girls' hair, and doesn't want to go to school to learn to read and write", according to critic Richie Unterberger. Musically, he calls it: Music writer Gene Sculatti compares it to Williams's earlier song "Dizzy, Miss Lizzy", but with backup vocals more like the Coasters "Charlie Brown" and the Everly Brothers " Bird Dog", both ''Billboard'' chart hits.

Fly By Night (album)
''Fly by Night'' is the second studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released on February 14, 1975, by Mercury Records. It was the first Rush album to showcase elements of progressive rock for which the band has become known. It was also the first to feature lyricist and drummer Neil Peart, who replaced original drummer John Rutsey the previous summer just prior to the band's first North American tour. Peart took over as Rush's primary lyricist, and the abundance of fantastical and philosophical themes in his compositions contrasted greatly with the simpler hard rock of the band's debut album. Background and recording In March 1974, the second Rush line-up, consisting of guitarist Alex Lifeson, drummer John Rutsey, and singer and bassist Geddy Lee, released their self-titled debut album. In the following four months, however, Rutsey fell ill following complications with diabetes and had to sit out while the group continued with a replacement, Jerry Fielding. Rutsey r ...

Bootleg Recording
A bootleg recording is an audio or video recording of a performance not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority. Making and distributing such recordings is known as ''bootlegging''. Recordings may be copied and traded among fans without financial exchange, but some bootleggers have sold recordings for profit, sometimes by adding professional-quality sound engineering and packaging to the raw material. Bootlegs usually consist of unreleased studio recordings, live performances or interviews without the quality control of official releases. Bootlegs reached new popularity with Bob Dylan's ''Great White Wonder'', a compilation of studio outtakes and demos released in 1969 using low-priority pressing plants. The following year, the Rolling Stones' ''Live'r Than You'll Ever Be'', an audience recording of a late 1969 show, received a positive review in ''Rolling Stone''. Subsequent bootlegs became more sophisticated in packaging, particularly the Trademark of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
