Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson has revealed that he's been playing songs from the band's back catalogue with frontman Geddy Lee. In a new interview with Rolling Stone [paywalled link], Lifeson details his recent health battles, and reveals that while he's enjoying the experience of performing the songs in private, there are no plans for the duo to take them on the road.
"It’s funny because we sound like a really bad tribute band for the first three or four run-throughs on these things," says Lifeson. "It’s 'Oh, my God, what did I play there? Why did I play that so hard?' And then muscle memory kicks in, and we’re having a ball doing it. It’s good for the fingers. We’re together in a room like we’ve always been.
