The first show back. The wheel gives us “Bravado.” Of course it does. This week on Rush Rash , Chaz and Schatz return from Rush Quest 2026 with concert shirts, scrambled memories, and absolutely no intention of getting over any of it. MSG. Toronto. Three shows. And Chaz finally retiring the words “I’ve never seen Rush.” Joining the boys is Eric Hynes of Rush 101 , reporting from somewhere on the streets of Philadelphia—where an innocent interview becomes a nighttime expedition in search of Rush’s trucks, the perfect shot, and eventually, hopefully, a cheesesteak. Eric takes us from a paper route and the big blue owl on Fly by Night to a life spent chasing the music and capturing the people who love it. There’s his grandmother knitting at Rush shows, Alex’s increasingly lethal guitar-pick accuracy, Geddy’s space bass, and the fans whose once-in-a-lifetime moments make all those miles worthwhile. Then Chain Lightning turns Rush 101 into an actual school. Who’s running the place? Who’s blowing up the science lab? And what happens when somebody buys the channel for $47 billion? But the wheel has something else in mind. THIS WEEK'S SONG Bravado. The Roll the Bones classic brings the room—and one wandering correspondent—back to Neil. The tribute on the screen. Alex standing in the spotlight. The words that became a way of navigating life. Chaz, Schatz, and Eric talk risk, consequences, friendship, and what it means to find yourselves together again, hearing music you thought you’d never hear this way again. Somewhere between the bullshit and the goosebumps, even Eric goes quiet. Plus Schatz’s Scratch List , a little NASCAR announcer magic, and Corey Morrissette bringing the Boneless roll call. One cut at a time. A whole lot of life in between. Follow Eric at Rush 101 , scratch your live Rush itch with Schatz’s Scratch List , and find your next obsession at the Boneless Podcasting Network .

In another absolutely unnecessary but deeply essential installment of Rush Rash , Chaz and Schatz discover what happens when your scheduled guest fails to materialize...and all that implies. It's a shorter episode! Spend an hour and they've covered reunion tours, social media hysteria, Geddy Lee's birthday, Solar Federation, RushFest Canada, RushFest Scotland, RushCon, Yeti mugs that definitely should've had Rush logos on them, the possibility of a United Nations of Rush podcasts, and whether inviting Geddy to your birthday dinner technically counts if his people never call you back. THIS WEEK'S SONG Red Lenses from Grace Under Pressure —one of Rush's quirkiest, most divisive deep cuts. That opens the door to Peter Henderson's lone turn in the producer's chair, Terry Brown's celebrated remix, the sonic identity of Grace Under Pressure , and whether one of Rush's strangest songs deserves more love than history has given it. There are birthday plans. There are podcast conspiracies. There is at least one joke that should probably qualify as a Canadian dad joke. No bones. Just Rush.

In another absolutely unnecessary but deeply essential installment of Rush Rash , Chaz and Schatz return to the Boneless airwaves to tackle the latest chapter in Rush's ongoing tour saga. What begins as concern over Geddy Lee's bout with bronchitis quickly snowballs into discussions of border crossings, maple syrup smuggling operations (allegedly), canceled shows, the realities of life on the road, and why rock stars probably catch germs the same way kindergarten parents do. Along the way: Geddy's bronchitis forces the postponement of the Fort Worth shows, leaving fans—and ticket holders from around the world—wondering what comes next. (SPOILER: They just played their rescheduled shows!) The guys relive the infamous Mexico border delay and imagine what customs officials really thought was hidden inside those Rush road cases. Schatz finally dives into Ghost Rider , opening the door to a thoughtful conversation about Neil Peart's relationship with fans and why his books reveal more about the man than any meet-and-greet ever could. Chaz reflects on playing live after a mid-week gig, comparing life as a weekend warrior to the relentless grind of touring. The hosts debate whether performing is supposed to be fun... or simply the price professionals pay to deliver excellence every night. And yes... someone inevitably suggests that maple syrup might actually be contraband. Somewhere between discussing Neil's incredible dedication to his craft and wondering whether Dirk should be wearing a mask at meet-and-greets, the guys find themselves appreciating something Rush fans have always known: greatness isn't always glamorous, but professionalism never goes out of style. There are opinions. There are laughs. There is at least one completely unnecessary conversation about Canadian contraband. No bones. Just Rush.

The biggest week in the Rush universe in over a decade deserved something different... so we threw out the usual format and assembled an all-star panel. Chaz and Schatz are joined by our co-hostess with the mostest Jillian Maryonovich ( RushCon ) , Ed Toth (The Doobie Brothers) , Greg Russell (Mr. Peart's Friend, Drummer Natural Science , and Xcitelabs Director) , and John Patuto ( Cygnus-X1.net ) to unpack the first week of Rush's historic 2026 return to the stage. From first impressions of Anika Nilles behind the kit, to the emotional tributes to Neil Peart, the jaw-dropping setlists, and the overwhelming reaction from the Rush community, this is a candid fan conversation recorded while history is still unfolding. Was everyone skeptical going in? Absolutely. Did the first four shows change minds? You'll have to listen. This isn't a review—it's five lifelong Rush fans trying to process something many of us never thought we'd see again: Geddy and Alex back on stage, celebrating the music, honoring Neil, and reminding us why this band continues to mean so much. In This Episode The panel's honest reactions after opening week Why Anika Nilles may have the toughest job in rock music The emotional response from the Rush fan community Greg Russell discusses creating the video tribute to his friend Setlist surprises, deep cuts, and what they mean for the tour Why many longtime fans say they "felt safe loving Rush again" What the future of the tour could hold city by city Whether you've already seen the show or you're counting the days until your date, this episode captures the excitement, uncertainty, and joy of an unforgettable week in Rush history. #Rush #RushRash #GeddyLee #AlexLifeson #NeilPeart #AnnikaNilles #RushTour2026 #RushFans #ProgressiveRock #ClassicRock #RushCon SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDS Scratch your itch to hear RUSH music played live by going to check out any of these great RUSH Tribute Bands - these bands are keeping the community and the music alive - the most current, curated, and rockin' list of RUSH Tribute Bands in the world!

What did we spin? Was it something off Victor? How about My Effin Headache? Something off Burning for Buddy? Something off Anika's last solo record? Could it be Today Was Yesterday?

Part 2 finds Chaz and Schatz back in the Haggis Shack with Moving Pictures' Steve Brown , RUSHFest Canada's Paul Beaulieu, and Funding Neuro's David Mulligan as the conversation shifts from RushFest Scotland to the upcoming RushFest Canada at Toronto's legendary El Mocambo. The gang talks about the excitement surrounding Rush's upcoming tour, the future of RushFest on both sides of the Atlantic, and why the Rush community continues to thrive through live music, friendship, and a shared love of the band's legacy. Along the way, Steve gives an update on Songs for Neil, Paul previews what's in store for RushFest Canada, and David weighs in on everything from Rush beer to tribute bands. Naturally, things eventually derail into discussions about vinyl, guitar tones, Terry Brown, and the sort of audio nerd rabbit holes that only Rush fans can truly appreciate. Join us for tales of: RushFest Canada and the legendary El Mocambo The upcoming Rush tour and fan reactions Songs for Neil and preserving Rush's musical legacy Rush beer, vinyl records, and hi-fi obsession Why tribute bands matter more than ever THIS WEEK'S SONG: The Wheel lands on "Limbo" from Test for Echo, sparking a spirited debate about instrumentals, guitar solos, Monster Mash samples, and whether this deep cut deserves to live in the limelight or be wished well.

This week on Rush Rash, Chaz and Schatz welcome publisher, writer, community-builder, and lifelong Rush fan Deb Ross for a heartfelt and hilarious conversation about parenting, fandom, cultural literacy, and the power of Rush to connect generations. Deb shares the story of discovering Rush through Hold Your Fire in 1987, why “Marathon” and “Vital Signs” became life-guiding songs, and how Neil Peart’s lyrics helped shape both her career and her philosophy on raising kids. The gang dives deep into her viral article “Why You Should Take Your Kids to See the Rock Band Rush — and How to Prepare,” including “Take Your Daughter to Rush Day,” pre-concert educational binders, and the surreal moment Alex Lifeson personally emailed her after seeing her TV segment. The conversation also explores Rush fandom as a global community, the emotional impact of the upcoming tour, the authenticity of Geddy, Alex, and Neil, why live music matters more than ever in the age of AI and algorithms, and how Rush fans became the very people society once underestimated. Along the way: Martin from Argentina returns to the lore Chaz explains his concert parenting strategy: “If somebody falls in the parking lot, don’t make eye contact” Schatz defends real live music against fake internet nonsense Deb connects Rush fandom to sociology, parenting, and social capital Everybody gets emotional about Madison Square Garden and the passage of time It’s thoughtful, funny, deeply Rushian, and packed with the kind of humanity that makes this fan community unlike any other.

In another absolutely unnecessary but deeply essential installment of Rush Rash , Chaz and Shatz return to the Boneless airwaves for what begins as a routine wheel spin and quickly devolves into a gloriously ramshackle prog symposium involving airport sightings, tribute band diplomacy, chorus pedals, drum violence, and the mysterious cosmic intelligence known only as… The Wheel . Along the way: Chaz encounters Peyton Manning in the Denver airport… is he going to see Rush this fall in Denver??. Alex Lifeson’s new Analog Kid Double Chorus Pedal sends everyone spiraling into gear lust and riff worship. Getty Lee receives a gorgeous new custom Rickenbacker bass because apparently the universe still rewards cool people. The guys long for RUSHFest Scotland - this Weekend in Glasgow! And somehow, against all odds, the conversation keeps steering back toward Rush. Mostly. Then comes the spin. With only 67 songs left on the wheel, The Wheel delivers a sign: “Finding My Way.” The first track from the first Rush album. The very same song performed at the Junos. Coincidence? Statistical anomaly? Ancient Canadian prophecy? The hosts investigate with the scientific rigor of two men operating on coffee, enthusiasm, and questionable sleep schedules. From there, the episode turns unexpectedly heartfelt as the guys revisit the raw power of early Rush — John Rutsey’s explosive drumming, Alex’s wonderfully awkward opening riff, Getty sounding like a young man trying to punch through the ceiling of the universe, and the sheer joy of hearing a band discovering itself in real time. There are also sponsors. There is also shouting. No bones. Just Rush.

This week, Chaz and Schatz crack open the cosmic portal to Cygnus X-1 and welcome none other than John Patuto , the mastermind behind the legendary Rush fan hub Cygnus-X1.net —a site that’s been keeping Rush fandom alive longer than most of us have kept a pair of concert tees without holes. From humble beginnings in the dial-up bulletin board days (kids, ask your parents) to running a 45,000-member online community, John shares how a personal passion project turned into one of the most trusted and enduring Rush resources on the planet. The guys dig into: What it’s like moderating a massive fan community… and when you finally have to say “okay, everybody outta the pool” His thoughts on the polarizing Terry Brown remix of Grace Under Pressure The evolution of Rush fandom from underground to online chaos Things get real as John opens up about shutting down his Facebook group temporarily after fan backlash surrounding Rush’s return and the JUNOS Awards performance—proving that even in a fandom built on intellect and musicianship, things can get… spicy. It’s a deep dive into what it means to live Rush—not just listen to it. So grab your headphones, keep it civil, and remember: Whether you’re Team Original Mix or Team Remix… don’t be the guy flipping the table in the comments section.

This week, the Rush Rash train pulls into a very specific station: the official 420 Council Session . And wouldn’t you know it — after spinning the wheel for what feels like decades, we’ve finally landed on “A Passage to Bangkok” from 2112 . Joining the council in the club car: Malcolm McKinnon – High Times legend, strain sommelier, and walking encyclopedia of global cannabis lore Daniel Bukszpan – Rush historian, author, and certified mapmaker of the band’s musical universe What goes down in this smoke-filled session: The real origin story of 420 (yes, the Waldos make an appearance) A lyrical world tour: Colombia, Jamaica, Morocco, Thailand… and what was actually being passed around The myth, magic, and mild danger of strains like Acapulco Gold, Afghani, and Thai stick Why recording music while high might turn into “take 50” Rush’s unexpected connection to global cannabis culture And a hidden moment in the track that will make you never hear it the same way again 👀 Council Topics Include: Hash vs flower debates that get… philosophical Old-school vs dispensary-era weed culture Stories from the High Times vault that may or may not be safe for air travel Why Rush fans in South America are basically a soccer riot (but joyful) THIS WEEKS SONG “A Passage to Bangkok” – a riff-driven, tongue-in-cheek travelogue that somehow became a cornerstone of 420 culture worldwide.

Grace Under Pressure…Under a Microscope. This week, Chaz and Schatz throw the format out the window like a busted cassette deck and go full album-mode on Grace Under Pressure —but not just any version. Oh no. We’re diving headfirst into the 2026 Super Deluxe Edition featuring the long-awaited Terry Brown mix …and folks, things get spicy. Schatz rolls in looking like he lost a fight with a pollen storm, but don’t worry—our clinicians have prescribed a heavy dose of sonic therapy. Instead of spinning the wheel, the boys go track-by-track comparing the original mix vs. the remaster vs. Terry Brown’s fresh take… and let’s just say: one of these things is not like the others. From the opening blast of “Distant Early Warning” to the brooding thunder of “Between the Wheels,” Chaz and Schatz hear things they’ve NEVER heard before—buried guitars, resurrected drums, and (yikes!) effin keyboards that finally step out of the fog too. Is this the mix that finally gives Neil Peart his full chest-thumping glory back? Did Geddy Lee’s keys get unfairly accused all these years? And did Alex Lifeson just sneak back into the spotlight like a six-string ninja? Also discussed: Why the original mix now sounds like “AM radio Rush Lite” The great ‘80s production arms race (looking at you, Yes and Genesis) Electronic drums vs. acoustic punch (and where things got… weird) Whether Terry Brown just gave this album its “balls back” (their words, not ours… okay, also ours) By the end, one thing is clear: this isn’t just a remix—it’s a revelation. Bottom line: If you thought you knew Grace Under Pressure , think again. Play along at home: Queue up your versions and A/B this beast with us… just be prepared to question everything you thought you heard before!
