Musician/producer Rick Beato's popular YouTube channel posted an hour-long interview with Rush's Geddy Lee last week, which Beato had teased a month earlier. Alex Lifeson crashed Geddy's interview towards the end, and then Beato interviewed Alex solo. That interview was published earlier today and is now available for watching. Alex continues on many of the subjects touched on in Geddy's interview, giving his own take on Rush's upcoming Fifty Something tour and Rush's legacy, along with a lot of gear talk. You can watch the entire interview below or via YouTube. From the video description:
