In the past few days a few users over at the Counterparts messageboard have been uploading and sharing some old Rush article scans from various fan magazines. So I thought I'd share them all here as well.
First up we have several Rush album magazine ads from Counterparts user GeddyLeeGenes:
GeddyLeeGenes also made this old Archives article available as well. It's by David Fricke and looks to be from around mid-1978 when Archives was released. I think Fricke wrote for Circus magazine around that time so it might be from that publication - not sure though. It's a short article that includes interview snippets from Geddy Lee, Donna Halper and manager Ray Daniels.
Counterparts member baldiepete made this 1982 article from Kerrang! magazine available. It contains an interview with Alex and Geddy conducted during the Signals tour.
[Rush Sounds Magazine - January, 1983]
Next up is a 48-page issue of Sounds Fan Library magazine from January, 1983 dedicated to Rush. It has a ton of great photos in it along with interview segments and biographical info. The article was written by Steve Gett and the text would reappear in an expanded form a year later in his book Success Under Pressure (thanks to Power Windows for the info). This is definitely something any Rush fan would want to check out if you haven't before. You can download/view it as a PDF at the link above. Many thanks to Counterparts member tst4eko for taking the time to scan this and make it available.
This next item (also from tst4eko) is a 12-page biographical article on Rush from a 1989 issue of Metal Hammer magazine. The article is chock full of great photos. You can download/view it at the link above.
Counterparts member baldiepete also made this 1990 article from Kerrang! magazine available. It contains an interview with the band conducted at the kickoff of the Presto tour.
[Rush Guitar Legends 2007 (PDF 26MB)]
And last but definitely not least is the 46-page Guitar World magazine special Legends edition featuring Rush which was released back in December of 2007. You can download/view it as a PDF at the link above. Many thanks to Counterparts member tst4eko for taking the time to scan this and make it available.
Whew... This stuff should keep you occupied for a while.
