‘2112’: the Rush album Geddy Lee was convinced would be their lastThere are no guarantees for a band like Rush in rock history. Although the Canadian icons always had their devoted fanbase to support them, that didn’t mean things didn’t look dire every now and again when they first started. But before they even became one of the biggest names in prog, their beginnings were far from the likes of Yes or Genesis. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson always wanted to be in a band, but listening to their first album, it’s clear that they were getting a lot of their cues from bands like Led Zeppelin. I think we were proud that it was a good record, and we were going out on a good record.
