I love how chill Alex is. He doesn’t seem to have PTSD from when Ricky kidnapped him.

[chassegardee]

Alex Lifeson is a gift. He literally shines.

[rotsme]

Alex is truly one of a kind. His speech at the hall of fame induction was the greatest EVER!

[kylemundy]

Alex is one of Canada's most beloved sons. So humble, so funny and so talented. We're all proud of him

[burritosupreme]

I could listen to Alex talk for hours. He has such a calming presence.

“I didn’t trust anybody to make my mistakes for me” (Alex Lifeson) ❤️

[brucek]

I am one of MANY die hard Alex Lifeson fans .. His Creativity is 2nd to none !!

[mudwiser]

There's Rock Stars... then there's Alex Lifeson. A humble, gracious man of music. quick to take the focus off himself and let others shine. Cutting edge comedic ability that is equal to his musical ability. He has all the necessary goods to be a Rockstar... but he is so much more.

[horrorview]

Most underrated guitarist ever. It's hard to stand out in a band that featured the best bassist and drummer in the history of rock, but it was Lifeson's emotive solos and textural rhythms that made me want to be a guitarist. One of very few players whose leads give me goosebumps.

[ednaplate]

I’m in my 50s now and Alex has been with me every single day, musically speaking, since I was 14 years old. I love other bands but Rush is in my DNA. An absolute legend.

6:45 "I always wanted to be in control. I never trusted anybody to make my mistakes for me." - Alex Lifeson.

[rezner]

Such an incredible guitarist. He really is up there with the best.

[brianthompson]

Such a humble, soft-spoken guy despite having churned out original music for almost 50 years. 20+ albums of original music with Rush in addition to his solo stuff. What a gift to the music world!

[joesatchton]

Lee: I get it. This was an Epiphone arranged interview with the great Lerxst. But please - this was barely an appetizer. Please, PLEASE, after the whole promo period for the new awesome Epiphone Lifeson axe is over and Alex has more time to breathe, P L E A S E do your best to get a proper "The Captain Meets..." episode with Alex.

YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST....

[michaelgreer]

Such a genuine person and a true musical genius. So happy this interview happened. Cheers Captain.

[docsiltanen]

I met Alex at his bar in Toronto in the mid 90's... such a gentleman .. and one amazing musician !!!

[garthwick]

So much love for Alex and Rush. Next level musical geniuses and such lovely people to boot. Those three guys did something very special.

I only found Rush in January 2020. What a rollercoaster of emotions and experience the last year and a half has been. I've been playing guitar for about 12 years, just by myself at home playing along to songs. But I always try to improve and always get better. I'd hit a wall for the last couple of years and couldn't improve. Alex's guitar compositions literally breathed life into my guitar playing, I've improved probably two-fold and have not stopped playing Rush tunes all year. He's taught me new chord shapes, how to explore the neck more and the magic of open notes in harmony with the right chords.

Thank you for everything you've done for us Alex (and Geddy and Neil)

Fantastic CAPTAIN LEE👍 ALEX LIFESON, so incredibly talented and humble at the same time. Tremendous Guitar Master.

[rockhead]
