Lifeson is still going along with Rush, they just released a new album.
Sure, but he's been pretty terrible for the last 30 years or so (just like the other three Zombies). Lifeson was freaking amazing on the first few Rush albums, and then he started sounding like synthesized diarrhea in the 80's.

Totally agree with that... I did love Power Windows from that period though.

Edit: just given this latest album a listen on youtube and even the drums are starting to sound like the Rush of old again :D

Sorry, gotta disagree with ya. There were some bad albums but Rush has been steadily improving since Counterparts came out.
