At The Same Time, I've Never Been

I Was Very Pleased When Prs Presented Me With My Se Angelus Acoustic, A Beautiful Guitar Of Stunning Quality. It Was In Response To The Challenge Of Building A Guitar That Shared The Integrity And Attention To Detail That The Alex Lifeson Private Stock Angelus Possesses In A Package More Broadly Accessible. The Se Alex Lifeson Thinline Is That Model. Carefully Selected Materials, Expert Craftsmanship And A Smart Approach To Concept Resulted In A Guitar That Is Beautiful To Look At And Rewarding To Play.

I Think That's Given Inspiration To Other Musicians. I Know, Particularly Through The 90s, A Lot Of Bands Would Cite Rush As An Influence. I Don't Think It Was So Much Our Music, But More The Way We Really Stuck To Our Guns.

When I Look Out At The Audience At Some Of Our Shows, I Think We Are Reaching A Younger Audience... I See Lots Of People In Their 30s And 40s, But I Also See A Lot Of People In Their Young And Middle Teens, And Thats Definitely Reassuring.
