UPDATE - 8/23@5:19PM: As of right now it looks like the interview segments are no longer available. :(

UPDATE - 8/22@9:43AM: Through some clever url manipulation reader Ryan located part 2 of the interview at this location.

Way back in early April radio personality and VH1 Classic VJ Eddie Trunk put the following post on his blog:

4/5/07: Had the honor to once again spend the day with Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of Rush at the Atlantic Records office in NYC. I shot a 45 minute TV interview with the guys (shot in HD) for future use. ... the band and label hired me directly to film an interview that they own and will use to air in several places and ways to promote the new CD. Not sure yet where it will show up, but I'll let you know when they tell me. ...

Well it looks like that footage is finally starting to see the light of day (about time!). Atlantic just sent out an email with a link to the first portion of this interview to those folks who purchased the Snakes & Arrows MVI and registered online. You can check out the interview at this link. Unfortunatley the interview is now so old that it really doesn't shed any new light on anything and it's not anything we haven't already heard many times before. Either way, it's always fun to watch Eddie fawn over Geddy and Alex. Many thanks to everybody who emailed me about this.
