Last month, YouTuber Rick Beato teased an upcoming appearance with Rush on his popular YouTube show by posting a photo of himself with Geddy and Alex to Instagram with the caption, Just had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Geddy and Alex from Rush. Now almost a month later, Beato has finally dropped the hour-long interview, billing it as The Geddy Lee Interview, although Lerxst crashes the party at one point. From the YouTube description:

In this interview, I finally get the chance to sit down with Rush frontman and legendary bassist Geddy Lee. We talk about some of my favorite songs from Rush's prolific catalog, his ever-evolving bass sound and going on tour for the first time in over a decade. Keep watching and you might catch the hilarious moment when Alex Lifeson crashes the interview.

You can check it out below or on YouTube. Thanks to my little bro Matt for the heads up.
