Rush Rash with Chaz N Schatz

This week, the Haggis Shack welcomes back Rob Silverberg of Midwest RushFest , along with first-time guest Chris Schneberger , for a gathering of Rush obsessives who've spent an extraordinary amount of time, money, and gasoline following three Canadians around the planet. And now, apparently, they're doing it all over again. Rob and Schatz have just returned from Cleveland, where Rush'...

The wheel sends us back to 1985 for Platinum Blonde’s “Crying Over You” — featuring a guest solo from Lerxst himself. It hit #1 in Canada. It came from an album called Alien Shores . And about three seconds into Alex’s solo, Chaz hears something VERY familiar. Did Alex Lifeson just “Beat It”? Chaz hears Eddie Van Halen. Schatz calls bullshit. The actual “Beat It” gets dragged into evidence, the gu...

What did we spin? Was it something off Victor? How about My Effin Headache? Something off Burning for Buddy? Something off Anika's last solo record? Could it be Today Was Yesterday?

In another absolutely unnecessary but deeply essential installment of  Rush Rash , Chaz and Shatz return to the Boneless airwaves for what begins as a routine wheel spin and quickly devolves into a gloriously ramshackle prog symposium involving airport sightings, tribute band diplomacy, chorus pedals, drum violence, and the mysterious cosmic intelligence known only as…  The Wheel . Along...
