    • Trivia
      Billy Corgan (of Smashing Pumpkins), who was interviewed for this documentary, has admitted to stealing a riff from Rush's "By-Tor & The Snow Dog".
    • Goofs
      It is stated that two men showed up at Neil's fathers place in a white corvette to take Neil to lunch and ask him to audition for Rush. A corvette is a two-seat-er. Three grown men wouldn't go to a business lunch in a corvette.
    • Quotes

      Geddy Lee: [During the end credits] I think we've been successful in destroying these people's film. I will remind them that I said 'you will regret it'. I said 'don't be surprised when you discovered how boring we really are.'.

    If you like Rush you need to watch
    I have been a fan of this band since I was 14 years old. I first saw them live at Madison Square Garden in NYY (1981). My two older brothers introduced me to Rush and I have loved them since.

    This film / documentary chronicles the band from their very beginnings to today. If you are a Rush fan or if you want to learn about a band from Canada that has influenced so many other bands around the world you need to check out this film.

    Check it out just to listen to their music.

    A band from Toronto with a song called YYZ, can you ask for anything more!
