The Shred Barchetta web site is the resurrection of sorts on previous efforts. Shred Barchetta is a San Diego tribute to the band and music of the legendary Toronto band.…RUSH!
This new band features two members of the previous band HeadRUSH.
Though this site is up, there are many things to add and modify before it can escape the clutches of construction. So, here is a toast to the ultimate success of the band that is Shred Barchetta.
I wanted to drop a post to let everyone on the HEADRush Shred Barchetta friends list that sadly, there is not likely to be any shows this coming year, unless something changes. I will still keep up the site and post from time to time if anything Rushlike happens. I will also be doing everything I can to get HEADRush back out on the stage in coming years.
UPDATE: The new band Shred Barchetta is now rehearsing for shows in the coming spring.
Now for a message from our sponsor:
Ever wonder how Neil Peart got the idea for his songs?
[Fiction piece from Road & Track — November 1973, pp.148 – 150]
It was a fine morning in March 1982. The warm weather and clear sky gave promise of an early spring. Buzz had arisen early that morning, impatiently eaten breakfast and gone to the garage. Opening the door, he saw the sunshine bounce off the gleaming hood of his 15-year-old MGB roadster. After carefully checking the fluid levels, tire pressures and ignition wires, Buzz slid behind the wheel and cranked the engine, which immediately fired to life. He thought happily of the next few hours he would spend with the car, but his happiness was clouded — it was not as easy as it used to be. Read More
One of my favorite all time guitarists would of course be Alex Lifeson. He is really stepping up his stage act recently. During the Snakes and Arrows tour, there are multiple “Barbie Doll” groupies known as “Big Al’s Babes” standing on stage in front of Alex Lifeson, holding “Post-It” notes with various sayings on them, apparently created by the roadies.

Happy Bastille Day everybody! On this day back in 1789 Parisians stormed the Bastille, freeing its inmates and taking the prison’s large quantities of arms and ammunition, thereby setting in motion the French Revolution. More importantly, back in 1975 Rush decided to write a song about it. There’s no bread, let them eat cake!
There’s no bread, let them eat cake
There’s no end to what they’ll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth
But they’re marching to Bastille Day Read More
After 35 years of criticism, Rush is now considered coolAfter 35 years as one of rock music’s most persistent punch lines — the singer sounds like a girl, the songs are long and pedantic, some fans are obsessive, the band is indulgent and Canadian — Rush is suddenly cool.
In fact, even more remarkably, liking Rush is cool.
I have something you might enjoy. I Just ran into an article on Blender magazine where they recently interviewed Geddy Lee and opened up questions to the readers. There were a lot of interesting questions. For example…
You were made an officer of the Order of Canada in the ’90s. To what does that entitle you? Read More
If anyone ever doubts the veracity and inventiveness of RUSH fans, this should set your mind at ease…Thanx to Mitch.
MusicRadar.com recently spoke with Alex Lifeson and asked him what he thought were his three best guitar solos. Alex chose Freewill, Kid Gloves and Limelight. Very interesting. Read More
