Episode 111. Finding My Way
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 the way:Chaz encounters Peyton Manning in the Denver airport… is he going to see Rush this fall in Denver??.Alex Lifeson’s new Analog Kid Double Chorus Pedal sends everyone spiraling into gear lust and riff worship.Getty Lee receives a gorgeous new custom Rickenbacker bass because apparently the universe still rewards cool people.The guys long for RUSHFest Scotland - this Weekend in Glasgow!And somehow, against all odds, the conversation keeps steering back toward Rush. Mostly.Then comes the spin.With only 67 songs left on the wheel, The Wheel delivers a sign: “Finding My Way.” The first track from the first Rush album. The very same song performed at the Junos. Coincidence? Statistical anomaly? Ancient Canadian prophecy? The hosts investigate with the scientific rigor of two men operating on coffee, enthusiasm, and questionable sleep schedules.From there, the episode turns unexpectedly heartfelt as the guys revisit the raw power of early Rush — John Rutsey’s explosive drumming, Alex’s wonderfully awkward opening riff, Getty sounding like a young man trying to punch through the ceiling of the universe, and the sheer joy of hearing a band discovering itself in real time.There are also sponsors. There is also shouting.No bones. Just Rush.SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDSScratch your itch to hear RUSH music played live by going to check out any of these great RUSH Tribute Bands - these bands are keeping the community and the music alive - the most current, curated, and rockin' list of RUSH Tribute Bands in the world!

Episode 110. Where's My Thing?
This week, Chaz and Schatz crack open the cosmic portal to Cygnus X-1 and welcome none other than John Patuto, the mastermind behind the legendary Rush fan hub Cygnus-X1.net—a site that’s been keeping Rush fandom alive longer than most of us have kept a pair of concert tees without holes.From humble beginnings in the dial-up bulletin board days (kids, ask your parents) to running a 45,000-member online community, John shares how a personal passion project turned into one of the most trusted and enduring Rush resources on the planet.The guys dig into:What it’s like moderating a massive fan community… and when you finally have to say “okay, everybody outta the pool”His thoughts on the polarizing Terry Brown remix of Grace Under PressureThe evolution of Rush fandom from underground to online chaosThings get real as John opens up about shutting down his Facebook group temporarily after fan backlash surrounding Rush’s return and the JUNOS Awards performance—proving that even in a fandom built on intellect and musicianship, things can get… spicy.It’s a deep dive into what it means to live Rush—not just listen to it.So grab your headphones, keep it civil, and remember:Whether you’re Team Original Mix or Team Remix… don’t be the guy flipping the table in the comments section.SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDSScratch your itch to hear RUSH music played live by going to check out any of these great RUSH Tribute Bands - these bands are keeping the community and the music alive - the most current, curated, and rockin' list of RUSH Tribute Bands in the world!
