Cool.

I was a little disappointed that he put the pickguard back on in 2002. It's classier-looking without it.

I agree. I like it clean and uninterrupted by a useless pickguard.

ATWAS tour!

Nice!

That was the tour that mostly played a Les Paul on, wasn't it?

Yeah, he did use it a lot. The Paul is a little less gentlemanly than the ES, though. It covers less of the no-man's land.

This series of pics look like they are from the ATWAS Passaic gig that there is a B&W video of. Not sure, though.

Agreed. The Les Paul is a great guitar, but there's something elegant about the ES series.

Alex looks great with them.

I like talking guitars.

Rush is mostly to blame for that, though The Beatles started it.

Anybody recognize this guitar?

Wow! It's got everything but a remote control!

Look at the cable and connector too . . . what the...?

Somebody make me smart!

I'm fascinated by this!

Whoa, Joey. I have no idea what's going on there.

Alex even has a knob on his chest! I wonder what that does?

Dude, I don't know - but I didn't even notice Lerxst flashing man-boob.

He's so slutty.

If he did that now the pic would have to be posted in the adult section.

Oh, wait...that might be the guitar-synth set-up he used for a while. Used to break it out during Hemispheres for the dreamy part in the middle.

That was the first tour I saw them.

I remember The Police played with that guitar a little bit too. You hear it in the bridge just before the final chorus in Don't Stand So Close To Me.

One of the first live pics of Rush playing a Friday night dance at Leaside High School in 1973.

Four or five really bizarre groupies spent the night dancing in a circle directly in front of Geddy Lee.

I have some more little-to-never seen Rush pics to share.
