Rush Guitarist Alex Lifeson Reveals His Greatest Accomplishment

(Classic Rock) Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson has described 1996 solo album Victor as the "greatest accomplishment" in his career. He says working outside of the Canadian trio forced him to take responsibility for every aspect of the work - and completing it felt all the sweeter as a result.

Lifeson tells Spin: "Everything was on my back. I produced it, I wrote it, I got musicians together, I played bass, I played guitar, I played keyboards, I worked on the cover art. I did the whole thing.

"That was probably my greatest accomplishment in personal terms of being a musician and taking on the responsibility of making a record - which we all share within Rush, with the producer, the three of us and our office."

He continues: "It didn't matter to me if I sold one copy or a billion. I did it. I put the time and effort in, and that was a very proud moment for me when I finished that record." Read more here.
