Digitally restored from rare early-1990s archive footage, this candid interview captures Geddy Lee of Rush discussing the making of Counterparts and the band’s evolving sound.
In this conversation, Geddy breaks down the album’s more upfront, guitar-driven mix with fewer keyboards and heavier, deeper bass-and-drums, explains their songwriting process (from lucky bursts of inspiration to rewriting songs from scratch), and talks about the internal pressure to keep improving nineteen albums in. He also reflects on reuniting with producer Peter Collins and shares the meaning behind “Nobody’s Hero”—a touching song about loss and the everyday people we quietly revere.
📼 Originally aired on the influential Music Box television channel — which reached 60 million viewers across Europe and Asia — this footage has remained unseen for decades.
