Episode 116. Test For Echo
<p>In another absolutely unnecessary but deeply essential installment of <strong>Rush Rash</strong>, Chaz and Schatz return to the Boneless airwaves to tackle the latest chapter in Rush's ongoing tour saga. What begins as concern over Geddy Lee's bout with bronchitis quickly snowballs into discussions of border crossings, maple syrup smuggling operations (allegedly), canceled shows, the realities of life on the road, and why rock stars probably catch germs the same way kindergarten parents do.</p><p>Along the way:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Geddy's bronchitis forces the postponement of the Fort Worth shows, leaving fans—and ticket holders from around the world—wondering what comes next. (SPOILER: They just played their rescheduled shows!)</li><li>The guys relive the infamous Mexico border delay and imagine what customs officials really thought was hidden inside those Rush road cases.</li><li>Schatz finally dives into <strong>Ghost Rider</strong>, opening the door to a thoughtful conversation about Neil Peart's relationship with fans and why his books reveal more about the man than any meet-and-greet ever could.</li><li>Chaz reflects on playing live after a mid-week gig, comparing life as a weekend warrior to the relentless grind of touring.</li><li>The hosts debate whether performing is supposed to be fun... or simply the price professionals pay to deliver excellence every night.</li><li>And yes... someone inevitably suggests that maple syrup might actually be contraband.</li></ul><p>Somewhere between discussing Neil's incredible dedication to his craft and wondering whether Dirk should be wearing a mask at meet-and-greets, the guys find themselves appreciating something Rush fans have always known: greatness isn't always glamorous, but professionalism never goes out of style.</p><p>There are opinions. There are laughs. There is at least one completely unnecessary conversation about Canadian contraband.</p><p>No bones. Just Rush.</p><br><p><strong>SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDS</strong></p><p>Scratch 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 115. Rush Returns Week Special Panel Discussion
<p>The biggest week in the Rush universe in over a decade deserved something different... so we threw out the usual format and assembled an all-star panel.</p><p>Chaz and Schatz are joined by our co-hostess with the mostest <strong>Jillian Maryonovich (</strong><a href="https://www.rushcon.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>RushCon</strong></a><strong>)</strong>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/edtothdrums/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Ed Toth</strong></a><strong> (The Doobie Brothers)</strong>, <strong>Greg Russell (Mr. Peart's Friend, Drummer </strong><a href="https://naturalsciencetribute.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Natural Science</strong></a><strong>, and </strong><a href="https://xitelabs.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Xcitelabs</strong></a><strong> Director)</strong>, and <strong>John Patuto (</strong><a href="https://www.cygnus-x1.net" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Cygnus-X1.net</strong></a><strong>)</strong> to unpack the first week of Rush's historic 2026 return to the stage. From first impressions of Anika Nilles behind the kit, to the emotional tributes to Neil Peart, the jaw-dropping setlists, and the overwhelming reaction from the Rush community, this is a candid fan conversation recorded while history is still unfolding.</p><p>Was everyone skeptical going in? Absolutely.</p><p>Did the first four shows change minds?</p><p>You'll have to listen.</p><p>This isn't a review—it's five lifelong Rush fans trying to process something many of us never thought we'd see again: Geddy and Alex back on stage, celebrating the music, honoring Neil, and reminding us why this band continues to mean so much.</p><br><p><br></p><h2><strong>In This Episode</strong></h2><ul><li>The panel's honest reactions after opening week</li><li>Why Anika Nilles may have the toughest job in rock music</li><li>The emotional response from the Rush fan community</li><li>Greg Russell discusses creating the video tribute to his friend</li><li>Setlist surprises, deep cuts, and what they mean for the tour</li><li>Why many longtime fans say they "felt safe loving Rush again"</li><li>What the future of the tour could hold city by city</li></ul><p>Whether you've already seen the show or you're counting the days until your date, this episode captures the excitement, uncertainty, and joy of an unforgettable week in Rush history.</p><p><strong>#Rush #RushRash #GeddyLee #AlexLifeson #NeilPeart #AnnikaNilles #RushTour2026 #RushFans #ProgressiveRock #ClassicRock #RushCon</strong></p><p><strong>SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDS</strong></p><p>Scratch 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!
