John Rutsey - Biocrawler (201 words)
John Rutsey (born 1953) was a founding member of Rush along with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson.
Rutsey played only on the debut EP, and subsequent eponymous album, after which he quit the band, citing health reasons and creative differences.
Rutsey's parting is very often considered a 'blessing in disguise' by Rush fans.
Rush - Music Downloads - Online (604 words)
Rush formed in Toronto, Ontario, in the autumn of 1968, and initially comprised guitarist Alex Lifeson (born Alexander Zivojinovich), vocalist/bassist Geddy Lee (born Gary Lee Weinrib), and drummer John Rutsey.
In their primary incarnation, the trio drew a heavy influence from Cream, and honed their skills on the Toronto club circuit before issuing their debut single, a rendition of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away," in 1973.
A self-titled LP followed in 1974, at which time Rutsey exited; he was replaced by drummer Neil Peart, who also assumed the role of the band's primary songwriter, composing the cerebral lyrics (influenced by works of science fiction and fantasy) that gradually became a hallmark of the group's aesthetic.
