But, I would be naive not to recognize the number of musicians who tell me they have been influenced by me and sight me - as well as Alex and Neil - as a musician who has been a positive influence on their playing.

I am moved more by melodies, song structure, and evocative textures.

I would like to think that Ben and myself have begun a partnership that will take us into different areas of music that we can continue to write, enjoy and keep me involved with music other then what I do with RUSH.

Sometimes it's nice to have a song that can be taken more then one way, so it can be interpreted differently.

With me, satisfaction is always very fleeting with our work. I always get a little restless with it.

For me, there is a lot of room for improvement and there are a lot of things I would like to be better at.

The sudden passing of Jack Bruce is terribly sad news. One of the greatest rock bassists to ever live and a true and profound inspiration to countless musicians. He was one of my first bass heroes and was a major influence on my playing and my music. My heartfelt condolences to his family and fans.
