George, good recommendation on that Rush documentary on Netflix. I try to watch it at least once a year and it is still amazing every time I see it.

I love the restaurant scene at the end where they all have a wine soaked dinner together.

“Very close” are actually Rush’s words describing their times with Kiss and not mine!

Rush credit Kiss for showing them how to work hard to entertain the fans. Alex and Geddy always mention how much they learned from them during their early years.

This clip is great -

Lashdeep,

Watch the Rush "Beyond The Lighted Stage" documentary - Gene Simmons talks about it.  I think they had a mutual respect musically back in those days (though Rush eventually far exceeded anything Kiss ever did, musically speaking), as well as a lot of goofy "fun" times - they just seemed to get along well, despite their wildly different styles.  But Rush has said (well, Neil and Geddy at least) that by touring with Kiss, they learned what *not* to do.

That said, I think "very close friends" might be a bit of a stretch, but your point is well taken.

BTW - another that Rush (or Neil, anyway) liked is my other favorite band - Kansas.  Neil often included Kansas' "Journey From Mariabronn" (an awesome piece of music if there ever was one - and from their very *first* album!) in the Rush pre-show "mix-tape".  Neil had great respect for Kansas drummer Phil Ehart.

FWIW, YMMV, yadda yadda....

p.s. - Alice Cooper is another with an intense respect and admiration for Rush - he called them "musician's musicians".

Rob, can you shed any light on the curious affinity Rush and Kiss had for each other?

They were very close friends to the shock of many Rush fans...
