When Ultimate Guitar asked their readers to vote for the most underrated guitarist of all time, there were — unsurprisingly — a wide variety of nominees, from Glenn Tipton of Judas Priest to Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme to Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac. But one talented axe man reigned supreme, nabbing the top spot on a list of 25 musicians: Alex Lifeson of Rush.
Slavković went on to declare Lifeson one of the "most innovative, influential, and underrated guitar players of all time."
Alex Lifeson started playing the guitar at 12 years old
"I immediately went upstairs, played guitar till dinner, had dinner and then immediately played guitar till I was supposed to do my homework," the Canadian rocker explained. "[I] didn't do my homework. I just couldn't stop playing. Every chance I got, I played."
"The premise was 10 kids from all different parts of the city moving in together in a farmhouse," Lifeson recalled. "Unfortunately, it was really boring, nothing really happened...About halfway through, I guess, our parents were invited to tour the farmhouse — it was in Newcastle, Ont. — [to] just see what we were doing."
Though his mother warned him that he wouldn't "last long" in the business, her son clearly went on to prove her wrong in a major way.
