The guitarist and occasional back up vocalist in canadian prog rock band Rush. His real name is Aleksandar Živojinović and is the son of Serbian
immigrants. He is a highly talented guitarist, one of
the best ever, but since no music media outlet ever cares about Rush, is often unappreciated. Plays a wide variety of guitars from Gibsons to PRSs. Can play
better than just about anyone. He's nicknamed Lerxst from a mispronunciation of his name.
Alex Lifeson,
Neil Peart, and Geddy Lee are the god-kings of
progressive rock. Just listen to 2112 or Xanadu or La Villa Strangiato
In 2003, Alex Lifeson got into a brawl with police in Naples and had to be tased
multiple times.
