It is not typically that you just hear Rush and Meshuggah talked about in the identical breath, given the stark distinction between Rush‘s progressive rock sound and Meshuggah‘s elaborated but excessive metallic. Nevertheless, it seems that Meshuggah guitarist Mårten Hagström is an enormous fan of Alex Lifeson.
In an interview with Ultimate Guitar, Hagström was requested if he would take potential guitar classes from any guitarist in historical past. After clarifying he is not likely into the concept, just because he does not wish to mimic anybody’s type, he talked about he would had liked to select Allan Holdsworth‘s thoughts:
“I might have liked to take a seat down and speak with Allan Holdsworth. I would not need him to indicate me methods and licks and stuff as a result of that is simply boring. I might simply wish to speak to him about how he conceptualizes what he did and his strategy and his writing course of. That is one dude.”
Hagström then revealed that he was drawn to Lifeson‘s capacity to create a novel and identifiable sound, even in a band with two different extremely expert musicians.
“However one man that actually made a shitload of distinction outdoors of the Bay Space thrash metallic stuff and actually impacted the best way I considered taking part in guitar and made me wish to really focus extra on taking part in rhythm was Alex Lifeson.”
“Look, they had been three guys, and granted, Geddy Lee was taking part in Moog and bass and vocals. That was an enormous a part of them sounding greater than they had been. However the Alex Lifeson strategy to tone and taking part in these open chords and harmonies and the influence it made on me after I was between 10 and 15 was not even humorous — particularly the outdated Rush stuff. You may immediately hear it is Alex Lifeson. It is not, like, ‘Oh, who’s taking part in this lead?'”
