Is Rush having more fun onstage than they used to?

Question

Look at their videos. They seemed so serious years ago but in anything recent they're having a blast!

Answer 1

That is mostly due to their new co-producer Nick Raskulinecz who started working with the band at the time they sat down to write their album Snakes and Arrows.  He is best known for his work with the Foo Fighters and has already made quite a name for himself so unlike some of the bands previous producers, he is not trying to prove anything.  He is already a somebody and is not trying to become a somebody.

From what I can tell this has been a very mutual relationship between the band and him and it does not look like he is going to go anywhere else for a while.

Answer 2

I suppose. My friend recently went to their concert and said they were pretty awesome....i think they're okay.
