'The Freedom Of Music' Rush's 7th studio album, 'Permanent Waves', marked a departure from their earlier sound and embraced a more diverse musical palette. Incorporating synthesisers more heavily and refining songs into simpler structures with a more radio friendly accessibility, Rush changed their own trajectory and gained many new fans/plaudits from this release. Whether you're a die-hard Rush fan or discovering 'Permanent Waves' for the first time, join us as we dive into Rush's most successful album (up to that point) and explore the fine balance achieved between Progressiveness and Accessibility coupled with Peart's traditional lyrics commenting on society and freewill.

Hosts Lazarus Michaelides and Felipe Amorim-Laz and Felipe to regular listeners-share a deep, conversational passion for guitar riffs, anthemic choruses, and the cultural moments that only rock music can create. Their Long Live Rock 'N' Roll podcast is a dedicated space for that enthusiasm, moving beyond simple rankings to explore the texture and context of the genre. Each episode focuses on a specific song, band, or seminal album, dissecting not just the musical composition but the human stories and historical conditions that fueled its creation. You’ll hear them analyze why a particular guitar solo resonates decades later, or how a band’s internal dynamics shaped a classic record, always with a focus on the artistry and impact. This isn’t a dry history lesson; it’s a lively discussion between two knowledgeable fans who believe the music’s power lies in its combination of raw sound and relatable humanity. Whether examining a legendary track from the 70s or a pivotal album from the 90s, the conversation in this podcast aims to connect the notes you hear to the people who made them and the listeners who found meaning in them. For anyone who has ever been captivated by a drum fill or a lyric shouted from a stage, Long Live Rock 'N' Roll offers a thoughtful, engaging deep dive into the soundtrack of rebellion and resonance.
