Who is the longest running rock band with no member changes that still performs?
RE: Rush. 1975 and no member changes. Toured in 2011 and have an album coming out in 2012. It is true that Rush has had no lineup changes since 1975, but their original album featured John Rutsey on drums, who was replaced by Neil Peart due to Rutsey's health problems. So if the question is what is the longest currently running tenure of the same lineup, this may be true. If the question of the longest currently active band with the original members and no changes, then it is not Rush, and perhaps U2.
How old is the band rush?
The band's history goes back to 1968, but there were a number of personnel changes before it finally became what we know as today's incarnation of Rush. That incarnation goes back to about 1973. After playing at numerous bars and clubs, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and John Rutsey released an album on their own label, Moon Records, in 1974. It was sent to me (I was the music director at WMMS-FM in Cleveland), and in April-May 1974, Rush began to receive airplay on American radio. By that time, John Rutsey had to leave due to health issues, and Neil Peart joined the trio. Thus, Rush as the band we know today is more than forty years old.
Why did Rush fire John Rutsey?
It's not so much that they fired him; things were not working out for several reasons. For one, John was not healthy-- he had severe diabetes and back then, that meant frequent trips to the hospital or being very careful about where you went and what you did. Plus, being young, he did not follow the diet his doctors recommended, and that further complicated his health. The other two members of Rush (Alex and Geddy) really wanted to be a touring band, and when I discovered them in mid-1974, they had already made the decision that they needed someone who could go on the road-- which John's health would not have permitted. Further, even then, the band wanted to move in a different musical direction and not just be a "bar band." They were seeking someone to help take Rush to the next level, and that led to hiring Neil Peart. Severing ties with John Rutsey was difficult, but the decision was made that this would be best for all concerned.
