Steve Longo has been playing the guitar for over 20 years, most of them playing
Rush's music exclusively. His main influence, needless to say is Alex Lifeson and Steve is
the biggest Rush fan around. His first Rush concert attended was in 1984 during the Grace
Under Pressure Tour and his favorite songs to play are Limbo, Freewill, Hemispheres, 2112,
Jacob's Ladder, Double Agent, Natural Science and Xanadu. He
plays Fender, Gibson, Ovation and PRS guitars and uses Marshall Amplification, Roland and Fatar MIDI
pedals and Roland and Novation synthesizers. He is also the web page creator and maintainer for LIMBO.
