I like to be able to come and go as I please, and I don't really like having my face and name plastered around. I think it's a bit weird to have your name plastered on every page in a magazine, where in each case you're using a different piece of equipment.

At the beginning of the 2002 Vapor Trails tour Lee revised his previous setup. Lee once again used his Rickenbacker 4001 for the performance of "A Passage To Bangkok" on the 2007 and 2008 Snakes & Arrows Tour. Much like Vapor Trails the music is primarily recorded with multiple layers of guitars bass drums and percussion.

In addition to his composing arranging and performing duties for Rush Lee has produced for various other bands including Rocket Science. Lee is ranked 13th by Hit Parader on their list of the 100 Greatest Heavy Metal vocalists of all time. Lee's first solo effort My Favourite Headache was released in 2000.
