What legendary rock band uses dryers, vending machines, rotisseries, and meat grinders as stage props?

Rush is a Canadian progressive rock band formed in 1968 by guitarist Alex Lifeson, bassist Jeff Jones, and drummer John Rutsey. Within a couple weeks of forming, Jones left the band and was replaced by Geddy Lee. Rutsey left the band in 1974 due to diabetes and tour fatigue, and was replaced by Neal Peart.

Rush's musical style has changed through the years, from blues-based hard rock, to progressive rock and a period of heavy synthesizer use in the 80's, before returning to a guitar driven hard rock sound that has continued to the present.

Geddy Lee's high vocal style has always been a signature of the band; Alex Lifeson is known for his riffing, electronic effects, and unorthodox chord structures; and Neil Peart has been voted the greatest rock drummer by fans, fellow drummers, and critics. Rush became eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and was finally inducted in 2012.

A notable part of Rush's stage show is Geddy Lee's collection of appliances in lieu of bass amps. For the last decade or so, Lee has run his sound through the front-of-the-house sound system, leaving a void on the stage where the bass console would normally be. The props actually work - a cook tends the chickens in the rotisseries throughout the show, and the dryers contain limited edition t-shirts the band will throw into the crowd. The appliances also have microphones in front of them as if they are producing the sound of the bass amps they replace.
