Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of FOO FIGHTERS inducted RUSH at the 28th annual Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony, which was held last night (Thursday, April 18) at the Nokia Theater L.A. Live. Grohl
said in his induction speech, "From day one, the band built its
following the right way. No hype, no (baloney), they did it from the
ground up without any help from the mainstream press… Their influence is
undeniable and their devoted fan base is only rivaled by the GRATEFUL DEAD.
Look at you people, all of you people, right here! And their legacy is
that of a band that stayed true to themselves no matter how uncool they
may have seemed to anyone."
According to The Pulse Of Radio, RUSH drummer Neil Peart,
normally the most reclusive member of the band, gave the first and most
eloquent of the three members' speeches, followed by bassist/singer Geddy Lee. But it was guitarist Alex Lifeson
who brought down the house with a speech consisting entirely of "blah
blah blahs," changing the tone of his voice to exhibit a range of
emotions — with everyone understanding what he meant, especially when he
"described" getting the call that the band was being inducted.
Lee was asked on the red carpet if he thought the acclaimed documentary on the band, "Beyond The Lighted Stage", played a role in the groundswell of support for the band's induction into the Hall Of Fame.
"Oh, I think it probably did have an effect to a certain degree because
of the way the filmmakers put that story together," he said. "I think
it really showed what a vast and diverse audience that we do have and
what the effect of our music has been on young players. And one of the
criteria of the Hall Of Fame is influence, so I think it's easy to see
that in that film."
Peart said that the band's fans had a
personal stake in seeing the band inducted. "The thing is, with our
fans, is that we grew up together," he said. "We always say 'the
soundtrack of your life' is a phrase that I love, but it has been that
case and we have evolved naturally in our music and our lyrics and our
songs and all that, of our experiences from our past and our present as
grown-ups, and we've expressed all that through our songs. So a lot of
them have grown up with that in a very real, true way, so they share it
and they feel like they're part of the team, and our team should win."
Lee
thanked "the most passionate, incredible fan base around the globe …for
not only supporting and encouraging our musical progress over the
years, but for the insistence of their voices, which has most certainly
led us to this evening."
The ceremony will be broadcast on May 18 on HBO at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
