Traduza\\ RUSH Inducted Into ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME

 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.

Rocknews\\ Rush: com Dave Ghrol durante o Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Segundo informações publicadas pela Rolling Stone americana, o nosso querido arroz de festa, Dave Ghrol, poderá tocar com o Rush durante a inclusão dos canadenses no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
A edição de número 28 do Hall da Fama irá incluir as bandas RUSH, Public Enemy, Randy Newman e o Heart. A cerimonia acontece no dia 18 de maio e será televisionada pela HBO.

Dave Ghrol e Taylor Hawkins, os dois do Foo Fighters, serão os responsáveis por fazer a introdução do Rush, enquanto o cineasta Spike Lee fará a do Public Enemy.

O Rush teve um apelo popular muito forte para ser introduzido ao Hall da Fama. Dave Ghrol e Taylor Hawkins foram alguns dos artistas que encabeçaram o pedido para que os canadenses fossem homenageados. Como de costume, as bandas homenageadas se apresentam durante a cerimônia.
"Dave e Taylor foram uma das primeiras pessoas que pensaram em dar o titulo ao RUSH", diz Joel Peresman, diretor do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "Eles disseram 'sim' em cerca de dois segundos. Estou esperançoso que eles toquem juntos." Foi o que aconteceu no ano passado com o Green Day - eles estavam lá apenas para apresentar um prêmio ao Guns N' Roses e depois decidiram tocar juntos".

Rocknews\\ Rush, Deep Purple e Public Enemy estão entre os nomeados para o Hall da Fama do Rock

As bandas Rush, Deep Purple, Public Enemy e N.W.A. estão entre as nomeadas pela primeira vez para o Hall da Fama do Rock.

Eles se unem aos grupos Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Randy Newman, Donna Summer e Kraftwerk entre os 15 que competem novamente pela posição.

Os nomeados para a posição em 2013 variam radicalmente em som, origem e influência, indo do rock progressivo do trio canadense Rush ao estilo proto-eletrônico do Kraftwerk e o funk de Nova Orleans do The Meters. A Motown está representada pelo grupo The Mavelettes.
Joel Peresman, presidente e CEO da fundação Hall of Fame, confirmou a extrema variedade dos nomeados deste ano nesta quinta-feira (4).

“A definição de ‘rock and roll’ tem diferentes significados para diferentes pessoas, mas por mais variadas que sejam as classificações, elas todas mostram o amor pela música”, disse Peresman.

Um grupo de 600 artistas músicos e membros da indústria fonográfica irão escolher os grupos inclusos em 2013. Eles serão honrados no dia 18 de abril de 2013 em Los Angeles.
