Union 5-3992 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Even if I wasn't a fan of Rush, that was the best response he could have had other than saying "Piss off" and not showing up. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt it's even possible to embarrass Geddy Lee and Neil Peart in that building! No they were behind him cracking jokes about clubbing him and dragging him off stage, I love that! You can even read their lips in the video.. No Ged and Neil respect Alex too much to get embarrassed and respect the hall too little to get embarassed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 People give too much credit to the R&RHoF. They're not like the Oscars or the Emmys. It's a museum, that is all. Marketing, it's all marketing. :) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other people think about something you happen to like is of no consequence and should never affect you at all. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagegrace26 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 People who aren't familar with Alex may come away from that thinking he's an idiot, an asshole, or both. I'm sure he'd be fine with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ES-335 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 My initial reaction was negative, as was Geddy's and Neil's Geddy: "I had no idea he was doing that," Lee said. "Let me go on the record to say he didn't tell us he was doing that. In fact, I know he had a whole other speech planned. Neil [Peart, drums] and I thought he had lost his marbles when he was talking. You can see the look on our faces behind him going, 'What the f**k is he doing?' And of course, we couldn't see him act it all out. We just kept hearing, 'blah blah blah blah blah.' "I don't know what his pure intent was, but I think it was more a knock on speeches, the whole process of the Hall Of Fame induction thing." Lee continued: "He's a mental case. And he's genuinely one of the funniest people you would ever meet in your life. But I wanted to kill him at the three-minute mark. Neil and I were threatening to knock him on the head and drag him offstage." But, after about 3- seconds, his acting and mimicking drew me in, combine that with what we know about his sense of humour (remember the rants) and I love it now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
