Earthshine_sf Posted December 11, 2012 Author Posted December 11, 2012 "It's a terrific honor and we'll show up smiling," Rush's singer and bassist, Geddy Lee, tells Rolling Stone. "It made my mom happy, so that's worth it." Lee is especially happy for Rush's army of hardcore fans. "It was a cause they championed," he says. "I'm very relieved for them and we share this honor with them, for sure."

GeddyRulz Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 IT'S OFFICIAL!! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has officially announced next year's inductees: Rush, Public Enemy, Heart, Randy Newman, Donna Summer and Albert King will all join the class of 2013, with Summer, who passed away this May, and King, who died in 1992, earning the honor posthumously. Lou Adler and Quincy Jones will both receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award for non-performers."It's a terrific honor and we'll show up smiling," Rush's singer and bassist, Geddy Lee, tells Rolling Stone.

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Alex, Geddy, and Neil are way too classy to dis the RRHOF if they do indeed get in. Sure it would be cool if they did, but that's not the way that they carry themselves. I've been saying the same for years. The guys have WAY too much dignity, class, sophistication, and integrity to give the Hall the middle finger and say "screw you!" (Still, there are a gaggle of Rush fans who want to see that.) I don't care if the boys get in or not, but I agree with this. I wouldn't want to see them dis the Hall, even if the Hall deserved it. They'd be gracious and classy, and then move on.

Sure it would be cool if they did, but that's not the way that they carry themselves. Agree 100%. I know if they get inducted they will gladdly accept and be done with it, Then they could move on to much better things like the R40 Tour. :P I don't know about "gladly" accept. They'd graciously accept on behalf of their fans, and then move on to the R40 tour...after they finished the second leg of the CA tour, that is. I like it your way much better. Graciously on behalf of our fans! Bravo sir! :cheers:

metaldad Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Randy Newman but No Deep Purple. Makes sense 1
losingit2k Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 RUSH is in! Congrats guys! You more than derserve it! :dweez: :banana: :haz: :ebert: :cheers: :rush:
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Randy Newman but No Deep Purple. Makes sense Right. Public Enemy, too. I like PE and recognize their importance to the hip-hop genre, but they're in before DP? 1
Lost In Xanadu Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 THEY ARE IN! http://www.rollingst...newman-20121211 SON OF A BITCH - the Mayans were right. Just another sign 2012 is the end of it all.

I sure hope what I see is a result of swine being shot out of a cannon.... or getting stuck in a hole in a dam and being propelled out by water pressure.

losingit2k Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 This is going to make tomorrow's CA 2nd Leg Tour dates announcement even sweeter! :notworthy:
GeddyRulz Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Randy Newman but No Deep Purple. Makes sense Future Rock Legends was saying it would be unlikely that Rush and Deep Purple would BOTH be inducted the same year. No Deep Purple? Maybe it's because Rush bumped them!

Do your f*ckin homework 1
Lost In Xanadu Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Facebook is exploding. Good - I hate that place. Blow it all to hell! 1
theprestobunnies Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Yeah, I don't personally care if Deep Purple got in, I was just kind of surprised compared to the other choices is all. My opinion of the HOF remains unchanged, whether Rush are in or not, because of things like this. Why was it unlikely that both Rush and DP get in the same year? They were the top 2 choices on the ballot IMO. LosingIt—are they really announcing dates tomorrow?
GeddyRulz Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 More complete post-announcement interview with Geddy: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/geddy-lee-on-rushs-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-induction-well-show-up-smiling-20121211 1
GeddyRulz Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Why was it unlikely that both Rush and DP get in the same year? They were the top 2 choices on the ballot IMO. Two classic rock artists, similar music, both bands snubbed for the nomination for so long, both finally getting the nom this year, and... BOTH GETTING INDUCTED, TOO? Unlikely. They like to space these artists out a bit. A little rock, a little pop, a little hip-hop, etc. As it is, it seems odd that Rush and Heart both got in in the same year; they also have similar music.
