RUSH Inducted Into GUITAR CENTER's 'RockWalk' In Hollywood; Photos, Video Footage Available - Nov. 20, 2012
Canadian rockers RUSH were inducted earlier today (Tuesday, November 20) into Guitar Center's historic RockWalk. The exclusive, invite-only induction ceremony took place at noon at Guitar Center's Hollywood location on Sunset Boulevard. Legendary DJ Jim Ladd opened the event by reflecting upon RUSH's musical impact and welcoming the band to the stage.

"We are very pleased to have been chosen by our peers and fellow musicians for induction in Guitar Center's RockWalk," said RUSH's Geddy Lee. "It is an honor to have our names added to this illustrious list of great and highly talented musicians."

"Not only is RUSH extraordinary as a band, but each member is incredibly talented in their own right," said Dave Weiderman, Chairman of Guitar Center's RockWalk. "With nearly thirty years together, this group has consistently delivered skilled musicianship, experimental-drive and stylistically diverse rock to music fans worldwide. In short — RUSH is long deserving of being honored by Guitar Center's RockWalk."

Check out video footage of the event below. Photos can be found at Getty Images.

Guitar Center's RockWalk is dedicated to honoring those artists who have made a significant impact and lasting contribution to the growth and evolution of rock 'n' roll, blues and R&B. As the newest RockWalk inductees, RUSH's handprints will reside alongside the handprints, signatures, and faces of other equally accomplished musicians and innovators such as Eric Clapton, George Martin, Jimmy Page, IRON MAIDEN, Carlos Santana, Johnny Cash, VAN HALEN, AC/DC, AEROSMITH, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, B.B. King, Stevie Wonder, RUN-D.M.C. and QUEEN, among numerous others.

Those giving 'thumbs down' to anything Rush related need to be banned from the forum.

Indeed, Rush is musical royalty. At least Guitar Center has the distinction of inducting them before the hippie rag RS did.
In other not so related news, Alex looks as if he is playing Les Pauls exclusively now. I agree with Geddy, that particular instrument has always suited him best. Check out his guitar tone on ATWAS. Majestic!

NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG. I LOVE THIS FUCKING BAND AND ALWAYS WILL. BUT WHO CARES ABOUT A RETAIL STORE GIVING YOU AN AWARD. I WOULD'VE TOLD GUITAR CENTER, " HEY THANKS GUYS BUT COULD YOU SEND THAT TO US IN THE MAIL? WE'RE WAITING ON THE REAL PHONE CALL."

MAYBE THEY'LL GET THE REAL DEAL THIS NEXT YEAR IN CLEVELAND. BUT IT WILL BE DEEP PURPLE FOR SURE.

WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK IT'S GONNA BE?

N.W.A ????

I want one of those Alex Lifeson model Gibson Les Pauls. I played one at a Guitar Center and it is beyond awesome...

But I'm disapointed that there was no mention of John Rutsey. If you watch the Beyond the Lighted Stage DVD, John was integral in getting the band started and his playing on the first album was killer.

It's a shame he passed a few years ago, but at least an acknowledgement for this great honor wouldn't have been asking too much.
