January 9, 2013

Guitar Center TV has uploaded a three-and-a-half-minute video report on RUSH's November 20, 2012 induction into Guitar Center's historic RockWalk, including a short interview with all three members of the band conducted by legendary DJ Jim Ladd. Check it out below. The exclusive, invite-only induction ceremony took place at Guitar Center's Hollywood location on Sunset Boulevard. 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."
