RUSH: New Video Interview With GEDDY LEE, ALEX LIFESON

October 26, 2012

On October 22, John Jurgensen of The Wall Street Journal conducted an interview with RUSH bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson following the band's soundcheck at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Geddy and Alex spoke about their recent nomination for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, the Volkswagen ad in which a Passat driver air drums furiously to "Fly By Night" and the band’s shifting business model. Check out the chat below.

RUSH kicked off the "Clockwork Angels" world tour on September 7 at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire.

In addition to adding a lot of rarely played songs to their opening set, RUSH is bringing a string ensemble out on tour with the band for the first time ever in its career. Orchestrations provided by well-known arranger David Campbell were used on several tracks from the band's new album, "Clockwork Angels", and RUSH is recreating that sound during the current tour.

RUSH's North American tour will wrap on December 2 in Houston, Texas.

"Clockwork Angels" debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard album chart, selling 103,000 copies in its first week of release. The disc marked RUSH 's highest chart debut since 1993's "Counterparts", which also entered at No. 2.
