Sortie du roman Clockwork Angels-The Novel le 23 août, ouvrage dont s'inspire le dernier opus en date :

Rush definitely delved a little bit into concept album territory with their latest release, ‘Clockwork Angels,’ and for those who want to go a little further into the story, you should check out ‘Clockwork Angels: The Novel,’ which will be released next month by ECW Press.

The book is a literary collaboration between Rush drummer Neil Peart, who initially came up with the concept and lyrics for the disc, and best-selling sci-fi author Kevin J. Anderson.

The book will officially be launched Aug. 23 at the Richmond and John Chapters on 142 John Street in Toronto. Anderson stated via his blog that he would be in Toronto as a guest at the Fan Expo, but this book launch ceremony would be open to the general public and would mark the first time the book had been on sale. The co-author will also speak, answer questions and autograph books. The U.S. book launch will take place at DragonCon in Atlanta on Aug. 31.

ECW Press recently unveiled two special editions of the ‘Clockwork Angels’ novel, and each of the numbered items are available for pre-order at both ECW Press and through Rush’s Backstage merchandise arm. With a limited run of 300 copies of both the Silver and Gold editions, this should be a must-get for Rush fans.

The Silver Edition comes with a slipcase autographed by both Peart and Anderson and retails for $74.95, while the Gold Edition is also autographed by Peart and Anderson, but also includes a lithograph image from the book signed by artist Hugh Syme and a unique autographed page of the original ‘Clockwork Angels’ manuscript. The Gold Edition retails for $299.95.

Happy Birthday Mister Alex Lifeson...!!

A Happy Birthday Mister Neil Peart... 60 ans aujourd'hui...!!

Joyeux anniversaire à un super batteur

Le bouquin qui accompagne le dernier album du groupe, Clockwork Angels, est parvenu à la 18ème place des ventes selon le New York Times.

Un titre du groupe, Fly By Night, a été utilisé pour une pub pour la Passat 2013VW

A Rush classic is featured in a new advertising campaign for the 2013 VW Passat.

“Fly By Night” provides the soundtrack to the latest tv commercial for the brand. The ad features a middle-aged businessman stopping at a traffic light and rocking out to the song – full air drums included.

The Passat was named the 2012 Motor Trend Car of the Year.

The title track to Rush’s second album was released as a single in May of 1975.

Rush are currently touring North America in support of their latest album, “Clockwork Angels.”

Le groupe vient de prendre conscience qu'il ne lui resterait plus qu'une décennie à assurer et que les shows ne seraient pas aussi longs que sur les tournées précédentes :

Rush know they’re living through their final decade as a touring band, guitarist Alex Lifeson hints.

As drummer Neil Peart turns 60 he’s admitted he’s now sure how long he can keep delivering the kind of high-energy performance required of him.

The band have other commitments outside music – and Lifeson says there soon will come a time to focus on those.

“One day we’re not going to be able to do it any more,” the axeman tells Premier Guitar. “That’s a reality and I don’t think we should get too caught up in it.

“We’ve had a great run, we’ve left a great legacy that we’re proud of, and who knows what will come after that? I think my fingers will still work for a little while longer; I like to do stuff at home, to work with other people and continue to be musical.

“But there are other things in life, too, especially when you’ve dedicated your life to touring. We love what we do, but eventually it does come to an end. I don’t want to be 70 years old jumping around on stage. If we’re still making good music, sure – but I doubt it: most 70-year-old rock musicians I see are not really that enjoyable to watch.”

Peart recently said he wasn’t sure how much longer his stamina would last. Frotman Geddy Lee takes his point: “How much longer can we go out there and play three-hour shows at that peak level?

“I can see it in him. I don’t think we’ve ever worked so hard prepping for touring and I could see he was tired. There comes a point when you have to accept you’re approaching 60 and that three hours of blistering rock is for a younger man. That’s what he’s getting at.”

Lifeson adds: “He has a young daughter. We have all given up a lot being on the road, away from our families. I have two grandsons who I adore and love being with as much as I can be. I’m fortunate they feel the same way, so it kills me to be away from them.

“I know it kills Neil to be away from his daughter and miss those formative years. It’s tough for her as well. These things kind of eat away at you.”

In the meantime, Rush are riding high with an acclaimed new tour in support of their Clockwork Angels album, and – finally – nomination for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Lifeson says: “This has really been hard work this time. I know why: it’s not the physicality so much as the mental work. Plus working with a string section, two cellos and six violins, which is absolutely awesome.

“Hopefully we’ll get through this tour with no problems. I’d like to think we will, and that’s certainly our plan.”

Lee suggests: “Maybe it’s just inevitable that Rush tours down the road – if all goes well and there are Rush tours – won’t be three hours long.”

The Canadian awards happen the same week that Rush will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

The group will be inducted on April 18 in Los Angeles, along with Heart, Public Enemy, Donna Summer, Randy Newman and Albert King.

Rush have been eligible for the Rock Hall since 1998; artists are considered for inclusion 25 years after the release of their first recording.

Les billets pour le concert de Halifax le 12 juillet prochain se sont vendus en quelques minutes. Du coup, le groupe a reprogrammé un second concert deux jours plus tard.

After the first show on July 12 sold out in minutes, Rush changed their schedule to accommodate a second show for the city they haven't been to in over 2 decades and announced a second show in Halifax on July 14 at the Metro Centre.

"We are thrilled that the good folks of Halifax have forgiven our long absence from their beautiful city and have decided to come out and celebrate with us!!" said Geddy Lee.

Come rock with Rush in Halifax on July 14!

Rush a été intronisé au Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame hier soir :

Rush were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Thursday night in Los Angeles.

The group were honored as part of the Class of 2013, along with Heart, Public Enemy, Donna Summer, Randy Newman and Albert King.

Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters delivered the induction speech, filled with references to Rush’s lengthy career.

“Playing upwards of 250 shows a year from day one,” said Grohl, “the band built its following the right way – no hype, no bullshit. They did it from the ground up… without any help from the mainstream press…(coughs)…Rolling Stone.”

Rush then took center stage to wild applause from fans; the band seemed overwhelmed by the event and its meaning.

“We've been saying for a long time, years, that this wasn't a big deal,” said drummer Neil Peart. “Turns out that it kind of is."

Bassist Geddy Lee made a point of thanking the fans for their never-ending support.

“On my behalf of my two partners, I have to thank the most passionate, most dedicated, incredible fan base around,” said Lee. “For not only supporting and encouraging our musical progress over the years, but for the insistence of their voices, which has most certainly led us to this evening.”

Alex Lifeson wrapped up the speeches with three straight minutes of the phrase, “blah blah blah.”

The Rush portion of the live performances kicked off with Grohl (as Lifeson), Hawkins (as Peart) and producer Nick Raskulinecz (as Lee) - dressed in the 2112-era white robes, with wigs - cranking out a version of the 2112 Overture. The guys were joined near the end of the tune by Lee and Lifeson themselves.

Rush then rocked their 1981 classic, “Tom Sawyer,” and were the backbone of the night’s closing jam on “Crossroads,” which also included Heart, Chuck D, Grohl, Chris Cornell, Tom Morello and others.

The 28th annual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony will be broadcast on HBO on May 18.
