Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan recently sat down with both Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush to talk about their new album Clockwork Angels for FMQB.
According to Lee and Lifeson, the new album breaks new ground in their ever growing musicianship:
"We don't leave much room for jamming or a momentary burst of inspiration, but we did on this last tour, and we noticed that we kind of went to a really fun and interesting and a little bit dangerous place some nights. We just kind of elevated the thing into a new zone of intensity. Furious was the best way to describe it."
Corgan later asked Lifeson to speak on the band's far-reaching influence on rock music:
"It's a wonderful compliment to have passed along something. The role of teacher is quite an honorable one."
