Veteran prog rockers Rush will be honored for their years of excellence at the upcoming Revolver Golden Gods Awards ceremony. The Canadian band will receive the Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement award at the event, set to take place on April 11 at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. Jack Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D will present the 
honor, according to Ultimate Classic Rock.
“We are honored and delighted to receive this honor – especially because it will be presented by Jack and Kyle,” Rush drummer Neil Peart said. “Our ‘lifetimes’ are not over yet, and we dearly hope our ‘achievements’ are not either, so I suppose you could say that to us this is the ‘So Far, So Good’ award.”
Black also had this to say about Rush: “Rush was the most impressive band, musically, when I was just learning about rock. Weirdly, they got your body moving in interpretive-dancing ways, but it was still aggressive. Their stuff was just so complex and so tasty!”
