According to a posting on the
RUSH fan site
Power Windows,
RUSH bassist/vocalist
Geddy Lee and
MOTÖRHEAD frontman
Lemmy Kilmister are among the musicians interviewed for the
"Ringers: Lord of the Fans" DVD, an award-winning film which charts the incredible influence and ripple-effect that
"Lord of the Rings" has had on worldwide pop culture over the past five decades. Having demonstrated he is a "Ringer" in the song
"Rivendell", a brief glimpse of
Geddy live on stage is included in the film's
trailer.

TheOneRing.net,
Geddy's "heartfelt comments on the power of
J.R.R. Tolkien's stories make it easy to understand how the world of rock and roll was forever changed by

Geddy Lee (
RUSH) and
Lemmy Kilmister (
MOTÖRHEAD) quickly came on board, explaining first-hand how the rock scene shifted under the weight of Tolkien's high-fantasy influence....The heartbeat of
'Ringers' is in its rock soundtrack, and the director wanted nothing less than wall-to-wall music. [Editor
Arnaud Gerardy] carefully edited to the rhythm of
LED ZEPPELIN's
'Ramble On' and
RUSH's
'Rivendell'..."
