What do the prog-rock giants and the hip-hop legend have in common (other than membership in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame)? Well, probably not much. But, believe it or not, both bands have toured with San Francisco rockers Primus.

Primus was the opening act on the genre-crashing Anthrax/Public Enemy co-headlining tour of 1991. The following year, they played arenas opening for Rush. So Primus frontman Les Claypool is one of the only musicians to spend time on the road with both groups, and he says that both are fully deserving of the accolades that they received at the induction ceremony in Los Angeles last month.

The members of Primus have always worn their Rush influences on their sleeves; like the Canadian group, they are a power trio led by a bassist with an unusual singing voice who are influenced by hard rock and progressive music.

Claypool told Radio.com, “One of my first introductions to music as a teenager was Rush records.”And it showed, particularly early on in their career. Primus’ debut EP, 1989′s Suck On This, opens with 36 seconds of the band covering Rush’s classic instrumental “YYZ” before launching into their own “John The Fisherman.”

And while it is often said that you shouldn’t meet your idols, he reports that bonding with Rush has been a great experience for him and his band. “When I was 16, if you told me I’d be friends with Geddy, Alex and Neil, I would have s*** myself right there, literally,” he said. “To work with these guys and be friends with them, and to still be friends with them after all these years, it’s a pretty spectacular thing.”

He’s also glad to see that the band’s stock seems to have risen (in terms of credibility) in the past few years, which culminated with their long-awaited Rock Hall induction. But he notes that Primus were supporters when it wasn’t so cool to love Rush.

“Back when we were playing with them, we actually got a lot of flak from press, as to why we were playing with these guys, these progressive rock dinosaurs… this was in the ‘90s,” Claypool said. “But the fans thought it was the greatest thing! It makes me chuckle now, to see these bands that have come out in support of Rush after all these years, when they were remaining very quiet in the ‘90s when we were getting chastised for supporting them (laughs).”

The Stooges – “1969″ The Stooges debuted in ’69 with their classic self-titled LP, which featured this skull-crusher. “Another year for me and you, another year with nothing to do!” Well, there was nothing to do after June 3 of that year, at least if you were a Trekkie (a term which hadn’t yet been coined): That was the date that the show was cancelled. Years later, in 1997, Stooges frontman Iggy Pop appeared on the third Trek series, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, as Yelgrun, an “overseer” for the Dominion (those were the bad guys, for non-DS9 fans). (See a couple of Iggy’s scenes here.)

The Mamas & The Papas – “Monday Monday” Though Star Trek aired on Thursday nights at that time that “Monday Monday” hit No. 1 in 1966, there’s a line here that rings true: “Can’t trust that day!” Or at least NBC couldn’t, moving the show to the dead zone of Friday nights instead of just cancelling it. The cancellation moment came two season later, with the show returning nearly 20 years later in 1987 via Star Trek: The Next Generation. And you know who was there? Mamas & Papas singer Michelle Phillips, who played Jenice Manheim (Captain Picard’s ex-girlfriend) in the first season of the show. Boom. Circle complete.

Fleetwood Mac – “The Chain” Like Star Trek, Fleetwood Mac has proved remarkably enduring. Although the lineup (like Trek‘s Enterprise) has gone through many staff changes, like the Federation, drummer Mick Fleetwood (along with bassist John McVie) has remained a constant. While you can’t miss Fleetwood’s commanding presence behind the drums at the Mac’s concerts, you’d be forgiven for missing his appearance on the Next Generation season 2 episode “Manhunt” in 1989.  First off, he shaved off his omnipresent beard for the role. Second, his prosthetics rendered him unrecognizable. In this scene, he plays an Antedean dignitary who looks like a fish. Is that politically incorrect? Well, we got the idea from Lwaxana Troi, who exclaimed, “Delegates! Last time I saw something like that, it was being served on a plate!”

Rage Against The Machine- “Bulls On Parade” “Weapons, not home, not food, not shoes,” spits frontman Zach de la Rocha; it’s one of many songs where Rage stand up for the less fortunate. To be sure, in Gene Rodenberry’s Trek universe, there are haves and have-nots, but it is still an optimistic future where poverty seems to be eliminated and racism is rarely an issue (though it did pop up in the original series episode “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield”). That’s a future that guitarist Tom Morello no doubt hopes for, so it’s no surprise that he was a big fan of the show, and appeared in the 1998 film Star Trek: Insurrection (featuring the Next Generation crew), uncredited as a (heavily made-up and unrecognizable) Son’A officer.

Audioslave – “Original Fire” “The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on!” That may be a bit strong, but it’s sort of fitting: the Enterprise’s “five year mission” ended after three seasons in 1969, but the passion of the fans led to a return of Kirk, Spock and the rest of the crew in 1979′s Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Similarly, the disintegration of Rage Against The Machine didn’t stop Tom Morello, Brad Wilk and Tim Commerford, who stuck together to form Audioslave. But why are we including two Morello/Wilk/Commerford songs in a row? Because Morello had the good fortune to appear in two Treks. After Insurrection, he returned in more recognizable form on the 2000 episode of Star Trek: Voyager, as a crewman named “Mitchell.” Watch his scene here.

Brad Paisley – “Celebrity” Paisley is a noted Trek fan, and while he has never appeared on one of the TV shows or films, he did get Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner, to appear in this video. Paisley was also one of the many guests on Shatner’s 2011 album Seeking Major Tom (on a cover of the Steve Miller Band’s “Space Cowboy”).

“A Decade of Decibels The Photography of Joe Kleon” will open at Space: ROCK, 15721 Waterloo Road in Cleveland, Ohio, with a reception from 6-10 pm Friday June 7.

June 7 has special significance for Kleon: it’s his tenth wedding anniversary. And he bought his first professional-quality camera to take on his honeymoon with his wife Nicole.

PHOTO PREVIEW: “A Decade of Decibels: The Photography of Joe Kleon”

Kleon’s work grew out of his involvement in music. He was a radio announcer for 25 years, including a stint at WNCX, and worked as sound-effects tech for area Pink Floyd tribute band Wish You Were Here. He started shooting for photos for Wish You Were Here and quickly recognized his true passion and gift.

In the last ten years, Kleon has photographed nearly 100 shows and events a year. This exhibit will feature top-notch artists like Rush, Aerosmith, Judas Priest, Def Leppard, Slash, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Stevie Nicks, Joe Walsh, ZZ Top, and many more.

Kleon’s work has appeared in many newspapers, magazines, television commercials, and CD artwork.

While shooting concerts can be difficult and challenging, Kleon consistently produces shots that capture the artist’s personality and the excitement of the music in technically high-quality work.

“I love capturing the energy of a performance and the vibe of the venue,” he says. “I want viewers to be transported through my photos to the concert. I want them to feel the electricity in the air and the emotion of the music.”

Kleon tells us, “My favorite band to shoot was Rush, at Quicken Loans Arena, in October of 2012. They have been my favorite band since I was about 9 years old and shooting them was the ultimate “Rush!” Rush changed my life at a very young age and steered me toward a career in the music business. To have access to photograph them was a huge honor.”

But still a few bands remain on Joe’s photo bucket-list like “The Who, Rolling Stones, Robert Plant and country legend Roy Clark.”

A Decade of Decibels will run through the end of July. 25% of all sales will go to benefit the North Collinwood-based nonprofit Waterloo Alley Cat Project, which neuters and cares for feral cats. Space: ROCK is a project of nonprofit group Cleveland Rocks: Past, Present & Future.  The gallery, which opened April 2013, showcases Cleveland music history through the work of photographers and artists who recorded it. Open 1-5 p.m. Sat & Sun.

To find out more about Kleon and see some of his work, go to www.joekleon.com. Get more information on SPACE: Rock HERE.

Finally, Kleon offers advice for those looking to get into concert photography, saying, “Lots of local bands would be more than willing to let someone new to concert photography come out and shoot a show. Network with bands, find a few to shoot and expand from there. Once you have shot for a few months and have a decent portfolio of your best work, display it online and solicit bands for that first coveted paid gig!! Equipment does matter, especially when shooting shows in small clubs, with minimal lighting. However, you don’t have to spend thousands to get a good camera for concert shooting. Find a camera that does well with high ISO. Many mid range point and shoot cameras, for around $400-500 are a great place to start.”

While Chris Cornell got the honor of doing the presentation speech for Heart, Cantrell would have been a great choice to get on the mic as well. He has history with the group: Ann Wilson, along with Cornell and Mudhoney’s Mark Arm, provided guest vocals on Alice In Chains’ 1992 Sap EP. In 2005, three years after the death of Alice In Chains singer Layne Staley, the surviving AIC members performed at a benefit concert joined by a number of guest singers, including Ann Wilson. The following year, the band performed at a Heart tribute concert put on by VH1 Classic.

The night of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony, Cantrell told Radio.com that Heart has been influential to him on musical, professional and personal levels.

“They’ve influenced not only me, but a whole generation of Seattle musicians, and also musicians worldwide,” Cantrell said. “Their body of work stands the test of time, and the level that they operate on as musicians has not dropped one iota.  It’s humbling to be asked to be a part of this. They’re my friends, they’re my sisters. Just being around them, and getting to know them as people has been inspiring just on a human level. They’re one of the bands that made me want to do this. A band like Heart and musicians like Ann and Nancy show you the level that you should try to operate at.”

He was there for Heart, but there was one other classic rock act who he was excited to see inducted that night.

“Rush is an amazing band,” Cantrell said. “You want to talk  about the top level of musicianship, Rush is at the top of the list.  I spend a lot of hours spent trying to learn the riffs to those songs, ‘La Villa Strangiato,’ ’2112,’ ‘Fly By Night.’ Rush, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures were all really important records to me.” (Read more about Rush’s induction)
