- "Art as expression, not as market campaigns." The paradox of Permanent Waves is that it's one of my favorite albums despite the fact that none of the songs would be on my short list of favorites. I just think it's a great sounding album. This tour was also my first time seeing the band in concert at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, NY. We had to wax my friend's father's car in order to get him to drive us to the show. Covering this song is really a test of endurance; it's one of the tougher ones - for me anyway.
Notice how he is beat?! Imagine singing over top of that, playin taurus pedals, and ocassional keyboard interludes.Do that for 40 years, screaming on some songs. Touring endlessly and you get the magic of RUSH. Musicianship on High! Totem Pole to the bass player that needed a nap after that one!!! Kudos RUSH again. Neil is 60, and Geddy and Alex are 59, and we think we have aches and pains! Bless you all, hope more Rush-like bands will rear their ugly heads. A 70's joke, Geddy Lee is the Best paid Ugliest Woman in Rock. (Again it was a joke back then when they toured with Kiss). Still a fan and know they have a short time left, so I am going to enjoy it. Bass players beat hard! Guitarist strum along.
I love how you shake your wrist to get the tension out at about 2:04. Those straight eigths for that riff are no joke. I do the same thing at that point.
Yep. Me too
This stuff was over a lot of people's heads when it first came out...still is.
Thanks.
Rickenbacker phat as hell - one of the greatest songs of all times. This "isolated" look at the bass lines proves it.
Man after coming back and watching your videos after a couple years, your tone and technique are fantastic!
I absolutely love the growly bassline at 3:17 Nothing can top a Rickenbacker.
Thanks. The bridge is a Hipshot direct replacement bridge and the pickups are stock. The bridge pick up has an aftermarket "plate" around it that came from "Pick Guardian".
@constantine2112 Thanks. I'm proud of this cover in particular as it's pretty difficult and a test of endurance.
Thank you. That's my favorite part of the song as well - very powerful lyrics "Art as expression..."
No brian here. Yay! Great version! I learned most of this one a while ago,I have to go back and finish some of the little runs. This song is a real hand buster! Watching your version of this song made me realize that I missed some small details in it (the section starting at 3:39). Great learning. Thanks for that!
this song is a complete challenge for any bassist out there
and you nailed it.
congratulations my friend!

Thanks.

When I started playing I never used my pinky and it developed into a very bad habit. It's only recently that I started using it and it only works in conjunction with my middle finger. My ring finger served the pinky's function for so long they almost move as one now. That's awesome you're going to see them - it was a great show. Have a good time.
Awesome!!... one of my fav Rush tunes.... a great tribute to Geddy Lee.. remember he is also singing when he plays those incredibly intricate chords...again you are a fantastic bass player.. !
Thanks!
Fuck yeah.
@4eyed4stringer
Thanks. I played for many years without using my pinky at all so got adept as some awkward stretches. Congratulations on your Ric.
What a beautiful bass (with an incredibly warm tone as well).
Truly a great Job man...maybe my favorite rush song. You do it justice. I enjoy all of your videos.
Wonderful!
You, sir, are an inspiration.
I have a lot of respect for how you play. thanks for providing such an example.
Thanks a lot.
Awesome, one of my favorite tracks and so well played
One if my all time favorite Rush tunes and bass lines . Thanks Troy ! Oh and btw that Ric is top notch .
It's a great one, isn't it? Thanks.
You are certainly giving me motivation to play this one after a 20 year break from playing it, you are a perfectionist at your craft!
Awesome! Thanks so much.
Nice! That's a beautiful bass indeed.
Thanks.
Beautifully executed Troy. I really like the muting you do that defines your style. Nice Ricky too.
Wonderful playing!I absolutely love this tune.. expecially when the "science like natures must come.." part kicks in... so beautifull, gives me always such a joy...
We covered this song in high school. We were so proud of ourselves, then so disappointed when everyone was silent during and after the song. It is definitely an endurance song! Once again, great job:)
Thank you very much.
@Legionbass19
Thanks. This is a tough one - very fatiguing. My categorization puts "Caress..." in with the first two albums.
I've never tried to play this, but it looks like a hell of a challenge! Nice work as always.
What can you say? Perfection!!! Really dig your ability...
Thanks a lot.
Such a killer bass. Sick! Awesome playing also.
Thanks.
@ironrushscorp
Thanks. I'll have to check out what you mean by the "gigantic stretch" thing you mentioned. I used to play it down by the head stock and use the open D and G strings but this position is a little more comfortable and sounds a bit fatter.
@enjoidrums
Thank you. This album had some great bass on it.
Thank you.
Thanks a lot.
Great cover. Sounded amazing!
Thanks.
you rock man! thanks .. art as expression not as market campaigns!
Thanks.
great bass sound, too!
I've done a few songs by Kansas including "Song For America". I had heard of Starcastle but never actually heard anything by them. I listened to the link you sent me and they sound very good - very similar to YES to my ear - in a good way. I'm surprised they were not more popular.
Thank you so much...
@PMLonergan
Thanks you kindly.
@AJFedora
Thank you.
Great job Troy! I've been wanting to figure this song out since, well probably the early 80's, but never got around to it. Definitely requires proper finger-hand technique. You said it "endurance".
+seaskiff20 Thanks.
Thanks. Don't be afraid to try to play something over your current skill level. Just be patient and don't get discouraged, work on small segments at a time - with time, patience and practice it will come.
Troy, how long did this one take you to get down?
Congrats man!...every single note
Thanks a lot.
This is great! I've been checking your covers recently. Natural Science is one of my favorite Rush songs. And I have to agree with your comment about the paradoxes presented in the album is filled with insightful. :)
Thanks a lot.
@coosomo I though about that. Maybe I could trim some of the middle part out. But don't give up on Dog Years, now that I've figured out how to file a dispute I could possibly do it for you. I'd still need to learn it and make sure I could do a good job on it.
Jacob's Ladder is on my short short list. Top 5 somewhere but I don't wanna have to think too hard about it.
Greatly played sir!
Unusual hand technique but that's cool!
@criterion55
Thank you very much.
Great job.
I use to swear that the drum break at 2:03 was so that Geddy could rest / shake out his hand like you did. :)
I do the exact same thing at that point in the tune.
Right hand just aching at that point.
Of course Ged does it AND sings. just sick.
Thanks.
I am always grateful for that little break.
specifically, it's 2:32 to 2:36. It's a half beat late start on a relatively simple riff, but for some reason my brain won't accept it ha ha. There are other sections in the song of similar difficulty. You have impressed upon me to work out the "small details" just like Ed Norton said to Ralph. I really love playing this song, and I would love it more if I could play it correctly. Yes, it will come. In the meantime, I will enjoy your upload.
Very well played, sir !
You have helped me immeasurably. Thank you. PS ...Those masks are the coolest. :)
2:05 Yeah, I am cramping up by that point too.
Awesome brother... Rush and your wonderful Bass... muito foda...
Thanks.
2:04 - I've been there man lol
@themacallen Thanks.
Nice brother.............
AMAZING COVER..... you deserve much more than 145 likes =)
Do you think you could perhaps, maybe, possibly, consider, doing a full band cover of this song like you did with Entre Nous, Limelight, and Time Stand Still? I love this song and those covers were stupendous! Just think about. Please
@raelkid
Thanks!
This is true.
@bozzaa This is a tough one. This was my first concert as well at about the same age.
Eight plus years and no negative votes so far... Humankind is not still hopeless.
Shhhhhh...the Mad-Thumbdowner probably just missed this one.
No problem, just keep at it.
Cool.
@feedingfiction
I use it a little bit now a days but never used to use it at all.
@EMLonergan
Yeah, it's a little bit of a stretch there.
The cool thing about playing along to Rush is you have a built-in click track- Neil Peart.
That's one purty axe, man.
@tepes22b
It's much easier now that I've worked my pinky into the operation. I used to play it with just the 3 fingers on my left hand - talk about cramping.
Cheers!
@barnabas50
Thanks.
@Heinkey
The Jazz bass.
I'll give it some thought.
Dude you are fricken insane.
@omarkaya42
Thanks.
@wnils Yea, the "quantum leap forward" part is grueling.
That little thing that you do in 2:22 for me it's impossible, it's way too fast. Perfect cover as always anyway :)
@lapirata77
Cool.

I would love to know what your favorite RUSH songs are? Your videos are awesome by the way!
Awesome job, man. I'm having a difficult time getting the 2:30 to 2:40 section, my brain just doesn't want to accept the off-time sequences ha ha.
@vineyardedge
This is a very tough one. Thank you Valerie. How ya doing?
2:04. Oh yeah, that hurts.
Man, I'd love to see you play along with some of the early Kansas stuff. "The Pinnacle" or "Song For America" comes to mind. Also, are you by chance a fan of Starcastle?
Need more low end on that Ricky for this vid....great job though. Thanks for entertaining us Gary Lee Heinrich fans!
Very good. HOW do you stretch your index and 2nd fingers like that?? I was trying to figure out the position you were playing in, and that threw me! I have to do that little hammer lick with 1 and 3. Great tone, by the way. I just ordered a 4003 mapleglo this week. I hope I can make it sound like you do!
@fabin69 Thank you. I collect masks and horror related items.
As always, great to listen to and to watch.
If you don't mind, I'm trying to find the video where you posted a link to your old-days band, which I really liked when I heard. Too bad I can't find the link and don't have it saved... would you share it with me, please? I'd like to listen to it while I work :)
Great playing. Also, I just ordered a 4003S. Based on experiences with yours, what should I expect? Kinda fishing for opinions.
@TJH3113 Yes........tis' I.
@TJH3113
I play the song on the bass myself, and I it always hurts like hell right exactly at that point.
Anyone ever told you you look like Richard Greer? Back to the music. Thanks for your detailed talented playing. Another question. Do you learn these songs by ear or written music or both? thanks. Sounds great.👍
No. Richard Geer is a first. Simon Cowel... many times, and some others as well. I am self-taught and play by ear and memory. Thanks and take care, Hector!
I started off with Schism by Tool.
I like Geddy myself.
Thanks.
Do you mean the 1:30 to 1:40 section? Keep at it, eventually it will sink in.
