I'm 56 and this is the music I grew up on, I truly appreciate your show and I can't say enough how much I get a kick out of the young generation today hearing for the time what it is that old guys are talking about when we reminisce about the music. It's seems to me that the music of my time had more feeling more soal and more identity than the music of today. Who knows maybe it's just me.
It's rather pleasing that you began getting familiar with Neil, his works,... and his magical drum kit, prior to his passing (rather than after). I'd also think he sensed the complementary nature in your reactions/reviews.
So awesome that you discovered the gift of Rush! Welcome to the world of Rush. Your life and what you perceive about it is going to change forever. IN A VERY GOOD WAY! Thanks for the kind words to one of my hero’s.
Wonderful reaction~! So many suggestions to view and react to shows what an impact Neil made. Everyone, from those playing air drums or those who have the kit can all agree that he truly was that pulse to the soundtrack of songs many have in our minds. I believe "Fly By Night" is very suiting. There is an "official" video here. Keep up the great reactions. New subscriber here. :)
You are spot on about the lyrics. I remember seeing them do this whole album live before in was released and was blown away. Thanks for the love. RIP Professor.
Hey Scribe! Those are called wood blocks I think. If you want a serious dose of THE MAGICAL DRUM SET, have you seen the Neil solo Frankfurt? 2004 I think. You WILL BE floored. Saw him do that live several times. What a blessing. Peace, Phil
You're correct, Scribe. The Trees exemplifies that we all have different natural attributes and "inequality" in certain respects, doesn't mean "inferiority." Communism is a perfect example; all are equally miserable and poor under control of a government. "....for they passed a noble law and the trees are ALL kept equal by hatchet, axe and saw." Neil was a master lyricist/story-teller. RIP, Neil.
Happy Monday beautiful goddess! Another great reaction to one of my favorite bands with one of the GOATs of drumming. Not only I'm glad to be an universal black rock musician but also love your inspiration, your beauty and letting me know that I can keep my dream going at age 37 (going on 38 in October). And also, this is one of my favorite Rush songs too.
@@velistanisic7486 Thank you for checking out the instrumental. And that would be amazing for her to do Weekend Nights because I'm having trouble coming up with the lyrics LOL!
@@UniversalBlackRocker Lyrics are not easy. That's why I have so much respect for Neil, my favourite writer. What a huge loss. I try and come up with my own music and lyrics. I just have ruff demo's, nothing finished.
@@velistanisic7486 That's pretty cool. And I have respect for Neil too. It is a huge loss. Nearly 4 years after David Bowie's passing too. But I really do think that Scribe can sing and rap over it and that would make me feel happy.
..YES...finally someone who knows the diff between "wood blocks" and "temple blocks" as a guitarist, i learned this from Peart inspired drummers....i mean, drummers
@@TANTRUMGASM The reason I know they are Temple Blocks is way way back when I bought Hemispheres on Vinyl, as I'm putting side one, I'm reading the liner notes where it's listed under Neil. I'm like what is this? When I heard The Trees the first time. Im like this must be them. Down the line years later, I came to understand what exactly they were
Another heartfelt and sincere tribute Scribe, THANKS for your appreciation of good music & musicians! I know you dig some Ska and Reggae, so a GREAT Rush song to react to would be “ Digital Man” off of the Signals album. I guarantee you will rock your..socks off girl!! R.I.P. Neil...
It's too bad you never got the chance to see them live. I saw them live twice, and they more than lived up to their reputation. They just kept doing one amazing thing after another. And there was a vibe about them that made you feel like you were tuned in to another world, another level of existence where everything was more real than real, and you had access to all kinds of subtle truths. Very few musicians can make that happen. Rush did it consistently for 40 years. I'm glad you found them, and the others your do reactions to. I'm glad you have the ears and the heart to hear this.
RIP what a gigantic hole in the world of music. He was the best but did not hold it over anyone. Humble and helped many others. I saw them perform THE TREES live & it was awesome. A friend was lucky enough to get a set of drumsticks from Neil. I tried to steal them, but alas I failed 😢 This is such an awesome song that is not reacted to much. It is my favorite Rush song, so thank you.
Scribe, you are the best! Love watching you react to Rush. I have heard every song in their catalogue hundreds of times some songs thousands of times and I still laugh in amazement at what Neil, Geddy, and Alex were able to do. Great song and I look forward to air drumming with you in the next Rush reaction... Maybe Jacob's Ladder?
. if you choose not too decide you still have made a choice. I Will never forget you Neil. thank you miss for doing this, it gives you wider ranging atmospheres to see them cities of light when you open your eyes on the passage to Bangkok, enjoy.
My simplified interpretation of "Trees": The 'oaks' are the USA and the 'maples' are Canada - national flag emblem is a red maple leaf. Instrumental (partial) interpretation: Neil's rapid-fire striking of the wooden blocks is probably representing a woodpecker because based on my experience with woodpeckers, they love to rapidly peck for insects inside telephone poles - which are formed from maple trees.
Well, it's about oppression, yes, but there is a warning at the end! That to achieve equality, even with all the mechanisms of civil society (like unions and laws) there is often an accompanying element of violence. Peart's lyrics are the deepest, and they rock.
no you don't need to say more... however what you do need to do, right now, is to do "Xanadu" from Exit Stage Left 1981. That's the reaction I want to see from you as you're really starting to pick up on all the subtleties that he's injecting into the song … His drumming on this will blow your mind.
Exactly. The version done around same time live is best. I saw Rush in 76 77 78 etc live. The versions from this period way better. More accurate with the full solos and opening. If you seen them live doing this in 77 like I did and then 80's 90's 2000's you know the difference.
Girl, if you want to see Neil work his magic on his magical drum kit, you need to check out his live drum solo! That man literally hits almost every piece of equipment he has, and makes such beautiful music with just the drums! You can feel his experience and longevity on the kit! He is the PROFESSOR on the drums!!! Love your reactions!!! Keep rocking!!! If you want a long and banging Rush song to play try, “Hemispheres” from the same album as the song the “Trees” is on. R.I.P Neil
What’s great about this song is it can be interpreted multiple ways. The way Neil created it was he found the idea of trees acting human as Humorous. He was reading a comic in the newspaper IIRC. Also, check out Xanadu on ESL (Exit Stage Left.) it’s an amazing performance. Red barchetta was also great.
You should check out Dream Theater. I would recommend Instrumedley from their live show in tokyo in 2002(?) I think it was. It's a great performance, amazing musicianship. Great content, It's cool to see someone actually enjoy the music. Rush is timeless, no matter what song you pick it's great stuff.

I love it how much you enjoy it because its exactly how Rush makes me feel. RIP Neil Peart.😥🤘
I'm so glad that you get Rush.
Love love your reactions. You really feel, admire and appreceate their music.
Cheers from a french Canadian
“Bang that magical drum set with them fiftyleven drums.” Cracked me up.

@Michel Hammock - I hear you, fella...
I'm 30 but have been listening to rush since I was 17
I love this song.
Loved this reaction. You're right on about the song. RUSH 🤘🏽🤘🏽💯💯 #RiPNeil
Rush - Witch Hunt
Love this! Celebrating Neil's life is such a great way to remember him and keep alive the magic that he embodied
OMG u are the best LOL thanks for making me laugh and smile because it SUX that Neil's gone.
This is the right video to see. Thanks. Perfect.
Hey there, great channel from a fellow musician drummer; thanks for reviewing the great Neil Peart
This young lady is so sharp. Since she is a musician she has more insight and appreciation for a song. Respect to you.
No doubt, she's definitely a step above other reaction youtubers.
Musician???? Good one
What does she play? The cow bell?
Bullshit
@@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530 maybe the skin flute... thats about it
Thank you for doing one of my all time favorite songs
It’s obvious you are knowledgeable in music and drums. I love your comments on their hair. Geddy’s looked especially straight and shiny here.
Nice. Great tribute for Neil. 🌲 is my fav Rush song.

Rest in Peace "Professor".
Never will be another band like Rush.

Let's rock N Roll!!! RIP Neal! Thanks so much for celebrating Neal's life. Magical drum sticks ready!
"Closer to the Heart" deserves a listen too.
You are a darling. So awesome seeing the joy that you get from the great music of Rush.
Hit them licks Neil!!!
You just made day, you have incredible music taste!!
Thanks so much for this special tribute. Hope we can do another one. SO SPECIAL!!!!
EXIT THE WARRIOR 😇🇨🇦
Very nice!
I agree, but there are Subdivisions. We should Fly by Night and find the Spirit of the Radio
Much prop to you for honoring the Professor. Peart was a one of a kind master.

welcome to the rush family.
I do admire her energy and enthusiasm. She definitely knows how to pay tribute one of the greatest percussionists of all time.
Thanks for this you are the only one who deserves all of your likes and followers

Do the man justice and honor him with a reaction to his "Der Trommler" drum solo. Over eight minutes of pure, drum fury.
Awesome Scribe. Thanks. Love how much you appreciate this band. RIP Neil. Master Professor.
One of the Best and Insightful reactions i've ever seen!:) Neil Peart and Rush Rule!:)
Nice tribute to his memory. RIP Neal Peart !
The sound you're hearing is Neal playing wooden gongs. You will hear this also on their song Xanadu.

Neil is hitting temple blocks, which are tuned and made of wood. Very unique percussive instrument.
Hope that helps 🥁

@@scottshields113 Me too. That and Exit Stage Left footage.
He has an entire tree of wood and temple blocks. She heard the difference between them and I am i loving it

Have to agree that La Villa Stringiato and Xanadu from Exit Stage Left are the pinnacle performances you are interested in. Love to Neil. Thanks.

We are in need of A farewell To Kings. It's a classic that you dont see many reactions to.
Neil is a one man percussion section for real. Those are wood blocks
Scribe you had me laughing all the way through the whole video. You're so funny. Lol!
Greatest drummer ever. Up there with the other 2 or 3 legends.
You are hilarious, I know your into music, but with your personality you can host an award show. No limitations for you girl. Great reaction always
ScribeCash, you have a great voice. When can we expect a Rush cover from you? Get on it. Sales of their music is up 2000%.
great reaction...you know your rush
DAMMMM. Geddy tears the Bass up in this. Way better than studio.
. if you choose not too decide you still have made a choice. I Will never forget you Neil. thank you miss for doing this, it gives you wider ranging atmospheres to see them cities of light when you open your eyes on the passage to Bangkok, enjoy.
One of my favs let's get it, fire one up n press play😂😂😂
you need to watch one of his drum solos from Rush in Rio or R30 tour or David Letterman
My simplified interpretation of "Trees": The 'oaks' are the USA and the 'maples' are Canada - national flag emblem is a red maple leaf.
Instrumental (partial) interpretation: Neil's rapid-fire striking of the wooden blocks is probably representing a woodpecker because based on my experience with woodpeckers, they love to rapidly peck for insects inside telephone poles - which are formed from maple trees.
I'm drumming along with you!
Great reaction per usual! Check out La Villa Strangiato! It's almost like an intro to this song. Same sound.
Thank you 👍
Such an amazing song!!!
you're amazing.
Rush - Losing It
5:30 He's hitting wood blocks. Usually 5 or 6 tuned blocks. Appropriate for a song about trees don't ya think?
Well, it's about oppression, yes, but there is a warning at the end! That to achieve equality, even with all the mechanisms of civil society (like unions and laws) there is often an accompanying element of violence. Peart's lyrics are the deepest, and they rock.
4:50 to about 5:20 are tuned woodblocks! I had a 6 piece. Neil made 25 pieces sound like 3 people. 🙏 👀
Also ,you go girl. It's amazing to me when someone says they don't care for RUSHES music. Many there not really listening?
Let's go Neil!!!
U know he was the main song writer
You need to do Xanadu. Live exit stage left to really see him use all of the magical drum set!
This tune is off of the album, Hemispheres, and it was released in 1978...
Nice video and tribute
Those are Temple Blocks that he's hitting in the mellow section.
They are "temple blocks", made of wood. The differnt sizes give them a different tone.
Those are called Temple Blocks. Neil was so innovative in how he incorporated percussive instruments.
no you don't need to say more... however what you do need to do, right now, is to do "Xanadu" from Exit Stage Left 1981. That's the reaction I want to see from you as you're really starting to pick up on all the subtleties that he's injecting into the song … His drumming on this will blow your mind.
I agree !!!
That's the one. The band using full instrumentation and really seeing Neil playing all that extensive, tuned percussion
THIS!!
As a hippy, I LOVE The Trees.
No more oppression!
Have you done La Villa Strangiato? If not let's get it.
Rio version!
Official video version is the best. Recorded live and at the same time as this video was recorded.
Exactly. The version done around same time live is best. I saw Rush in 76 77 78 etc live. The versions from this period way better. More accurate with the full solos and opening. If you seen them live doing this in 77 like I did and then 80's 90's 2000's you know the difference.

Dang girl..mellow out
Anything from the Clockwork Angels tour show is excellent. Their last tour together was R40. I saw both in Portland OR. 🙂
Please react to his drum solo in Frankfurt❤️
The one from Rio has the drum world of Brazil in worship mode...so intense
Best drum solo ever and it was literally just a soundcheck
The magical drumset is poppin on that one
Hell yeah !!!
Awesome reaction, please do Afterimage by Rush. One of my favorites and fitting for this moment. Thanks
“Vital Signs” one of their best songs ever. Really deep on the lyrics though, might need to ave them play along for those that are new to Rush.
Please do Didacts and Narpets. Early rush from 75. Basically a 2 plus minute drum solo from the man with magical drum kit.
Scribe got my scribe with this one

Also, check out Xanadu on ESL (Exit Stage Left.) it’s an amazing performance. Red barchetta was also great.
He’s playing the “Temple Blocks”...that’s the wooden sound you hear ,and you’d asked what it was he was playing...
Neil Ellwood Peart September 12, 1952 - January 7, 2020 #neilpeart #thegreatestdummerever #theprofessor #bubba
He was a well read. man ad its Neal P (EAR) T
Wood blocks. Each vary in tone do to their sizes.
Temple blocks
Thanks Scribe!
He is hitting "Roto-toms" in that soft section. They are small, tunable drums that usually come in 3s, and are set before the larger Toms on the kit.
You should check out Dream Theater. I would recommend Instrumedley from their live show in tokyo in 2002(?) I think it was. It's a great performance, amazing musicianship.

Cool.
Wood blocks are a percussion instrument.
Agreed. It is a song about conflict and oppression. Classism may also be a theme.
It's a good one and instrumental
