THANK YOU,
Martin.
Paul is Fu%&* John Wick, he can kill people with -pencil- 3 Strings Guitar. YOU ARE BREATHTAKING PAUL. GOD BLESS HIM !
drummer is on fire.
Does your drummer's coffee contains cocaine in it !!
just kidding.
please invite yngwie j malmsteen
Mr. Miller, can you please introduce your bass player??? He’s outstanding!!!!
you should put these covers in spotify? :)
You all did an "okay" job, but this one goes the the "human capo"! He DESTROYED this session! Amazing!
That guy is a nut! Literally! :-)
@@andrewryder1319 that pun was so bad i had to give it a thumbs up.
@@eddyguizonde401 :-)
@google owns you :-)
google owns you if at first you don’t get a pun, don’t fret. It will come in time.
I've played this song for years because it's the only Rush song I can sing.:)
I don't know, I bet you can do La Villa Strangiato with a little practice.😉
@@jonlate4581 live version has geddy vocals :)
@@jonlate4581 or Leave That Thing Alone.
Me too!!! Love the lyrics!
Have you seen the Rush in Rio dvd? The crowd does a pretty good job on the vocals.
"How good are you?"
"Paul Gilbert plays rhythm for me"
That made me laugh harder than it should have
lmao!
Good one!!
Mr. Miller, I'm a retired session player with Atlantic Records, you SIR are a rare gift in music and I've played with Rush in the late 70's... AWESOME
2:53 Martin’s solo lives rent free in my head, and it’s incredible that he can so confidently in front of Paul Gilbert!
Literally the perfect solo.
Every human in this studio killed it, but Felix Lehrmann (the drummer) killed it, buried it, exhumed it and hanged it again like it was Oliver Cromwell.
Whoah. It's weird and awesome to run into one of your favorite TH-cam chefs in a Rush cover vid.
Oh hey Adam, didn't expect you to be here
Next level commentary skills. You found a way to successfully include a reference to the Lord Protector in Rush tribute performance. Felix is the boss.
Yeah, because the best way to “kill it” is to add all kinds of unnecessary fills to arguably the best drummer ever’s magnum opus.
@@Vnachi8 and almost all of them predictable, square and repetitive.
2:27 first time in my 50 years on this planet where I can say I’ve now witnessed a “Human Capo” 👍🏻👍🏻
Check out Paul's instrumental Get Out of My Yard.
There’s a Mr Big concert on TH-cam ( from Budokan ? ) where Paul and Billy Sheehan play doublenecked guitar and bass with Eric Martin and Pat Torpey play the parts of human capos.
Also Steve Vai does it in a G3 concert 😅❤ the song is called "I know you're here" or something like that
A studio guy did that for me for a clean part that needed extreme precision, it's a fun cooperation process i must say ! :)
Check out Allan Holdsworth's Road Games (Live in Japan). Maybe not exactly a human capo, but a mute for legato iirc
God, i can't believe it the way you play this Rush title. Such a difficult ,hard and complete band to cover. You're absolutaly smashing guys. Guitars, and the mad killer drummer! Much respect! We love it! I love it!
You guys HAVE to do a Rush Medley.
I would be able to die happy.
+1
+10. Would love to see Tom Sawyer and Spirit of Radio. Felix for me is just a legend on the drums, sucks that he is left handed, which messes with my brain
Yes! And the intro should be 'Xanadu'
Sure.🔥
It'd be SOOOO amazing!
2:53 what a well arranged solo , Martin and Kiko Loureiro are my two favorite modern guitar players.
Kiko is the man! I love doing Angra covers his solo stuff is solid. When I found out he was gonna be in megadeth i was mind blown.
The drummer did the utmost just job to the song. Bravo, bravo..
Yousef DQR - yeah. I’m not a drummer but that guy seemed to be killing it..Never seen anybody but Neil play this song.
He's amazing!
As a drummer I can say he damn well nailed it! But also an unusually loud props to the bassplayer; a bit on the soft side in the mix but absolutely killing Lee's fills
@@darkwaver517353 Yes indeed. It has an uncanny rich depth to it's sound. For fuck sake everything sounds superb in the mix!!!
agree. what a momentum he has!
the drummer is just incredible. Wow......not the "average" cover to handle at all let alone completely just OWN it! Well done brothers.
I'm 50 year old drummer, this makes inspired to keep playing for another 50 years of my life.
Paul Gilbert's solo was insane. Incredible musicians all around.
This song can also be played by three Canadians
so many people in the room I thought it was going to be a rap video
kush king if I want to hear YYZ I have the recording.
@@luminositymusicbrianpricka6357 Moving pictures is a must have record in everyone's album collection
True, not the original, and no one can ever reproduce the original, but this is *VERY* worthy cover, I grant them permission.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Man, that drummer was tremendous.
Yes but he disrespects the professor by doing his own thing.
I think Mr. Peart would be proud of what he saw
@@neilaspinall9399 yeah that's what I'm feeling too,he was throwing in superfluous fills and triplets,it's like saying Neil wasn't good enough
I had mixed feelings. I love this drummer; not as much as I love NP, of course. Hearing him add his own flavors was like someone having you try a new ingredient in a recipe: it might be bacon bits in brownies, but each to his own tastes.
@@bloodsling NO drummer could EVER say that!Niel reigned supreme,and we'll NEVER see another musician like him.I don't see Octobons,2 bass drums,or a xylophone on this guy's kit.
When I listen to Rush I can hear were bands like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Meshugga and hundreds of others bands got their inspiration from. Rush truly were one for the ages!!
Megadeth is straight thrash I mean dream theater yes & that's all you have
@@sheldonmontgomery9767 Megadeth is very technical though. You don't have to be prog to be inspired by Rush.
@@sheldonmontgomery9767 Dave Mustaine has so many lifeson-isms in his playing such as chord choice and even some of his structural choices. And btw. RIP is prog
@@sheldonmontgomery9767 megadeth is probably the least thrash band from the big 4. besides just listen to the drumming, sounds straight from peace sells or rust in piece.
It's funny, because when I listen to Rush, I can hear Zep, Yes, Deep Purple, and others. They were probably tighter than any of those, but still, I can hear where they came from.
Looking at so many people performing this song we can confirm that Rush was owesome.
That was one of the tastiest solos I’ve ever heard. Honored the spirit of Rush quite well
This was really not at all like the original, and that's what I really liked about it. I love RUSH and the original YYZ, but I can hear that anytime. This was a fun, tight, inspired reimagining of the song, and Paul Gilbert was having a blast!
was there a bit of zappa in the mix.
I super agree! However the same sentiment was not felt by the pink Floyd fans haha. The Martin Miller band is my favourite band and they’re not even a band lol!
Whenever I hear a different version of YYZ, I’m always struck by how great of a song it is. I’ve heard the Rush version so many times now that I just take it for granted. So good!
I came for the title, but stayed for the sheer artistry and professionalism.
Well i stayed for the capo guy
Smiles on the faces of Martin and Felix at the end was priceless, having accomplished something in a space that few musicians seek to occupy.
RUSH has been my favorite band for many years. This cover is fantastic, the guitar solo is beautiful and Felix is an amazing drummer.
I made it to the 5 second mark on my phone before stopping playback and declaring to myself "To the studio monitors!!"
Rob Michael lol my thoughts too. I went to my hifi for this instead of playing on the phone.
@@fdude555 You should never play music through your phone speaker. That's illegal!
😂😂
Playing good music through phone speakers is sacrilege
Fuckin aye right!
Mr. Lehrmann just KILLED it on the drums! Excellent performance.
He almost got it
Paul Gilbert is Really Amazing! Thank You For Purposley Imaging Such Awesome Experiences! 100 Percent Devotion Created Talent! Truly a Gift To All Listeners Senses! 🎸🎼🌎🌍🌏🌈
Excellent! Thank you.
These musicians are off the chart I am literally blown Away and I'm burning my guitar 😪
Martin millers licks are so melodically awesome...
I've seen rush live and this is without a doubt incredible and pays absolute respect to music in general. Innovative and incredible. I'm a huge fan of your band.
Paul: i forgot my capo.
Speak no more.
@Лоло Козлов you can say you played with Gilbert
Everyone is so talented, but that drummer, OMG. In every video he just kills it!
As a drummer, and a big Neil fan, i like how the drummer didn't play exactly how Neil did. Made it his own!
That was a turn off for me. Peart's version was perfection. Why mess with it?
@@TheSwamper because it's their version of the song? Why not mess with it,they are putting their own spin on it,it's never going to sound like the original so might aswell have some fun with it !!
@@TheSwamper why do a cover at all then?
@@TheSwamper would you rather hear, which often happens with covers, the drummer messing up "signature fills", nuances etc or would you rather hear something new and interesting? I'd be more upset with the aforementioned than someone bringing a different, fresh perspective.
@@ElrondHubbard_1 a lot of folks can't understand that covers aren't really supposed to be 100% exact. You should see how upset some get when the people who WROTE THEIR SONG deviate from the original.
I really enjoy them playing!! The drummer is extraordinary!!
Love "cover tunes" that are Not note-for-note, where the players can add their personalities in with respect to the originals.
sonofmogh I like the way you move! I love a good cover especially if it is different. I also love your name baha.
Search for Cake's version of War Pigs, live or studio. Pays homage but they make it their own.
th-cam.com/video/YZxSEkwpD0w/w-d-xo.html
@@baldyslapnut. that was amazing
Unless the players have nothing good to add to the particular tune...
@sonofmogh Qa'pla!
Best version of this song so far. The drummer is amazing, Paul and Martin does a great job on guitars. Great sound too. Congratulations !
the drummer was the happiest of the lot . can see it . he was like "finally! the song that I've always wanted to play so much on this show"
You know, I come here time to time. Every month or two. On many Martin's videos. It's a treasure of modern guitar world.
It’s only me who like the solo of Martin Miller ??? Soul speaks in his solo.
He is an incredible guitarist.
nah it ain't only you. that was melodic and shred all bundled up in a velvet tone. top notch
Not at all. His solo was something else. Skillful and melodic, tough combo to execute well and even harder on such a wonderful classic song with a great original solo. I really thought his interpretation was beautiful.
Daniel Nowlan you are right but try to watch his skills in all the way . I am talking precisely after the solo of Paul Gilbert
It was terrific.
Wow, that drummer is incredible!
i like the fact that they did their own take on this iconic instrumental and not copy it note for note....wait whoa, slide on YYZ waaaaaat. bravo!
I watch this every day ….it inspires me to be a better player
WOW !!! A group of professional musicians on the top of their game , this blew me away guys ....
Bass is criminally quiet for a rush cover
Weak is the word.
And the drummer is “Being more Neil than Neil was”. Settle down man and just play the part.
waay too much keyboard also... but beautiful all the same!
@@zot2676 Agreed. Sounds pretty cheesy.
they didn't do a 1 to 1 recreation of the original song and that makes me mad.
I'm kinda in love with Paul Gilbert, he's adorable and such a great guitarist
have never clicked so fast on anything in my life
yoo adam !
Oh so you’re a rush fan
"...and this is why I tune myself and not the guitar."
Never thought I'd find you here Mr. Season the cutting board not the steak.
Btw love your vids
Look who it is !
I am 100% sure Alex and Geddy smiled watching this. So did Neil, who was in the studio as a spirit. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The drummer man......awesome playing...bravo
Felix earned his pay on that one! The Professor is looking down on you!
barely got those bass harmonics in there....nice :) The drummer was so ecstatic to get all the way through...quite an accomplishment.
Hey Martin
Please make a Medley of Rush
Time stand still
Subdivisions
Tom Sawyer
Limelight
Open secrets
The Spirit of the Radio
Cheers from Sao Paulo Brazil
I think there might need to be three Rush medleys to cover each time period. This band are amazing!
Camera Eye and YYZ too pleaaase :D
Stick it Out, 2112, Cygnus X-1, La Villa Strangiato, Leave That Thing Alone, Witch Hunt, etc... ANYTHING by Rush please more RUSH
Freewill and fly by night!
Prime mover??
Fantastic!!!! And RUSH did all this with only 3 musicians !!! Seeing a presentation of this magnitude you can understand the musical and technical quality of RUSH !! Congratulations!!!
A great watch. Thank you. You can't not enjoy watching Paul Gilbert enjoy playing with other musicians. 👍
Drummer is a freaking metronome. Perfect timing
OMG that was freakin’ phenomenal by everyone!!
2:25 🤯 Only Paul can come up with something that cool!
I am so happy I still have time to listen to amazing music my Children send me!
Man, Paul playing the melody with a slide is so amazing.
Absolute classic and done with pride. Keep doing what you're doing. And I second the van halen medley idea!
Holy shit.
Also, count me as one of those clamoring for a King Crimson video.
Spencer Ellsworth Yes!
@ and yes
Yes!
Yess that'd be amazing!
- Red
- Elephant Talk
- Larks Toungues in Aspic Part 2
I dare you!!!!
If their instruments were oranges, they wrung every last drop of sweet juice out of them!
Love Paul Gilbert!!!!!
Best cover song I ever heard
Doing a Rush cover is a no win situation because the songs are so epic, well known and with the Rush loyalists fans that expect every not to be the same always, adding a personnal touch to it might even be consider as blashemy. I command you by having the guts of taking the song to different places. Very well done, indeed!
RIP Niel Peart 😥🙁😪♥️♥️♥️
Xendava I bet Neil would be proud of this drummer.
@@tangchengwu4923 ......I think you're right friend.
😢
Felix Lehrmann is a beast of a drummer. Thoroughly enjoy watching these sessions, and Felix's smile every time he hits something. Makes me want to go pick up my guitar and play.
And yes, I'm sure Peart would be proud. :'(
@@nightflight81 ...I'm a guitar player too. Isn't it amazing how a good drummer or singer or bass player can inspire people like us who play guitar.
What a great drummer. Laying down the tracks for the other musicians to give their best performance. This guy is really good.
I would also like to hire that guy as my human capo.
Not all heroes wear capos
I thought it was neck massage.
@@Discrimination_is_not_a_right You could call it a reacharound.
We can talk about pricing, if you want 😁
@@NicoSchliemann My god! What a humble answer man! Love you.
“I played with Paul Gilbert, it was a dream come true!”
“Oh wow! What instrument did you play?”
“His, uh, capo....”
Lol great jam, I can only hope to achieve such excellence as capo guy has. 👍
😂😂😂
@@tonyflorez3753 Nico Schliemann!
The big grin and thumbs up at the end of the capo's tenure was very satisfying
The Ultimate VAN HALEN medley would be possible?? :)
Please3eee
OH MY GAAAAAAAAWD! YESSSSSSSS!!!!!
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!
OMG YES!
$
Dustin Punks it’s fair....they’re incredible
One minute and Felix is KILLING IT on drums already... those rolls!!!
and they all made it look so easy. 👊🏾
Other guitarists: Switch guitars between songs.
Paul Gilbert: Switches guitars between bars.
Absolutely insane cover. Everybody in the band simply kills their instrument so it is not appropriate to single out anybody. PG is my fave guitar player of all times and that magic he starts pulling out at 02:24 is out of this world! :-) I am replaying this video for like the 5th time in a row! :-)))
OH NO! Please say it ain't so!
You mean to tell me that their instruments are dead?!
After only one session and while they're still so young? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo!!!
I considered myself a bass player before I watched this video.
Now I’m just the owner of a bass
Same rip
Same. Same.
Same
🙋🏻♂️
Be a bass player and be inspired not defeated
The fun smiles on the drummer’s face at the end.....gold ✌️😎🙂
Wow!!!
plis dream theatre plis, your job is amazing!
WOW! o.o
wow, im speechless!!
request time:
The Ultimate Black Sabbath Medley !!!!, ( but not only ozzy songs, give dio and tony martin some love too)
Incredible.
Holy crap..... Brilliant and amazing.... EVERYONE......
Paul Gilbert, the John Wick of guitar!
2:53 Turns into a Dream Theater song
Which is why I don’t like this version at all. It’s clearly played well and at a very high technical level. But it’s all wrong.
@@dmann4912 We hear remakes like this and some of us tend to forget who gave birth to the original. This remake wouldn't exist without the Holy Trinity. In my worthless opinion, doing remakes is fine but dont revision it. Dont walk all over the previous artists efforts and creation until you have transformed it into your own song. Write your OWN song. The extended guitar solo - forementioned at 2:53 - was stupendous- but it wasn't YYZ at that point. There's no need to "show up" the original writers and performers by trying to prove you're a better drummer/guitarist/bassist in an effort to play the song better, faster and higher.
@@TheCaskOf43 Couldn't agree more. No question these musicians are amazing in their own right. Its like hearing a bunch of guys trying to outdo each other and the originals. The problem is you can't outdo the original because it was the best to begin with.
TheCaskOf43 - Ikr, yaaaaawwwwwn
@@TheCaskOf43 are you an actual musician or just a music enthusiast? Dude wanted to do his own style of solo on the song so... he just did it. I think you might be in your own head saying that he's "walking all over" the original. He's a musician so he's just having fun with that chord progression. He wasn't thinking "yeah this solo is going to be way better than the original!" If he has his own style, just let it be and let him enjoy performing music... don't make him conform to the original writers. If we wanted to hear the original, just listen to the original?
The drummer is a beast. among all the other beasts in this studio
this drummer is awesome. nailed it.
and the rest of the band!
By the 2 minute mark, I'd picked up my guitar, cranked my rig & the video to 10, & started jamming along; it's that infectious.
Oh this was amazing! The bass just needed more power in its sound, but overall amazing performance by everyone!!!! Thanks!
Same here. Haven’t watched it yet but Yes I already know this will be Epic. Great tune gents.
Shame the bass was so quiet as it’s a massive piece of the track. But how good are Rush?
je suis d'accord avec toi = i agree with you
There are literally only a few guys around that are able to do this song justice. And NONE OF THEM play it like Geddy.
What are you listening on? Through my monitoring headphones it's a perfect mix
@@justingarcia7722 perfect mix in the normal rock band setting. But in a Rush band setting that bass was always cranked up. You almost couldn't get enough bass in the mix. Lol
@@garrydhintz8017 true
SIMPLY AMAZING!!
i love this drummer, in every vid, he just brings it
When your name is Paul Gilbert, your capo walks, talks and frets the guitar neck
OMG!!! It's like you heard me! I knew guys would nail Rush!
Another unsung hero: Marius Leicht at the keyboards. He is the equivalent of Jordan Rudess of Germany...potentially all over the world.
What a great interpretation of a great song. These guys are so talented. AND it highlights just how talented Rush is at the same time. For those who can't help comparing, it's really apples and oranges. Additional harmonies and counter melodies here. Not to mention 5 (6 if you count the human capo) vs 3. Really fun to watch ad listen.
So Great
That’s one expensive capo. Guy must be in a union.
Voice activated
Uncommon Ephemera Yeah that’s not the first time Paul’s done this. Check out get out of my yard album.
I died 🤣
2:54 And with that single note, he turned it into a Dream Theater song.
agreee
