my friend you are not ready for the journey you have taken upon yourself. Get ready for three, yes three, of the most arguably talented musicians and virtuosos in their respective craft. Once you start your Rush journey there is no stopping. This train has no brakes.
Exactly!
Second that...
Been on this journey since 1976
Amen, the greatest trio in my opinion and I have seen them live approximately 35 times.
@@valeriefox1920 I saw them for the first few times with Rutsey including the Triple Rush Concert in St. Catharines, Bullrush with Neil Peart drumming opening, then RUSH, then Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. What a RUSHHHH.
RUSH is a virtuoso BAND all three masters of their craft who happen to fit perfectly together. They could literally do anything they wanted musically and for 41 years they did and there is no one happier about it than me. They are the soundtrack of my life!
🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🙂💖
Glad to know you can appreciate what is quite literally my all-time favorite album by my all-time favorite band.
Something that is missing when 2112 is viewed on youtube is the Prologue to certain sections of the song that help explain the story. The prologue is written on the album sleeve along with the lyrics so many of us old fans already know it. But many new fans, thanks to the digital age, may have never read them. I will share them here. They are also available on the Rush website.
They are as follows;
Prologue to the entire album:
“I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon. City and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky. I used to think I had a pretty good life here, just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening.
My friend Jon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, when the surviving planets were banded together under the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The less fortunate gave us a few new moons.
I believed what I was told, I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy. Then I found something that changed it all…”
II. TEMPLES OF SYRINX
“…The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the Heart of every Federation city. I have always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulated and directed from within! Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the priests…”
III. DISCOVERY
“…Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful…”
“…I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys to make them sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious sounds, and soon my own music! How different it could be from the music of the Temples! I can’t wait to tell the priests about it! …”
IV. PRESENTATION
“…In the sudden silence as I finished playing, I looked up to a circle of grim, expressionless faces. Father Brown rose to his feet, and his somnolent voice echoed throughout the silent Temple Hall…”
“…Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, they were words of quiet rejection! Instead of praise, sullen dismissal. I watched in shock and horror as Father Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his feet…”
V. ORACLE: THE DREAM
“…I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so vivid to me. Clearly yet I see the beckoning hand of the oracle as he stood at the summit of the staircase…”
“…I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities, and the pure spirit of man revealed in the lives and works of this world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and understanding as I saw a completely different way to life, a way that had been crushed by the Federation long ago. I saw now how meaningless life had become with the loss of all these things…”
VI. SOLILOQUY
“…I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in my total despair. I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other place to go. My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last…”
Also interesting is the story of the inspiration for the album. After extremely low sales of their third album "Caress of Steel", the record label was about to drop them. They were told they would give them one more album, one more shot to produce some sales or they were out. They wanted them to do more "Radio friendly" songs instead of lengthy concept pieces. Neil, Geddy, and Alex decided if they were going to go out, they were going to go out doing what they loved, so they put radio-friendly songs on one side of the album and a 20 minute middle finger to the record industry on the other. It ended up having massive sales not because of the radio-friendly songs, but because of the 20 minutes of them doing what they love the most. After that, Rush was given the freedom to do what they want without the label's interference.
Too funny, Rush are deep. Bands like Tool owe everything they are to Rush.
Dave Carey the incredible drummer of Tool has said on more than one occasion that Rush and Neil Peart specifically inspired him immensely. This is almost cliché to say as we Rush fans have heard it countless times but there is a saying that "Rush is your favourite bands favourite band". So true...
As a Canadian who grew up on Rush , I regret that I can only give your reaction one thumbs up 😛👍🏼
Greatest band of all time lyrically and musically!!!!!
Oh yes lots to hear. Keep it up. Working Man Anthem Bastille Day Xanadu Hemispheres La Villa Strangiato Red Barchetta Limelight YYZ The Analog Kid The Weapon Between the Wheels Marathon .......and loads more. Any live versionof anything. Marvelllous.
Oh man, what a song for your first Rush song! You opened the door to a 40 year-long catalog of musical and lyrical masterpieces. Three dudes put out all of this music and they pull it off live. To get a good look at their craftsmanship, I would say watch Xanadu live from the 1981 Exit Stage Left tour. The singer plays bass, synthesizers, synth pedals with his feel, and rhythm guitar at the end. The drummer is an entire percussion section with drums, chimes, bells, wood blocks, and a glockenspiel. The guitarist plays both 6 and 12 string guitars. Many more instruments than band members, lol. Enjoy the journey. Cheers!
This.
Man this is from 1976!!!!!!!
Pretty visionary of them to be concerned about computers taking over and getting in the way of humanity and creativity. God Bless RUSH.
Drama, this song takes me on a Journey, through Time, Rush is the Best 3 piece Power Trio band ever to play Music, R.I.P. to Mr. Peart, he will never be forgotten, Cousin Figel
Not only one of the greatest drummers, one of the greatest guitarists or indeed one of the greatest bassist's ever. But one of the greatest vocalists ever too! 2112 will always be a special album, its a masterpiece & one of many from Rush. ❤👍🇬🇧
There was definitely a little something for everyone in this video tonight. I enjoyed it all!
The earth is millions of years old and we lived at the same time as Rush... Awesome.
Welcome to the Rush rabbit hole
This song really is one of the greatest epics ever penned. The talent level of these three gentlemen is just insane. I got to see them live a few years back, and it was a great experience. They did the entire "Moving Pictures" album plus alot more. Top of the top notch.
Great musician's all the way around! Had the awesome pleasure of seeing the 3 times and was never, ever disappointed!🎸🤘👊👌
Thank you for this Rush reaction. I have been listening to Rush for decades. I can hardly wait to see your reaction to other Rush songs. Welcome to the Rush family.
Awesome stuff and well ahead of it's time. Most songs are a scene in a movie, you just watched a whole movie. I love that Rush are musicians first and foremost that more often than not played what they wanted to, how they wanted (sure worked out!) to and hoped the fans would love it.
Rush are the kings of transitions
Great reaction!! I must say, if this is your first Rush reaction, you threw YOURSELF into the deep end LOL! They have SO many diverse songs/sounds, you're in for quite a journey. Enjoy!!
Nice pick bro!! Keep doing RUSH and you will blow your channel up!! This is the Quintessential RUSH album.
This Song construction is outrageously good! The 4 minute build up into literally explosions. The following sections with an explosive Ending make up some of the best rock/progressive compositions, of all time!
Just 3 guy’s making all that music. Yes they were the grandfather’s of prog metal. Tool was influenced by them and had developed their own sound but this was the original way back in 1976. Others suggested reactions include, Spirit of Radio, La Villa Strangiato, YYZ, Limelight, Jacob’s Ladder, And Xanadu.
I love Rush and I loved your reaction bro, keep this amazing journey of yours going
yyz live in rio
Sophisticated rhythm changes is indicative to Progressive rock. Nice to see that you notice the commonalities between Tool and Rush and also a lot of other prog rock bands. The trick is to seamlessly transition the sections of different beat.
That was their real breakout piece. They had some success, but with 2112, they established themselves as masters of the craft. 2112 is an expertly-crafted piece of compositional storytelling that flows from beginning to end, following techniques used in classical music for centuries. From there on, if you choose to listen to more from throughout their career, you'll find 40 years of incredible music encompassing many different styles and moods.
Natural Science is one of their very very best songs.
Love watching young people open their minds and ears to the great music from the 60s 70s early 80s.
Yes my friend you need to see them visual live videos you would more impressed..because yes there only 3 member playing that genius music
Rush is why Tool exists. Freewill, Spirit of Radio, YYZ, Red Barchetta, La Villa Strangiato, Xanadu, Trees, Camera Eye, Working Man, Closer to the Heart, Roll the Bones, By-Tor and the Snow Dog...
Rush is fine art. I listen to rush like enjoying a fine painting, every time it peaks my imagination and i find myself stopping to appreciate Rush and the Art Rock they have created again and again and Ill do that for ever.
To caveat on what the others have commented, listen to Rush: The Trees, Xanadu, La Villa Strangiato! Absolute masterpieces!
The Fountain of Lamneth gets no love and it's a shame. It was the proto to 2112 and is simply amazing.
@Chaz Stone "No One At The Bridge" most particularly
Bastille Day, The Trees, La Villa, Fountain of Lamneth... all incredible.
Awesome video. They were the best. RIP Neil. You should check out some documentaries on the band as will Niel. It will blow your mind.
Great reaction! You have taken on the best rock band in history. You'll keep seeing amazing musicianship across this catalogue. Freewill is a killer tune. Red Barchetta is beautiful. The Spirit of Radio is essential. Some deeper cuts I recommend... Marathon, Middletown Dreams, Losing It, Digital Man, Between the Wheels, and Chain Lightning.
I will never forget hearing this album (8 track) 1st time in ‘77 when I was 14, forever changed me and my music preferences. No more Skynard for me 😂 Saw them live on this tour and in 81...unbelievable live. Natural progression for my appreciation and love for TooL in the 90s. Love both bands till this day!
There was no internet when Rush found me, but now watching the next generation hear them for the first time- brings the joy of seeing them live!
This suite of songs is based off a book titled 'Anthem' by Ayn Rand, It's a quick read and is free (public domain) at this point (I think). A very interesting book that is a strange read because in the future you are not allowed to say 'I' or 'Me' as no one has any individual rights.
Yes true musicianship!!
Great reaction vid. Glad you appreciate it. This was a turning point for rush where the record label was about to dump them and was pushing them to make something more commercial.. and instead they did a 20+ minute work that they wanted to make. And it worked out and after that it was .. ok you can record whatever you want.
Obviously this is a story.. kind of apocalyptic in the beginning.. generations later the priests rule. the guy finds the guitar.. you get the next part he brings it to them tehy tell him to go away. He has a dream about the elder race before the apocalytic era... he decides he doesnt want to live anymore without the musci he found... and then the elder race comes back to reclaim the civilization from the priests.
Excellent point. They said if we are going to fail, we will do it on our terms. Fucking best album ever! LOLOL..
if you think about the story theres a kind of Christ like death and resurrection in there, its left really vague
but everybody gets it somehow
there is something universal about the theme of death and resurrection
his "life blood spills over" but then BAM!!! THE FIGHTS ON!
its one of those things thats so deep in the human psyche i dont think ANYONE fully understands it
its just pops out of creative artists over and over again
My favorite album of all time. The other side of the album is fire 🔥 as well, give it a listen
The 7 people who gave a thumbs down to this video should probably hand in their membership now and move on. Dramasyde your facial expressions thru this says it all. I loved it. You should listen to their song YYZ. All instrumental. How can I get a hat?? And please more from the king Elvis. Thank you for your channel.
Rush are now the same as such other greats like Pink Floyd or Queen, in that they reached global phenomenon status (Beatle fashion) All three groups are being appreciated again by generation after generation, now thanks to online means. That continued appreciation goes to show the brilliance of these bands & deserved status of true legends of music. ❤👍🇬🇧
Another great one is Red Barchetta. Great story in that one!
Part VI, Soliloquy BRINGS tears to my eyes. Alex Lifeson Guitar solo there (19:14) is Phenomenal! "Just think of what my life might be, in a world like I seen. I don't think I could carry on this cold and empty life..OH NOooo"! EPIC!! "My Lifeblood spills over...".
It's so amazing that Getty Lee can play bass and keyboard while arguing with himself in song with two entirely different voices.
Sir you have just heard one of the best music composed episodes ever created
I was honored to see Rush live nine times. Pure talent.
You should try The Fountain of Lamneth you will love
still getting blazed to this 30 years later. thanks man!
Yes that was a good stretch. One of my favorite solos from Alex. Such an underrated guitarist!!!!
...and need to get the writing that was on the inside of the album...the story: "Anonymous, 2112": "I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon. City and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky. I used to think I had a pretty good life here, just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening. My friend Jon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, when the surviving planets were banded together under the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The less fortunate gave us a few new moons. I believed what I was told, I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy. Then I found something that changed it all..."
This really fits for what is going on now... "Wear the mask, stay inside, we will tell you when it's safe. Just obey and we will take care of every thing.".
Check out their live stuff ..like Xanadu
Love rush glad to have a rehearsal opportunity
cautionary tale by Neil Pert on the dangers of forced equality
It's really a suite.
Imagine a world, actually a galactic empire, of authoritarian rule so afraid of individual creativity that they are completely without art. That is 2112...or can it be? Groupthink has to go! If we didn't get the warning from Orwell, maybe this can make us realize what it could lead to. Peart's writings were genius.
By the way, you need more lighting in front of you. 😉
Great comments and reaction!!!!
YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THEM DO THIS LIVE......SOUNDS LIKE THE ALBUM AS ALL RUSH SONG DO LIVE!!! Check out Freewill Natural Sciences and Roll the bones
Thank you, brother. I loved listening to it again with you.
11-77 Reno---8/15 LA Forum = 68 shows and it was not nearly enough. Enjoy this journey you are fixing' to take. RIP Professor.
Xanadu live performance, you'll thank me later bro
Exit Stage Left tour?
This is the first album I ever bought. I have been hooked on RUSH since.
The song that saved Rush.
Imagine a 15yr old kid buying this album when it came out. That was me. I would invite you to listen to that song once a day for one week. Then, keep exploring their catalog. Rush is the reason all these other progressive bands are doing their own thing. No one could eclipse these 3 masters. I dig your reaction vids man! You have great taste and insight. Keep exploring!
When you do revisit 2112, there is an excellent animated/graphic novel version on TH-cam that will help you visualize everything going on in the story. It' well worth a spin. Thanks!
Rush is amazing. You have so much to discover!
Ive been watching reaction videos for months now... Seen your other reaction videos as well. You LISTENED and HEARD the music of a great album, although on the album there were a couple additional songs you didnt hear on this introduction. I applaud you for helping break down barriers, seeing the talent in multiple genres. The appreciation of music will hopefully tear down walls we have ignorantly erected. GREAT JOB !!!
Thanks for your most respectful viewing of the music. I deeply thank you sir. This tune speaks directly to NOW, and the controlling of what we see and hear by a select few. No need to discover anything "new" or different from what we are being given by the "select few". I've listened to Rush for about 40 years now, and seeing someone new discover them is "relaxing" and reassuring, gives me a feeling that all is not lost. Great job!!!
Another great story they tell in 2 songs are ByTor and The Snowdog and The Necromancer the sequel to ByTor.
I’ve seen a lot of Rush reaction videos...you are very observant! I definitely enjoyed this!
I’ve probably play the song 1000 times I’ve never gotten bored with it
Bizar good band! More than 40 years of music. Do some more stuff. One tip: do some live stuff but till max 2008. Geddy’s voice gets bad at the age of >55. But try Headlong Flight studio 2013 when they were 62. That song rocks! And off course La Villa Strangiatio and Xanada from Exit Stage Left. Manahatton Project from Show of Hands. And many many more. Good luck
Yes, The Grand Finale, they finished it out strong. They have assumed control, they have assumed control, they have assumed control!!!!!!!!
Rush was one of the first rock band which I didn't need any singing, though they had great singing and lyrics. The playing was always enough for me and awesome!
Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation (7 words said 3 time) 21
We have assumed control. (4 words said 3 time) 12
2112.
THANK YOU MY FRIEND.
Your commentary is really on point..crisp..and refreshing...keep it goin man...
They were like 23 years old doing this. 40 years of awesome.
20 minutes and you find yourself disappointed it ends. 20 more, please!
Just like, Pink Floyd an Led Zeppelin, Rush is a mental an musical journey 🎤🥁🎧🎸🎤🥁🎧🎸🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼
the purpose of music is to unite people
THATS ITS PURPOSE
ALWAYS WAS
back in the old days the village had to move together in dance to fool the lion or the wolf into thinking it was one big animal
that became army's and war drums
and music followed from there
THE PURPOSE OF MUSIC IS TO UNITE PEOPLE
ALWAYS WAS
so when someone takes a knee during our anthem
they are stabbing us deep in the back, ALOT DEEPER THAN YOU THINK
see music is how we bond
what did you bond with YOUR friends over?
it was your music
it always is
what did you and your loved one fall in love together with?
with this channel you share music
this is THE BEST WAY FOR PEOPLE TO UNITE
TOO DIS THE MUSIC OF OTHERS IS THE BEST, THE VERY VERY BEST WAY TO DESTROY UNITY BETWEEN HUMAN BEINGS
its ALOT MORE SERIOUS A THING THAN YOU THINK
ITS LIFE AND DEATH SERIOUS
MUSIC IS NOT A GAME, ITS NOT FRIVOLOUS, ITS NOT JUST A PAST TIME
ITS HOW THE HUMAN RACE UNITES AND MOVES TOGETHER
you have to understand that
if you dont
you dont understand music AT ALL
MUSIC IS VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT
for the love of god take your role in this channel seriously
it IS serious business
Others have said it and I cannot stress enough everything you hear is created by 3 men when you do more try to find some live performances you will be shocked..Welcome to Rush My friend...The journey is just beginning.
Check out YYZ by RUSH
Thanks for the vid. Loved watching you react. Reminds me of the 80s when I first heard it
Rush-anthem
The necromancer
The fountain of lamenth
Working man
Natural science
Epic. Welcome to Rush.
Definitely one of the best albums I saw this live Rochester New York 1977 but I can’t remember a thing I went with my friend someone shot a frisbee at us out of nowhere and we went to shoot the frisbee back and we looked under it and had some acid on it so he dropped it it was phenomenal you do the best reactions of anyone that’s doing it out there!!
Your sound was very clear on this one!
Great reaction, thank you.
Enjoy the journey
RUSH - Roll The Bones.... :)
Watch their 2013 intro the the Rock Hall of Fame...it is epic
My first introduction to Rush is when a friend of mine at the time introduced me to their album when *A Farewell to Kings* where the song Cygnus X-1 just blew my mind.
Rush was given the Order of Canada for their charity work, and inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
Neil Peart (RIP) the last and best drummer for Rush was and still is after his death earlier this year, Paulina's (the drummer for The Warning) idol.
😍 Always a go to during "downtime". Appreciate you reacting to 1 of my favorite bands. Always a fun rewatch! 🍿🐰 #ENEGYZRBunny
Great reaction!! We Rush fans usually have you make your way up to some “2112” but you took it pretty good!! It’s phenomenal! These are my 3 favorite musicians to come up the ladder in the last 40 yrs!! They earned it alll!! Excellent musicians! You should check out “The Spirit of Radio”, “ The Trees”, and you should definitely check out some live stuff like “YYZed-Live in Rio” is a good one to watch them work it on-stage!! One of the best live bands of all time!! RIP Neil!!
Always fun to watch a mind melt. And yes, Tool were heavily influenced by Rush.
This is the very first album I ever purchased. Man! You brought back memories! :) If you haven't already, you should react to Their Hemispheres album.
Awesome album!!
New subscriber here. Welcome to the world of Rush. They have a huge catalog of music. You should read up on them a little bit. There's an excellent documentary about them on Netflix currently "Rush: Beyond the lighted stage."
Only criticism I have is with the RUSH video itself as with all other versions of this album side, is that with the original album, inside there were not only the lyrics but there is notation preceding each song setting up the scene. Without reading the notation the gist of the story gets lost if only following the lyrics. There is one version posted where someone created animation that is so far from the story it is awful. Below is a link which includes all the liner notes as well as lyrics.
www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/albums-2112.php
Sorry not really understanding your train of though here?An outstanding album from a band who were always and will be top of their game.No need to follow linear notes to understand the album, stunning album, stunning songs, stunning band!!!
