DAWG!.... your reaction to RUSH'S FREEWILL is good as the song.
Alex's solo section is some of the best playing RUSH has ever done. Go back and just listen to what Geddy and Neil are doing during Alex's solo. Amazing!
Jon McCaffrey I think that instrumental break may be one of their best where all three are doing crazy stuff simultaneously.
solo, over a solo over a solo is how i always describe it.
That solo IS PRIMORDIAL OOZE 🤘❤️🤘
I describe it as the moment other bands put their instruments down and consider their options.
Yaaassssss. The blending of the 3 instruments is perfection
The great thing about the solo section, is they are all soloing at the same time.
It was something to behold seeing them perform. 🙄 3 hrs of me going 🤯 it's only 3 guys! That turned in to "They are ALL over 50yrs old!" decades later. 😞 RIP Professor
Maybe I can make this simpler for you. RUSH is TRUTH.
🤔 True 💯
Hell ya your in the presents off greatness Neil is god

Black ppl started rock and roll in the 50s...and black guys make some of the best guitar players...come back to your roots!😁👍
Blame is better to give than receive. If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. BARS! Such a genius of a lyricist and the GOAT drummer. RIP Professor!! You are and will be sorely missed!
That's one of my favorite lyrics of all time, "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." BRILLIANT.
Angostism
You should check out Beyond the Lighted Stage. It is a documentary about the band. I think you might enjoy it. The Dinner with Rush you mentioned in this video comes from Beyond the Lighted Stage.
I love how Alex has a religious experience in the instrumental passage
And 😖🥴😋 guitar faces to match each lick! 😍🐰#ENRGYZRBunny
One of their best songs on one of their best albums. Check out Natural Science off of it. One of their epics
Even better live where the first line repeats, just a better flow in that section
Natural Science is absurd.
Natural Science gets better on every listening since 1978.
@@davekyes1 1980 but yeah,.
You said it, man! The phrasing on those verses is so unique, and seems to follow the melody, while Neil's drumming accents each word so precisely. Rush is the type of band that you can listen to the isolated instrument tracks all by themselves and be awestruck by the virtuosic musicianship, but then you it all together and it's like finding God! Lol 😃🤘🏻
philosopher + musician + genius = Rush
The Rush Formula is even simpler than that: "Music by Lee and Lifeson. Lyrics by Peart."
I'm a 55 year old RUSH fan that goes back to 1980 and I just love watching the reation of younger fans listening to this amazing band.....
Closer to the Heart!
Best symbology of any Rush track is "The Trees". Amazing social commentary.
Cinderella Man and Workin Man. Let's be honest we could probably suggest something off every album. StaySafe&Blessings🦋
We are all the same with the same hopes, dreams and fears. The difference is how we choose to face the obstacles in our path. That is what I get from this song anyway.
"I choose to have a vicTOR mindset" Love it.
"Victor mindset". Love it. Rock on Jay Rah!
Everybody soloing!
They are all just showing off in this song!!😆
Unbelievable talent!!
That is why Neal is called the professor! Lyrics and his incredible drumming!
You have to react to "Roll The Bones" and "Ghost of A Chance". Love your breakdown of this incredible song!👍
I am atheist and I think your spiritual respect gesture is wonderful. It simply means that you are giving praise to someone who has passed. Your analysis of these songs honor this great band. Keep going. And I knew this bridge would get you.
I knew you would love these "BARS" Great reaction!!
This world would be in a much better state if more people listened and payed attention to Rush. Great bars and great music have the ability to heal the world.
Bruh! Muse! Knights of Cydonia! Live! Rome Olympic Stadium!
I told you. Don't sleep on this. They're THE power trio of the last 20 years.
40pluss years
Good understaffing of the scripture of the HOLY TRINITY OF ROCK..
GEDDY, ALEX AND THE PROFESSOR NEIL...
RUSH NATION IS RIDING WITH YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY...
RESPECT!
Rush always chose their own path.....it was their fee will!
You're right about the barage in this song Jay. It cuts close to the heart of the nature of this world we live in. You wanted to know about the kindness that kills? How much of what the power that be shoves down our throat is no more than lies under the banner of keeping us safe? Great reaction.
The Permanent Waves album got me into Rush. Every song on the album is awesome. Same goes for the albums Moving Pictures and Signals. And the live album Exit Stage Left was an almost permanent resident in my Sony Walkman when I was in Junior High. Neil did indeed write incredible lyrics. You might find that the lyrics to Witch Hunt ( Moving Pictures ) seems to resinate with so much that is going on in today's world.
My favourite album. Moving pictures has some great tracks but Freewill is something else. The live version on ESL is amazing.
The lyrics to witch hunt, specifically the last 4 lines,written on the cover of a college workbook, way back when I was doing my A levels in 1981 was what triggered my interest in Rush.
Been a massive fan ever since, I'm 55 now
Why doesn't anyone recommend 2112? It's iconic
My favorite song by far by them. The lyrics alone are pure genius. This album was something special
that bass before the solo
is killing me and then the solo finish me off
Love your lyric breakdowns, especially with bands like RUSH that have brilliant lyrics.
And I'm an Atheist, but don't care what anyone else believes.
Rush is all about the words....And the bass....And the drums.....And the guitar.....And the vocals
"I'm officially a rush fan" it was only a matter of time. Keep it up with all the music sir! 👏
Great review--- great commentary-- poignant and pertinent
The best part of seeing this version live is going batshit crazy with the rest of the audience following the solo break.
In sales and service when a customer is rude, being kind defuses them , we used to say - Kill em with kindness.
Love the face-melt expressions during the solo section!
Classic RUSH! Excellent Guitar Bass Drums vocals! Plus the incredible lyrics of the brilliant Neil Peart. ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
This album dropping introduced me to them.
🤣 Maybe I'm old but it always amazes me when folks realize 🤯 we're just a planet of playthings! 🙄 I know, riiiiight?! 😊🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny
Jay, I have to ask... Have you played Rush for any of your friends? If so, what did they think?
Nah not yet but that might be a video one day
@@jayrahvisions
That would be totally cool.
. 😊✌
Jay Rah Vision Room That’s why we watch your videos: to see someone experiencing Rush for the first time and being blown away by it is a throw back to when we first experienced it, to relive that elusive moment. Check out Dave Grohl describing his first experience with 2112 at Rush’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction.
Check out “ A Passage to Bangkok”, the live version from Exit Stage Left album. Great guitar solo.
Love your comments about blame....victor over victim YES!! Some people never reach your maturity...awesome message!
I was a teenager in the 1970's, bands like this were coming up while disco was getting popular, it was an amazing time to be musically coming of age. Carpenters and Kiss and AC/DC and Buddy Rich and the B-52s and the Eagles and Boston and Yes and ELP and Chuck Mangione and Queen and Three Dog Night and and and, all following the 1960s. Today's young have NO idea what it was like. In 1966 Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass had FOUR albums in the Billboard Top Ten album chart AT THE SAME TIME! A record still unbeaten!! In the '70s the Jackson 5 and The Carpenters and the Osmpnds were selling out arenas while ELP and Kansas and RUSH were recording historically significant albums. I've been lucky enough to see Count Basie, Rush, Yes, Chicago, the Jackson 5, a few others, LIVE. I consider myself to be VERY lucky, even though I'm very cognizant of what I've missed.
Keep reacting. Keep the music alive. There was a musical EXPLOSION in the 1960s that bore incredible fruit in the 1970s. Every time somebody young has their eyes opened to what they've missed, the world becomes a better place. To everybody who has had their world expanded by these videos, PLEASE share this experience with your friends and especially to your younger family members. Expand to jazz and classical and every other style you can find.
Love that the lyrics touch you as well. Neil was an individualist. He believed in a person wandering their own path. Overcame tremendous trials and tribulations. My musical hero
This is my favorite Rush song. Watching you enjoy brought tears to my eyes. God bless you!
So glad you’ve been introduced to Rush, they are next level musicians and songwriters! Let’s go to another level with a different flair; Earth Wind and Fire next!!!
Rush brings so much intellectual depth. So many many layers deep beyond the virtuoso musicianship. 3 of the best musicians ever and meat beyond just music.
The genius of Neil Peart . . . his lyrics and his philosophy. Brilliant!
I believe that "Kindness that can Kill" refers to either the belief of a vengeful/wrathful God or man's history of using religion as an excuse for violence. The jam in the middle is definitely one of a kind. The root of it is Alex playing both Lead and Rhythm setting himself up to go off by trading back and forth between the two. I also always love when Rush breaks down the instrumental by showing you what Neil and Geddy are laying down before Alex comes in so you don't lose sight of how awesome it is...
I deleted my comment - you said it better.
"kindness that kills" refers to marxism
@@roman14032 I am not the only one that interprets it as the above, but agree to disagree. Rush on brother.
Bruh! My power has been out for 2 days now, and I'm just sitting in my car charging my phone. I've spent the last couple of hours watching Rush reaction videos and I really, REALLY like this one. Your analysis is spot on and one of my favorite quotes from E. Hubbard comes to mind: "We are not punished for our sins, but BY our sins."
I love your innate sense of accountability. My hat is off to you and your love of Rush! Thanks!
That "kindness that can kill" line is a derivative of the old phrase "kill them with kindness." This has long been my favorite Rush song!!!
Oh, that cavernous rabbit hole that is Rush.
😊✌
I don't know if anyone else chimed in about this, but the lyric, "kindness that can kill" is a sly reference to the the strategy of "kill them with kindness" which means to win over your adversaries by being overly kind towards them, to make them feel guilty, which Neil and others obviously take as borderline manipulation. So Neil is not only saying he takes freewill for himself, but that's what he insists on giving to others, which is a fairly noble attitude in the end
Kindness that can kill = religion
I believe the message behind the lyrics is to simply accept responsibility for your own life & actions. So you nailed it!
Rush were the transition kings! They could change time, tempo, and even genre with ease. I never thought I would find a band that could do it as well as RUSH until I found Band Maid. You seriously need to check these ladies out, transition queens!
Amen Brother! I wish the message of personal responsibility would reach more young people!
That song blew me away in 1980 when I first bought the vinyl...and still blows me away today. Geddy's bass is badass throughout. I'm a drummer, and learning this song was tough as nails.
Total barrage! You should check out Natural Science off of that same album.
Natural Science, possibly my favourite Rush track! Watch the video of them playing it from Rush In Rio. Just awesome!
Rush. Your favorite bands favorite band. Making musicians feel inadequate for 50 years.
"Exit Stage Left" is one of the best live albums ever made imo. A must buy, as the crowd cheer in all the right places, which so adds to the experience.
I’m 51 and have been a Rush fan since I was about 13. I’ve been listening to Freewill for nearly 40 years, but your comments made me see it in a new light. Thanks!
I LOVE watching a new young audience discovering these songs I used to rock out to when I was a young adult!
Geddy's bass intro to the guitar solo and then his continuing jam during the sol is amazing!
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”― Edmund Burke (in a letter addressed to Thomas Mercer).
Checkout the documentary Beyond the lighted stage
When Geddy played that solo in concert he played the neck with his hand upside down. It was fabulous.
This song needs to be played to our politicians!
Rush fan 😎🎶💙yuh!,💕🧚🏻♂️ loved the video. Best line , if you choose not to decide , you still not made a choice. Relatable.
Time changes were one of their signature plays. They loved to do it. And at times, it takes a real ear to hear it.
I loved this! As a 52 year old and lifelong Rush fan (been to countless concerts and got to meet them once) I LOVED seeing a new generation get it! And I mean truly - GET IT. There is hope! Jay Rah continue to educate...
I always wondered why other people didn’t love this band the way I did….I seen them like 25 times live….I couldn’t wait until they put out more material bc I knew it would be great no doubt…this was a special mix of musicians and people alike…. They will never be replicated….I’m glad to see you enjoying and appreciating the gift of musical genius these guys put out….I used to take my sons to the shows when they got old enough and they are huge fans now too…peace to you my brother
I can’t imagine that there has been another group we’re every guy in the band was so extraordinary on their instrument. Alex, Geddy and Neil are just such experts on their respective instrument, but to make it a bit more unbelievable, they all play Korte an just the one instrument they are experts at. Geddy plays the keys, sometimes with his hand and other times with his feet, all while singing.
Alex also plays Taurus pedals from time to time and as awesome as Neil s on drums, he also triggers keyboard samples, which is why they sound like an orchestra when playing live. I have seen them on every tour since Permanent Waves and they never once failed to impress. Every tour from Vapor Trails on, Rush dropped having an opening act and played for three hours with a short break for Neil and it still seemed too short, always leaving me wanting more. Rush was always the best concerts I ever went to. No other band was a perfect live as those three guys.
By the way, you ave a rat attitude concerning the victim stage mentality that everyone wants to claim today. You’re right, it is just someone’s excuse to not own up to what they have done or have failed to do. We can make our own fate, even if things seem stacked against us at time, that just makes your triumph that much better when you win.
And yes Natural Science is a must listen track.. my favourite Rush track of all time.
Rush changes time signatures like I change underwear... quick and seamless.
You take the time to acknowledge the brilliance of Neil's lyrics, and for that, you've earned another subscriber! Keep up the awesome work!
This is my all time favorite Rush song. The studio version. It's a lot to take in. Lots of bars...time signature changes....NO ONE was doing that at that time. Maybe not now either.
Excellent!!
Glad to know that they are in the Rock n Roll hall of fame. Got all their albums.
"Kindness that can kill" If we do and provide too much for others they will never learn to do for themselves
I've listened to this tune many times over many a moon, and the guitar during the pre-chorus gets me every time. Thanks.
My favorite solo breakdown from Rush, they are all ripping it up!
I love to listen to the guitar solo 3 times in a row. Trying to follow just the guitar, then the bass, then the drums. They each are so unique sounding.
Thank you. This one made me hit that SUBSCRIBE button. I had no free will. What I love about Alex's guitar work is how it fits with the theme of each song. On Spirit of the Radio it sounds like the shower of radio waves bringing the music down from the transmitter to my car antenna. On Red Barchetta you feel the power of the engine as you stomp the gas pedal through his riffs. And on this masterpiece his solo is a channel to the chaos of the universe we must somehow find our way through by choosing a path.
If there is a rock and roll heaven, then Chris Squire and Jimi Hendrix filled out the ultimate power trio. RIP Neil.
I never expect full understanding and appreciation of a Rush song on the first listen. There are rewards to revisiting.
Spirit of radio 🎸
That solo section literally blew my mind the first time I heard it; I am a musician (bassist) and I was convinced these guys were aliens after hearing it. Totally agree about Neil's lyrics; genius.
"Quit Bitchin!"...you sir, just earned another Patron. Well said!
Rush fans are so loyal. They LOVE THIS BAND LOL, I am a loyal Rush fan too and I appreciate your detail listening and your analysis of the songs!!
Rush is hand's down My #1 favorite band and others come in second place
Love Rush during their Synth year, added more complexity to an already complex sounding group!
There is nothing I like better than seeing someone feeling a new Rush song for the first time the way I've felt it for so many years. Great reaction video!
The true measure of musical genius is doing what sounds impossible while making it seem effortless. RUSH did this for over 40 years both in the studio and on a live stage. We will never hear or see anything like this again.
This is Far and Away one of the best reactions and Analysis The Rush music and lyrics I've ever seen. So glad that this band is really delivering for you. It's great to see new fans and that the music still lives on
Neil is basically walking drumfill. The guy makes any transition a masterpiece.
7:00, Well said young squire....well said. Love your reactions!! Keep it up.
You got the message! This is one of their best songs ever. It's (almost) commercial in appeal - but really expressive. Top of their game. Reminds me of my childhood. Thanks for enjoying.
Agreed.
Crom cares not for your prayers, He laughs at your wishes!!
A quote is published In books of quotes from this song. "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."
Love this tune, Neil's lyrics are amazing. My pet peeve about the lyric video though, one crucial part is incorrect. The correct lyric is "kicked in the face, you CAN pray for a place in heaven's unearthly estate". Checked my original liner notes & it's CAN, not can't, which makes sense, since the whole song is about decisions you CAN make. Also, "kindness that can kill" I believe refers to people who kill in the name of religion. Alex's solo is a face melting work of genius, as is the rest of the song.
Jay Rah....I wanna give you your propers. I watch a lot of reaction videos because I grew in the 70's and 80's, and you are one of the few people that not only listen to the grove but dive into the lyrics. And the others who do listen to the words are usually very scant on what the say about it. Thank you for being more thorough.
You're becoming my go to RUSH guy. Funny, smart and a straight ahead interpreter if he world's number 1 band. I have listened to at least 1 RUSH song (picked randomly) everyday since 1978.
Jay Rah, happy to see you doing the Rush reactions - if you hadn't heard yet, Neil's nickname was "The Professor" and it was for far more than just how he beat the skins. The dude had a hard life - his first, and only daughter at the time, died in a car crash in 1997 at the age of 19; then 10 months later his (common law) wife of 23 years died of cancer. Dude got on his motorcycle and ghosted, drove 55,000 miles from Canada to Belize - wrote a book that's a good read, Ghost Rider. If you want to see them when they were at their best, imo, there's a whole live show recorded at The Palace, Auburn Hills, MI - Rush - Live From the Rabbit Hole (1990) The older stuff is some of the best, in 1982 some fans got pissed off when Signals came out because of all the synth and some people thought they were selling out a bit - but if there's one thing that Rush NEVER did, it was "sell out" - they just did their thing and did it better than most. They had a ridiculous run from '81 - '96 where they just pumped out albums that were all really good, on different levels. Then they were on a break because of everything going on with Neil and didn't know if they'd ever even get back together, thankfully, for all of us, they did. Tackle a couple from Grace Under Pressure in the near future - Between the Wheels has some bars.
As an older dude, I watch a lot of reaction videos to see how you younger cats react to what I grew up with. Some reactors are kinda lame and clearly doing it for the likes and subs, others, such as yourself, have an actual appreciation for music and "get it" . I appreciate the enthusiasm you show for "my' music....you have become one of my favorite reaction channels...keep it up!
The best reaction to a RUSH song I have ever seen. Never seen anyone feel their music the way that you do. Great reaction Jay.
