RIP Neil Peart. Genuinely upset at his passing.
Sad day for sure! RIP Neil.
Canada may be getting a princess, but they lost true royalty . . . one of the absolute best . . . #RIPNeilPeart
Agreed 😞
@@wealthactuallywfrazerrice1873 the best in my opinion
me to bro
" I never wanted to be famous. I wanted to be good."- Neil Peart
The working man’s creed.
Good? Modesty shows through so much, especially when one is "great" and not just "good" - terms of the level of musicianship, performance, presence, and...percussion. Damn! The big world of rock-n-roll will never be the same without the likes of The Professor...and the band Rush will probably never "be" again. Too bad - three of the very best at what they did, individually and as a group. RIP, Neil Peart - if today's "Modern Drummer" could just know "80 percent solution" of what you accomplished as the "tempo-maker" (and then-some), they'd be an instant success!
Legend
There's so much of Neil's approach to life in just those 11 words. An amazing song from 3 fabulous musicians and, by all accounts, 3 fabulous men.
awesome
I'm a 57 year old black man and Rush was the inspiration I had to become a Computer Tech when no one thought possible!
You’ve got great taste!
It doesn't matter what age or pigment of your skin. Rush is for everyone. And I'm happy that they inspired you to reach for a better life.Take care and keep rocking out!
Love your comment!
Doesn’t matter man..rush is the example geddy is jews,lifeson serbian,peart canadian..😂 music is for everyone..
I was Too! Even though I didn't make it Because I had the Potential to get Corpal Tunnel Syndrome and Bad Migraine Head Aches.
Absolutely iconic
Word ❤🎉
Absolutely, Close to Perfection as a band can be. i saw hem in like 81' the concert was great, tigt, perfect timing, sounded like the Radio, another thing they did not have it so loud that it hurt. Just perfect.
🥂
✌️😎🤘
@@JesseJames-vc2bm accidentally saw Rush in 88. In Arkansas. Last show ever there. $17 ticket. $16 shirt.
I love hockey but Canada's greatest gift to the world is Rush...
and so much more my Canada offers and has god bless CANADA
Feel the same and hockey is the best sport
Agreed Plus having the best drummer on earth helps a lot
Yessir
Well spoken
Rest in peace Neil Peart. The world just lost the best drummer. 😭😭😭
Best songwriter.
Seriously so sad! RIP Neil.
@@Boojkill how Bob Dylan won that prize for lyrics over Peart will always be a thing of amazement...
Horrible loss
💥💥💥 No, the best drummer is Steve Gadd
I'm so glad this band actually existed and that we can all witness their genius
They are always awesome, but they become my favorite band every 3 months or so when they're all I listen to.
@@MaverickBrewerthat’s me all year round lol I know I should branch out but for the life of me nothing hits me the way rush does
If they were a figment of your imagination you’d be a genius
2024, still the tightest band to ever make music.
True 😊
Nailed it
Absolutely
Fact
Yes
Neil Peart: Your favourite drummer's favourite drummer.
I didnt know peart's favorite drummer was himself...
portnoy, wackerman, rev, all of them loved peart
Absofuckinglutley
Aye! RIP to the god of drums.
This is how to spell favorite F A V O R I T E
Rush is the only concert where people will air drum instead of guitar. Timeless song.
Fly high Peart
That's true, I don't even play drums myself but I like to air drum to Prime Mover, especially to the grand intro.
I never had the chance to see them. By the time I got into Rush their concert tickets were $200+
I never thought of it................ but yeah !!
"Fly by night"
And sing a long to instrumentals
RIP Professor. Neil Peart. One of the best Rock drummers of all time.
In my opinion he’s the best.
The best
Rush's sense of rhythm and timing is unmatched. They jump from 4/4 to 3/2 to 2/1 like flicking a light switch.
Ha! Yeah but makes it hard to slow dance to! Grin! Dont get me wrong. I'm a fan from way back!
yeah if you know and appreciate real music it’s fantastic
2/1? What note is represented by the "1", here? A whole note, maybe? If there are 2 beats per measure, why would the whole note be chosen to represent one beat if a "whole" note is typically good for a "whole" measure. I don't believe I've ever seen a 2/1 time signature. There are better ways to denote whatever "2/1" is trying to accomplish.
They don't makeum like this anymore. 😊
@@utubeiswatchingme I understand what he meant. So maybe he doesn't know time signature, but I did understand what he meant, and he does know good music.😃
Alex Lifeson is possibly the most underrated guitarist
Easily one of the best guitar leads ever
"Possibly" leaves room for debate.
The first time I heard "La Villa Strangiato" I heard hints of the signature sounds of over a dozen guitarists that are better known to the mainstream world than Alex, most of whom made it big after "Hemispheres" was released. It's easy to forget just how long Rush's recording career is. These guys were contemporaries of everyone from Led Zeppelin to The Foo Fighters. Rock fans follow the big names. The big names follow Alex.
Most great guitarists would have him in their top 10.
Yep
I had to wash dishes for a month in order buy this album when it came out. I was 12.
Loren Poole i’m really late but i bet it was worth every dish😂
Best album, money well spent
OMG gag me with a spoon. The food gets all totally stuck with the fork. Voice inflection and adjective in a baby voice.

There are people that think Gary Lee can’t sing 😂 There are also people that think the Earth is flat. Rush wouldn’t be Rush without Lee’s voice 🤦♂️
Take away any of them, and Rush wouldn't be Rush. They were a power trio.
And there are people who think that Gettysburg is garysburg....whatever I guess....whateva
@@JimmyLaskowski His real name is Gary Lee Weinrib. His mother has such a thick Polish accent that when she called for him to come in for dinner it sounded like she was yelling "GETTY". That's how he got the name.
@@KevinSteckel thanks for the correction...I'll never see him as a Gary you know....Paul Davis...if you are reading.this.....i.wonder if u knew. I knew his mom had an accent....but, thanks for the info....I would love the two survivors to cut some new songs with Kurt Grohl or whatever his name is...Kris....
@@KevinSteckel thank you 😉
Geddy Lee never fails to impress with his ability to sing and play bass at the same time. Both are crazy complex and often in total conflict with each other. More talent in this 3 piece than most 5 and 6 member bands.
Exactly
I covered this song in my band (power trio) as the bassist, lead singer and keyboard guy, the bridge/solo is the hardest to do, multiple time signature changes, very hard!
@@briantap2068 my respect for that
Rush has such a Unique Style of Playing their instruments. High Singing, Alex Lifeson on Guitar, Bass, and Neil Peart Playing his Drumset. Rest in Peace Neil. That's a Shame He was Struggling with Some Kind of Brain Cancer. A Very Talented 3 piece Band.
Might be the best bridge of any pop/progressive/rock song ever.
I think this song is way more epic than people realize
i agree..its very epic..my favorite RUSH song..
It is indeed Sascha.
Master craftsmanship.
@@PfeffaDo you really think Neil Peart had Asperger’s Syndrome? Never even made that connection…interesting.
Ohh totally. Best song on a magnificent album.
Here we go guys. No strippers, fancy cars, mansions, crazy video concepts, macho b.s.. Just a trio of dudes purely doing what they do best....fucking rock. Period
Crazy video concepts can be a lot of fun (I love the video for _Mystic Rhythms_), but sometimes you just gotta rock in the studio.
+0okamino exactly amigo...which is what we're witnessing here
well put!!!!!
Exactly. These are true _musicians_, the absolute best.
I don't like this kind of music video (Rammstein is definitely the best at doing at them), but holy shit, how much better this is from all the generic pop shit today,
It’s absolutely amazing that only three guys created that sound. Their talent is off the charts.
Well ... sure ... with lots of overdubs.
You should have seen them live in the early 1980s. No overdubs. The experience was beyond incredible. The wall of sound these three guys created live was epic.
Don't be such a chad, Chad 😂
@@Beatpoetry1922 I kinda love that my name has become "a name" in that way. It cracks me up.
Anyway, I did in the mid eighties. It was ok. They've never been my thing, really, although I do like a few of their songs.
@@chadjohnson-authormusician8072
😉 👍 Have a great day.
My dad showed me this video when i was a little boy- he passed from the same kind of cancer as neil peart ❤️ this song and band is so special
If they gave him chemo and radiation I can tell you for a FACT that he stood a better chance of surviving without the chemo and radiation!
@@lifeis2407 Didn’t ask for your conspiracy theory about MY father, was just sharing a comment on a song that is very special to me.
@dean
I’m sorry for your loss.
Your response to @life, (if his chemo comment was addressing your father’s fight) is deserved. When I first read his comments, I connected them to Neils's cancer treatment choices and not your father's. Then after reading your response, I immediately re-read all of the posts. I was curious to know how I missed where his thoughts had been directed at your Dad's approach to his treatment.
Please let me know if I am overlooking the connection or if is there a possibility that he is referring to Neils's treatment choices.
Take care.
I think this could arguably be one of the best songs of all time. It’s absolutely flawless.
Agreed..One of my all time fav's the intro is the shit!!!
In memory of Neil Peart who loved that area of the Laurentian Mountains near the town of Morin-Heights.
This is definitely in their top 5 songs
It's up there
Deeply satisfying, yes.
How can people hate on Rush? It's like saying you don't like Ice Cream
It's unforgivable.
Some people might be lactose intolerant... or deaf.
You do you i guess
next time you see the crowd at a rush concert video, count how many chics you see, that's why dudes pretend like they don't like RUSH.
Jealous and no taste in music. Probably some young dude into rap.
Some people hate rush because of geddys voice. His voice definitely changed alot over the years and in my opinion for the worse. On another note i would say that their playing just got better and better all until the end unlike geddys voice.
I understand now why my Dad and Uncle praised this band
Peart is one of the greatest drummers of all time.
Best lyrics writer also
Subdivisions is the standard, don't attempt unless highly skilled drummer 🥁
Mike Portnoy really liked him.
Correction buddy, the greatest drummer of all time. No offense.
John Henry Bonham would like a word. Actually, two words. "Moby Dick."@@joemohan9165 Don't get me wrong, I loved Peart, too.
Who’s listening to Rush in 2020
He's still out there riding his bike along the back roads being left alone, just like he wanted. FAREWELL KING :(
Never gets old
Classic
🇧🇷✌️✌️
It's my anniversary of listening to Rush for 40 years.
I should go on tour.
Every music lover
Anyone else here binging Rush after hearing of Neil's passing?
BIG TIME!!
C'mon Bro it's sacrilege if ur not! gonna blast this shit all night!
All night long. RIP Professor
All. Night. Long.
Hearing of Neal's passing took my breath away, the world has lost an amazing man and the best drummer of all time, I had to come to youtube to hear them - I saw them live at least 10 times and for that I am truly grateful. RIP Neal Peart.
Let's face it. There is only one Rush and never will there be another
If I tried really hard...
Who else adores Geddy's sound playing his Rickenbacker best?
I want a Rickenbacher bass because of RUSH (Geddy)!
@@jeremymarquart1065 gonna cost ya, but worth every penny
Definitely.
Rush is not something you listen to...... but something you Experience!
You get it some dont
Damn skippy.
Ru Neal?
BTW RIP NEAL
You either listen to rush or you hear rush. Hahahahha
RIP Neil Peart
Pera, ele morreu?
He will live on in his music. Still inspiring young brilliant musicians.
@@thetraveler9229 sim
Yes absolutely rest in peace brother. He is inspired so many of us.
Im a 93 year old Woman, and became a Olympic gold medalist, rush was my inpsiration.
What event?
What Olympics and congratulations and keep rocking girl
100 years from now people will still be listening to Rush.
“The proper function of a man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.” -Neil Peart
RIP Neil, thank you for the music! Will always be a Rush fan.
How true
That was Jack London, not Neil Peart. Good sentiment though.
Where is the source of that quote?
wow awesome quote
NeglectedField yeah that was a Jack London quote. Anyway RIP Neil Peart my favorite drummer.
Released 40 years ago today. One of the best records ever made.
fvelazqzu.
It could be up there.
40th anniversary. WoW! Time flies. I came having heard this cover by Diana Drive: th-cam.com/video/sxumbg0jY5k/w-d-xo.html
Difficult to beat the original though. RIP Neil
It Jams forever man !!!!!
I was a junior in high school when Moving Pictures was released in early '81 and wore the grooves off of the record. It sounds just as fresh today as it did then.
So true It touched my soul genius stuff!!
The lyrics of this song are just so personal and powerful. Neil really was a shy person, but a musical genius.
He said it gave him the creeps when someone was starstruck by him. When the other two did meet and greets, Peart never went.
What about Tom Sawyer being a modern icon type?
Telling of the Lying Times and Orwellian strangeness of today, there's Witch Hunt:
The night is black without a moon, the air is thick and still
The vigilantes gather on the lonely torchlit hill
Features distorted in the flickering light, faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night, the mob moves like demons possessed
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right, confident their ways are best
Oh-oh-oh No
The righteous rise with burning eyes of hatred and ill will
Madmen fed on fear and lies, to beat and burn and kill
They say there are strangers who threaten us, our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness too dangerous in our theaters and bookstore shelves
Those who know what's best for us must rise and save us from ourselves
Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand
I just watched part of Geddy's book and an interview about what this song is really about. I can understand that when you've made it in the world, there are fleas and ticks just dieing to try and latch on to what you've worked so hard for, for your own reasons.
It might sound selfish to some, but I could completely understand withdrawing from everything and everyone, not knowing who you could actually trust as your friends and who were just vermin.
And it is good to know who has your back, usually the people that saw your raw talent and helped you just so could accomplish your dream. Not actually taking from you, just sharing in the moments.
Those are the friends until the end. I believe Neil was lucky to have that friendship.
Shy? Lol...Complete BS
Who here in 2024 and missing this?
Thank you Dad for having a good taste in music
Anthony Fon don’t all Dad’s have good taste in music
No
you're welcome son. you still are a disappointment however.
@@cyberprompt 😂😂😂
Anthony Fon , ok, so Neal Peart wasn't a Muslim @ this point in time, guys, go with The Way Truth and Life. John 14:6, it'll be ok,
In 1989, my best friend, a hardcore RUSH fan, took me to see them live in Oklahoma City. During the concert I went from casual listener to instant fan. After the show was over I insisted (against my friends wishes) that we follow the band to their hotel to meet them. We did and while Geddy Lee was politely signing my friends tour book I saw Neil Peart leap out of the limo and literally sprint past all the fans gathered by the front door. He was gone in a flash to calls of his name. I thought to myself at the time "What a jerk!". Years passed and I ended up working as a dj at a classic rock radio station. For the first time in my life I actually listened closely to the words of Limelight and recalled my friend telling me that Neil wrote all the lyrics for the band. It suddenly clicked in my mind. He wasn't a jerk at all. He was living his own words. "I have no heart to lie. I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend." Respect. Rest in peace Neil. The greatest drummer ever.
He was a Virgo also and many of them are like that..They hate attention and arent very social people.
As I read the line of neils quote geddy sang it weird coincidence 😂
@@levig384 Awesome! I love it when stuff like that happens!!
butternutcrunch it’s like he was he was calling me 😂
Nuke Vex there are no coincidences :)
Yes ladies and gentlemen you are witnessing the greatest drummer of ALL time . RIP Neil Peart
Don't forget he was a great lyrist as well ☝😊
Can we talk about how 3 men made so many amazing, long-lasting hits and a sound that fills the room with just 2 guitars, a drum set and their voices?! Rush is awesome!
The bassist,the guitarist ,drummer and vocalist there are 4 people bro
@@botgamingcodm5808 the bassist is the vocalist, this video shows him recording vocals and bass separately, so he’s not playing while singing
That's funny haha, yes still 3 people.
As far as that goes. I have heard from some musicians that less is more.
Especially when it comes to what sounds are coming through. One reason is because you can hear the instruments more clearly.
And it's allows the listener to keep track. I think that's somewhat accurate.
I myself like the idea of only dealing with two other people.
One may not be enough and four might be too many.
I have heard and seen that in some countries at least one. They had gotten three women presidents together and they found it was the perfect balance of perspectives. God bless and keep rocking with rush in the free world!
@@botgamingcodm5808кйфе
@botgamingcodm, you need to learn more about Rush.
Rest Easy Neil. Your sticks may have fallen silent but your solos and your lyrics live on forever
Neil Peart was the best ever RIP
Neil will never be forgotten he will always be with his fans #rush fly high
Well said 🙂🙂❤❤
Without question! He was the GOAT!
Your comment made me tear up 🥲♥️🎶🎵
RIP Neil. Man, lucky to see them live at least once.
Same here man
Saw them in Wichita KS in like 2014 or something. It was awesome lol my friends favorite song was this one and man I remember those sunny summer day's ripping the bong and crusing down the road. Good times man.
PingPong85 Saw them in Pittsburgh PA touring this album! Furthest seats away, we could touch the ceiling of the Civic arena! Best show ever! 😎✌️
I feel so grateful I was lucky enough to see Rush twice... memories I’ll cherish forever
@@anSRVenjoyer same here
I'm 60 always liked their music but this is my favorite
The band that makes me jump out of bed to start my day.
When I listen to RUSH, so do my nieghbors
Begin the day with a friendly voice, a companion unobtrusive.....
My get going morning song, it never fails to inspire and gets me moving to conquer the day: in a loud fashion.
R.I.P. TO THE GREATEST DRUMMER WHO EVER LIVED. YOU WILL BE HEAVILY MISSED.
He isnt the best drummer who ever lived. Even he had a drum teacher we would regularly see
@Eric Havnen yeah but at least we should agree he isn't crap.
opinion
John Gill no shit its an opinion. But it is a pretty strong opinion. Many people refer to Neil Peart as the greatest drummer of all time.
it doesn't matter how strong an opinion is its still an opinion. and what makes neil the greatest drummer of all time.
I was blaring Limelight at a stoplight tonight and the girl next to me was dancing to it in her car and she gave me a big smile and thumbs up 😁. Haha it was a great moment that’ll become a fond memory for us both. RUSH Forever! 🤘
Moving pictures was an incredible album, and yes, I have a talent for stating the obvious.
That’s killer, bro! It made me chuckle though because in about 1988 or 89 I had a Toyota 4x4 that had a big ol thumpin’ box in it (like, with 12 inch subs) behind the seat. I was only 18 or 19 years old, knew it all, and nobody could tell me shit. I came to a busy intersection one sunny afternoon and couldn’t understand why nobody was going on the green light…..? “Awe, man! They all must be jamming to my killer jams,” I thought as I slowly pulled into the intersection…. Right then, a HUGE fire engine 🚒 passed maybe 6 inches in front of my front bumper.
That was the day I learned life lesson #3. It’s not all about you. And that Rush will always save the day.😂🤘😎
One of those moments when you connect with a complete stranger.
You should have married her right there bro 😀 any girl who likes Rush is a keeper...
@@bige311 HAHA totally man! 😎
This is nothing short of a well orchestrated musical masterpiece. Thumbs up if you agree.😊
There’s no cover band that can capture his voice!!!!
Geddy Lee, the Wicked Witch of the Great White North, noone is better.
😂
MerkinMuffly Which Geddy are we talking about here? Geddy #1 on bass, Geddy #2 on keyboard and foot pedals, or Geddy #3 on lead and backing vocals? It's a little known fact that there are three Geddy Lees in Rush, so you'll have to be specific.
This is just too funny...
nysnowbird92 He counts as Geddy on lead vocals.
MerkinMuffly agreed
My god...this is over 35 years old! Old? Yes. An undying classic tune? Absolutely!
Yeah I'm 24 and love the song
+Guillermo Villacorta LMAO

RIP Neil Peart. Best drummer to ever walk the earth
@honorbound12 No, but he isn't the "Best drummer to ever walk the earth" either. He's one of the best, and many of the best have stated this...including Buddy Rich who stated that he was one of the best he's ever seen or heard...and that's saying something.
Top 3 rock drummer for sure.
@@MyDyerMaker Yep...and I'll put Bonham in there and judging by your name - you would agree 😁
@honorbound12 Drumming, or all music really is subjective and very personal. Rush clearly is part of the soundtrack for many lives. The nostalgia alone elevates people's views. Having written that, and given that the man just passed away (and meant so much to so many, and inspired so many present drummers), it's not cool to degrade him here.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. NEIL
RIP Neil. So sad. Can't believe it. Best rock drummer ever.
*Best Drummer ever
Next to John Bonham and Kieth Moon
@@edstarrs2195 Neil was better then both but at that point you're splitting hairs..
They are by far the best 3 drummers to ever live...
Bonham was actually intimidated by Peart. I’m also a huge Zeppelin fan. I’ve read that Bonham instructed everyone around him to never mention Peart’s name. They were both two different styles of drummers; both at the top of their style. Peart; a more progressive, technical drummer. Bonham; an incredible power drummer.
Whoa whoa u guys forgot ginger baker pleasee.. even Neal had a interview for ginger bakers documentary saying what a influence that mad man was.
The older I get, the more I appreciate the absolute, absolute genius.
Rush is for everyone
Agreed
In the year 78,000 AD, Rush will still continue to rock.
Larry Mentle i think mankind will have destroyed our planet by then, but I echo the sentiments !!

The best guitar solo ever. Truly unique. I appreciate Geddy, Neil, and Alex, and Alex's virtuosity really shines here. With Geddy's burping bass accompaniment and Neil driving the groove. Incredible.
Fun fact, Geddy is the genius of the band. His solo album is great when Alex's is straight ass with 3 bass players on his album.
@@tallskinnybassist8716 what an annoying comment youve made.
Alex himself said in an interview it is one of the best he's ever recorded, with all of the feeling, melodic complexity and spot-on whammy bar bends (very difficult) he thought it was his finest solo performance of their entire catalog.
Haha yea that slight negativity took me off guard.
I'm love and appreciate all music.
I'm sure Alex's solo album is marvelous.
Thank you very much though.
I will definitely listen to both of their solo albums now.
Have a blessed day and rock on!
And in regards to the original commenters comment I agree completely.
Alex really shines hear with his persuasion style selection and I am glad you noticed it as one of his best songs on the gee tar because that's what I was thinking.
I've been listening to them a lot lately and a lot at the beginning of the year 2023. And since 15 years ago when I discovered them in middle school.
This is some spot on Alex Lypsic talking through the guitar.
Excuse my spelling if incorrect my oppologies. As always much love and thank you!! Very much
I've seen Slayer many times and don't remember the shows. I seen Rush with Primus in the 90s and will never forget how Rush blew me away.

@ditt0headd 2112 and A Farewell to Kings are phenomenal albums.
How on earth do you even write a song like this?! It sounds so original, so unlike anything else yet so direct, youthful, unforced, natural.
You're born that way for real :O
one person has an idea, for another persons Idea, that another person has an idea for ;)
It's so timeless but still relevant to the way fame , popularity tends to change into a whole different path...many who lose their way aborting what they believed in or what they were doing it for...
I think you have the definition of RUSH.
It's timeless. A snapshot of his personality, simple and brilliant.
Celestial intervention perhaps
Agree or disagree, one of the best songs from the 80s.
Agree
Well, at least you said "One of" and not "The"
I agree with you.
Eric Johnson Agree 🌹🌟
Agree👍
One of the two most talented bands of All Time. Led Zep had Bohnam, John Paul and Jimmy Page.... Amazing!!
Neil is the greatest drummer Ever!! Geddy sang, played bass and keys, plus assisted with the song writing. All at an elite level I might add.
And, and.... Alex Lifeson is an unbelievable guitarist. Just try to play some of his licks, OMG!!
Neil Pert was a master on the drums,and he along with John Bonham ,were ahead of their time ❤
40 years later. 40 years. Not a day older than when it was released. Musical genius. Human heart and soul saturated throughout. Inner food for a deprived and depraved world.
I just left the comment in the comment above yours but I've been listening to him for 40 years. And I'm not an old man for you Millennials that are looking at it at least in my mind. When I listen to it I feel like I'm 22 damn best drug to ever come up with.
Thank you Blossom. You give me hope for the female gender. ;)

Sorry for your loss bro

How poignant. Sorry for your loss man, but sounds like a great memory
F loo r me this song gives me a rush that I didn't experience it has Avery well put together sound

Don't get me wrong, RUSH is the true beginning of true Prog Rock but no other progressive drummer will ever do what Neil did for the genra
RIP to the studio this was filmed in, it got shut down in 2003 and recently almost got destroyed by a fire. Still standing today, completely abandoned.
Edit: I've seen that this past summer it was demolished and the land is up for sale. It's sad to see it go.
Ahhh LeStudio. Many great bands came through those doors over the years back then
Symbol of the present times
All good things must come to an end. Sad, but true.
I wanna move in
@@awesomeawesome8350 probably would have to be completely demolished, really wet obviously lots of snow I bet it is filled with mold and rot. Better off building a new studio if you were rich.
The most talented 3 piece rock band ever, and among the best of all time.
+Hagen Steele Free's better and more talented
+james madison He said "among" the best of all time
+William Saldarriaga Daaaaaamn. It's tight. Jimi's Jimi and the rhythm section is no joke...but Neil Peart dude!
Ling Bon Much respect to Jimi and the boys, and even the likes of Cream, and others I'm forgetting. However, none of them had the run that Rush has had over the years.
Certainly Jimi and the boys are among the best as well, I agree.
+james madison NO!
Still cry Neil. Total Genius Rip I'm still crying meant to say that ❤
Garbage Punk/Death Metal head here - Rush will always have a special place in my heart, Forever. \m/
“All the world's indeed a stage, and we are merely players ” Rest in Peace Mr. Peart 🙏🏻
I got highly inebriated that day he passed. Part of My childhood was gone. RIP Neil (The Professor)
Well, Peart owes that one to Mr. Shakespeare.
That verse describes whats going on right now with the media hype of the wirus.
Atheists do NOT rest in peace he wasn't a Catholic so why are you using a Catholic prayer to the dead which is not biblical?
@@cheswajda9803 yeah he plagiarized Ayn Rand too.
I was never really into this genre growing up but my brother was always a big Rush fan. Now that I’m older and branched out I see why. These guys fucking rock.
They really f#"*ing ROCK !! 🙂🙂🙂
My kids now 26 and 27 grew up listening to my old but priceless music and still do 👍🎶
I had the same dynamic with my older brother. He was RUSH, I was REM, never the twain shall meet (though, I have to admit, I did own Permanent Waves, which remains my favorite RUSH album). Now that I'm older, I've gained a much deeper appreciation for the band.
sorry to hear that man.
Same here. They're awesome 👌
Released in 1981, and still feels fresh and innovative.
Prepare to be Rushified!!!
Best band to ever hit a stage when you consider rock jamming, lyric writing, mastering their instruments, devoting their lives to tour for their fans while through all of it, being best friends, and family men! I was privileged to be part of this era and a fan for over 40 years!!
No doubt
True musicians
Well im at bit out of place here but im a 24 year old. Never got to see rush in there prime. However, I recently went and saw primus, primus did a FANTASTIC job when they did there rush tribute. They mimicked rushes stage layout and everything. Had the duel neck bass and guitar. My God was it awesome. I just wish I could have witnessed rush in there prime.
@@billydakid6127 Proud of you...you apparently have good taste in music...
@@nebula1924 My friend took me to my first show in 1982 because he had an extra ticket since he broke up with his girlfriend. GOD Bless that girlfriend!!! I was immediately hooked by their stage presence, Red Barchetta and the song Countdown from Signals blew my mind...
Man..RUSH in their prime were the best. Every single member.
Best Canadian band
They were in their prime until the end.
@@alexmurphy5289 no they weren't
Dereck Deegan Maybe not prime in the same way, but Alex Murphy has a point. They seemed to have gotten better with time, except for Geddy’s voice.
th-cam.com/video/OzmMAHbY-8w/w-d-xo.html absolutely 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
The ultimate example of music that will always have it's place in time
I don't go to many live concerts but I did see RUSH in MN. As soon as they took the stage and started playing the ENTIRE audience was on their feet and stood up for the ENTIRE concert.
The Gorge 3x
For those of you young kids who don't know the band Rush here's the background: 24 gold records and 14 platinum records (including 3 multi-platinum) 5th behind The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kiss & Aerosmith for most consecutive gold/platinum studio albums by a rock band in the US....RIP NEIL
I’m a kid and I probably listened to rush and other rock bands when I wasn’t even born or even a thought
I'm 15. I listen to classic rock, hard rock, and progressive rock. I think all pop "music" is shit.
Not gonna lie; get chills when Alex's guitar comes in right before the final chorus after his solo.
The arpeggios in the chorus get me every time.
The drum fill at the end of the first chorus is what gets me.
there is noooooo one better !!!!!
That solid guitar riff at 3:13 is my favorite part too, it's literally the underlying theme
I am more than a little late to their music. I started liking them at 23, a year ago. My boyfriends dad has these concert tapes and we watched a whole concert and I was BLOWN AWAY! I absolutely love them! That drummer was crazy talented. I have never seen anyone with that big of a drum set! Their concerts looked like they were a blast. Truly wish I could have seen them. ❤
That was Neil Peart. He has since passed away. Also, the studio where this was recorded, Le Studio was abandoned for many years and burned down in an arson fire in 2017.
You will like Caress of Steel (entire album), 2112, Hemispheres (entire album) and Moving Pictures (entire album). The song Witch Hunt is more meaningful today than ever.
The night is black without a moon, the air is thick and still
The vigilantes gather on the lonely torchlit hill
Features distorted in the flickering light, faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night, the mob moves like demons possessed
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right, confident their ways are best
Oh-oh-oh No
The righteous rise with burning eyes of hatred and ill will
Madmen fed on fear and lies, to beat and burn and kill
They say there are strangers who threaten us, our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness too dangerous in our theaters and bookstore shelves
Those who know what's best for us must rise and save us from ourselves
Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand
Your never too late for rush. That’s the beauty of rush. I started listening to them in the 70’s and every time I listen it’s a new experience
Rush was just talented. That guitar was groundbreaking at the time.
This is my favorite song. The bass line is immaculate, the drumming sparkles, the guitar solo is among the best ever and the lyrics cut deep.
My favourite too - love the bass!
I cant believe Neil Peart. He was incredible.
Its always immaculate. he wrote it! Grin! well his baseline anyway! Pert is the brains behind this! Whatever
Alex lifeson
Geddy lees voice so great
Everyones talking about Neil and Geddy I mean they’re both great but Alex is killing it on the guitar
Probably his best solo, says me.
Neil is the GOAT
agreed
@@HiVizCamo This has always been my favorite of his. I like Alex more for his rythym and arrangement, but this is a knock it out of the park solo.
Absolutely!
How 3 guys created music euphoria. Neil Peart is a god on drums. You let the drummers write all the fricking songs and design the album covers
no comments on the solo? one of the most moving, patient solos ever. that note is still ringing in an alternate universe
#2 solo right after The Garden
yup. The Garden is sooooooo fucking good.
Alejandro Hidalgo guns n roses - the garden? If so couldn't agree more.
utubedestroysmytime IMHO, one of the most underrated solos in the history of Rock Music.
epic solo. although the guitar playing is incredible, it's the drumming accompaniment that really makes me feel it. the solo starts in a 3/4 timing and transitions to 4/4 for the climactic build. prog rock at its finest.
I'd like to thank Danny Sexbang for talking about Rush nonstop and making me say, "fuck it, let's listen to Rush."
Same, Kate.
ah man same here. Dan introduced me to Rush and now I found out that I love 70's and 80's music lmao
Hmm... .... ....
.... fk it, let's listen to Rush.
I was listening to Rush before I ever knew about the Game Grumps
Dan has a really good taste for prog rock bands, I can remember him talking about Gentle Giant, Blue Oyster Cult, Genesis and of course, Rush
THE MOST UNIQUE ROCK BAND EVER IS RUSH. THEY ARE THE GOAT ROCK BAND IMO.
RIP Niel. Gave his life for his....our craft.
RIP Neil. This was my favorite song
Same here!
Yes this and subdivisions 🎤🎸🎹🎶🤘
And the best car song of all time Red barchetta
So many great songs by RUSH. Songs of my youth...now growing old to all of those great songs written by Neil. Not only the best drummer/percussionist of rock but also one of the best lyricists rock ever produced. RIP Neil Peart
Umm...YYZ?
I just discovered this song, haven't felt this happy in a while.
you don't "listen"to Rush. you experience them.
@@AndresGarcia719 Exactly :)
Glad it makes you happy man
@@roananmccaa thanks man
This comment makes me so happy!!!
This is my favorite. I know most Rush fans will say wtf ? But i love this one!
definitely one of rush's best songs.
I love Analog Kid too tho i think it's more underrated
Bonham and Peart are finally together. R.I.P. to a legend
Vinnie Paul
Clive Burr
Ginger Baker
Keith Moon
With Krupa and Rich smiling at what they help create beating down on their skins with them all!!!
And Moon.
@@charliedontsurf7360 Rich would still be pacing about, belittling any sort of music he didn't like.
