  • I couldn't leave it too long before doing another Rush reaction. They have been stuck in my head ever since my first reaction to Tom Sawyer. You guys threw so many songs at me to check out next but I had to go with The Spirit Of Radio.
    Here is my reaction to hearing Rush - The Spirit Of Radio for the first time. I hope you enjoy it!

    You don't have to worry about this band blocking you. This is one of the most fan friendly bands you'll ever come across. They produced pretty much an album every year and they toured every album. They really really wanted to make sure that whatever they produced on their albums they could reproduce live for their fans. It was just an amazing group of talented folks who cared so much about the quality of their craft. I can't wait for you to take this journey. There's so much for you to enjoy

    'The spirit of radio' in 1980 marked a musical change for Rush after their 70's format of making epic and complex prog rock music... After the 1978 album 'Hemispheres'... Rush were burned out making musically challenging records and wanted to have fun again... In 1979, there was a new British music scene in post-punk rock UK and bands like The Police... Joy Division... The Human League... Simple Minds... were breaking big w/ a new sound called 'new wave'... and Rush's members became fans of that sound that incorporated synthesizers and beats.
    As a result, Rush produced the album 'Permanent waves' and it gave a huge nod to the British new wave bands... it became a platinum record and took Rush into the 80's. They still experimented w/ epic songs and complex structures but it was in a simpler and catchier approach.

      It's unfortunate so few Rush fans are aware Neil Peart wrote the lyrics of the vast majority of their songs.
      If Neil had never touched a drum Stick,
      He would have gone down in history as one of the most important "sonic story tellers" in music history.

    RUSH is one of those bands that never disappoints! The entire 2112 album is amazing! Another band with a unique sound that has a killer first album is Boston! No need to apologize for listening to different artists or genres.God created us all with creativity,and music is a prime example.We may not all like the same thing,but we can appreciate gift of all kinds of music.I grew up in the 70's and love that time period of music.I live 70's rock and metal.My dad taught me to live old style crooners like Bobby Darin and Tony Bennet.I adore really old ragtime jazz,especially Louis Armstrong! I love Motown,like the Temptations and Sam Cooke,Etta James,and so many early greats.I love Chris Stapleton and bluesy Country.I love John Denver and Karen Carpenter to soothe my soul...Who doesn't love some psychedelic 60's vibe,and the grit of Janis Joplin and Joe Cocker? The point is,it's a great big world full of creative music out there, and what hits you a certain way,may not hit somebody else exactly the same. It's all good.The beauty is in the discovery!🎛🎸🥁🎻🎺🎹🎙🎶😉😎

    I'm glad you're back in that infinite rabbit whole that is Rush. This is no doubt an amazing song and sure has a lot of people reacting to it. However, you're reacting to one of their very few radio hits. Rush, to a music lover is way more than their hits. But still, their hits are still great pieces of music. If you're going to stick to the hits, I would recommend Subdivisions and Limelight (2 of my all time favourite songs to play on the drums), Step 2: the Fear Trilogy. The order is in reverse so that the first song recorded was part 3 Witch Hunt (1981 Moving Pictures) the second song recorded was The Weapon (1982 Signals) and finally The Enemy within (1984 Grace under Pressure). Listen to them in that order. Pay extra attention to the amazing lyrics in all 3 songs. They all talk about fear but in three different aspects: Fear of the unknown (Witch Hunt), fear of power in a broad sense (The Weapon) and lastly the fears within ourselves (The Enemy Within). All 3 songs are widely different in style and sound and 3 rush staples for fans. Check them out... and then we can get serious bro !!!!

A radio station that plays all types of popular music, which is why the song changes up from pop to reggae to harder rock, like changing stations on a dial. It also shows dj's and reporters {Jim Ladd, Bob Coburn, Donna Halper, David Marsden} in the US and Canada who had a big hand in playing Rush. This song was a Thank You from Rush for keeping not just Their music alive and popular, but so many others.

    62 years of age, 11 Rush concerts, and still can't believe how talented and timeless this band was (very sad to say was). You will enjoy any song you react to. Here are some of my recommendations. YYZ whatever version (studio, 1988, Rio), Leave that thing alone, La Villa Strangiato, Where's my thing, Xanadu (81 live), A Farewell to Kings, Working Man, The Necromancer, The Trees, Cyngus X-1, Between the Wheels, Limelight, The Available Light, and just too many more. Enjoy and welcome to the never ending bottle of hot sauce!

    Yet another band that will put you on a life changing journey. Three master musicians who made music like you've never heard and never will hear again.

  • @BigTroyT
    @BigTroyT 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Rush had a rule: as difficult as their music was to create, they would not perform a song live that they couldn't recreate themselves, just the three of them. No backing tracks, no extra musicians backstage, none of that. So, Alex will play double-necked guitars (6-string and 12-string electric guitars) or will have an acoustic guitar on a stand that he can play before switching immediately to the electric he has strapped on, AND will play Moog Taurus bass pedals with his feet. Geddy also sometimes plays a double-neck (6-string guitar and bass guitar), plus keyboards, plus Taurus pedals, AND he sings. And Neil plays one of the largest drum kits ever seen, and will use every single piece on the kit in some songs. There are a couple of different live performances of their song Xanadu - one from the late 70s and one from 1980 - where you get a real appreciation for them playing a very elaborate song live, playing ALL of those different instruments themselves, and it sounds like a 12-piece band.
    Rush was a HUGE influence on a ton of other bands - and not just progressive rock bands but all kinds, from Kiss to the Foo Fighters to Tool to Primus to Nine Inch Nails to the Smashing Pumpkins and SOOOOO many more. The reason was simple: Rush held themselves to an astoundingly high level of musicianship, writing songs that they knew ahead of time would be very difficult to play live, so that they would never get bored no matter how many times they played them. And in that way, they won massive respect from musicians across the board. All the while, they never forgot that the music still had to be great, and they delivered there too. I was lucky enough to see them live 9 times, and those are very treasured memories.

    Pearl Jam has a reputation of having one of the most loyal fanbases around, but Rush's fanbase is on a whole other level above that. They barely ever got played on the radio back in the day yet every concert was packed and every show was an absolute blast because everyone there was so into it. I have seen them 5 times and that count is on the low end for the typical Rush fan. Truly one of the most amazing bands to ever exist. Every show is like 75% musicians in the audience. Talk to ANYBODY who is big in rock and metal today and ask them who their influences are and Rush is mentioned just about every time.
    Check out the Live from Rio version of YYZ, which is an instrumental track off the same album as Tom Sawyer. Your life will never be the same after you see that performance.

    If you want to hear a more heavy side of rush... with crazy guitar n bass activity.. check out one of their older tunes "Working Man"....... or even the Epic "2112". Also.. Since your diving into musicianship... Check out concert video of Neil Peart performing solo.. ... jaw dropping stuff on the drums... I think he has over 100 pieces in his combo kit. Good Job!

  • @jacobimonsoon

    If you want some good advice, there are many many good Rush songs. But short cut to 2112 the full deal with the animated video it will literally blow you away. Also check out Neil's drum solo i think from Frankfurt, about the best drum solo by anyone ever. If you want a couple songs, The Trees, Limelight, Necromancer, Subdivisions, ... but nothing is more impressive than 2112 with visual aids.

    I found your "hunch" that Geddy's voice could be more powerful to be kinda funny. He was initially known for having a very powerful, high, and almost shrill voice on some of the early RUSH stuff. You should listen to the end of Cygnus X-1 off of "Hemispheres" if you want proof of that. This period of the "Permanent Waves" and "Moving Pictures" albums is where the band went from epic 15-20 minute suites to five to six minute songs; and Geddy modified his singing to be less piercing. This period is also where The Police were a HUGE influence--witness the "reggae" section of the song mimicking jumping around on the radio dial looking for some music you like.
