Encore! Red Barchetta !
Very nice! Is there anything you guys cant cover?
Enemy within is good too
so how abouyt fox on the run since no slipknot covers
Y’all just keep getting better & better! There are times when I think ur voice is too pretty for a song & then u knock it out of the park!!! Great job 👏 🎊 🎉
Can we just say mad respect to the drummer. Outstanding
He nailed it
Sam-tastic!
@@jpducati916 Sam Peart
But he still looks like the hamburglar
You took the words out of my mouth.
As a drummer, I love seeing/hearing drummers getting to flex their skills! Mad props here!
Agreed, totally amazing. I've seen interviews with Neil talking about how hard the drums are in this song. If Neil Peart says it's hard, I tend to believe that.
One does not simply “cover” Neil Peart, you either do a bad job or you show that you care and do what I just witnessed. Slow, amazed clap, with that weird stare that says “I can’t believe what I just saw”. Bravo. Everyone else was amazing as well. Between you guys and Liliac I have hope for the future of TALENTED rock musicians.
Well said.
Do. Or do not. There is no try.
Man I love this. I'm an older guy, and seeing this new generation of fantastic musicians pay tribute to a band that was so important to me when I was younger warms my heart. What's best about this is that they deviated just enough to make it interesting (those harmonies!), but keep the original's soul. WELL DONE!
Drums! Vocals!! Guitars!!! Perfection!!!!
Out freaking standing the drummer and the lead guitarist hell the whole band jams like crazy. I'm hooked with this band. I'm addicted really bad. Amazing
I’m a veteran and musician, and rock music plays an integral part in my life. You guys and lady, did real justice to this song. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a very SPOT-ON performance by all of you! You kicked ASS!!!
Agreed. Better than the post-Neil renditions by the OGs.... Did I just say that?!?!
Rush fan here, This is great F211. Very glad you worked on this song and put it up on your channel. So nice to hear this covered so well!
Covering Rush is quite a flex, and you guys rocked it.
When I saw this I was thinking to myself, "Aw shit, another Tom Sawyer cover" but you guys really nailed it. Mad props to Audra, she took it to another level without just trying to sound like Geddy Lee.
Must be my birthday 🎉!!!! HELL YEAH RUSH!
Probably the most impressive thing I've seen you do yet. You all just plain nailed it. And, yeah, huge props to the drummer. No small feat.
Feels like 1981! Nailed it. You're such a talent. Keep it rockin'! Props to the cinematographer they nailed the vibe.
Not sure why it has taken me this long to find you guys but my god. Your covers are out of this world! Every single one is a masterpiece. Well put together and I love how you always stick as close to the original as much as you can. Definitely a hardcore fan now!
We’re glad to have you here!
By far the best covers I've ever seen. Often better than the originals.
Enjoying every cover that comes out! I need a jukebox or something to show the love of music 🎶🎵
@@GordMcFee Really often better than the originals.
It's obvious Tyler and I have different views of what makes a good cover.
It's about time we got a Rush cover. Greatest band of all time!!!
When the drummer gets to pick the next song the band is covering.
Outstanding! Neil Peart would be proud of your percussion execution! Bass and guitar on point, and beautiful Audra slayed the vocals styling! And the 70's synth was awesome.
Jeezus that was good. Terrific performance, vocals, drums, bass, guitar - all top drawer. I'm Canadian and I guarantee Rush would love it I love it! Outstanding!!
Geddy, Alex & Neil would ABSOLUTELY approve. You all nailed this gem of a song!
I'm Canadian and this cover gets my seal of approval. I love it!
Thank you! Rush has been my favorite band since 1976 (2112 album). Few bands cover Rush because they created great, but very challenging to play music. Props to all members of the band for an excellent cover of a great song that is a challenge to play.
Rush is my favorite band as well, ever since hearing Limelight on the radio on the way to school one day in 10th grade. I had the pleasure of seeing them live in Texas in 2004.
If you haven't heard Allegaeon's Rush covers, definitely check those out! They're certainly among the best, if not the best, Rush covers ever made.
I was 19 & loved Rush , they were my generations rock& roll icons. This band did a very righteous salute to the song, band & spirit of the music. I salute them. 🤘
This is one of the best song covers I've heard in a very long time. Outstanding vocals and instrumentation.
I love it! Feels like no one covers Rush, and I love Rush, 2112 is my favorite song of all time. This is an excellent song and an excellent cover!
Couldn’t agree more. This is excellent and I hardly ever hear anyone attempt to cover the holy trinity of rock. 2112 is still my fave from when both learned we loved it years ago.
Tom Sawyer is literally almost perfect as far as Rush songs go and I think now I learned the only way it could be improved upon (at least for me) was female vocals. I really enjoyed hearing the emotional inflections in her voice in this one and the overlaid harmonies. It managed to improve upon the original song for me while still keeping the spirit of the original. Listening to their early stuff (which was still good, mind you) you can tell they’ve come so far as a musical group.
Covering Rush requires a level of skill that naturally limits the amount of covers.
Check out Allegaeon's cover of Subdivisions, one of my favorite Rush covers of all time.
Fleesh has some good Rush covers too, actually a whole tribute album.
Favorite: Dreamline
Simply beyond words! Mad skills deserve mad props!
A Rush song has got to be some of the most technical ensemble to play...you guys nailed it!!! Pure eargasm!!! 👏👏👏👍
I cannot get over her vocals on these rock covers and actually all of these musicians are awesome!
The cover is fantastic, the band did great, and the video is well done with the camera work and editing. There's something about that coloring/filtering that is so cool. Also, her rasp every time she said "catch" gave me chills. LOVE it!
I definitely came into the comments hoping to see love for Sam and his drums and Audra adding some distortion into her voice. I don't think I've ever heard her break her voice like that and it was surprising. Super great job to everyone, Bass and guitar were top notch too!
Okay, covering Rush takes balls, and OMG you delivered! Have watched a few of your covers before, but now I am sold, you can do literally anything and knock it out of the metaphorical park!
have to admit. Grew up on Rush and you guys nailed it with a level of which I would listen again and again. Loved it! thank you for not only doing it right, but doing it justice.
my favorite cover band playing my favorite band! AWESOME!
Classics are hard to cover with integrity. You folks did a great service to a timeless piece.
Hear that again and again! So close to the original!!! Neil would be proud in heaven listening this young gun on drums 👏👏👏 You’re the man🤩
As a Canadian fan, very well done. Huge compliments to all of you for such a great job. Keep it up 😊
That was a damn fine Rush cover right there
Amazingly good, both vocally and instrumentally. Neil would be proud of the drummer.
The energy, extreme talent of all the musicians and singer is just mind blowing to me! Everything is so tight and spot on!! I love how they always put their own flair on each cover! OUTSTANDING!!!
You don't see many Rush or Megadeth covers because they're so dang hard to play! Much respect to you guys for pulling this off.
I've been a Rush fan since the 70's and this is by far one of the best covers! Well Done!
I opened my feed today and did a double take--F211 doing Rush?! This absolutely made my day. Awesome job guys, you did the song justice!
Absolutley phenomenal job and MAD props to Sam man. He nailed it! Long live RUSH and The Professor!🤘🤘
I'll be honest, I've been a Rush fan since the 70's and I wasn't sure a girl could do justice to the vocals. I've also been a fan of this group since I first found them a year or so ago. well once again Audra and the guys did not disappoint. keep the great music coming and i really hope you guys get all you want from this life.
Actually I am not surprised that a female can do justice to Geddy's high pitch :)
But I also think Sam was the MVP on this track.
Y'all just keep getting better and better. ROCK THE Fn ON
There aren't too many bands who will cover Rush songs, for obvious reasons. And I will admit, I was expecting a total Shitshow. Thank you for proving me wrong. You folks just absolutely killed it. The vocals were killer. The harmonies added a flavor that's never been a Rush thing. But, it sure added to the vocal package. I love it.
Love F211, love Rush. What a surprise - never expected it. But I knew they would do an awesome job! Xx
Awesome! Neil is smiling down today!
As an old guy that's been playing guitar for 52 years and has seen and heard many bands and artists. I give them a
👍👍
That made my blood run cold. Covers of Rush are quite uncommon. They're one of my all time favourite band. RIP Neil Peart, the undisputed best drummer ever.
I tell you what, you did the song justice too. 10/10 from me, a dedicated Rush fan since before you were born. Tom Sawyer was the first Rush single I has, and Moving Pictures followed soon after. I really loved the lighting effects too, just like Rushes own set, but a lot smaller.
Pleeeeze cover some more Rush. Just for me and the countless other Rush fans out there.
Love you guys. TTFN.
That is a note for note reproduction of the original! Bravo!!!!!
Absolutely outstanding!!! I love Rush and you guys unlocked a new level of awesomeness with this cover!!! Big shout out to Mr. Gilman for the amazing drumming!!! Love y'all!!! 😍
PS: who's old enough to remember that this song is from the soundtrack of the first version of the show MacGyver?
Great job. You did Geddy, Alex, and Neil proud.
Hell yes!! That style and look of venue seems to suite yall perfect with this song!!
Bravo, fantastic job by the whole band! And I enjoyed the addition of vocal harmonies.
Got a new Favorite F211 video!!! Great job guys!
The cymbal work = awesome !!!
Anyone else get MAD CHILLS when the second line vocals came in, had to immediately put on DT-770's and listen in top quality and restart the video.
Holy gaaawdamn I love you guys!! Spreading the word, and getting the hype going for the band!!
Killer drums, Bass, guitar and vocals. Absolutely amazing. Loved it!!!!
Love hearing you guys cover the classics! Sounds great!
I get chills every time I watch this. Not even YYNOT could do this any better.
Totally agree!! Not even Rockey Kunar of YYNOT .
This was the first cover and first time hearing of you. It will not be the last I can imagine if they're done as well as this. Just amazing.
Nice job and props to the drummer! So few cover Rush.
👍 to the bassist & the drummer
OMG YOU GUYS CRUSH IT !
Going to be going through your catalog and can’t wait !
Cheers !
This super technical cover was perfect and y'all pulled the classic 80s Rush music video to a tee too. Damn y'all are good at this!
Your Bassist, brought the correct Bass for the job. "RUSH to 11" You guys ROCK
This just looks fucking fantastic. And Audra’s voice is sooo clear
Tom Sawyer, as pop(-rock) as it gets! A succesfull approach, sounding warm and catchy , bravo FtE!
Ryan was throwing that chill 70's vibe hard. Excellent job man!
I loved the 'Full 80's Concert' feel. Great cover of a great tune.
Damn, covering Rush is a HUGE task, mostly cuz it invites extreme criticism from their fans for any number of reasons.
With that said, as a fan of Rush for the last 35 years, I can honestly say that this is one of the BEST covers I've heard. I expected some extra vocal harmonies and they did the job of adding just enough color to the melodies, and the rest of the band really nailed their parts. What I didn't expect was for an actual keyboard to be featured in the video, but I thought that was a nice touch.
All in all, I really enjoyed this! I almost shared it with my brother, who's an even BIGGER Rush snob, but he'd probably find a reason to complain so he's not allowed in this club, lol. Great work, everyone!!!
That drummer is insane!!
Best cover of Tom Sawyer I've ever seen.
Check out YBR band th-cam.com/video/TBOBqZA9e-M/w-d-xo.html also th-cam.com/video/QpEDRR5XYWo/w-d-xo.html You will want to watch the whole show !
this is good but the best Rush cover band by far is yynot. Check them out as well if you like Rush. Compliments for this cover anyways, nice job.
@@ingovaneijden966 You got to be kidding. I couldn't listen to her voice for more than 10 seconds.
@@myway148 Patty is a fabulous singer. Female geddy. And ofcourse not everybody's cup of tea. Don 't get me wrong: i like this cover and band but Patty does have that raw edge in her voice i like
Holy smoke!! It takes massive skills to cover Rush. Fantastic!!
Loved it! Well done! One of Rush’s most difficult pieces and you nailed it!
Absolutely awesome! One of your all-time best!
Wow, taking a step up in difficulty level with a RUSH cover. Nicely done!
Geddy and Alex would love this. Mini Moog, Gibson guitar, correct cymbals, and the growl
WOW!!! Outstanding work. Audra’s vocal work on point as always, but damn was Sam channeling his inner Neil on this one or what! Killer drum work.
GREAT cover of a classic track. All four musicians putting in 110%. As close to note-for-note and bend-for-bend as I can detect. Well done! Love to see you do more Rush.
Ok, that's officially one of your most awesome covers!! ❤️
Love the 80s-ish stage effects a. nd lighting. Nicely done. Great cover.
idk maybe it's just me, but i love that the bass player was also doing keyboards; feels like an extra little nod to Geddy Lee
that drummer !! wow dude ... prrrops
Great rendition! Closed my eyes while listening to this song and found myself thinking I was listening to Rush.
Love the ambition. Excellent. very cool.
I was skeptical going in, but you guys nailed it!🙂
I'm a lifelong fan of Rush from the very beginning & I have to say that this is the best cover of this song that I've seen yet. The musicianship is great & Audra kills it on vocals. I will definitely check out more of your videos. Thanks for making an old man smile. It's refreshing to see the younger generation playing some meaningful music instead of some of the junk that's out there nowadays.
Wow, wow and a thousand times Wow! Amazing Audra's evolution, her voice, even her body movements dancing in the wave finally released! Ryan even dares with keyboards, replacing Sam! Sam, oh my gosh, this is the first time I've ever felt like I sounded like Tool's drummer!!!! And Matt, if he's brave and dares to discover it, he has the conditions to be a new Jimmy Page...
I'm an old rocker, maybe too old, who knows what the hell Time is... Since the first time I heard First to Eleven, over 2 years ago, was a shock. I felt deep down that they were some very special talented guys. Something very rare that I had already experienced and I thought I would never discover in more musicians. And I thought, but they're just kids! How is it possible! During these two years something inside me refused to believe it was true.
Now what I say with amazement is that not only have you not disappointed my initial crush, but in each new song you break the limits of my expectations and you teach me to love bands that I already thought I loved. Thank you, just thank you
From one old rocker to another, I agree with all that 👆 very well put. F211 are something really special. I wish they'd tour near me (the UK) I'd buy tickets in a heartbeat
@@EdmundPaddington
Thanks man! When we talk about the music we love, words try to approximate but often do not accurately describe what one is trying to convey. It is a deeper feeling, a subjective experience, a personal heartbeat. That's why it's so great to meet someone who knows what you're talking about inside. I hope you are lucky and you can see this wonderful band in the UK as soon as possible. 🤘
Very nice comment CDCY. Your statement about bands you love reminded me that F211 teaches me to love bands I had no idea I would love. Their covers/versions are so "clear" or something, I just have a way easier time hearing what the song is about. Remarkable as their covers are completely faithful to the originals imho. I'd love to see them live!
@@velixzeen
@velixzeen
Imho? Who gave you the authority to judge that your opinion is humble? Sorry, it's a joke. Now, seriously speaking,
Yes, it really is a mystery. How is it possible that a Cover awakens in us a more intense emotion, a deeper passion than the original song? No doubt because it is not just a copy. Nor is it just a job of mixing the audio of the video, as much as behind all these videos that are uploaded, I have no doubt that there is a great editing genius. But it is much more. These guys connect with the spirit of the song, with the essence of its harmony. And then they update and reinterpret it in their own way. The closest simile would be with a theatrical or cinematographic script, which would be like the original song, and the interpretation of those roles by a great actor. Not only does he live his role as if it were real, but he also brings his own talent and imagination, giving it a personal touch, which would be like these F211 Covers.
And that magical connection is not learned in any music school, it is a very rare innate talent. In a school you can develop and practice the technique of the instrument, study arrangement and composition structures or perfect your natural voice range, but that mysterious connection I'm talking about is not learned with the best teachers or with many thousands of hours of practice. It is a very special gift, that you have or you don't have. And the amazing thing is that these guys have it.
And with this, without intending to, they become teachers who teach us to love and rediscover music to those of us who, for many years, already believed we were good lovers...
Good luck "velixzeen", Rush fan 🤘
Literally crushed it from every aspect 🙌
An amazing cover of a classic! I've always been a huge classic rock fan and I've already checked out some of your other classic rock covers, and I love em all! Thank so much you for this :) Y'all are rockstars!
They Nailed GNR "November Rain" also!
Excellent musicianship! Love you guys!
You all nailed ! 👏
This is absolutely amazing. Vocals and instrumentals are PERFECT...!
No, they are not, but it is still a great effort. For example, the quads played by the drummer in the solo section are played incorrectly, they are quads for a reason, not single-stroke 4s.
Awesome! High praise for taking on the best of the best! Solid!
❤❤man did I enjoy that!!! Really a total winner ❤❤
Whoa! This was fly...Outstanding job! You guys did the song proud for sure. I remember buying this album on vinyl when it came out haha 🤣 Keep Rockin' it! 💙💛
Definitely nailed it ❣️Just wow!!! Keep going folks👏👏👏
Awesome cover rendition as ALWAYS
RIP Cornelius Ellwood Peart 🙏 aka
Neil ( Pie-art ) Peart
After several decades and countless versions of Tom Sawyer I could finally understand the lyrics.
I love the video production here 😁 way more than filters y'all went all out on the retro aesthetic
(obviously lighting was a big part of it!!)
