#rushreaction #rush #progressiverock #musicreactions #musicreview
Their first instrumental. When the album came out and we heard it, we were blown away. Instrumentals weren't common, and it was all rock and jazzy and amazing!
And he hasn't even started singing yet. LOL. Just the best rock instrumental ever played.
Absolute and unsurpassed masters of their craft. True greatness.
you'd absolutely love their song "Natural Science" from their "rush in rio" dvd/album
"that guitar solo is taught in the great music schools as one of the best examples of musical phrases that ask and answer a question. It is truly Bach, Beethoven, Mozart level brilliance."
Yes!!! You hit the first two that I would always recommend to people getting into Rush - this song not only exemplifies what makes them special, but it also puts on display Alex's mastery of his craft. He is perhaps, criminally, the most under-rated guitarist. He's amazing... as they all are.
Fantastic reaction! I still get chills after listening for the 1000th time. Your journey is just beginning! enjoy the best power trio to ever walk this earth!
La Villa Strangiato is an instrumental piece that was based on a series of nightmares that Alex had. If you'd like to see him and Geddy really going off on their respective instruments, check out Working Man Live In Cleveland from their Time Machine Tour; if you'd like to see Neil really going off on his drums, check out YYZ Live In Rio, and his Live In Frankfurt Drum Solo from their R30 tour. Cheers from Canada!
🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥
this instrumental is timeless still sounds as fresh today as it did 45 years ago and a song you never get fed up listening to
Ahhh my boys!!! And that's how its done!
Ahh three hours of
Of awesome showmanship, they had so much fun on stage. Delivered their musical souls to us
Cheers
You know bro!! You see it the same way as All us Rush have from the beginning. It's a journey. AND 3 Awsome guys did it for us to raise a family. Or 2. Js. Neil went through a tragedy and wrote a book about it. So much info. Back in the day they were so personal. But hey, RIP Neil!! Almost 3 years. Damn!
I love your reaction. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely adore your reactions.
They called themselves "THE WORLD'S SMALLEST SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA"
I like your enthusiasm & appreciation of THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME!
I am a 48 year NO BIGGER FAN of The Great Triumvirate.
Other than the fine folk of Cleveland , Ohio there is NO ONE in the U.S. that has been a RUSH Fanatic longer than yours truly simply because my GF gave me their self-titled debut album as soon as it was released in the U.S. in June, 1974 by Mercury Records.
I was 14.
The INSTANT the stylus contacted vinyl and I heard Geddy's voice be a PERFECT match for the incredible sound I was hooked for life. I still have that debut album 48 years later along with all of the others from the 70's & 80's & beyond.
It was a 4th instrument for the band. And yes you were correct. The BASS guitarist and vocalist is playing foot petal synth. AND playing BASS. AND SINGING. AND MOVING THE MIC WITH HIS NOSE.
ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
They are simply the GREATEST musicians in one band IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC!
The drummer Neil Peart is acclaimed by 98% of ROCK fans as the GOAT.
During his heyday in the late 80's. Eddie Van Halen was asked during a press conference how it felt to be the GREATEST guitar player in the world. His reply?
"I don't know. You need to go ask Alex Lifeson"
Three Polymaths.
I saw them twice. 1st time was January 15th, 1977 on the "All the World's a Stage" tour.
I was FRONT ROW CENTER WITH ARMS ON STAGE. I could have easily reached out & touched my heroes. Of course I did not. I was 16 & attended by myself.
To this day the best show I ever witnessed & I am 62. Back in the 70's EVERY arena show was General Admission seating which meant there were NO assigned seats. Which meant you arrive several hours before the doors open and wait at the entrance ALWAYS at the front of the line. Once the doors open it was tear your ticket and RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
I saw them again in February 1980 on the Permanent Waves tour.
MAGICAL
The greatest
1.Before & After
2.Beneath/Between/ Behind
3. 2112
4. The Spirit of Radio
There are two lesser known numbers & two more familiar tunes.
Hey bud, new subscriber here. I'm digging your journey through Rush. When I first heard them in 1980 I my reaction was a lot like yours. Complete excitement and awe. I had only been playing drums for about7 months at that time. 43 years later I still get chills listening to certain cuts.
I would suggest the Live Working man in Cleveland next. But I feel any track you pick will be epic. wait till you listen to their full sided LP cuts. Enjoy the ride brother It's gonna be a long one. Rock on! Maddog @ DrumDragon Music Studio
I love it because I can remember all the words and sing along. ;-)😁
The funny thing is that the audience really does “sing along” on their YYZ instrumental, as you probably know.
Oh yeah..Baby. great Reaction. You get it now..
Geddy Lee said once that they wanted to be the tiniest orchestra and I think they nailed it!
To see the guys having fun on stage check out Bytor and the Snow Dog from the R30 tour
Other Songs
Working man live in Cleveland
Natural Science from the Molson Amphitheatre Toronto
Cheers
In their documentary, they said that they wrote this and recorded it and then set out to be so good that they could even play this live. Mission accomplished.
studio or live RUSH are PITCH perfect every time and JOURNEYS 🤯🤯
This song is absolutely fantastic 😍
RUSH Army is present and prepared for duty.
Eddie Van Halen was asked what it's like to be the greatest guitarist of a generation. Eddie said I don't know ask Alex Lifeson.
That's just an urban legend that's cited for various guitarists tbh I doubt if Eddy ever said that about anyone.
I get a kick outa your reactions bro, love how you absolutely immerse yourself an let the music transport you where “they” want to take you!
As an earlier guy mentioned, check out workin man live in Cleveland if you really wanna lose your shit lol lol
But even more importantly you gotta do studio version of 2112
23 min that you don’t want to end!!
They are 3 MASTER CLASS MUSICIANS, I’ve followed them since 1974, and in my personal opinion they changed the face of rock n roll and truly made prog rock kool
If you ever watched old Loony Toons, some of this song will sound familiar. Lookup a track called “Powerhouse”. It was used in a lot of “assembly line” scenes in those old cartoons.
Rush realized that it was not their original idea and while the rights to the song had expired they still felt it was fitting to cut the original artist a check just another little tidbit that shows why they were the best band in the world. 😊
@@Fred-vy1hm Yup! “Unique” isn’t a strong enough word for Rush. :)
You're reaction 😂 totally brings me back to the first time I heard this....mind blown!! This is one of my all-time favorite songs...Period. No words...just pure musical genius, by three of the greatest musicians ever!! If you haven't already heard Natural Science, you should check it out. It's amazing...see what you think.
Dude! That was a great reaction! My 2 favorite songs by Rush are this one and YYZ. Not that eveything else isn't awesome though. Enjoy the rabbit hole! Welcome to Rush!
Alex and Geddy are both very busy with their feet.
Great reaction ! Fun to watch !! More Rush please
Neil Peart’s drum solo would give you a heart attack check out Live in Frankfurt drum solo
2112 and you need the lyrics 😎
Almost 30 mins song
Rush doesn't have many instrumentals, but most of their songs have long instrumental interludes. They have over 170 songs, at least 20 of which are commonly considered their best. You have a long journey ahead of you, so strap in!
🤗 I swear you are so cute watching Rush & PF! 🥰 Can watch you all day dude react to Rush! 😏 And maybe some Steely Dan! 😁🐰
A real reaction, love it!
The best.
Just watched your channel for the first time. Love your reaction. Rush is a great band and super talented. Seems between this and Xanadu you are getting your first taste of Prog Rock. I’d like to suggest 2 newer prog bands and songs to check out. Band is Porcupine Tree and the song Anesthetize and check out the live version. Next band is Haken song is Cockroach King and check out the official video extended version
🌴🔥🔥reaction, welcome to da Rush Familia 👌🏽🌴
thanks for saying it right!
Best reaction I've heard of my favorite band. Just subscribed. Thank you! You also would enjoy from Rush the song "Xanadu".
This song isn't really a Bass song, but they have plenty of those too. Geddy is an amazing Bass player par excellence!
LLLLLYYYYYYRRRRRRIIIIICCCCCCSSSSSS!!!!!
Loved your reaction! Thanks for doing it. Check out “Working Man” Live in Cleveland when you have a chance. You’ll enjoy it!
when you do some of their later stuff, go for Roll The Bones.
and do check out the studio version of La Villa Strangiato. he plays the intro on a classical guitar. so good.
Oh I'm sorry! Never watched you till this morning. Keep Rush cranking.
Should do the studio version
Ya know I've seen a lot of reactions to this song. They are all good. Most are just your average person loving the music. A very few musiccal geinuises present a very cerebral explanation of the music.That is rare though. This is different. You are a bright dude, but this reaction is a physical/kinestethic expression of the music. I have never seen such a great expressive reaction to their music than this. Very unique. I am more stoic when I listen to this, but feel it all the way. Great job in your ability to naturally express what we all feel in this. Lavilla is my favorite Rush tune. Saw them live once.
Yo ANKS! I just watched your Xanadu reaction and now La Villa Strangiato. Two of my favorite songs from my favorite band (discovered/rediscovered just a year ago*) Rush. I noticed that this channel is an occasional thing, sometimes months go by in between your videos. And believe me, if I started a channel like you, that's about as often as I'd have time for the channel as well!
I'm also a Tool fan, a band that was heavily influenced by Rush. And the bands were friends too! Actually, a trio band friendship between them and the Foo Fighters as well!. The Foo Fighters hosted Rush's 2013 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (must see!) with Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkin's introducing Rush and presenting them the award. They also dressed up as Rush and started playing one of Rush's songs and then Rush joins in.
And then last year when Taylor Hawkin's from the Foo Fighters (drummer, inspired by Neil Peart of Rush) died, Danny Carey (also inspired by Neil) played drums for Rush who played at Taylor's memorial tribute, due to Neil's death two years prior. Rush came out of retirement to do the tribute and asked Danny Carey to play with them as they knew only two drummers could fill Neil's role in the band; Taylor Hawkins and Danny Carey.
Anyway, back to Rush's discography! it's time for you to do another Rush reaction and I have a couple of suggestions. For another pure instrumental that will once again blow your mind, I recommend 'YYZ.'
Or, maybe you are in the mood for another story song like Xanadu? I recommend 'The Necromancer,' A guaranteed mind-bender.
How about some of their shorter "radio friendly" singles? You haven't reacted to any of them yet. I recommend Fly by Night,Tom Sawyer, Lime Light and Red Barchetta.
Maybe you'd rather cut to the chase and do a deep dive into one of Rush's 10-20 minute long rock "symphonies?" Then check out The Fountain of Lamenth, 2112, Cygnus X-1: Books I and II and Natural science.
Looking for a bit of Rush Metal? Check out Far Cry, Caravan, The Anarchist and Headlong Flight.
Maybe you want to see Rush's softer side? Check out Closer to the Heart, Time Stand Still, Halo Effect and The Garden.
Maybe you'd like to hear what a Canadian version of Led Zeppelin, with only three members would sound like? Check out Working Man, Finding My Way, Take Yourself a Friend.
If you are into 60's classic rock like The Yardbirds, Cream, The Who, Buffulo Springfield and others, and want to see just how talented and diverse and respectful of the original artist's work Rush can be, check out Rush's 2004 cover album FEEDBACK.
I'm subscribing now to keep abreast of your latest videos, especially Rush. I love how excited you are about the music when it is good, a man after my own heart.
*I knew of Rush and loved the dozen or so singles played on the radio back in the day, but I never looked into Rush further for what ever reason. Until last year when I rediscovered the singles from back in the day and discovering all the incredible music they made that didn't get played on the radio back then because it's far too long and deep for shallow radio.
A year and a couple thousand dollars later, and I own 16 of their 19 studio albums, multiple live albums and a few concert videos. The albums all audiophile quality remasters from original analog masters, using the direct to metal master (DMM) manufacturing technique, master made at half-speed and on 180-200 gram double-LP. I also bought a copy of them all on CD for listening on the road. I even upgraded my turn-table just to get the best sound out of the best records.
My final piece of advice, take the deep dive into Rush's discography sooner than later, or you will regret, even more, all the years of your life that you weren't listening to Rush. I first heard Rush in the early 80's on the radio, but never got around looking into Rush further, at around 14 years old, and continued to hear Rush my whole life, but only the half-dozen songs still played on classic rock radio. I missed out for 40 years of my life listening to the truly best music of Rush, the music I never heard on the radio, the songs you chose to react to first among songs I never heard on the radio. Discovering a Rush I never knew or imagined at age 54.
Over 180 songs in their discography. They are third, behind only The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in having the most consecutive gold or platinum albums, some triple and even quadruple platinum. A 40+ year career, first album released in 1974, last album in 2012, toured until 2015.
🙋🏿♀️ Raise your hand if we all agree he's ready for 2112! 🤗 2112 or we RIOT! 🤭 Not really, 😏 but you are definitely ready to handle Rush Sagas like 2112, Bitor & The Snow Dog, and the Books (Cygnus Book 1 & Book 2) 😒 You're lucky cause we had to wait until the next Album to see what happened after going thru the Black hole. 🙄 Seriously who does that?!? 🤯 Book 2 Hemispheres was spectacular!!! 🤭 But you're going to have to listen to Cygnus & Hemispheres to find out what happened for yourself! 🤗 We'll be here when ya do! 😁🐰
He actually uses a early model guitar synthesizer on hemispheres and with that volume pedal you can really work some magic(if your Alex or at least that good anyway)🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎹🎸
Great reaction, love how you get so into it! Rush were great at building feel into their songs, sometimes running hot, then creating a different atmosphere by bringing it down with a change of pace. Flawless transitions. That violin sound is accomplished using a volume pedal which Alex Lifeson uses like a volume knob on the guitar, but operated with his foot. He hits the string and eases up the volume for that smoothed out delivery.
Too many suggestions for my fingers to type b4 they would get tired- but if you want some more songs to get blown away with..try " Working Man" live in Cleveland "Natural Science" also live..been a fan for almost 50 years and they still have me in awe of how they do it-
You get a sub and a like from me. Keep the rush and tool coming and I’ll be back
Geddy may not be singing on this but his bass and Alex's guitar sure were. 😊
Rush is fantastic, musically, lyrically, one of the best. You can get lost in their music pretty easily. I hope you have a chance to dig deeper.
Another band to check out, if you haven’t already, is TOOL. I suggest you start with “Right in Two”… get you some lyrics to go along with your reaction though…. a philosophy lesson in every song
Great reaction man, honest reaction. Thank you
While I can appreciate their live performance, listen to the studio version...it's perfect.
The way he makes those sounds with his guitar is by using a volume pedal swelling the notes in and out You can use the volume knob on the guitar and hammering on the notes also Digging the reactions Try Suppers Ready by Genesis its long but its one of the best prog tunes
Masters indeed! Love your enthusiastic reactions bro! I think you should check out the song, "Working Man", from their debut album. It's an absolute banger of a song, and it features the bands' 1st drummer, John Rutsey, who was replace by Neil Peart shortly after the debut album was released. 🏆🏆🏆
Love your reactions! Welcome to the RUSHverse :)
I'm making Rush reactions compilations, and you are most certaily part of the next one with Xanadu (unless you don't want that).
You may like to react to these songs: 'Freewill' and 'YYZ'. Shorty and Rushy.
You'll be waiting a very long time for that "intro" to end and the lyrics to start...go check out the genesis of this track by Alex Lifeson. Also, that part in the middle that sounds like its from a scary cartoon scene, is. The piece they borrow for that is called "Powerhouse", a jazz staple of the 30s and 40s, and was employed in cartoons quite often during scenes either of fast action or intense intrigue. Yes, they are compositional virtuosos, and no three band members have ever worked together better than these guys. Masters of transitions, unexpected timings, anything they can do to keep you drawn in, and it works.
Hey. I hope you are doing well. You are the only dude or girl doing reactions that would really want as a real life friend. You are so real. I can see me and you running the streets going to clubs checking out music. Laughing our fucking asses off. Oh well... I wish you were still reacting, but I certainly understand why you are not. Stay true to yourself brother. Don’t change for no fucking body.
Love your reaction - if you like thumpin bass, check out YYZ - Live in Rio.
Great reaction. Rush is very good and musically taking you on a journey.
New sub because of your spot on pronunciation!!! RIP Prof. Peart.
Made every teenage guitar player try harder and harder.
U=ME=U=ME
I highly recommend you check out where's my thing here it is it's got an amazing drum solo in the middle it will blow your mind!!!
Wow .. No billy lo amazing
try listening to YES if you want PROG ROCK also on this level 🤯,enjoy
Rush makes you want to dance? Ok. 😂
Except you have to keep switching meter! 😆
Tool and Rush,it's about as good as it gets
if you really want your mind blown you need to react to Rush live in Cleveland... i have never seen anything like it and i have seen A LOT
Working Man
Interestingly enough if you were to look at the history of Russia's various looks throughout their timeline, Neil Peart was sporting a mustache not that different from the one you were rocking in this video.
Everyone wants to capitalize on Neil's death but no one cares what he was able to write in his lyrics and what Rush did with music. They just want to get views from the fans.
They just shake their heads but don't understand the lyrics. They just want to make money from the fans. Now Rush has become fashionable.
This is only the tip of the Rush iceberg, but you haven't even seen what's around the other side! Why don't you check out a different sounding Rush by the time 1985 came around with "Marathon" czcams.com/video/x119LztC0t4/video.html
RABBIT HOLE
Should I feel that a cartel reprimand is in order if I respond negatively? Like, you totally have that Lalo vibe...
Pronounced peert not purt
Man you look in pain during solo lol
Bro, that is the worse version of this song. Try the studio version or the Exit stage Left 1981 live version.
I think this is an excellent version.
Rushes worst is another bands opus, but this is generally considered one of their best performances.
