Can we get some love for Sean Malone too?
I love him
Died today
R.I.P. Sean Malone
R.I.P. He will be missed.
We weren't very good back then, but it was an honor to play drums in a band with Sean for 6 months.
The videos are on my channel in the playlists.

It is so obvious the love that Portnoy has for Neil Pert...!
You obviously don't. It's Peart. He's not a shampoo.
@@thisismagacountry1318 lol dont be a dick
@@thisismagacountry1318 now i want a Peart shampoo
@Shallex absolutely anything and everything. It's hard to believe the most protected person on earth, also the dumbest person imaginable, is in the white house. It's shameful that America has resorted to a Twitter-tatorship of ignorance.
@Shallex you act shocked that I am not in fact a fan of the current president of the US.
RIP Sean Malone.
Thank you for your music. :(
One of the best covers of YYZ I've heard. Still, no one can do Rush better than Rush.
❤
Agree, they do a great job, fantastic... my only comment is the tempo was just a bit too fast. Rush is a bit more mellow.
@@macintosh3990 They had their nights even for the classic songs where tempo was a bit slow or fast. I feel blessed to have seen them so many times from Moving Pictures and on... Still feel such a loss over Neil's passing
@@macintosh3990 I dunno, Exit Stage Left had a down tempo YYZ, but theres definitely other up tempo versions of YYZ.
So not even Rush was 100% on the tempo, nothing wrong with that at all though.
@Wida A Huh? They both released in 1981, Exit Stage Left was several months after Moving Pictures released, I think.
Go listen through the album again, really good stuff. That recording of YYZ is down tempo and has like a 2 or 3 minute long drum solo.
ESL also has a really great version of Red Barchetta.
Sean Malone makes it look so effortless. Incredible bass guitarist
A distant echo of Ged.
His tone is always so godtier as well
May he rest in peace
RIP Sean, we will miss you and we thank you for all the gifts you gave us with your instrument
Rest in peace, Sean
I like how everyone is complaining about the drum solo and saying this isn't a cover. They are covering a live version, in which Neil Peart has an extremely long drum solo.
Neil's live drum solo didn't suck tho :^)
Right, because you know, they're playing it LIVE.
Yeah there’s a lot of the exit stage left solo in there.
Don't listen to them they dont know what they're tadlkomg about.
@@ElShogoso :^)
Great cover. Portnoy put his touches on Peart solo but never abandoned its core.
Beautifully said ❤
Very well done
Exactly
So many “comparing” Mike and Neil. Why? Mike is Mike and Neil is Neil. Both masters and beautiful artists. Mike live Neil and was inspired by him and that’s a beautiful thing.
Geddy: :D
Alex: :D
Neil: :D
Yes dude 🤣
@@edelman4664 did you get recommended it so late too?
Sean Malone is truly underrated!
Yeah !! Who is he and who has he played for ? Never heard of him.
Remind me never to have an argument with you.
Cynic, Gordian Knot
@@Stryk8r Also first Aghora's album and work with John Wesley (from Porcupine Tree)
Yes, the Gordian Knot stuff is amazing!
Sean Malone! Great to see him here. What a monster.
It's crazy that sean is on a fretless; you cant even tell.
I love the fact that Mike basically did the drum solo from Exit Stage Left with a little of himself thrown in. I like this.
I love how Paul Gilbert worked in "The Spirit of Radio" and "Xanadu" into the ending. (BTW for anyone who was wondering, those are the songs.)
diebydeath gee thanks
Wonderful tribute from Mr Portnoy to 'The Professor' RIP sir
Mike got a lot of haters and people who under-rate his skills. It's a shame, but at leat some value him as a hell of the drummer he really is.
Yeah, he is amazing.
His drumming w Sons of apollo is amazing
some may argue that he's overrated. All I can get from the mighty internet is actually admiration of how good he is. The fact is many underrate how good Mangini is at DT filling MP position.
@@iganpparamarta8813 people criticise Portnoy quite alot actually... He rushes his time, no new ideas for years, horrible personality. Fact is everyone is a brave expert when sat behind a keyboard. Same with Mangini...horrible drum sound, no feel, no creativity in his DT drum parts. These come up all the time. I'm not agreeing with any of it Btw... Just saying that Internet opinions are rife on both drummers. I guess it's just which ones you're sensitive to?
Tony Wicks - C2D4 Comics you’re the coolest person I’ve ever met in comment section m8. Cheers
Who UNDERRATES MIKE FUCKIN PORTNOY???
When you get some heavy hitters like this playing Rush covers,it speaks to the width and breath of their influence....
I was going to say something about the guitarist but, your comment is better.
Some of the best musicians of our time covering the best musicians of past time.
Covering musicians of all tiimes
YYZ on a fretless bass! I'm dreaming :P
I see frets at 1:20, maybe they arent raised?
@@carlschock6747 No its fretless. That's Malone's thing
@@carlschock6747 these are only graphical indications of where the frets would normally be.
@@carlschock6747 its a Gary Willis Signature bass... its fretless
Love Mike going full fanboy and having a Neil Peart mustache for the gig. Sick performance by all involved!
...the whole set up complete w chimes and temple blocks....!!!
@@frankalfar I was thinking that this setup looks almost exactly like Neil’s kit from ESL
Sean Malone was such a spectacular bass player. My favorite in metal probably
Cynic, Racer X, and Dream Theater members all in one band. My head just exploded.
Gilbert really dialed in that Lifeson tone.
Huge kudos for doing this knowing there'd be haters. Somewhere Neil Peart is chuckling.
Amen
RIP Neil Peart!
R.I.P Sean, master of fretless
An almost perfect recreation of YYZ from Exit Stage Left! Right down to the drum solo. Brilliant! Way to go guys. RIP NEIL!
Rest in Peace Sean Malone. Hope you and Reinert are making awesome music now in heaven.
I can still remember MIke playing this when we were kids growing up in LBNY. He's was so impressive even as a kid!!!!
For people saying that protnoy is lacking ability, listen to the dance of eternity. He's one of the best technical drummers ever to live.
These people don't know what they are talking about
Who the hell would say hes lacking ability??? I mean he is no Neil Peart but he us a great drummer!! I love Portnoy!
He is a great drummer but no where even to be close to " the best technical drummer" in fact je lags behind in that department.
Ben 2000 did anybody say that or did you just make that up
Portnoy always makes every song he plays Looks so simple and easy eventhough its hard.. Love him.. Sensei..
Sean is a master.
he do not need the ridiculous movements to express his greatness and music!!! Greetings friend
Amazing musicianship. No stylistic showboating. Wow. RIP Neil.
Gilbert’s pinch harmonics are fabulous. He is a guitar for all seasons virtuoso imho. Right up there with Jeff Beck and Eric Johnson in carving beautifully bizarre and often mysterious fills and solos.
There will never be another Neil Peart, but damn Mike Portnoy is as close as anyone will ever get! RIP Professor!
This comment is keeping it real. 💁♂️🤘
Maybe Portnoy can be the associate professor...
Adjunct faculty
RIP Sean Malone
God I love Malone's tone. All bridge pickup man!
It's impossible to select the neck pickup on a bass which doesn't have one. That's a Gary Willis signature bass.
So nice to be able to have Neil's 80's drumset exact replica and without spending one penny!
Yes.... Cool.... RIP Sean.... I saw Cynic support Opeth and I have seen Paul with Mr Big and Mike countless times with DT.... AND Rush on every tour from HYF onwards here in the UK
Love Paul's solo rendition. And Malone, of course, is always spot on.
So much love for Sean here. Glad to see him being recognized! Love and respect to his family!
I had to watch this again just to affirm to myself how great a drummer Neil was, Mike does a very good job here though. RIP Neil Peart.
Then go watch a Neil Pert video
RIP Sean Malone...Terrible year almost over.
HUUUGE respect for Neil Peart and RUSH by Mike, Paul, and Sean!!!🖒
Neil Ellwood Peart...September 12, 1952 -- January 7, 2020
Rest in Peace, Professor🙏🕇
Wow, these guys nailed it! So much talent on display here. Even Alex's tone comes through when Paul plays.
It was ok ....but by no means did they nail it... some of the guitar work is rather sloppy
what? maybe in the effects loop but this guys guitar is way too fuzzy sounding for this song
Mike Portnoy is one of the greatest musicians and drummers.
Sean Malone an d Paul Gilbert are also phenomenal.
+Gigawatt Kush How about I have my view and you have yours.
I don't think one is better than the other. They are both phenomenal drummers. To each his own. Love Peart and Portnoy. :)
The Best !!!! And the Only man that could and would play with Geddy & Alex if they wanted to bring back a Rush tour, They are all friends and Mike was very close with Neal, and Neal let Mike's son play his drum kit before a show once !!!! Can you imagine the thrill for both !!! : ) God speed Neal
RIP Sean Malone...
Deepest...Lyrics...EVER
@d3u1d4e Actually...Lyrics by Pratt.
I can SING this perfectly.
Actually lyrics by John Myung
I heard Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics to it so he could CASH IN! 😉
Sean Malone is la cumbia
All the so called "pros" here criticizing Portnoy's drumming while I'm here enjoying each and every second of it. :D
Same here! People just can't help but complain about something. Neil was great, Mike is great and this entire cover is outstanding.
Beautiful tribute. No, it's not Rush, but these three very talented and refined musicians are putting everything they've got into it.
You make it sound like they don’t play it as good as rush. Rush can’t play it this clean. These guys are literal computers, lol.
@@chazbono5991 They dont play it as good as Rush (pre 2003). Portnoy is way too heavy handed (which makes sense considering he's a metal musician). And the three of them just arent quite as in sync (again, makes sense considering they havent been playing together for 30+ years.)
Hell yeah!!!!
you guys are all annoying and this song is beyond trash
Sometimes their everything just isn't enough
R.I.P. Sean Malone. You made John's set memorable! But, I will never see you play that "Chapman Stick again" and that made you one of " My Bass Gods "
Great tribute to Mr. Peart...love how Mike’s very faithful to much of the original drum track, which is already awesome...
Underrated Extreme Bass Player = Sean Malone
Without Peart there would be no Dream Theatre or a milllllllion other Prog rock bands. Before Rush it was just jazz students showing off chops. After it actually exceeded the pop sensibilities LYRICALLY.
Thank you, Neal, Alex and Geddy.
RIP Sean Malone. One of the greatest!
Sean is a beast ! CYNIC will live for ever!!
Why the fuck don't they film Sean???
He's an amazing bass player, WAY too underrated.
R.I.P. Sean Malone 😢
Mike Portnoy and Paul Gilbert... probably the only too people who i praise and respect enough to do a rush cover. THIS IS AWESOME. THEY ARE UBER GODS! :D
He is the closest we have now to Neil ! RIP ! Fly by night! Neil!
Portnoy does a good Peart, but Joel Stevenett is better.
czcams.com/video/KZooeK9nVuM/video.html
No, that would be Bobby Jarzombek
He definitely is. There are definitely better drummers, sure, but as the "public face" of drumming? Mike is the closest we have to Neil. He's someone the general (read: non-drummer) population can grab onto. He's incredibly skilled and because of his time in Dream Theater, he's much more well known than most other drummers, and he's also big on publicity (unlike Neil) so he has a leg up on taking the crown.
@@rollergoalie16 No, he's a good mimic like Billy and Tim are of Alex and Geddy. But none of them are fully formed musicians on the same level. Billy is fully formed, but there's a reason he's gone largely unnoticed until they started doing RUSH covers.
Danny Carey and Herb Alexander carry Neil's torch for me.
Love Sean Malone!
Love the little bits of RUSH songs Paul plays at the end.
Spirit of the radio, Xanadu, and I believe he ended with Mr Big's Green Tinted Sixties Mind
Holy shit, I just Googled Sean Malone because I wanted to see his discography, and it came up "Sean Malone dead" and I was like what the fuck? Turns out that there is an actor with the exact same name and spelling who died last year. Whew! I was like "fucking hell, have I been asleep that long?" lol
Bad news, this Sean Malone too died a few days ago
@@shubhamdogra_ yeah was gonna say, bad premonition dude, lost both Sean's from Cyinc....
R.I.P. to Sean Malone and Sean Reinert rhythm section of Cynic (2020) ...
Damn :( rip sean malone
This comment is trippy af now
Mike Portnoy AND Paul Gilbert?! What a fucking combo! Incredible cover of one of the greatest instrumentals ever. Bravo.
For those who don’t know, Sean Malone is a fretless bassist so he just played all that with no frets. He hit it pretty damn close each time.
It's quite incredible how much Rush has impacted so many people and so bands over the years. They really did set so many standards.
That was Awesome !!!!
I heard those cowbells and I just had to smile. Great cover by three great musicians.
Just found out about this on IG, excellent rendition of one of my all time favorites, loved the homage to Neil during the Drum solo too.
The liberties taken were refreshing and the surprise tribute riffs at the end were cool. Good job! 👍
Ya. Thinking the same, it was a nice way to end and they frickin nail it. That's actually rather hard to do as a group of musicians. It's beyond a jam and mentally switching time signatures is a killer that only the most talented can pull off without a conductor. Seriously talented group of guys here. Any originals??
this is massive... totally killer. Sure love that fretless sound of Malone's. Sweet
Malone's style is something amazing in this video. I wonder how he gets that tone with his fretless. Gnarly yet smooth.
Great cover that shows how much of an AWESOME band Rush is!
Of course, YYZ's version on Exit Stage Left remains unparalleled :-)
RIP Sean Malone.
Its such a treat to hear a Rush cover. It just shows how advanced their songwriting and musicianships was/is. I love the pace
God dammit Neil Peart was a genius.
Gonna sound totally thick here as us brits say but is Sean from Cynic??
Yes
There is and will only be one Neil Peart, but this guy can surely bang em!
It's not everyday you get to see MP with PG. The occasion couldn't be celebrated with a better song!!!! Holy shit, awesome rendition of a timeless song. How did I miss this??!!
awesome!
My favorite drummer covering my 2nd favorite drummer
That is wayy too much musical talent on 1 stage! LOL. I've never heard of Malone, but I certainly LOVE the way Porty, & Gilbert sound together!!!
He's the former bassist for Cynic, a progressive death metal band; he's also the mind behind Gordian Knot a jazz fusion/prog rock outfit. Incredible musician, and always plays on a fretless.
He also had an album called Cortlandt that was basically the precursor for what was to become Gordian Knot, but was released under Sean Malone's name. Definitely worth checking out ANY material he's been involved with.
Lupus Logos good to know actually, I knew Gordian Knot but never heard of that Cortlandt thing you say, gonna have to look it up, cheers.
Damn Paul Gilbert got even the tiniest inflections of the guitar playing right in this song. Amazing.
A great cover/tribute to one of the greatest rock bands in the world . . . . RIP Neal.
Great job. Amazing drummer, amazing band.
that transition back into the song from the drum solo was amazing haha
It’s the same on exit stage left
The bass lines of Geddy Lee couldn't be cracked!!!
I tried once... Youngster's fault
They're not that hard
He needed a 4 string Rickenbacker…
What are you talking about? Sean plays it damn near perfectly AND on a fretless!
Paul's got the sound down here. Everybody is crushing it.
Yes My Friend!!! Sean Malone is a master
greetings to you !!!!!
Wow.. great tone from gilbert
Love MP's tribute to Neil Pert's cowbell solo that Neil performs in his classic drumsolo that I think almost everyone has heard, at least everyone who listens to Rush and progressive bands in excess, or are super-interested in drums, or are serious music-buffs.
Awesome tribute, from some seriously talented musicians, Paul Gilbert and Mike Portnoy are some seriously talented guys, that deserve better credits then people give them.
Loved it! Right on Mike Portnoy! You rock dude. Loved it boys.
What a treat to be able to see these guys play this! Never heard of Sean Malone before but I’m going to go investigate right meow!
PAULO GILBERTO
guitaristdho, Mariachi band ensues! 🤣
I like how Paul snuck in some Green Tinted 60s Mind at the end! Heh!
And his Lifeson-esque tone is outstanding too
Haha good ear!!!
:) Love that song!
was just about to point that out. heard that riff for about 2 seconds and my ears perked up!
That was actually the beginning of The Spirit of Radio and the second song was Xanadu, both Rush songs. 👍
This is about as tight of a cover that I've ever seen & heard! Perfection. Given the musicians involved though, I'd expect nothing less from them. Well done, gentleman!
Really, really awesome, they are very talented musician obviusly but when i close my eyes and listen to the song its just no rush but if anyone can pull an awesome tribute is this guys
