My favorite Rush song. Reminds me so much of my Dad. He died from cancer a few years back and he absolutely loved Rush. I feel so blessed that I got to see Rush with him before he passed. R.I.P Pops Edit: wow, thanks for all the likes and kind words y'all â€ïžđ€

The 80's was the greatest time for rock n roll, metal period so many great concerts, so many great bands, my favorite part of my life, I'm 53 years old and the 80s were amazing đ€đ»đ€đ»đ€đ»â ïžâ ïžđđđ
I'm 52. Started my teenage years in 1980. Kids today don't know what fun is! The music was incredible and summers seemed to last forever. Man I miss those days!
47 here. 80's were undoubtedly the best decade hands down. Best pro sports, best movies (Carl Reiner and similar style movies) and THE BEST ALL AROUND MUSIC EVER! Moving pictures with Red Barchetta, my fav Rush song, brought it in in style.
Jim, you hit it on the head! I am 53, admit I had a mullet back then, lol!!! But the best musicians who could actually sing and play an instrument were from the 70,80 rock bands. Rush,triumph,April wine,38 special, bad company,eagles,heart,dio etc!!! Simple!
Joseph Clark Seems like itâs gonna be based on OUR future. I can totally see a future where single piloted, gasoline burning cars are illegal. You know damn well some old timersâll have a Dodge Hellcat or Porsche GT3 hidden under the barn & just rip the hell outta that thing every once in a while.
Reminds me of a short story we would have read in English Lit class back in high school. The only song that paints a visual picture better is Springsteen's "Jungle Land".
One my favorite Rush songs. When I was young, I joined the Air Force and was stationed in Spain ( TorrejĂłn Air Base), and I would take out one of my albums, often Rush, put it on the turn table, crank up the volume on my Kenwood Super-Eleven receiver, and my big ol' pioneer cabinet type speakers would this for all to hear. This was 1980-1982. Damn. It feels like a lifetime ago.
This is one of Rush's best tracks. I can't think of another song that SOUNDS more like what it's about than this. You can hear the hard shifts, the squealing tires, the soaring engine without the lyrics.
My impression has always been, the first car sound is a pic drag on the guitar and the second is again a pic drag with a gradual pitch shift with either Alex using a pedal or Geddy using the pitch shift wheel on one of his synths.
I am a rash fan of 38 + years... this guy is really getting the experience and really putting it together. There is much more, I love his videos, they make me smile on Rush, I get a huge kick out of you really enjoying this...I've taken so much crap for loving this band in the past its refreshing to see others see what I do and hold value to it. Thanks
I remember the first time I listened to this song,I had just smoked a little hash and had my headphones on and my mind was blown away, this song and the spirit of the radio are my favorite Rush songs Having headphones on and smoking a little hash was the only way to listen to music from"the day" I really miss those days,I'm 54 now and dealing with Leukemia, but I still have my headphones and wished that I could find some"hash" and relive those days
Also check out their DVD âTime Machine, Liveâ, they play the entire Moving Pictures album. I attended the concert and it was so frigginâ awesome! I especially love the intro videos at the beginning and at the second half of the concert.
I'm sure there's something else I should be getting done this weekend, but I can't stop watching these Rush reactions. Your amazement and appreciation for these songs is like reliving hearing them for the first time.
So true! I watch all Rush reactions online. It's great to see so many first-timers immediately see the gulf of talent between Rush and everyone else; especially today's mainstream artists.
Im sitting here with other pages open to things i need to do. Pay bills, order a transmission for my broke ass honda, and Im here enjoying Jamal's adventure into Rush discovery. Lol just realized i havnt made myself dinner yet either. Totally worth it.
"The song describes a future in which many classes of vehicles have been prohibited by "the Motor Law". ... The song was inspired by the futuristic short story "A Nice Morning Drive", by Richard Foster and published in the November 1973 issue of Road and Track magazine Yep...The car sound was done by Geddy. The bass lines in this song are amazing. They are melodic and not just keeping rhythm. Peart on the drums is a percussionist and adds dimensions to the music, not just keeping the beat. Alex as always is a monster on the guitar and everything just fits perfectly. Whenever I hear this song, I just want to go on a long drive in my convertible to anywhere. :)
I heard for the first time just a couple of years ago. Even though I have been a fan for decades. Time, budget, or life always kept my music library limited.
Along with the constraints mentioned by Connor, mainstream FM classic radio is to blame. They wouldn't know a deep track if it bit them on the ass. Those who do are forbidden to play them since deep tracks aren't on the approved list. For that reason it is the responsibility of those of us who know our shit to pass our knowledge on to the youth that truly love the history of the music that we lived.
@@guillermo3564 in the late eighties/early nineties, a station in Tampa started. It was/is 98rock. When it started, they had actual disc jockeys choosing and playing a list. They would also play entire sides and albums. It was one of the last stations to do this kind of programming, and it killed it's competition.
Your appreciation for Rush helps me remember my original falling into love with them 15 years ago (yes, I was late!), thank you for continuing to try new tracks from them!
@@4juno Grace Under Pressure is one of the most under appreciated albums of all time. Between the Wheels and The Body Electric are two of the best songs Rush ever did imo
Couple of primary school buddies created one of the best progressive rock bands to this date, with the addition of possibly the best lyricist and drummer on the planet.
I canât recall and dare say that never before or since has there been a drummer (Neil) and bass player (Geddy) that plays to each other and compliments the other in all they play. While the lyrics and guitarist (Alex) just completes the master piece !!! Together, theyâre master musicians, masters of ever changing time signatures in their musical creations, showmen, storytellers, entertainers of the highest skill and calibre, and above all during good times and in bad ... life long brothers and best of friends !!! How I lament Mr. Neil Peartâs passing. I still mourn his departure, but rejoice at his arrival !!! May you rest in eternal peace !!! RUSH !!! Celebrate with me every year on the 21st day of December (2112), a Rush Day !!! ( in case you didnât ). Be loud and proud !!! Peace âźïž !!!
This is literally one of the best rock albums of all time imo. Rush was the soundtrack of my life during highschool and im 24! If you havent already check out some of their longer EPIC songs (20 min each at least) like 2112 and The Fountain of Lamneth and Cygnus X Book one and two! you will FOR SURE love them!
I have been a fan of Rush since 1975, when I was only 8 years old ... Never, I repeat, never seen reaction to the band's songs so spontaneously and vicerally ... Congratulations brother!
Grew up on RUSH. They were like food and water to me. So cool to watch new generations like you being introduced to one of the greatest bands ever. Keep on rockin'.
THIS! THIS IS IT! The track that first pulled me down the Rush rabbit hole. (And this whole Moving Pictures LP...perfection. So grateful I saw this tour.)
@@DTWC yeah the only Rush that really sounds a little dated is their mid 80s albums when they used a lot of synthesizers and keyboards which were a big thing at that time with many bands
Such a powerful messege from "At the one-lane bridge I leave the giants stranded at the riverside Race back to the farm To dream with my uncle at the fireside" Thaaaank you Neil!
Wow, man! I wish there was an excellent button for your reaction. Your pure emotional reaction brings me joy and excitement to my soul to have you experience what I experience almost 40 years ago when I was 15(mind blown). Great work my friend. FYI, âRushâ and âJudas Priestâ are my best live performances in almost 40 years of concert going. I saw Rush 3 times, the last time being their next to last tour. Rush was my 2nd concert ever in 1981. Thanks for reading my comment. GBY.
Still one of my favorite Rush songs, especially when I go blasting through the countryside in my little convertible. Thanks for getting my day started off right Jamel!
Another Rush fan has been born! It's just too bad that they've retired as a band, I'm sure that you would have loved to see them live. Take it from me, it was definitely a great experience! At least there's plenty of live performance videos of them for you to enjoy. You're obviously a true music appreciator, and Rush has given us 40 years of awesome material to appreciate, that's for sure! This is one of my favorite Rush songs, it's a great storytelling song, and the music and lyrics take you on a journey through a futuristic time where gasoline powered vehicles have been outlawed by the government. It's rebellious, glorious, and completely paints a picture in your mind. That's a hallmark of great writing, and something that seems to be lost in today's music. So glad you are enjoying this legendary band! It's been a blast taking the journey along with you! And yes... that's instruments creating the sound of the car engine accelerating, Geddy's synthesizer to be exact! As always, Peace and love from Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A!
I see Rush, I watch. Also, please react to the live version of YYZ with the drum solo from a show of hands tour, I know you've seen YYZ live but this drum solo is such a defining moment in my eyes for neil peart to help solidify him as the best of all time.
JaDem Iâve always hated that Alex never really gets the credit he deserves as a guitarist. Donât get me wrong I love Geddy and Neil but theyâre always put on a pedestal when compared to Alex when I totally believe Alex is on the same level as both in terms of technical ability. Alex is the Guitarist that got me to pick up a guitar and start learning to play.
I saw Rush in Concert in 1980 or 81 when this album came out.....I can't believe how people are finally figuring our how great they are(were)!!!!!!! thank you for bringing them to light
Dude youâre awesome. You made my entire night. Tuned into lots of your videos after I woke up with horrible nightmares. Turned it all around. Thank you for what you do.
Great name. I feel the same about my Miata. When all the battery trash inevitably fails my ICE will not be bothered. But "Black Barchetta" would have to be mine if it was called that haha
Check out RUSH'S YYZ. Oh my goodness, I can't even explain it it's amazing. I believe YYZ is on the same album if I'm not mistaken. Please please please please listen to YYZ

The song is about a young man who lives in a time when combustion engine automobiles have been outlawed. His Uncle has a house outside the city where he hides a Red Barchetta which is a nickname for Enzo Ferrari's Little Red Boat, the 1948 Ferrari 166MM. A small two seat race car with a tiny 1.5 liter V12 engine. In his time it is a crime to own and operate a car like this. The young man being born out of his time.
Montrose's song, "Bad Motor Scooter," the đž sounds like a bike taking off! The lead singer actually was the singer for Van Halen, after they regrouped, taking Eddie Lee Roths place.
Also Hagar, Schonn, Aaronson, and Shreve; Chickenfoot (awesome supergroup) and the Circle as well as a solo career that spans the decades. Sammy is the man!
It was a fine morning in March 1982. The warm weather and clear sky gave promise of an early spring. Buzz had arisen early that morning, impatiently eaten breakfast and gone to the garage. Opening the door, he saw the sunshine bounce off the gleaming hood of his 15-year-old MGB roadster. After carefully checking the fluid levels, tire pressures and ignition wires, Buzz slid behind the wheel and cranked the engine, which immediately fired to life. He thought happily of the next few hours he would spend with the car, but his happiness was clouded - it was not as easy as it used to be.
This is undoubtedly my favorite Rush song. I'm a huge gear head, and this song lyrically and musically perfectly sums up my love and passion for cars and for driving. Makes me want to go out and buy an old Alfa Romero Spider and tear up some back roads.
I love that you reacted to this song! This is one of their best songs and underrated a bit I think. By the way, you should react to By Tor and the Snow Dog. They use instruments in a way that will absolutely love.
New subscriber. I think you would be doing yourself a service by looking into Ronnie James Dio. He will probably be on any shortlist for greatest 70âs-80âs metal lead-singer. Iâm pretty stunned you havenât checked his stuff out yet. Part of his legend was his short stature. He was 5â4 but he had an IMMENSELY powerful voice. He headlined several iconic metal bands so the list I have for you will have different band names. I do believe you aught to listen and react to his work. Here are my suggestions: âThe Last In Lineâ - Dio âStargazerâ - Rainbow âHoly Diverâ - Dio âStand Up And Shoutâ - Dio âGates Of Babylonâ - Rainbow His music videos can be pretty distracting. I would advise just watching the videos that are only an image of the album cover. Live Performance: âDio - Rainbow In The Dark (Live The Spectrum 1984)â
I saw them in concert in December 1982 in Philly at the Signals Tour. Awesome, insane, and perfectly performed. I wish you could have been there with me.
This whole album is đ„đ„đ„! The first Rush song I ever heard was Tom Sawyer and I ran out and bought the album - ON VINYL!! - and had to replace it a year later due to overplaying it! Totally great - not a bad track on the album! Signals is another good one. Came out as the next album after Moving Pictures - check it out!!
This song taught me to appreciate poetry. It's a science fiction poem about a man who saves a car after they've been outlawed, and he allows his nephew to drive it around every weekend ("I commit my weekly crime!"). The lyrics once he starts driving: "Wind in my hair, shifting and drifting, mechanical music, adrenaline surge! Well-weathered leather, hot metal and oil, the sun, the country air. Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape, every nerve aware!" Sight, smell, hearing, and feeling. It put me right in the driver's seat!
My favorite Rush song. Reminds me so much of my Dad.

Actually the car is from the past. And in the future said car is illegal. And the chase begins.

Yep! Itâs based off of a book or short story
Joseph, itâs based on âA Nice Morning Driveâ by Richard Foster. Later on, the band actually met him. Pretty cool.

When I listen to this song I always picture a 1969 Boss Mustang.
The beauty of this song is that it's a story, rich with illustration and emotion.
Well said, I've always thought that abstractly but you put it into words.
Reminds me of a short story we would have read in English Lit class back in high school. The only song that paints a visual picture better is Springsteen's "Jungle Land".

I love the way this song evokes a movie in my minds eye.
Any good written song should do that for you
RUSH songs do that more than any other band I've ever listened to. Not to say that others don't do it. But RUSH is just the BEST.
Same đđ!
The album is well named as "Moving Pictures"
this was the first song by Rush that really grabbed my attention. it's been 35 years since then, and this song still gives me shivers. Thanks, Jamel!

I have been a fan of Rush since 1975, when I was only 8 years old ... Never, I repeat, never seen reaction to the band's songs so spontaneously and vicerally ... Congratulations brother!
Yes! And in concert the video behind them on stage shows the view from driving the car with lights chasing. AWESOME!!!!!!
Was at this tour 4 times in 1981. It was just as incredible live.
Hans Gruber âMoving Picturesâ for a reason... most songs on this album were written to be very cinematic.
Yes...that was Alex doing it with his guitar!! A true master
Grew up on RUSH. They were like food and water to me. So cool to watch new generations like you being introduced to one of the greatest bands ever. Keep on rockin'.
this is such a wonderful song, and classic Rush. I'm glad you love this one. đ
That was Alex Liefson guitar my man.
Vern Shumway best ever!!
THIS! THIS IS IT! The track that first pulled me down the Rush rabbit hole. (And this whole Moving Pictures LP...perfection. So grateful I saw this tour.)
I think musically, this was an absolute master piece by Rush. Crisp, clear, beautiful fluctuating of sound and pace of sound. Truly amazing.
And don't get me started on the awesome lyrics....
The 80's feel. Yeah, like exactly 1980.
Yep, released in '81
Actually, 1981
This dont sound dated like most 80s music though
@@DTWC yeah the only Rush that really sounds a little dated is their mid 80s albums when they used a lot of synthesizers and keyboards which were a big thing at that time with many bands
@@youtoo2233 Oh you mean when RUSH wanted to sound like the Police for a few albums? LOL
I can't tell you how many times I raced my car through the hills, this song blasting me along ;)
Such a powerful messege from "At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside"
Thaaaank you Neil!
I saw Rush 3 times between 1988 and 1995. And they are truly amazing live.
This is what I listened to from high school through college.
"A nice morning drive" was the short story Neil based the lyrics on. This song and album are a masterpiece of prog-rock.
That was the car tearing off. Guitar.. That was won awesome 3person Canadian Band. âïžđžđ„
Wow, man! I wish there was an excellent button for your reaction. Your pure emotional reaction brings me joy and excitement to my soul to have you experience what I experience almost 40 years ago when I was 15(mind blown). Great work my friend. FYI, âRushâ and âJudas Priestâ are my best live performances in almost 40 years of concert going. I saw Rush 3 times, the last time being their next to last tour. Rush was my 2nd concert ever in 1981. Thanks for reading my comment. GBY.
Great! One of the best songs from Power Trio. Amazing solo from Alex Lifeson!
This is a great song while driving! đ
My Favorite Rush song! Thanks for fulfilling a request. I'm sure many others requested this as well
When it hits the "run like the wind" line, my heart can't soar any higher!
Can you do Rush song A Farewell To Kings. Great song and I haven't seen anyone do it.
Or Madrigal
And the lyrics are some the most profound in what is already a catalog fecund with profundity.
Agreed! He should definitely do "A Farewell to Kings"!
Yes please!
In my top 5
Still one of my favorite Rush songs, especially when I go blasting through the countryside in my little convertible. Thanks for getting my day started off right Jamel!
I must try listening to this while driving my red 1995 mx5 đ€đ
Just love the sound of Geddy Lee's Rickenbacker bass.
Yes!!! Mine's a '96! And I too, love the sound of a Rick!
Another Rush fan has been born!
It's just too bad that they've retired as a band, I'm sure that you would have loved to see them live. Take it from me, it was definitely a great experience! At least there's plenty of live performance videos of them for you to enjoy. You're obviously a true music appreciator, and Rush has given us 40 years of awesome material to appreciate, that's for sure! This is one of my favorite Rush songs, it's a great storytelling song, and the music and lyrics take you on a journey through a futuristic time where gasoline powered vehicles have been outlawed by the government.
It's rebellious, glorious, and completely paints a picture in your mind. That's a hallmark of great writing, and something that seems to be lost in today's music.
So glad you are enjoying this legendary band! It's been a blast taking the journey along with you!
And yes... that's instruments creating the sound of the car engine accelerating, Geddy's synthesizer to be exact!
As always, Peace and love from Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A!
This song to me is the best marriage of music and lyrics. The imagery of the speeding car and the music driving it. Beautiful.
I see Rush, I watch.
Also, please react to the live version of YYZ with the drum solo from a show of hands tour, I know you've seen YYZ live but this drum solo is such a defining moment in my eyes for neil peart to help solidify him as the best of all time.
Car sounds from Alex Lifeson's guitar
He was a wee bit overshadowed by Neil and Geddy after forming rhe band. Eh?
JaDem Iâve always hated that Alex never really gets the credit he deserves as a guitarist. Donât get me wrong I love Geddy and Neil but theyâre always put on a pedestal when compared to Alex when I totally believe Alex is on the same level as both in terms of technical ability. Alex is the Guitarist that got me to pick up a guitar and start learning to play.
@@lPanicSinisterl I see Lifeson as being much like gilmour in much of his style, which is why he is a favorite :) Peace!
@@lPanicSinisterl alex is under rated big time
I saw Rush in Concert in 1980 or 81 when this album came out.....I can't believe how people are finally figuring our how great they are(were)!!!!!!! thank you for bringing them to light
Dude youâre awesome. You made my entire night. Tuned into lots of your videos after I woke up with horrible nightmares. Turned it all around. Thank you for what you do.
"Red Barchetta" is what I call my Jeep, I'll be driving it when the world is nothing but burning Tesla's in the ditches...
DĂŒde, Iâm at 358K in a 1997 Jeep Cherokee. The straight 6 engine is a mofo.
@@moabmoron8607 NICE. I'd love to slap a turbo on my V-6, that would make it perfect. But adding Banks intake and exhaust really helped.
Great name. I feel the same about my Miata. When all the battery trash inevitably fails my ICE will not be bothered. But "Black Barchetta" would have to be mine if it was called that haha
Check out RUSH'S YYZ. Oh my goodness, I can't even explain it it's amazing. I believe YYZ is on the same album if I'm not mistaken. Please please please please listen to YYZ
Dionne Hoffman he already did.
Normally right-handed. Now she's trying left-handed. Little sister on bass is 9. âAudrey & Kateđœ "YYZ" {Left-handed} czcams.com/video/-WuJ3WlW3Vg/video.html
4 of Rush's 10 best songs are off of this album IMHO.
The best instrumental song ever imo.
Listen to the exit stage left live version
I got to see these guys live three times in the 80s here in Philadelphia at the old spectrum. Some of the high points of my Music life of the 80s.
The song is about a young man who lives in a time when combustion engine automobiles have been outlawed. His Uncle has a house outside the city where he hides a Red Barchetta which is a nickname for Enzo Ferrari's Little Red Boat, the 1948 Ferrari 166MM. A small two seat race car with a tiny 1.5 liter V12 engine. In his time it is a crime to own and operate a car like this. The young man being born out of his time.
Montrose's song, "Bad Motor Scooter," the đž sounds like a bike taking off! The lead singer actually was the singer for Van Halen, after they regrouped, taking Eddie Lee Roths place.
David Lee Roth
Sammy Hagar was part of Montrose and later Van Halen.
Also Hagar, Schonn, Aaronson, and Shreve; Chickenfoot (awesome supergroup) and the Circle as well as a solo career that spans the decades. Sammy is the man!
Wait til you see the live version from Exit Stage Left...epic!!
It was a fine morning in March 1982. The warm weather and clear sky gave promise of an early spring. Buzz had arisen early that morning, impatiently eaten breakfast and gone to the garage. Opening the door, he saw the sunshine bounce off the gleaming hood of his 15-year-old MGB roadster. After carefully checking the fluid levels, tire pressures and ignition wires, Buzz slid behind the wheel and cranked the engine, which immediately fired to life. He thought happily of the next few hours he would spend with the car, but his happiness was clouded - it was not as easy as it used to be.
This is undoubtedly my favorite Rush song. I'm a huge gear head, and this song lyrically and musically perfectly sums up my love and passion for cars and for driving. Makes me want to go out and buy an old Alfa Romero Spider and tear up some back roads.
I love that you reacted to this song! This is one of their best songs and underrated a bit I think. By the way, you should react to By Tor and the Snow Dog. They use instruments in a way that will absolutely love.
It should be the live version though
@@lifesabeach2597 Live version is too short, IMO.
New subscriber. I think you would be doing yourself a service by looking into Ronnie James Dio. He will probably be on any shortlist for greatest 70âs-80âs metal lead-singer. Iâm pretty stunned you havenât checked his stuff out yet. Part of his legend was his short stature. He was 5â4 but he had an IMMENSELY powerful voice. He headlined several iconic metal bands so the list I have for you will have different band names. I do believe you aught to listen and react to his work. Here are my suggestions:
âThe Last In Lineâ - Dio
âStargazerâ - Rainbow
âHoly Diverâ - Dio
âStand Up And Shoutâ - Dio
âGates Of Babylonâ - Rainbow
His music videos can be pretty distracting. I would advise just watching the videos that are only an image of the album cover.
Live Performance:
âDio - Rainbow In The Dark (Live The Spectrum 1984)â
seconding this recommendation
I highly suggest live versions of most of his songs with Stargazer the only exception. Ronnie James Dio sounds best live.
I love this song. When I was 15 I sat down behind my drum set every day after school and every weekend and ponded this out until I had it.
I saw them in concert in December 1982 in Philly at the Signals Tour. Awesome, insane, and perfectly performed. I wish you could have been there with me.
This whole album is đ„đ„đ„! The first Rush song I ever heard was Tom Sawyer and I ran out and bought the album - ON VINYL!! - and had to replace it a year later due to overplaying it! Totally great - not a bad track on the album! Signals is another good one. Came out as the next album after Moving Pictures - check it out!!
In my opinion there's no 80's feel at all. It's timeless.
How did three musical savants find each other and click together like clockwork. This is beyond tight, they are like one mind
This song taught me to appreciate poetry. It's a science fiction poem about a man who saves a car after they've been outlawed, and he allows his nephew to drive it around every weekend ("I commit my weekly crime!").
The lyrics once he starts driving: "Wind in my hair, shifting and drifting, mechanical music, adrenaline surge! Well-weathered leather, hot metal and oil, the sun, the country air. Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape, every nerve aware!" Sight, smell, hearing, and feeling. It put me right in the driver's seat!
