That was amazing! Someday I would love it if YYNOT gave us an end to end cover of 2112! Not a demand, you do what you like, just would be cool. Billy and Patty both taking parts or even a duet in certain parts like the priests would be awesome.
One of the more forgotten tracks off that Album and arguably the most important as it is revealing the source of which freedom which is the hope of the unnamed Protagonist as he presents his revelation to the Priests who summarily reject him.
Funny, how infrequently this gets any attention. As it is a HUGE part of the journey of the protagonist of 2112. GREAT job, Billy. I saw another comment wishing for a full YYNOT rendition of 2112 start to finish. If anyone was looking for another vote- "I SECOND!"
I can still remember discovering the rest of the side of 2112 after hearing what they played on the radio. Didn't take me long to go buy the album. Then I flipped it over. I was about 13 or 14. Rush fan forevermore! Thanks Billy, hope to see you play someday!
Back in the day when this song came out i would have my headphones on and imagine early man walking and finding a wooden cat string guitar and jus start messing with the tuning keys and as time progresses so does his playing.
Wow! That was brilliant Billy! Hope you make it up to Canada soon. Who knows... maybe Alex and Geddy will make a surprise appearance on stage with your band.
Well played Sir..! I noticed the shirt you were wearing. It brought back something that I had wished would happen for years, but to my knowledge it never did. I always wanted to see, and hear, what it would have been like if Rik Emmett had sat in with RUSH for a tune or two. I always wanted to find out just how awesome that might have been... Thanks for making the video brother... 😎
@@billyalexanderguitar My bad, but then, motorcycles remind me of Neil. Maybe I'll ride mine today and think about him and his journeys... Have a great day Sir...
Great version
Kept the spirit of the original
Excellent rendition….my brain did the drum fills, especially at the end in that white space!!!
One of my favorite tracks, never heard it covered before.❤
Must be nice living in your neighborhood. 🎶
Like next door 👍
Ok just stop. This is causing pain in my heart, it is too beautiful.
Son GENIALES, gracias por mantener el fuego de Rush y en especial del UNICO, Neil Peart !!!!! saludos desde un lugar llamado Chile !!!!
This is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone cover this song. Thanks for uploading this. 😀
Simply excellent!! It was for as emotive as the first time I heard that song almost 40 years ago
Beautiful greeting from Holland
Nice voice Billy. Glad to hear you singing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent job! Thank you
Excellent.
no other words needed.
That was amazing!

Note perfect
Brilliant.
Fantastic. Hugs from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Killer cover. Thanks.
Yes folks, if it isn't amazing enough how Billy writes songs and plays guitar, he can really sing. Dude!
Ah yes, and on the strat too. Hats off to you sir. That was incredible!
This guy is incredible. Nails it from every angle.
I also enjoyed the lava light, whilst listening to your playing. Jolly good show!
💯 Billy!!!!
Awesome - thanks!! ❤
Perfect!

Beautiful... I remember playing this when I first learned guitar - it was one of those milestone pieces. WELL DONE and thank you.
Flawless!
You nailed it Billy, thanks for that, took me right back to being 14 again :)

Thanks Billy, hope to see you play someday!
Man discovers fire, Man discovers music, Man discovers Rush. Regression towards the mean follows.
Great job Billy!
Sounds great
Nice work Billy!
I loved that.....
👏
Always a treat to listen awesome job!!!

Nice clean cover.
You really need to sing this live at the shows!!!
great voice!!! He should be singing the bands new songs
Well done sir 👍🎸
Gonna try and learn this part of the song by mirroring this. Might take a hundred replays, but it sounded so full of emotion that I wanna try!
Sounds perfect to me ! ♡♡♡
Wow! That was brilliant Billy! Hope you make it up to Canada soon. Who knows... maybe Alex and Geddy will make a surprise appearance on stage with your band.
Awesome job!
Very nice indeed! Great voice!
Ok guy... it's RUSH forever! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Fabulous!
Excellent!! The next part (that you didn't play) is the best part of the whole album, imo. The vocals are amazing.
If he could, he would become Alex’s clone. Good work, Rush addict. Lol
See you soon...

Thanks but it’s the Triumph motorcycle shirt :)

@@frontprochproduction btw I think Emmett did do some work with Alex if I remember correctly! He is a fantastic guitarist in his own right for sure :)
@@billyalexanderguitar please let me know if you have a link to that... 😎

Awesome.. but where was the rest of the song?
never enough for you people ;) lol
Wait. Why isn’t this dude singing in other Rush cover songs??
He does a couple.
@@markchidester6239 which songs?
You should sing together with Patty...

Perfect!!!
