Billy Corgan is a Rush Fanboy 

I feel the same way watching this.

You clearly have no idea how to evaluate a musician if you think that. I can play that stuff.. so no.

@@morbidmanmusicyou can play it? Drums? Bass? And Guitar? You're a legend in your own mind buddy.

​@@morbidmanmusic People say nonsense like that. Of course anyone can play a song. The genius is in the writing and composition of a song.

billy corgan is the worst frontman of all time no contest he makes thom yorke look like robert plant

Biff Dinkley Been saying the same thing for the last 20+ years. Sadly, it's not only limited to RUSH but damn near every artist. Another instance is Gordon Lightfoot. Shite, thought Lightfoot only had 3/4 good songs until I bought a greatest hits tape.

Zeppelin doesn't have as many albums

Rush is more famous now than they every will be..That is a good thing .

Rush has the most consecutive gold and platinum albums of any band, after The Beatles and Rolling Stones. The critics can write them out of the narrative, but the narrative is still there. It's kinda like Trump wanting to stop testing for Covid-19. It's not going to make it disappear.

Zeppelin deffinetly ripped off other peoples music and style those other 2 bands are average in my opinion. Rush is on a way different level.

One of the most Talented group of people. All they truly wanted was for their music to be heard and to touch people. They were introverted geniuses who didn't want the typical Rockstar lifestyle. Thats how it should be most of the time..... talent over style

@@aledwards6787 Good points, however I don't think they are/were introverted in the true sense of the word. But they are/were humble and dismissive of huge media attention. Their cohesiveness and brother-like relationship with each other further cemented the view that they shunned the flashy rockstar life.

@Joseph Laurent I concur.

@Joseph Laurent What about The Bee Gees?

Once you see them live you get it. In 89 I did only once in my life and I was like well “Wow”! Hard to nkt deny the sheer effort each man put in and the way they steered clear of media is unusual.

That song let us know that what we were doing as teenagers was happening all over the place and that we were all. experiencing the same things just in different parts of the country (or world for that matter).. It connected us all!.. That song still does the same thing to me my friend RIP Neil

SAME!!!! That song stands above everything for me and I really don’t know what it is!

That song applies to me as well when I was in high school. Hearing those lyrics being not so good memories.

@@ABBA1966 It's good and not so good with me. But everyone's experience is unique.

Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone.

yeah what a genius LOL...

@@tambor76 actually, it was his only time being a genius. He knows Rush has infinite more talent than kiss, yet wonders how his band became more popular. Lots of stupid people out there.

@@markbrinton6790 Exactly! Well said mark! I hear you completely as well as share your name.

@@wangson cool, what country do you reside in?

Gene and the boys treated Rush great as their opening act. Respected their talent and didn't have diva issues with them. It is a beautiful thing when bands get along. They always did.

I've mentioned this to another comment on another video. Most media hated prog in general, thinking it too self-indulgent, which is why they loved punk. Rush, Yes, Genesis, Crimson, ELP all got hate from mainstream music media for most of their careers, and they still persevered and all have sold millions upon millions of albums worldwide. Yes, Crimson and Genesis are close to their 50th anniversaries, with ELP soon to follow, and about 4 years after that comes Rush's 50th.

@@GenesisFan01 While I agree with you on everything else, the only band that had the stamina was Rush They never broke up and got back together like all the other bands you mention, so non of those bands are having a 50th anniversary, let alone any decade long anniversary. You don't understand what the word anniversary means.

I would extend Alternative Rock, missing Radiohead and Muse

And then Death Grips (2010- ) lol 😋

​@@charlie172011qotsa tool bro wake up

It means they aren't widely known as VH, Floyd or Zeppelin .. .which is true.

Exactly, of all the shows I attended in the seventies it was Hemispheres 78; Permanent waves 79; all added 2nd shows.

@@Nautilus1972 Right, but you could say that about 98% of the bands out there. I do think Rush started to bump up next to VH in popularity, but probably in this century

He’s talking about the mainstream media that looks down on RUSH

Yeah, because the Black Crowes are totally pertinent to this video.

@@eldoabrahamson Black Crowes are useless

ByTor1212 You're not alone. More recently or at least in the past couple of years, I've been listening to the later stuff from say Vapor Trails and on.

They've had some great stuff later on, it's a shame it doesn't get as much credit or attention

I think it depends on when you found and connected with Rush. My entry point was Roll the Bones, so that holds a special place with me. The stuff from the 1970s was great, but one of my favourite songs will always be "Bravado." --it used to be number one on my list, but that's now been superseded by "The Garden."

The first time I heard 'The Garden' my impression was.....this is Rush's Swan song. Great tune, Clockwork Angels is as good as any Rush record.

Signals is my fave album.

Chicago's not that far from Canada.

I'd say other bands can lay claim to the genre ahead of Rush, and this is me talking an incurable fanboy as well. Look into Gabriel-era Genesis, early Yes, Can, etc... all of that predates Rush' s prog phase of the late 70s. Rush' s flexibility in making different music over time is impressive too, arguably unrivalled.

lachazaroony king crimson

Progressive rock is a term a bit older than Rush. Maybe mid 60's given to bands like The Beatles, The Byrds and The Moody Blues. Till late 60's there were many prog rock bands already.

I don't think it was created from Rush. Rush played a major role in prog rock. You can't say prog rock without King Crimson. They basically laid the foundation of prog rock.

​@@Th3DarkCanucklook up Yes

People like Billy usually does. He's a smart man

Rush is anything but underrated, they've been held in the highest esteem of fans, their piers and the music world since the time of their inception!!!

I never under rated RUSH or Lifeson

metamorphosis67 without a doubt, I just made pretty much the same comment on another clip

It's a matter of taste. Personally, I find Hold Your Fire, Presto & Vapor Trails to be masterpieces.

Clockwork Angels is a masterpiece.

I didn't think of it in that perspective when I commented earlier, but I agree, the Terry Brown era is "IT" for me . I understand they needed to part ways with Terry, and they had some really good songs here and there afterward, but I think Rush really found their best groove in the late 70s and early 80s with Broon. I think most fans agree that the Rush/Broon dynamic wasn't working well with Signals. And no matter what they tried to do later, I have to say I couldn't listen to Ged's singing, which sounded way too polite and nasal for me after he wore out his vocal chords. If they needed to hire a fourth member in the later years, I'd have voted for a singer, rather than a keyboard player. I'll admit it would have been very strange to see Rush with a fourth member at all, let alone one singing the old songs while Geddy played bass.

@@eldoabrahamson I wish I had your perspective because I want to love those albums as much as the other stuff.

***** It's also John Petrucci's favorite.

SRNF Hahaha!

Ha!!

Lol! :D

;0 watch the rush documentary "beyond the lighted stage"... it's epic! RUSH =is= EPIC!

1:49 (Chirpiness), means cheerful and lively and 1:59 (darkness) opposite of chirpy, so he liked the moodier darker qualities of some Rush songs like Cygnus x-1

Sorry I took 8 years to answer this.
