Hearing that through my Koss headphones was a mind-blowing experience! Neil's drum fill in the middle of the song made me a fan for life. But I kept wondering who the chick was that was singing. Thankfully, a friend of mine who had been a fan since _Permanent Waves_ enlightened me. 🙂

@chrisoleary1909 3 месяца назад

2112 (Tewnty One Twelve) is a lot to take in. Neil wrote the lyrics after reading Anthem by Ayn Rand. It's a storyline inspired by that book, about a dystopian future where every aspect of life is controlled by the "Priests of the Temple of Syrinx." As young agriculture worker wanders off behind a waterfall, finds a cave and inside finds a guitar. He teaches himself how to play it and brings it to the Temple of Syrinx to show the priests , expecting them to see what he does in it, transformative music. They tell him to go away, they know about the guitar; it doesn't fit the plan, it's another toy that helped destroy the elder race of man. He goes home goes to sleep and has a dream where he sees the elder race of man not destroyed, at all, but travelling the stars to learn and grow even greater than they were. He wakes up and can't handle it. He's so beaten down by the reaction of the Prieats that he can't imagine a world as great as what he saw in his dream. It breaks him and he cuts his wrists open to kill himself. As he does the Space fleet of the Elder race arrives and invades, they destroy the Temple, knock out the Priests, and announce "Attention all planets of the Solar Federation: We have assumed Control."

There's nothing I can add to what your other commenters have said about Neil and Rush except to give you excerpts from my personal experience. In late 1976 on my sixteenth birthday, I walked into my local record shop. I was browsing through Queen records when my eye was drawn to a record in the R section. It featured a sound stage with a huge drumset on a plinth behind which hung a red star and naked man. It had a fairly plain title "Rush All The World's A Stage". I bought the album using birthday record token, took it home and put it on my old HMV record player. From the opening riff of Bastlle Day I was a Rush fan. Side Two of the first record had 2112 on it. I was amazed. A few weeks later, armed with another record token, I went back and bought the album 2112.

@jimbeam2501 3 месяца назад

Definately agree, it would explain the whole thing. ElizabethZ did a reaction to the illustrated video. It's a hard one to explain the complexities of the story. It's Twenty one twelve btw Andrew. The year 2112. Also there's a cheeky nod to the 1812 overture that Alex throws in ( 300 years later) 😅. Ok the 1812 was written 1880 but you get the link. Any how I second this motion to check out the illustrated video.

@johnladd8421 3 месяца назад

@matthewx360 3 месяца назад

Agreed. I've only been a fan of Rush about 4 years and this was how I listened to 2112 for the first time and I've watched it many times since. Such a great way to give you the story at the same time. Would have taken me many listens to get that without it.

@obiwanbenobi4943 3 месяца назад

Rush really helped me appreciate the rock and progressive era of music a lot more. There were other groups as well, but Rush appealed so much to my geeky and nerdy side that I felt at least that there was one rock group out there I could not at all worry about being into science-fiction or fantasy reading or the other more serious aspects.

@mikedown3219 3 месяца назад

Changed my life! I had never heard anything like it.

@obelisk21 3 месяца назад

As others have mentioned the story is that of a dystopian future in the year 2112. In this future, all of society is controlled by a religious order called the Priests of the Temples Syrinx and they dictate order and structure and have eliminated art and personal expression from the world. The protagonist in the story discovers a guitar behind a waterfall and learns to play it before presenting it as this new wondrous thing to the priests. To the protagonist's dismay, the priests destroy the guitar and label it an artifact of a flawed society that helped destroy the elder race of man. Our hero leaves the temple and dreams of an elder race of man who had music and art and many ways of individualistic expression who left the planet to explore the universe. In his dream, he also sees a future where the elder race returns to Earth and tears down the temples for the good of all. When he wakes he is in such despair for a future he feels he can never have he contemplates taking his own life only to realize that in the end, the elder race of man has returned to "Assume Control". After the commercial failure of the Caress of Steel album, their record company decided to give Rush one more chance and instructed them to produce an album with shorter-length radio-friendly commercial songs. The band decided that if this was going to be their last album they were going to go out on their own terms and proceeded to write 2112 as a middle finger to the music industry. The protagonist in the song is analogous to the band itself with the priests representing the record company executives who only cared about money and not art.

@roba7737 3 месяца назад

Excellent summary!

@andychisarick6879 3 месяца назад

Well said...I might add, Andrew should analyze Side 2, which I consider a further middle finger to the record company, Rush saying, "And by the way we can do it your way too but not because you insist, but because WE are the music experts here. You guys stick to the business side of things, leave us alone, and we'll all get bloody stinkin rich!"

@AnthonyKellett 3 месяца назад

You think he survives, after "my lifeblood runs over"? I believe he dies, THEN the elder race return. Perhaps, he dies trying to fufil this fantasy: "My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last…”, which may mean even the return of the elder race is a fantasy. Either way, he dies. Of course, opinions differ.

@danielwilliams3255 3 месяца назад

I am a Bass player who subs to this channel because understanding the Drummer's role in a power trio is vital. I mention this because my first rock band experience as a budding Bass player who could barely play a pop song was for a Drummer who wanted to play this song. Learning this song early on provided the essential instruction of knowing where to give the drummer space, and when to accent the drummer's exclamation points. There are many other Rush examples, but this was my first, and will always be special. Love your channel!

If you haven’t already seen the Drumeo series where a Drummer plays along to a song they’ve only heard once (without the drums), I think you’ll appreciate it and it might give you even more insight in to how the drums change a song. It’s really interesting to hear a song with two different drummer’s interpretations

@danielwilliams3255 3 месяца назад

@@bhelliom3 Thank you. I have evolved as a Bass Player to think of the power trio role of the Bass to be a needle that sews the drums, the guitar, and the vocals together. Geddy Lee is a prime example of this type of playing. He lays down alternate melodies to fill sonic space along with the drum groove. He switches gears and uses the Bass as a percussion instrument to supplement the drummer. He mimics the guitar lines at times as a reader would a highlighter pen on an important paragraph in a book. One of the most perfect examples of Geddy doing this is the classic "Free Will". And there is something about the solo section which is a pure "Tornado" of the bass moving between Bass solo, to accenting the drums, to accenting the guitar, back to solo, back to drums, back to guitar.. that is absolutely my favorite performance of this idea. Anyway, just more thoughts on this wonderful band. I have checked out that series and it is interesting. I love playing with drummers 10x more than playing with guitarists.

Pronounced 'Twenty-one Twelve'. There is an homage to 2112 on their Clockwork Angels album cover - look at the big clock, in military time.

It sounds a lot like the Rush album twenty one twelve. Just my opinion ha ha. Just to relate my story on how I discovered this work, I was in 8th grade in 1977 and we were studying science fiction in my English literature class. Our teacher asked all of us to bring in examples of science fiction and one of our classmates brought in an album by a group I had never heard of before called Rush. He of course had the album 2112 and our teacher played side 1. I wish I could remember that classmate’s name because literally my musical life changed forever hearing this. Thank you classmate wherever you are.

As a bassist since the early 90s its always interesting to go back to old rush because everything geddy is doing here bass wise is pretty easy. The vocals are NOT easy though. Sometime after this and before hemispheres he started to try and get better as a player and this was directly related to neil bc neil was very far ahead of geddy and alex as a player. He was by far the best musician in the band. Geddy talked about this in his book. He was very motivated by neil and because neil was such a monster since day 1, there was this competition thing going on with geddy trying to catch up to prove himself. Part of this was because he was fired from rush once in the early days. And thats exactly why rush got as good as they did. Neil really was the driving factor. Imagine being a kind of average although still pretty good bassist, but not yet amazing, and then NEIL PEART joins your band lmao. I would start taking lessons immediately 🤣. And geddy did say on rockline with bob cobuen that he started taking bass lessons at some point earlier on in rush. I cant remember when but he didnt do it for very long. Probably just enough to up his game with neil. Listening to neil here, he was like 23 i guess? He was so good already. It was like by the time he hit like 18-20 he was kind of already at the top of the mountain. Thats wild.

Pronounced Twenty-One Twelve...... Record company was basically giving them one more chance to write an album with "hits" that were "radio friendly".... So these three genuises handed over this master piece as an "F you we're gonna do what we want" and the rest is as you say history.... I think they did ok for themselves!!

My brothers and I were already huge Rush fans in '76 when they released 2112. I'm sure I can add nothing new to everyone's reaction. I had the good fortune of catching them on the 2112 tour. It was a great show. A few years back, I won an amazing prize from a Toronto radio station - all Rush CDs to date, comprised of all their live and studio albums, and even the compilations.

@obiwanbenobi4943 3 месяца назад

This was the song that made me really feel that drums could be melodic. In some parts Neil is playing a melody... I've heard this song thousands of times by now - but I never grow tired of it. Watching it again this time with you and the drum score playing was a treat. :) Thanks and cheers from MI USoA.

This 8 Track was my introduction to RUSH. As it happened so many times, 8 Track tapes would get fouled up in the player and break. When frustration took over, the thing would get tossed out the window of your car. I found such a tape, repaired the broken tape and there it was! 2112! Soon after I had to get All The World's A Stage! Been a fan ever since.

Pronounced TWENTY-ONE TWELVE. It's the year of the concept of the album, and... happens to be Neil Peart's birthday (September 12) which, in 24 hour time is 2112. Their awesomeness is unparalleled. I remember being a kid (12 or 13) spending my time in my bedroom learning all of the guitar parts. Sadly, I could not find a drummer that could handle this at that age. :)

@seaburyneucollins688 2 месяца назад

I grew up with this song, but never looked at a transcription before, and definitely never noticed how wild that 6/8 section is. The way he switches between dividing the measure in three and dividing it in four would be hard enough to keep track of mentally, but he makes it even harder by spamming all those drum fills throughout the section. I would have a brain malfunction trying to play something like that.

@DF-ee8vt 3 месяца назад

Interesting how you keyed-in on bar 130. That drum fill and the one which follows were how I knew in 1976 that Neil Peart was the best rock drummer of his era.

@shuntguy 3 месяца назад

In 1976 this was probably the hardest of hard rock ever made. Faster and more musical than Sabbath it set the stage for NWOBHM. After the "Down the Tubes" tour of Caress of Steel, Rush were at a turning point. It was do or die so the band just went for it and created the album that they wanted to make. If they were on their way out, they were going out on their own terms. The rest is history. It was also referenced, sort of, on Bob's Burgers.

I grew up in Toronto and a big PROG fan, my teen years being, 73-79. This is my favourite Rush album, which we lovingly called, 21-12. 😉 I'm not a musician but seeing what he's doing represented linearly makes things very clear. I'm very impressed, and, "I'll be back!". P.S. YYZ (Moving Pictures) is the designation for what was then, Toronto International Airport, which might put a different perspective on the song.

@seanmcguinness6669 3 месяца назад

Great to see your reaction to this, & have also enjoyed your dive into Sabbath, with Rush you gotta give Farewell to Kings & Hemispheres a listen, particularly Cygnus X-1, book 1 & 2 spanning across the 2 albums, welcome to the Rabbit 🕳 all you gotta do know is decide how deep you wanna go....we all knew how special the music was, thnx to your musings we can now appreciate it even more, it thats possible, take care & 🤘🙏

"I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon. City and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky. I used to think I had a pretty good life here, just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening. My friend Hon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, when the surving planets were banded together under the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The less fortunate gave us a few new moons. I believed what I was told, I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy. Then I found something that changed it all..." Anonymous, 2112

III: Discovery "...Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful..." "...I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the key's to make them sound differently . As I struck the wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious sounds, and soon my own music! How different it could be from the music of the Temples! I can't wait to tell the priests about it!..."

@michaelscaccia1454 2 месяца назад

Fun fact a lot of people may not know: 2112 was inspired by a called "Anthem". Neil read it and took the story and after a few tweaks put it to music. The ONLY reason I know that is because I read the book in high school, saw the parallels and looked it up to see if that book inspired the song. Sure enough - it did.

V: Oracle: The Dream "...I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so vivid to me. Clearly yet I see the beckoning hand of the Oracle as he stood at the summit of the staircase..." "...I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities and the pure spirit of man revealed in the lives and works of this world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and understanding as I saw a completely different way to life, a way that had been crushed by the Federation long ago. I saw now how meaningless life had become with the loss of all these things..."

The part with singular random guitar parts is when a boy from the future finds a guitar which isnt known to the people at that time.

@johnwolf3294 3 месяца назад

It's called Twenty-one Tweleve. A little note. Rush was about to get kicked from the record label if they didn't come out with a hit. Twenty-one Twelve is what they came out with. They said they were going to do it their way. After this album, the record company let then do what they wanted. They won complete control over their music. Yes, Neil wrote all lyrics starting with Fly By Night album. Look into the song, The Trees. 😊

@johnwolf3294 3 месяца назад

@AndrewRooneyDrums exactly, that's why you hear the explosions in the song. They said, "if we're going to go out, we're going out with a bang." It's considered Rush's 1812th Overture.

Instead of praise, sullen dismissal. I watched in horror as Father Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his feet..."

Great reaction, Andrew! A great classic! I remember hearing this for the first time as a teenager being played at the big local music store while looking at the new Scorpions album (when they were still great and before they went commercial). I asked the woman at the cash register about it, and she told me it was Rush's new album, which I bought on the spot. Loved it ever since. The 2112 refers to the year 2112. (Interestingly, Motion Device's epic song "The Infinite Wave" is 21:12 in length, as a subtle tribute to one of their favorite fellow Canadian bands.) As for the longest, this is a close call between this and Ina-Godda-Da-Vida which came in at 17 minutes.

Holy crap. Just when I thought that listening to 2112 for the last 48 years taught me everything, I'm hearing even more thanks to Andrew's commentary. So I'll pick out just one tidbit: At 7:54, Neil plays one measure of straight 16ths. But the accents are polyrhythmic, the timing swings, and the dynamics add a whole 'nother level. So much to hear in only one measure! No wonder Danny Carey and so many other drummers idolize him. RIP Neil.
