1. The chicken rotisseries are just one in a series of onstage jokes. In 1996, Geddy Lee (singer/bassist) began doing what’s called “running direct.” This is when you run your guitar/bass through a small direct box which is wired straight into the soundboard. You can attach it to different tone pedals to get the sound you want without all the big amplifiers and speakers, so his side of the stage was empty. Over the years, he decided to fill it in with the following: 1996-97, fully stocked refrigerators; 2002-03, three functioning Maytag dryers filled with tour shirts; 2004, two dryers and a rotating vending machine; 2007-08, the chicken rotisseries; 2010-11, a giant “time machine;” 2012-13, a new time machine. The chicken rotisseries were also part of the theme for the tour as it was in support of their Snakes and Arrows album. It played on the idea of the snake in the henhouse, and they referenced chicken throughout the concert’s videos. 2. The Barbies are easy to explain. Rush was mainly a “guy’s band” and was largely shunned by women. So, that was their inside joke of being the only way of getting women to their shows. 😂

YYZ live in Rio is epic. Their official video for Spirit of the Radio is fun and an amazing song.

@joshuawiedenbeck6944 Год назад

Both Alex Lifeson (guitar) and Geddy Lee (bass/vocals) have kids. Niel Peart (drummer/wrote the lyrics to all of their songs) had a wife and daughter who tragically died one year apart in 97 and 98. His daughter died in a car crash in 97, and his wife died of cancer in 98. Peart took time off from Rush at that time and took his motorcycle around the world as a way of coping/therapy. Peart then died of cancer in early 2020. They all grew up together, so Pearts death hit Lifeson and Lee quite hard.

@TheOutcast05 Год назад

Rush are Canadian Rock Royalty (as well as one 3rd behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for most gold and platinum albums ever) and played together for 40+ years before retiring. Geddy Lee on bass, keyboards/synth and vocals, Alex Lifeson on guitar and the late great Neil Peart on drums (as well as songwriting) are legit legends, and they have so many amazing songs. What gets to so many people is there are only three of them and yet they can sound like an orchestra. Also if you want your mind blown, watch a Neil Peart drum solo... The man could play like nobody else.

@sunshynff Год назад

Well, technically, in honor of Neil being such a technical drummer...lol, his last name has a direct link to Scottish origin, Perth to be exact from the 12th century, in which Perth is believed to be lineage from pre 10th century Northern England, and the Pictish people with the surname Perta. Or as The Professor himself has said in many interviews that there are over 8000 Peart surnames in the U.S. and thousands more in Jamaica who mostly pronounce it 'pert', and that he'd prefer that anyone not from Ontario or Scotland, just pronounce it like the shampoo. He stated it falls off American tongues, much more naturally in that pronunciation. Either way, he had a great sense of humor about it, and never was pretentious about such things, as is shown here in one of the best "funny of die" clips every made.

Tom Sawyer was the signature song off their most successful album Moving Pictures. The entire album was full of hits and in 1981 when it came out they were the "it" band that summer. The rotisserie ovens were there to balance out the stage. Alex, the guitarist liked his stack of amps but when Geddy, the lead singer/bassist/keyboard player started plugging into the arena system the stage looked unbalanced so they started putting popcorn machines, clothes dryers and yes rotisserie ovens on that side to balance it out. They used to throw t shirts from the dryers to the crowd and I read in one article that the chickens went to various area homeless shelters after the show. The band was notorious for having mostly male fans and the barbies are kind of a joke to give them a female cheering section and finally all three guys are master musicians being amongst the very best at their chosen instruments especially the drummer Neil Peart (pronounced Piert) whos considered, along with John Bonham to be the goat and also wrote the bands lyrics.

It always is fun to watch younger generations re discover music that us "old folks" grew up with.

@virtualchoirboy_mc Год назад

If you think the music is out of control, go back and read the lyrics. There's a reason why the drummer Neil Peart was called "The Professor". Between his GOAT talent with the drums, he was also their lyricist for nearly all their songs. These three musicians were really the "total package" when it came to progressive rock. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Rush appreciation. Personally, I'm happy that I was able to see them over a dozen times in concert and able to take my kids to see them three times. My wife even got to meet Geddy and Alex - an experience well worth the effort.

@corwinchristensen260 Год назад

Geddy's voice smoothed and deepened a little over the years. His highs were not quite what they were earlier in their career. Still awesome, just different. Listen to the studio track and you will understand. All three of them are using both hands AND both feet to produce what you are hearing. The depth to which Rush played to the fans and each other literally takes years to completely wrap yourself into (it's worth it.) The Easter eggs; amps -vs- washing machines / rotisserie chicken / popcorn machines; dolls and toys on-stage; nicknames; liner notes referencing everything from Armageddon to sesame street; literal jabs at society and authority; it's all that sense of humor and don't take us too seriously even though we are serious mixture of the obvious and nuance that they shared with us for over forty years. Lyrics that have stories on the surface and meaning in their depths, almost parables. Three of the greatest of all time, showing off and yet not stepping on each other. Sometimes called a "three piece orchestra." This is one rabbit hole that is absolutely epic ... please do more, you can't go wrong.

Rush is so much-lyrically, musicality, etc, from three musicians. I love your other reactions-you’re spot on with George Carlin. You have just enough musical knowledge to react, yet having youth and innocence to appreciate something you never heard before, with intellectual commentary. It’s just wonderful to hear your reactions. Rush is so much to react to with just one listen. I hope that you get to listen to more.

@don-o-seven1437 Год назад

It started when music went digital and Alex wanted the empty amp cases behind him because it was familiar. Geddy said sure you do that and I will do a washer and dryer. Then it just got silly. In both shows, someone came the switch the laundry and a chef came to check on the chicken. The dolls and such are usually gifts from fans.

@Swonder1972 Год назад

The reason is... most bass cabinets have not been mic'd for decades, mainly due to stage volume causing feedback. A DI, direct input, was used as a feed straight to the mixer. Thus, Getty eventually saw the uselessness to have cabinets on stage, especially since in ear monitoring has replaced most classic stage monitors. The guitar, drums and vocals are still on mic, but his bass cabinet hasn't been in the mix, or currently his headphones, since the 70's...

Back in the day before modern audio technology in stadiums and venues bands would have a lot of amplifier stacks that took up a lot of room on the stage. To help fill the empty space on stage, Rush started placing various household appliances on stage. On one tour they had stacks of dryers filled with Rush T-shirts that they would arbitrarily toss into the crowd. The rotisserie chickens were for the band and crew after the show. Another was refrigerators with water and other beverages

@DasDeadpool Год назад

@davidbrock2450 Год назад

Geddy Lee (Vocalist, Bass Player and keyboardist) runs his stuff through the venues soundsystem instead of using his on amps and speekers. So to balance out the stage because he had no "Stacks" behind him they started with clothes dryers. Then they swapped to the Chicken Rotissories. So at the end of the show the band and the crew (roadies, drivers, basicially everyone) all feast on the chichens that were cooked during the set.

@garylogan3640 Год назад

The reason you see the rotisserie ovens on stage is to balance the look. Geddy Lee, the bassist/keyboardist/lead vocals changed the setup for the feed for his bass and no longer had a stack of amps on stage. Sometimes they use clothes dryers. The barbie dolls if I remember right is part of a running gag about there never being women in the audience (not true... although there are more men)

@miconis123 Год назад

The bassist/singer used to use normal amps on stage but switched to using whatever setup the stadium has. To fill in the empty space he started getting creative. Other concerts had a few front-load dryers running with concert shirts in them. He'd pull some out and throw them to the crowd.

@TonyM1961 Год назад

The one and only Geddy Lee on lead vocals, guitar and keyboard (custom design that he could literally play with his feet while playing guitar AND singing vocals (Now THAT'S multitasking), Alex Lifeson laying down those killer bass licks and singing backup, then there's my hero... a true percussionist in every sense of the word. The Late Great Mr Neil Peart. In addition to doing all of the percussion, he sang vocals and was the musical genius who wrote about 99% of their music. While we only ever see him playing drums on stage, he was also talented on the piano and guitar (so yes, he could play around with tracks in his home studio, figure out which parts sounded good with what, dub it all together and just walk into the studio, spool up the tape and present the entire song in one smooth shot for the others to hear and start delivering their input into "let's tweak this here, sustain that note there, etc" but the changes were usually relatively minor and they could crank out a full album in as little as a week if they had really wanted to, but none of them were that sloppy or blasé about their music. "Let's take the time now to get it right and present exactly the right sound and avoid trying to make changes on the fly while on tour (sure they could have done it, but why put themselves through the stress when they can get it done and done right before hitting the road?). Sadly, Neil passed away in 2020 from brain cancer and the world is a much smaller place without him. To me he was, and always will be, The GOAT

@stevenrube691 Год назад

When the bass player, Geddy Lee decided to no longer use guitar amplifiers and instead play directly into the sound board, he felt the stage was unbalanced due to Alex Lifeson's stacks of amps. So he fills the void with everything from washing machines to rotisserie roasters, which are real. The chicken was used to feed the crew. The Barbie dolls are just indicative of Alex's crazy sense of humor. The inside joke is that there are never females at a Rush concert. Rush is one of the all time great. All this music from 3 guys, each a monster on his instrument. Neal Peart or The Professor, is considered by many to be the greatest drummer of all time. Sadly he passed away from brain cancer in January of 2020. Next song I would recommend is Xanadu Live 1981 Exit Stage Left tour.

So the rotisserie chicken ovens…The previous tour, it was washing machines. It’s because Geddy lLee (bass, keyboards and vocals) had his bas snd keyboards go directly into the PA system instead of traditional amplifiers that are then mic’d into the PA. Since he didn’t have the normal amplifier stack, his side of the stage was empty snd made it look weird. So they came up with different things to fill the space. They all have foot pedals or other methods of triggering sounds and effects. So not only are they playing their main instruments live, they are also playing a secondary “instrument.“ you must watch Neil’s drum solo from Frankfurt. It will blow your mind.

The fan asked for a picture and Geddy said "sure" so they handed the camera to Alex to take the picture not realizing he was in the band also.

Someone probably already commented on this but the Barbie dolls are there because Rush was famous for having very few women at their concerts. This became less pronounced through the years. But rather than lamenting it, Alex (yes, the lead Joker in a band of people with a sense of humour) poked fun at it. For the rotisserie chickens, Geddy (bass player) used to have his amplifiers behind him but then started using the in-house PA system instead. To balance it out, he puts things like this (and clothes dryers) behind him.

Fabulous reaction Britt, loved it, this too is one of my favorite songs and I think it was in my favorite favorite movie ready player one 😊

@dereksmalls5015 Год назад

My older (18-year-old) kid's band plays this song, it takes all six of them to approximate the sound that these three make. The singer, keyboardist, and bassist (my kid) reproduce Geddy, two guitarists handle Alex's part, and the drummer gamely tries to imitate Neil.

I know this is an older reaction, but just found it. I've never heard them called the 3 coolest dads on the block, but that's so what they are! Others have explained the barbie dolls and rotisserie chickens. Alex Lifeson (the guitarist) is definitely the comedian of the bunch. In some of their tours they played funny and off the wall skits on the screen before the shows and during intermissions. Their shows especially in later years were just 3+ hours of pure joy. They were always relaxed and like you said just up there playing for fun. If no one was in the audience, it seemed like they still would've been up there having a great time.

A reporter wrote once that RUSH was as boring as watching chickens cook... so they brought routissery chickens on stage

@MrTech226 Год назад

Britt My friends and I were fortunate enough to have seen Rush in concert during their Time Machine tour in Oct of 2010.

@farfromperfek Год назад

This was filmed during the Snakes and Ladders tour. I saw their show in Jax, Fla. They plays the South Park video of the band talking about Rush. (Trey and Matt are major fans) They also had washing machines onstage. I was 9 rows from the stage and couldn't smell the chickens lol it was just a prop.

@jessemorris8820 Год назад

First off - the chickens... Sometime around 1996, Geddy Lee (their bass player/singer/keyboard player), started running his bass amp signals from his amp directly into the House PA. All of that is just a fancy way of saying he didn't need all of his amp cabinets onstage anymore. Since they emptied out that space, and Alex Lifeson (guitar player/backing vocalist/occasional keyboardist/Barbiebabydaddy) still had to have all of his amp cabinets onstage, they had to put something in the empty space on Geddy's side of the stage. The first few tours had clothes dryers ("for their warm tone"). After that came the rotisseries ("for their hot, punchy tones"). Next up was popcorn poppers...and other things... The Barbies on Alex's side was probably a roadie's idea, or maybe Alex's, because - as you've detected - they all have goofy senses of humour. And no - no one else ever had the same kind of 360 degree drumsets that Neil Peart ever had (though some came close). You missed the South Park bit only because on the DVDs, the "South Park" intro to "Tom Sawyer" was put at the end of the previous song. There are versions out there featuring the intro - the South Park guys are huge fans and friends of Rush. I was considering sending some of Rush's work your way. They're worth diving deep into as far as their music goes. And unlike most rock bands, their musicianship is top-notch, their lyrics are staggeringly original and literate, and their creativity is extremely wide-ranging. Enjoy. This is a whole new world worth hearing.

First time seeing you Britt! Love your reactions! Do more rush. The barbies represent 1/2 of the females at the concert. Alex is the funniest!

@therealcarter1353 Год назад

Always Love Britt….This is a Great Song and reaction!

@deanroddey2881 Год назад

Geddy's voice dropped a lot from when these songs were originally done. You should do the album version of 2112 to hear what it was originally like.

@ryansheehan9462 10 месяцев назад

The chicken ovens filled the space where Geddy’s bass amps used to be before he started plugging into the house audio. In past tours there were washers and dryers there. The Barbie dolls are Alex’s groupies 😂

@davidwiebe8207 Год назад

The dinosaurs on top of Alex's amps (the lead guitarist) and the dolls in front are from his grand kids. And yes they are all Dads.

@chrislewis4163 Год назад

You have only scratched the surface of all things RUSH ! Dive in and enjoy !

@OhNoNotAgain42 Год назад

Geddy stopped using amps and starting using the house audio. His side of the stage was empty so they started putting appliances instead of amps. Sometimes washing machines or rotating chicken. “Blah blah blah” is from Alex’s speech at the “Rock & Roll Hall of Fame” introduction.

@goldenretrieverdad Год назад

Saw them 5 times. Word is they fed the road crew the chickens after the show 😂😂. They also had a washing machine and dryer and popcorn machines on stage. They weren't just masters of their craft these guys entertained us with humor and humility as well. The greatest band that ever was or will be..

@craiga1128 Год назад

All this amazing sound with only 3 guys RIP the professor

Your are Definitely the Main Character Britt!! Well done! We Love You!!

@efrum777 Год назад

For an explanation to the "Blah Blah Blah" T-shirt, check out their induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, then listen to guitarist Alex's speech. Hilarious.

@uncledonnie7556 Год назад

Rush had an open spot on stage the show I was at Irvine amphitheater the had washers and dryers and the crew did there laundry during the show.

@SylviusTheMad 8 месяцев назад

I know this answer is months late, but I can explain the chickens: Rush realized the venues they were playing provided way more power than they needed for their shows. They didn't have flashy pyro or lights, and they didn't have massive sound systems, so that power wasn't needed for the show. But it was there for them to use, and it didn't cost them anything, so on this tour they brought in rotisserie ovens and roasted dozens of chickens each show, which they then donated to local food banks.

@ssacra22 Год назад

Bass and Keyboard. Neil Peart on drums is widely considered one of Rocks greatest of all-time. Certainly well in the top 5. RIP Neil Peart!

@ChopperOTR Год назад

As for the chicken and the dolls, the chicken come from Geddy (bass) not needing amps on stage anymore because the soundboard was able to create the sound he likes so he plugs straight into the soundboard. Since there weren't going to be any amps on stage he filled it with rotisserie chicken ovens to feed the crew. One tour he put washers and dryers there for the road crew to clean their clothes. The dolls are a old inside joke. For most of their career they've been known to be a guys band, or a musicians band, meaning guys or musicians only liked them so as a joke Alex (guitar) made his own 'female" fan club that held signs and stood front stage in front of his guitar pedals. On another note you should find the video that has the South Park intro. Best way to intro the song.

@Efferri Год назад

OMG you finally got to RUSH! They made 40 years of music and they literally only have like 2 songs that aren't great! I can't wait for you to go down this rabbit hole!

@5foot2eyesofblue13 Год назад

The chickens are an inside joke between Geddy (singer, synthesizer player and bassist) and Alex (lead guitar). Alex insisted on keeping his stacks of amps even after huge amps were no longer needed to project the sound to the whole arena so when Geddy downsized he felt the stage was lopsided. They started out with washers and dryers on stage behind Geddy and actually did their laundry while performing sometimes. I got to see Rush twice in 2007 and 2013 before they stopped touring and Neil (percussionist) passed away and they had replaced the washers and dryers with the chickens by then. A stage hand came on stage partway through the set and took a bunch of the chickens backstage without any explanation or acknowledgement from the band. Apparently they used to feed the crew with the chickens as a thanks for all the work they did. Rush is my favorite band if you can't tell.😂😂😂

@MrFast928 Год назад

You need to watch the guitar player when they were indited into the rock & roll hall of fame (priceless). I saw them in NJ & they had dryers on stage with shirts rolling around in them. Saw South Park video there as well.

@mikeedwards2537 Год назад

Yeah…some of the best musicians I’ve ever heard.

@MrLedotson Год назад

Alex Lifeson, the guitarist, is a comedian. Check out his R&R hall of fame speech. Rush has never taken themselves too seriously and is probably one of the reasons they lasted so long. No over the top egos. Historically, Rush shows are comprised of men. Therefore, the Barbies in the audience. Geddy Lee, singer/bassist/ keyboards, used to have giant speakers behind him also. When he started playing through the house speakers he brought in things to keep the stage balanced. Clothes dryers, I , the beginning. This tour a person would come out and based the chickens during the show. The roadies and stage crew had a feast after each show. Neil Peart's set is really 2 drum sets. One acoustic and one electric. It turns around. I suggest watching one of his many drum solos. Your next song should be Xanado. It is older and more progressive.

@thegman8968 Год назад

😊Yes, more RUSH please! The Barbie dolls were for Alex(guitar), who always complained that very few females came to their concerts. The rotisserie chickens were Geddys' (singer) way of matching Alexs' huge stack of amplifiers! Next RUSH tune: "Witch Hunt". 🏆

@mark-be9mq Год назад

Chicken & Barbie: Geddy stopped using large stacked amps as tech allowed him to play thru the sound system. Alex still has his behind him for sound. To visually balance the set, he put different large items on his side. Washing machines, Rotisserie Chickens(which the crew ate after their work). ,ect. Alex has put goofy things like trolls to embellish his effects-pedal setup. The Barbie dolls w signs are a play on the joke, that for a looong time the band's fan base was 95% male. . BTW, the band played 40 yrs together, but Alex & his wife Charlene have been married 48 yrs now & a couple since 1970.
