Guitarist Reacts To Rush!! Subdivisions (Music Video Reaction!) Part 2 

So excited to be putting videos out more regularly again! Thanks for the comments, suggestions, likes and Subs! Part 1 Here:

The thing that sticks out to me in Subdivisions is Peart's drum work especially his attention to cymbals/ high hats during track.

Hey guy! I'm surprised that no one has suggested The Camera Eye by Rush. Seriously great song!

Dude you need to hear the song "MiddleTown Dreams". I believe that this song is an icon of reinvention in the way Alex plays the guitar. He makes a great combination of his guitar sounds and Ged Lee's keyboards. Many more hardcore Rush fans wrinkle (or wring) their nose at songs written at the time of synthesizers, but the 3 Rush members are musicians above all , not excerpts of a style or sound. They went where their spirit points, and fearlessly explored a new form. They are like a sponge for music, they capture the vibe that surrounds them and manage to synthesize it into music. If music were like architecture, they would be sculptors ...

Rush Double Agent from 1993 Counterparts. I haven't seen anyone react to this song.

Emotion Detector will give you chills.

This is Rush, being Rush, in my opinion. The "mature era" or Rush surpasses anything they did before this. I think everyone has been touched in one way or another by any and every song out of their 80's and 90''s catalog. If you haven't heard it before, The Pass, is one that's musically "normal" but has an extremely deep message to it.

"THE GARDEN" live . Clockwork Angel Tour. It's their swan song, last song on their last album. It will bring tears to your eyes

Haven't read any of the comments, so excuse me if this has been discussed to death.

It's easy to relate to this song, given how many folks grow up in the burbs or at least spent some portion of their lives there. I like your analysis of how people that live in the burbs tend to settle for what life deals them and not dream, and those that want more are ridiculed. This was kind of the song that transitioned Rush into their synth heavy phase. I think the success of this song back in the 80's may have influenced Rush to continue to make more commercial-friendly music, because they really didn't release too many extended length songs after the album prior to Signals, which of course is Moving Pictures. Most songs from Signals on were in the

I grew up in that neighbourhood about 60 years ago and this song still kicks me in the nuts. There's a time when all of your possibilities are waving in front of your face. The problem is the same for everyone: which one do you grab and swing out into space on? Just embrace the space, space baby, 'cause the clock is ticking.…

You obviously liked this. as do I. I would suggest " Middletown Dreams " that kind of plays in this same thread

Analog Kid from their Signals album is a good song with a killer guitar solo in it. Plus the usual all around good musicianship from the three of them.

My all time favorite Rush song. Out of the many AWESOME songs short and long, this one is the winner. I was 12 when this Signals came out and only new RUSH from this song on the radio. I fell in love with it as a 12 year old. I lived in suburbia. Played the video games, lived through that era in some respects as that kid. TIMELESS.

Thank you Tim for checking this one out and thank you for GETTING IT! I alos love the sound of the Oberheim and the Moog and the Rickenbacker! Alex does the bass pedals as well as guitar. Try that out sometime. When you start, you're tripping all over yourself as well as messing up on your main instrument! To play 2 separate lines in tandem, it takes time! Neil is just Neil. If you pay attention, the older stuff that people call "fantasy" from Rush, it's much deeper. Hemispheres when broken down is talking about the 2 Hemispheres of the brain. The fight between love and practicality, arts and science. The last line is "We can walk our road together if our goals are all the same, we can run alone and free if we pursue a different aim. Let the truth of love be lighted, let the truth of love shine clear, sensibility, armed with sense and liberty, with the heart and mind united in a single, perfect, sphere.

Those LYRICS and classic time changes! Damn!!🎸🎶👍🎧♥️

You made mom and dad proud on this one.

Red Barchetta. There's a great song with a great storyline to it.

Marathon is the best song from the Rush 1980's

It's definitely easier to get wings and follow dreams when you are super talented like these guys! The rest of us drones, well....
