Rush - YYZ 

Pardon the pun but "props" to you for acknowledging that.

This song makes me want to go back to Toronto! In my personal opinion an amazing city (though I am bias i got married there)

KYYZ should play yyz instead of the morse code identifier😂

I just landed at YYZ heading home to SC Cool tune and cool story behind the music

Not to be the a-hole but it's CYYZ in ICAO terms - K is USA P is USA Pacific including Alaska...

La Villa is my fav Rush song, such a great song, from my fav Rush album

100% agree

Saw Metallica drum man!! Do solo of Neil's drum solo at a foo fighters Concert And he did it excellent !!!

@@0ller music Angels sent here!!!! to calm me down and hide me FROM Wickedness

@@jayellzey8866 wat?

He and Ox are beasts...

Frank Zappa. Black Napkin

@VINCENT SCHLEY you can't go wrong with FZ.

That is a fascinating opinion.

Its good, but the best? Idk about that.

La Villa Strangiato though

I did not know that. I always viewed 'Behind My Camel' as album filler on that record. I would not skip over it because it fit in with the rest of the songs but I did not necessarily enjoy it either. YYZ is one of those songs that gets you pumped as soon as you hear the triangle start.

Remember that. I'm pretty sure even back then...Alex's response to the Grammys would have been 'bla bla bla'.

I always skip Behind my Camel when I listen the album Zenyatta Mondatta. I think its disrespectful to Rush

Funfact : even Sting hated that song and that's why he's not singing on it.

Oh pleeeez.. Behind my camel ? Gotta be fixxed.Damn that was a folkin rip off.

This video is pure genius! (and I am no genius!) Hey Slobovich, bring that piece of gargage up from the basement! Oh, Papa!

I am there, same, exact. Headphoned listened to YYZ countless times. Never knew of this vid until right now. Must start all over again.

This song was also part of the Laserium show at the Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles - it was incredible.

@@dxrobertson brand new clip. Just released this week. "Yiz? What the heck does that mean?"

@@jdmensing A friend of mine turned me on to the fact that YYZ is the ID code for the Toronto airport.

holy shit... 40 fucking years...

Well, lets see. Having been about 13 when their first album came out and never missing or disliking anything on any album and seeing every live tour from Signals on, I can clearly tell you that waiting over a year for the u-toob algorithm to get this in front of my eyes only made it .... long over due delayed gratification. I want every album animated like this so I can relive all these classics in a fresh new way.

Yeah, but La Villa Strangiato is in there, selected by Ged and Alex themselves.

Yes. Like when you beat the high score while playing. As if you’re on the flight home now.

A moving pictures machine would be sick too

I love that guy! And those three guys!

"Be your own hero." - Neil Peart

Rick just posted a discussion of Xanadu, well worth the half hour.

You saw his live stream of Xanadu?

@@TinaReggie I like how he just put that out because 'lately he has been listening to a lot of RUSH' He is trying to get Geddy and Alex on for an interview. They should do it. He promotes them lovingly.

I've never gotten over how much sound comes from just three guys. Longtime fan here too, but not quite from the beginning. My first Rush album was 2112 (on 8-track, just to show how old I am). They had me from that iconic opening swoooosh.

Big ditto here. Let the big wheel spin!

I'm with ya bro, fricken mind blowing! So fricken tight, Judas Priest 🌴🌴

THE BAG!😂

@@stevesmith8493 I don't get it. The Bag?

@@josephnaja it’s a ‘character’/ alter-ego Alex Lifeson dressed up as back in the day

Even after their retirement they still produce & give us stuff to be excited about.

It's come to be expected and as you well know, we are the fortunate benefactors of this fact 🙏

Love it

They learnt that FROM KISS! KISS gave them their start!

@@DMSProduktions Not even remotely comparable - sorry...

I didn't know that until now. That's crazy.

The morse code is for torontos airport

@@zylavormusic2616 Exactly. That’s the code for the Toronto International Airport.

@@PirulitoFlores More specifically, it's the designator for the VOR/DME navigation station at the airport, which broadcasts it's identifier in morse code. This is what airplanes use to determine their distance and bearing from the airstrip.

The bass is in a 5/4meter. So the question is .. is the morse code transmission of the actual airwave pattern I'm 5/4 as well?

I'm so surprised I had to scroll down so far to find this.

Legs?

@@oddkidbiker HEY! PHRASING!!

Actually it was Archer and Kreiger having this conversation right before Kreiger showed Archer a reanimated (cyborg) Katya.

@@iLoveUbeicecream I know. But they followed it up in the same episode with Pam.

👍

Well said. Same.

For sure!!!!

ok...

Same, bro.

Well put, nodding in agreement 😊

Tension and Release is what makes music great. This song is stellar.

That has always amazed me, the fact that it blends in together so well

For sure, that's one were the story's already provided for and there'd be plenty of action.

"The Camera Eye" could be EPIC!

The Camera Eye or Red Barchetta definitely. But anything else with this great animation and subtle humor chock full of references I'd be happy with.

I agree!!!

I've never seen this video, how freaking cool

Same and I'd pony up $20 to keep 'em coming if they exude this level of quality and devotion to the craft that is all things Rush.

I was also 13 when this came out!

I'm one decade short of that, but rush was (and is) the pinnacle to reach toward when I started playing guitar. guys like malmsteen were fascinating, but rush was the whole package.

I also was 13 when I heard this for the first time

Same here! Incredible works!

@Bringette Awnn South-Young High Knoxville TN

84 here, we listened to RUSH all the time, still love the music.

Just a couple years older. I wore out this cassette. Many fond memories.

18 now and I love them!

Alex really is in a class of one. When I took up guitar more seriously about a dozen years ago, it gave me a whole new ear into what Alex was doing in the music I'd already been listening to for 30 years. Now I've come to really appreciate, for instance, the mini-symphony that is the solo in "Between The Wheels;" who else could have possibly come up with that??

@@hubbsllccompletely agreed - one of the most idiosyncratic guitarists in history. I only saw him once live, but my mind melted to be sure. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I’ve seen just about all the guitarists people rave about, from Howe, Morse, Petrucci, Page to Vai to the gent from Animals as Leaders. Lifeson stood alone to be sure. The only guitar player who has blown me away more is a little known player named Brad Barr, who played in a trio called The Slip with his brother (Andrew) and a bass player who just blew my mind and I believe also used Taurus pedals. They were like the Rush of indie rock. (And just as overlooked in comparison to other indie acts as Rush was to other classic rock acts)

he is actually above all of them i say.

Dude is absurdly underrated.

Definitely the most underrated of all time and he has a legit argument for the top 10 guitarists of all time

their humor kills me 🤣 amazing!

RUSH = CLASS

"Yyz? What the heck does THAT mean?"

@@jdmensing YYZ is the IATA airport identification code of Toronto Pearson International Airport.

@@curtischen6613 yes, I know, thanks. I put that in quotes as I was quoting Alex's security guard at the end of the clip.

You sir have an excellent eye. I was noticing a lot of the same things and you just went and named them! Well done!

Also the McKenzie Brothers on right at 1:05

Check out The Warning. They are on the same path, the same way.

@@somedude5414 💯 % shall

@@somedude5414 trip. they not from around here... 😉😉😉

I think they share the top with cream

@@navneetsinghr4290 no offense... but my reaction is "who"? 🙃

it must have been a really hard to follow up! jeez, if i wrote that many good songs for an album and produced them so perfectly, it would probably be my last album...

@@jimmythebold589 That was definitely the "lightning in a bottle" album for them, and I'm sure that even THEY felt they were chasing it, after the success of its release.

It's a great album but let's not kid ourselves. Side 1 gets played way more than Side 2 does.

@@jonmarck That may be true for the casual or mainstream fan, but speaking for myself (a diehard fanatic since their debut album) I play side 2 as much as 1 and especially love "Witch Hunt" with it's powerful statement that i believe is more relevant now, In the state of our current societal issues.

Ditto

1979

Johnny Five O's in the house! LOL! (internet can be a very small, very cool place. LOL!) ok, internet, carry on....

Rush high pitch voice awesome with guitars and drums infact 90% of my favorite 80's guitar rifts come from Rush

@@jasonlacroix6083 keep rocking man

Doesn't everyone? ;)

lol same

@@guitarizt68 just the rockers!

Ello

I think we all air drum when RUSH comes on.

That's all they had

The bass is *chef’s kiss

Yeah but both Neil and Ged could make an octopus look quite limited

Yeah, I've done exactly that once or twice, get's-em every time!! One of my younger black friends was like, "OK, Steve, ya got me beat, that was epic" 😝😝

That’s your opinion..and as such, totally worthless.

@@williamwilson6499In concerts he actually did so idk what’s ur talking about

@@Linus91208 Should have been obvious that my comment was meant for your “Truly the Greatest Drummer ever” claim. Update: Just realized I responded to some random Karen and not the OP.

@@williamwilson6499how much Reddit karma do you have?

@@csgarbage188 Reddit karma? Is that something middle schoolers talk about?

When you see that fragment its kind of satisfactory

Makes me feel old also, wishing Neil was still here....🥲🥲 Best percussionist the world has ever produced.....

I'll never not tell this story: My late grandfather died in 2014. He was a high school English teacher and once had Neil Peart as a student for a semester.

My thoughts exactly! He'll always be the "professor" to me!

18 when it came out. Rush came for 3 dates that spring/ summer. I went to all 3. Ive seen them 21 times ( on purpose) Best trio ever and best trio of individual talent at their instrument of choice. I'm a Rush diehard and didn't give Akex his flowers til 10 years ago. Geddys base is sic and Neil? Well, dudes a legend

@@kenka5943 I wish I could’ve been old enough to see them in their prime, but these guys fundamentally changed how I appreciate music, and for that Rush will always be my favorite band

The instruments alone had a lot to say lol

Me too 😂😂

You do realise that that's exactly what someone older than you would have said about 'their' music, comparing it to Rush, and dismissing the latter? Also, I highly doubt you've heard ALL new music enough to say this is better than "any" of it. Why not just enjoy the song instead of using it as a vehicle to shit on music you happen not to like even though others do?

mad mad

Omg that's funny 😂 Thanks for pointing that out lol I never noticed 😅
