Rush- YYZ Reaction 

If Geddy Lee is underrated, it's not by anyone who's ever heard him play.

Geddy Lee is a HIGHLY rated bass GOD!

Whenever YYZ ends, I immediately hear the chords for ‘Limelight’ kick in.

Now that you've heard the studio version, listen to YYZ Live in Rio. The giant crowd singing along to an instrumental. It is truly awesome. Please react to 2112 .

The underrated one is Lifeson, the guitarist. The way he gets that thing to SING, man...

If anyone has been under-rated, it's Alex. Not in my book

When it comes to bass playing Geddy Lee is arguably the GOAT.

Bass player Geddy Lee is definitely NOT underrated. He's won tons of bass player awards and has been a huge influence on many next generation bass players.

"That bass player is highly under-rated" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nah little Sis.... Geddy Lee is considered by most, fellow musicians and fans alike, to be THE BEST EVAH!!!! I love that you did the studio version first... Now, get ready to have your face BLOWN OFF by doing the "live in Rio" version of this song, as it is EVEN BETTER! BE AMAZED! YES, IT'S ONLY 3 DUDES!!!

Now you need to watch the live version of YYZ - in Brazil

trust me that bassist is not underrated

Finally a Rush reaction where "the bass player" is mentioned.

Rush songs: Spirit of Radio, Limelight and Red Barchetta are must do's.

"Video game star trek galactical warfare with a rock music soundtrack." I love your descriptions.

No one can resist air-drumming while listening to Rush....

RIP Neil. Genius like yours will be missed

Another great instrumental Rush is famous for predates this one by a few years & is entitled "La Villa Strangiato" You definitely want to check that one out. One of their most epic old school tracks from back in the day would be a song called "Xanadu"

This was the song that allowed me to completely understand their music. I had always liked them but this song made me realize the genius of Rush. Rush are the masters of transition. Incredible transition is displayed in all their songs, but this song, without lyrics displays their transitional skills perfectly

My favorite Rush song...now you're ready for YYZ live in Rio, hundreds of thousands of fans singing this instrumental! 😮😁

3 guys all at the top of the talent tree. Phenomenal! Canada's finest!!🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦

This is the first time I've heard this song and I love it!!!

Everyone taking exception to the "Geddy is underrated line", please, let's just focus on a Rush fan in the making, experiencing their outstanding music for the first time, and being able to appreciate their music so quickly with little prior knowledge of any history or accolades they have garnered over the years. ScribeCash, keep listening and enjoy the journey down the Rush Rabbit Hole.

I was 16 years old I went to Sam The Record Man and bought the album Moving Pictures a brand new release by RUSH. I had never heard any of the songs yet but had all of the other albums by RUSH. Tom Sawyer blasted out and I was immediately over whelmed every song after that was a masterpiece. I couldn’t stop playing it and then my mother came home and told me to turn it down.

"You finally nailed YYZ?" "It's ZED, and no. Neil Peart stands alone."

Rush= 3 fantastic musicians. Masters of their instruments. Yes more please"working man", "subdivisions","2112","freewill","spirit of radio" so many great songs.☮️

Working Man on the first album is a hard rock in your face sledge hammer. A must listen if you want to know Rush. Anthem would be another great listen. You Rock!

You MUST watch this live in Rio! It's an absolute MUST! You will LOVE it!

Geddy is a machine. Saw Rush live twice and he sings, plays bass, the Moog foot pedals and keyboard. Simultaneously!

All three are genuine masters at their craft. There will never be another band like Rush.

it's a three piece band! that's what makes them so impressive

The emotion on your face is so genuine. I love it Great video!!

Exhaustingly amazing....I love your reactions. I can tell you are a musician, because you are really working your ears and tuning in to every detail, totally open and receptive to what each instrument is doing, it's really refreshing to watch..and Rush is THAT band...the one made for air-drumming, air-guitar, air-bass. Awesome!!

It's basically lead guitar,, lead bass, and lead drums. Three of the best at their instruments, second to none.

Loving your reaction channel, keep up the good work.

loving your reaction and appreciation of this music, it shaped me when I first hear it first time around, wonderful to see it still has the same impact.. I am reliving that feeling through your reaction. Thanks

I love your reaction. Power trio! Happy holidays.

YYZ is the airport code for Toronto, their hometown. The inspiration for this song is the feeling of excitement they would feel when seeing the YYZ tags on their luggage at the end of a tour. It would give them a happy feeling knowing they were going home.

The spirit of radio, witch hunt, subdivisions

Rush Necromancer....their most underrated song ..truly strange but an utter delight

YYZ is is the call code for the Toronto airport. Neal peart - on drums Getty Lee - Bass Alex LiFeson - Guitar

Spirit of radio

Geddy Lee is one of my bass influences. I've only been playing bass 38 years. 😆

Geddy Lee is NOT underrated. ALEX LIFESON is underrated. If he were in any other band he'd be a legend. In Rush, he's the Third Tenor.

I love when ya hear your lil guy laughing in the background. Makes you not just an L.A whatever dude. Shows your real ,and I appreciate that

The Spirit of Radio, Freewill, Red Barachetta, Camera Eye!

My son is 11 and he plays drums. he was in total shock when he listened to neil pert for the firt time.

Rush is amazing. I saw them play YYZ in concert many times. It never gets old. It’s three masters of music. I enjoyed your reaction!

2112 next. Its an epic inter planetary journey across time and space. 2112 will blow your mind.

Alex Lifeson is on Trailer Park Boys doing "closer to the heart". Pretty cool guy. And he did a tune with Bubbles and the shitrockers. Great guitarist.

So underrated when "YES" entered the Hall of Fame, they cheered that Geddy was bassing Roundabout.

Seeing you rock out to this is a BEAUTIFUL sight! Next up Red Barchetta, Subdivisions, and The Spirit of Radio!

3 Rush tracks in 3 days, I'm subbing... keep going at this pace and it's going to be an enjoyable 4-5 months :)

Working Man 🤘🤘🤘

Yes! My favorite RUSH song. Watching now.

Cash, love Rush!! Welcome to the rabbit hole! Rush has soooo many great songs, your ears will love their music! I think the next classic song you should rock to is - “2112” it’s epic!! Also, another GREAT rock band you should dive into is.. Pantera! You need to start off with their live performance from 1991 tour. The song, “Domination” Rock on!!!

Toronto's (YYZ) Rush transitions are phenomenal. Great song and love the epic ending to it. A creative bomb and just amazing. Amazing technical prowess and Canada's greatest band ever.

3 Canadian dudes shredding it and changing music forever!

Ty for reacting to my favorite band ScribeCash!

You got sooo hyped by this song! 😂🤣😂🤣 I love it!

Your reactions are priceless. Always good to see a young one appreciate music I grew up with, and found compelling to the point where I had to listened to it over and over again. Just look up Neil Peart and watch some of his drum solos over the years. The guy is, as my drum teacher used to say, "a monster." 😊

Great. You should react to "Rush in Rio" version of this song. The crowd is insane. "Whow do your hands move that fast? " it's Neil Peart!

Edgar Winter - Frankenstein (The live video *"Fankenstein . Edgar Winters . Group 1973"* is probably the most entertaining version)

RIP Neil Peart - The man who made me a drummer. And Geddy Lee.....no words

RUSH!! yes! La Villa Strandiato is another amazing all instrumental Rush song I think you would really enjoy!

The absolute best part are the facial expressions at the beginning. Funny. I think most of us did that when this first dropped.

Can't get much more highly-rated than Geddy Lee. Definitely one of the greatest, and my inspiration for becoming a bassist.

I was fortunate to see them live many years ago.. Three fabulously talented musicians. Top notch...

Thx for doing some Rush. I love you reacting to all this great music I grew up with. Do some Earth Wind and Fire or the Tower of Power next. Two of my top five bands of all time.

I'm amazed that you of many RU-vid channels , have been giving your response or take on songs and , yes comedy. I'd like to just thank you for not being narrow minded , as some folks are. Keep on what your doing. My genre of music is most all , but up to 2010.

You have to hear YYZ live in Rio! It's a must! Great reaction!

So many awesome Rush songs. 2112, By torg and the snow dog, Driven, Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres and Cygnus X-1 all absolutely mind blowing!!!

RIP Neil Peart. Only 67. Greatest drummer ever !

Congratulations, you've just been Rush'd!

Geddy underated is the funniest thing I have heard in a reaction video...it makes my day. You should have done the live version in Rio.

Scribe Believe me that they are awesome live! Rush rocked this song during the Time Machine tour in West Palm Beach. But Rock in Rio, Brazilian audience gotten into this song. Rush is awesome in live concerts!

Many of your questions can be answered by just watching yyz Live in Rio- the audience actually sings along with this instrumental! btw there are only 3 musicians in this band... can you say power trio?

ok there is a story behind this song. The band is in flight and approaching Pearson International Airport Toronto, Ontario Canada the bands home town. They all have cockpit headsets on and are conversing with the pilot and as they approach the airport they hear this unique sound over the radio. They immediately thought it was a cool sound and asked the pilot what that sound was. The pilot explained that all airports have call letters and its sending us a message in Morse code that we are approaching Pearson International airport. They decided right then to make a song using that sound thus the very beginning of the song Alex is recreating the Morse code for the airport on his guitar. The call letters for the Toronto airport is YYZ. Obviously the song is an instrumental unless of course you are from Rio de Janeiro Brazil were those crazy kids at that concert were singing along with the song. (yyz live in rio).

LOL!!! Yes, all our minds were blown when we heard it the first time, too. And to see them play it live multiple times - I’m a lucky man 👍🏻😎. The Spirit of Radio - gets my vote for next. Then maybe something older and longer - Xanadu - Live 1981 - would be my suggestion.

LIME LIGHT

You need to listen to Primus after that opening (“John the Fisherman”, specifically)!

Saw them 10 Times in Montreal!What You need to know is that Rush is a live band,That’s what music is all about!Where everything make sens!😃

Well done..... you identified the significant parts of the song.... Watch YYZ in RIO. 80,000 people jumping in rhythm is something to watch

Great reaction! Now that Getty is retired, he's collecting bass guitars. 200+ of them! Has a great book about them.

So glad to see that you found the music performed by Rush, before the death of drummer Neil Peart on January 7th of 2020. Your reaction that I see here is what I feel every time I listen to the song the first time and every time since this album came out 40 years ago was it? I'm so glad to know that I have so much more in common with you than the things that society would pinpoint about the differences between us.

Geddy Lee is the GOAT when it comes to rock bass players. Never underrated.

That is Neil Peart. Pure talent, no trap programmed and press play. Pure talent.

I can't wait to hear your next song now that you have had all of these influences implanted in your mind. When you were vocalizing "bum bum de dum, bum bum de dum dum" I realized that may be a good influence for another work of yours.

Seeing them live is amazing. Three guys, virtuosos, just having fun. This song is basically just a jam session and an opportunity for Neil Peart to break out his “big” drum kit lol

OKAY, I'M GOING TO RING YOUR BELL! The guitarist is underrated. That's what happens when you're in a band with those other two. 2112 - The Temple is what made me a Rush fan. You can play the Chronicals version so you don't have to listen to the entire rock opera (even though you should).

Has been one of my favorite songs for almost 30 years. I always play this tune first in a new car. 🏁👍😘

Wow! Wow! wow! #LOL So cute to see these young kids freak out over this stuff - Luvin it -

This is three guys. 3. What's amazing is that they can reproduce studio version live. Both Alex the guitarist and Geddy the bass player, play synthesizer parts with their feet on synthesizer pedals on the floor so they can reproduce the music Live. One of the best examples is the live version of Xanadu, exit stage left. You would think there is no way three guys could perform this life and be true to the studio version

Rush is the band that everyone should listen to if they really want to be a well rounded musician...

Just three. That’s right! Just three dudes making all this glorious noise.

Underrated = I am discovering Rush for the first time in detail.

I was lucky to see them live about 20 yrs ago.. awesome performance live...

Great to see the birth of another air drummer. You can thank Neil

Bass player Geddy Lee, aso keyboards and vocal. Guitar is Alex Lifeson with those amazing talented fingers and of course Neil Peart on drums. This group is so tight and on cues and changes. Sometimes I forget how great they are, thanks for reminding me. I'm Canadian near Toronto and YYZ is for Lester B. Pearson airport in Malton and part of Toronto. No, I never say 'Eh'....that would be a Newfoundlander on the east coast.

It's amazing it's only 3 guys, truly master musicians rush rocks!!!!!
