What is your favorite Rush song? Share below!

@adamsteelproducer 2 года назад

Mine changes day to day, but it’s either the big synth fest “Big Money” or “Subdivisions”. You can tell I always wanted to be Geddy from my bass and keys….

@kylehegedus5498 2 года назад

Limelight, Subdivisions

@ItsMe-gw4kb 2 года назад

Always a tough question for me. In this case, it's a two part answer. For unreleased or unplayed on radio, Tears from 2112. For the rest, I'm split between Subdivisions and Lakeside Park.

@cozmicpfunk 2 года назад

I love Spirit of Radio and Freewill! La Villa Stangiato is a mammoth instrumental. Hard to choose just one!

@jesusmtz29 2 года назад

Because of nostalgia it has to be subdivisions. First rush song i ever heard.

@underwoodvoice9077 2 года назад

One thing stands out for me with Rush: they always liked each other, enjoyed being and playing together. And they were pretty funny guys. See Alex's induction speech to the rock and roll hall of fame, for example. As for my favorite song, Tom Sawyer was the first song I heard by them (at least that I knew), and it totally blew me away. It still does, as does most of Moving Pictures.

@Producelikeapro 2 года назад

Very well said, huge fan! They are an amazing example of what a great band can be!

@PickettMusic 2 года назад

I think that really makes an enormous difference. I've been in some bands where 2 years is too long. But another where 15 years and hundreds of gigs sailed by and there was just a great vibe onstage. The band that laughs together stays together. 🙂

@yetanotherbassdude 2 года назад

It's awesome but also a little sad that it was actually refreshing with Rush to see a band not come to hate each other or fall out and go off on solo projects, but you're absolutely right and it's a huge part of what made them so great. Lee, Lifeson and Peart clearly just loved playing together, making music and creating new things, and that feeling just shines out of every note they ever played, both in the studio and on stage (though I sadly never got to experience that in person). I think it's how they managed to stay so consistently good, too. Even when listening to their later stuff from the 90s and 00s, you never get the feeling that they were just churning another album out because the label demanded it or that they felt they had to for "lifestyle maintenance" reasons, as Billy Crudup's Russell Hammond put it in the "Untitled" cut of Almost Famous. With Rush, the music was always done purely for the love of doing it above everything else, and I'm personally just incredibly grateful for all the music they were able to make because of that.

Tom Sawyer is musical genius. A lot of people get turned off with music that is too complicated. Tom Sawyer starts off hard and heavy but simple. It gives people, even casual listeners, a chance to get comfortable with its groove. By the time the MiniMoog kicks in and guitar solo, it gets very complicated but by now most listeners have stuck with it. Then Peart’s massive drum solos come in. I can’t imagine how many drummers he inspired with this song. Finally this frantic musical masterpiece calms down back into its more simple groove mode and we ride it out to the end. Pure musical mastery. Also much credit must be given to their producer Terry Brown.

@johnharvey4496 2 года назад

As a Canadian I also cut my teeth on Rush. 45 years ago I had Fly By Night on 8-track. Now every time I listen to By Tor and the Snow Dog on mp3 or CD, I can't help but anticipate that point in the song where the cartridge changed track - know what I'm talking about? It's in the "Aftermath" section when Alex is doing that technique on his guitar what he also later did on the opening to Xanadu. I can never forget that time in my life at the age of 18 - it forged my musical identity.

Seeing Rush on what would be their last tour was one of the best decisions of my life. Seeing an entire arena of people playing air drums to this song is something I will never forget. Peart was a human drum machine. Never heard such a precise drummer in my life.

@geoffroubik5273 2 года назад

Hearing Rush for the first time was like finding a key to a room you weren’t sure you could go into. You kind of had to push yourself to understand what they were bringing, and so many of us found what in fact they were bringing, was our self identification. It’s the reason for the passion of the fans. Each album was another layer of their ‘onion’, but we all found many layers in ourselves. Another great episode, Warren.

@Producelikeapro 2 года назад

@smilerpink 2 года назад

As accomplished as all three members of Rush were individually, the thing that stands out to me about their music (particularly their middle and later work) is its restraint. Never comes off as chaotic or indulgent. Always a very coherent, purposeful whole. Their three way musical mind meld redefined the term “tight.”

Rush. My favorite band when I was a kid. Moving Pictures is the record that made me pick up the guitar. Not long after cutting my teeth on learning virtually every Rush song note for note on guitar I began to work for Alex. I've had all of his most iconic guitars on my bench (I'm a luthier) from the late 80s to present day. Warren, I'd love to get a Hentor Sportscaster replica in your hands....it's a guitar Alex has allowed me to replicate. A pivotal guitar in his career that was born right around this record. Thanks for the excellent breakdown of Tom Sawyer. Oh, and out of respect for one the greatest rock drummers that ever lived, I have to tell you that Peart (who is from my hometown and same high school) is pronounced "Peert" edit....The keyboard player I have jammed with since the 80s actually bought Geddy's Oberheim OBX-1. Oh my god.....can you imagine how thrilling it was when he brought it home ....we were checking it out and all the patches were still loaded in it. The Tom Sawyer sound, Camera Eye patch....talk about goosebumps!

Rush were an enormous influence on me in my teenage years. People always talk about Neil Peart as a drummer, but if he'd never picked up a pair of sticks, for me he would still be one the greats for his incredible lyrics. I read so many books in the 70's and 80's purely because of Neil Peart's lyrics. I don't mind admitting that I cried when he passed away, and I'm in my mid 50's. RIP Neil Peart.

I love the comments at the end describing that special sauce in their music. So true. I think the drummer for Death Cab said it well in the documentary. Something to the effect of, "their ability to draw a straight line through a song and make sure there's a lifeline to people who can't tap their foot to an odd time, plus their unique sound, makes what they do genius in terms of still being able to be played on the radio." Cool video!

Rush definitely changed my musical direction when I was 15 years old. I started a four piece band. We were all into completely different kinds of music. I wanted to experiment with sounds and combine the music of Philip Glass, but also Anton Webern and Alban Berg with rock. Our drummer was more focused on the upcoming metal bands at the time. Our keyboard player had a classical background and he was exploring the wonderful world of jazz. And our bass player loved to listen to quiet stuff and a bit of old school rock. BUT... every one of us LOVED Rush! ❤️

This is such a great video - informational, and really fun! For those trying to learn play it, take note that the song goes into 13/8 (subdivided into alternating bars of 7/8 and 6/8) during the guitar solo. Neil Peart emphasizes the rhythm beautifully by accenting on the downbeat of the 7/8 phrase, and on beats 1 and 3 of the 6/8 phrase.

I first heard 'The Spirit of Radio' on the 'Exit...Stage Left' album...and I still turn into a 13-year-old when I put that on and hear it explode in my headphones...

Hi. I echo all that, particularly Alex's soulful sounds. I'm no guitarist but if I were, he'd be a major influence!

I've seen RUSH a few times in concert and the musicality and musicianship of Alex, Neil and Geddy are such that they may be playing 3 instruments but it sounds like 13 instruments are being played. Also the best part of RUSH concerts is watching the first 10 rows; every guy and amateur drummer in the crowd is air-drumming in unison with Neil during every song.

I seemed to have spent an age learning Xanadu - but as you know - " Each of us, a cell of awareness, imperfect and incomplete Genetic blends with uncertain ends on a fortune hunt that's far too fleet" my Freewill was to learn as much Rush as i could.

They definitely composed their songs. I loved the sound and the LYRICS spoke volumes to me as a young kid.

So well said! Rush is my favorite band. They are the reason I picked up an instrument. They have the perfect balance between complexity & accessibility. Plus, they were great guys & great friends…I think that comes through in the music. They are my heroes & I try to find that same balance in my music… they are the reason I naturally think in odd time & the reason I pushed myself to construct a 10 minute epic prog rock song. There will never be another band quite like them! So amazing.❤️🎶 A great video as always! Thanks, Warren!

RUSH, The Greatest Band in music, I was fortunate enough to see them many time while touring with Priest. It took America and the rest of the world to realize just how great they were. When we toured Canada we saw how great they were.

Very nice homage. I've loved Rush since I was 12 (Permanent Waves). I can't pick a favorite as there is something to love about almost every song.

@jdubbs9655 2 года назад

Warren, Thank you for this very heart felt share! I think I speak for most of us when I say we miss Neil and without his influence we can never expect Alex and Geddy to continue the legacy that was built with the same impact. I remember when I bought The "MOVING PICTURES" album. I had a strobe light that I would turn on especially for this track and was amazed at how the strobe seemed to lock with the music. Incredible!

@@Producelikeapro As for my favorite track, it would be "WITCH HUNT". When the synth part kicks in I would visualize a large crystal chandelier slowly swinging to the tempo. This was a very imaginative track for me though I absolutely love the whole album!

Rush just might be bigger now than ever for one simple reason, I believe they are one of only a handful of bands that don't block RU-vidrs. I'm sure that must translate into sales and streams. The volume of Rush reaction videos is insane. A lesson to other bands and publishers who want to promote their stuff these days. As always, such a great personal video. Thanks. Oh, they played at my high school, Don Mills Collegiate in 72 if I recall. A little ragged. :-)

@Luthiart Год назад

Rush may not block, but RU-vid does. Every time I upload a Rush bass cover video, it gets blocked the second the upload is done. [edit] I didn't notice your handle until after I replied (after posting, I saw your avatar and thought: "Hmmm... that looks familiar", then I saw "Call me Chato" next to it). Love your videos, man! I didn't know you were a Rush fan... But you're Canadian, so I guess you kinda have to be. 😀

@fenatic7484 2 года назад

I remember that Alex and Slash got a petition to put Rory Gallagher in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (He was totally snubbed), they were both so humble to step up and acknowledge on of their biggest influences that made them want to play and as a person they really admired him, he deserves a video of his own, hint hint but they really were passionate in getting him the recognition that they felt he deserved. That blew my mind . I m 61 and listened to them all signed the petition and my son did too. They toured together starting out as his opening act and later he was opening for them. It was how life and music progressed, All friends and family on the road. One note on Neil was that he said “it was a good night when he nailed Tom Sawyer…”. Those are moments that you take from real life that defined everything as it relates as people.

@larrydavid6852 2 года назад

as you kind of alluded to Warren, for a song with so much going-on, there is a great deal of space left in there for the magic of each part to breathe. It is almost minimalistic. My own background is indie/grumge/post punk and I didn't even *know* this song until I came to SoCal in my thirties and found myself exposed to Classic Rock Radio (The sound). I'm still not a prog guy but this song is amazing. I think I could just listen to the drums, keyboard and synth tracks together without the guitar or vocals and still really enjoy it. This is the sound of spacecraft discovering amazing new worlds!

Fantastic job brother. I played bass and keys in a Rush Tribute called Blame Canada, out of DC for some years. The drummer for that band, Vince Tricarico, is equally great at reproducing Peart's drumlines. Those that play Rush know something about the music that isn't learned any other way, namely, how it feels to play something that is pretty much the epitome of your personal craft. And having a drummer that fully understands the music makes playing the bass parts possible... because otherwise the two are crashing into each other at places where the emphasis on beat shifts from phrase to phrase. But when both are played right, and well, for the player it becomes something very satisfying.... like the reason why we play at all.

I discovered Rush when I was 12. I have listened to them continuously and enthusiastically (maybe even obsessively) in the 40 years since. Rush is the soundtrack of my life.

@marcogman8905 2 года назад

Rush is the Progressive Led Zeppelin - Every note and beat had a purpose. Bonham and Peart - two of the best drummers IMHO. Biggest nod of greatness is Yes asking Geddy Lee to sit in for Chris Squire at their (Yes) Rock N' Roll HOF induction performance. Epic!
