I saw an interview w/ Geddy once, discussing Rush cover bands and the topic of Geddy's voice being the hardest part of Rush to cover came up - to which Ged replied _'sometimes I can't do Geddy"_ Very excellent cover here! Well done 👏👏

I listen to this cover every day. Musicians all deserve much credit. The singer really goes for it and gets there.

Been a Rush fan for over 40 years. You nailed the spirit of this song, top work!

Awesome! As an old Rush fan it brought a tear to my eye. Fantastic job!

I have found the pleasuredome

This can't be real life. Blown away. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece with the world.

Spot on! So great to see the younger generation appreciate the intricacy of old RUSH. Well done!

Way to go, ModernDayWarriors! What a treat to hear this tune covered with such care and talent! Thanks for all the effort you put into this.

Great performances like these is why I consider myself one of the lucky humble mortals to, not only have walked the earth with the majestic Rush, but saw them live in concert.

Well... My mother introduced me to Rush since my birth. I'm 36 now and introducing my twins to Rush and that's how the chain goes. These band mates may have been born around the Test for Echo era.

Great and worthy attempt. But needs more cowbell

A most worthy cover! I am a true Rush geek and this one my favourites. Despite a few missing percussionary fills (but who expects you to have a 44 piece drum kit including tubular bells, a rack of cowbells and a rock star’s credit account) this is one awesome replica. Your musicianship is 100% spot on!

Awesome job!!! I'm 54 and I rocked this song way back in the day. I have hope for our future after seeing you young people cover this song. I really enjoyed this!! Keep rocking, and love her voice!!!

I can think of three guys who watched this video and MUST have had ear-to-ear smiles - well done MDW!

They look like they're having so much fun, keep it up y'all! Also a girl who likes Rush? Now that's my kind of girl

40 year rush fan here and I was hesitant to click. Glad I did. This is a very difficult song to cover. Kudos to all of you 👍

Absolutely fabulous no wonder the drummer was smiling at the end. Superb Performance

Wow!! Brings a tear to me eye, literally. These kids are so young and appreciate Rush. Girls voice is fantastic. What's so amazing is Rush is a three piece and no three piece band can cover them. Not even dream theater! I love it ❤️

THIS CHICK CAN SING WOW AWSOME VOCALS!!!BRAVO

It's 6 AM in Fort Erie Ontario, the birds are singing and I had to listen to Xanadu from my favourite Rush cover band. Cheers always.

Thank you for keeping the memory alive.

You, the Modern day warriors, sure have a mean, mean stride.

And all of this in just one take!!! Great!!!

RUSH é o maior trio musical da história da musica mundial!!!!

GREAT COVER! Rush is so much better than anything on the radio today. Amen

Wow. Just watched your Limelight and Red Barchetta video. Blown away. The level of talent in this band is nothing short of amazing. Geddy, Alex, and Neil would be proud knowing that their music has touched so many generations. Not easy songs to learn and you just keep nailing them spot on.

Great job, Back in the 7th grade for the morning bus ride to school some kid had this song and Cygnus x-1 on cassette and would play these two songs for the whole ride in every day......even when the batteries were dying ....great times 🤣

Good solid effort MDW....sounds awesome.great guitar work and solid vocals....thanks for keeping the RUSH flame burning.

I have been a fan of Rush since 1978. I have played the song Xanadu on the guitar by myself, and along with the band, thousands of times. I have heard several Rush cover bands over the years. Something I have always noted about any Rush cover, is that whoever the singer is who is attempting to sing like Geddy Lee... will hit the correct note that get Easley will sing but, will either add in vibrato, or will add in too much feeling, or soul. Geddy Lee sings with mechanical precision. NO FEELING. Its his style. Love him or hate him, that's the way Geddy Lee sings. I LOVE GEDDY... and I am a lifelong fan of RUSH. The young lady singing this sacred song has accomplished this feat. As a lifelong fan... I approve of this cover. Thank you! Now lets hear you do a concert long version of "Bytor and the snowdog".

Love to see the younger generation playing real (difficult) music. 👍

Fantastic job!!! Thank you!

She is awesome!

HOLY CRAP! Neil’s spirit is looking down upon you with high praise!!! Takes so much to learn to play songs like Xanadu or even La Villa Strangiatio (for example)… yet takes balls and beers to play it in one take!!!

I'm late to yet another party, oh well. It's so great to see young people take interest in the music us old timers knew was classic at the time. You're all very talented. Chase your dreams.

One of the HARDEST Rush songs to cover......and you NAILED IT!!!! Holy shitballs, Batman!!!!! Geddy, Alex and Neil would be so proud!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The female singer is HOT too ❤️ One of.....if not the BEST Rush cover I have ever seen and I have been a fan for 38 yrs!!!!

Love it!

Absolutley astounding talent!! Just wow. Dam that took me back. Simply superb!!

What I like about this cover is the singer just covers it with her natural voice. Sometimes covers get screwed up by the singer trying to sound like the original song's singer, which is admirable, but sometimes you just have to go for singing it in the correct key and "make it your own," so to speak. Nice job.

BRAVO. Very well done on one of my absolute favorites!

Outstanding!

Wow! Awesome!

Great job. There not a better band to model after period. Rush the greatest band ever!!! RIP Neil

Out of this world! You are so great! My favourite rush song ever!

Such an amazing job! You had me at hello with the intro execution. So great to see a new generation of Rush fans, and not only fans, but musicians that can actually play their timeless music!

From the first notes until I saw it your faces - I knew this was going to be tribute of love. I am writing this before I have seen it all the way through and I already know that you appreciate this band and it's transcending genre. Welcome to the family! We all know where we were at and who we were with when we heard the first RUSH song that endeared them into our lives forever - regardless of what that song was or when it was first heard. You have captured that here. Thank you. I hope you make your own way but tagging along the coattails of RUSH and making them proud of your tribute to them is not a bad way to start if you ask me. Stay the course. This is why I say: "Long live RUSH! May your music forever echo into eternity!"

I'm one of the most hired keyboard players in Chicago for over 30 years. I've toured over the world. I want to say, I really love you guys and appreciate what you are doing. You make my heart sing. Thank you

WOW! Great job, going to look for more of your videos....

Loved it !!!!!!!!!

Awesome!!!!

Makes me miss even more. This was fantastic.

Great! Xanadu is a great moment of rock. Congratulations!

Absolutely brilliant.

Another song hit out of the park!!!

Love it!!

AWSOME !!!

Watching Rush covers makes you realize just how talented Rush is. Will never see that level of creativity and musicianship packed into one band ever again.

My favorite Rush song & y'all did an excellent job at it!

Wow! Incredible

Awesome! Saw Rush Live at the New Haven Coliseum, Permanent Waves Tour. Saw them two more times. Can't recall which tours. My favourite band. Great Job! Loved it!

Way 2 go Modern Day Warriors! Zanadu is 1 of my most favorite songs, great job!

Excellent cover. You guys nailed it. Thank you. The chick doing the vocals, Geddy would be pleased, and your drummer, bassist, and lead, wow!

Extremely excellent!!

Excellent !!

These kids are f*ckin' killing it !!! I am 53 . Played guitar since I was 5 . Been a Rush fan since 1974 . Been in a lot of bands, even a couple/few Rush cover bands myself . Color me impressed !! Good job . You guys never stop challenging yourselves !! Never think you're good enough . Stay hungry and keep pushing yourselves & I can see you guys going A long way .

One of my favourite Rush tracks, and you guys knocked it out of the park! Great job! Glad RU-vid suggested your videos!

killed it !! That was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved it.

Great job guys!!! Awesome!!

My favourite Rush song and you rocked this one too! Keep up the good work and take the craft you've learned and apply it to your own sound. It could be magic.

Being a Rush fan for the last 40 years and the rest of the days I have left I really enjoyed this. Well done.

Bravo!!!!!!! Awesome work!!!!

You guys are extremely talented musicians,but you have also shown us what freaks of nature Rush was .

Very nice, thank you for doing this classic justice

This was just BEAUTIFUL!!!!! These kids got me all emotional right now. BRAVO 👏👏👏👏

Excellent, well done all

OUTSTANDING

Great job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 played this song a time or too. Lol so nice to see younger people getting into REAL MUSIC!!!!!! GOD REST NEIL!!!!!

Holy crap. You guys truly did a great job. What a magical song. Keep it up!

yeah, that was AWESOME

Given what happened a few weeks ago, this moved me to tears for a few reasons. Not only does this make me feel nostalgic for Rush, but also it’s incredibly comforting to know that literally generations later, young folks like this are invested enough to cover their music with such respect.. Amazing.

What a great effort. I’m a Rush fan from way back and I enjoyed your version. Keep at it.

As an older Rush fan, it's awesome to see a younger generation, enjoying Rush so much! Great job! So many out there don't know what they're missing!

I’m impressed. Guitar, bass and drums are dead on balls. Outstanding

BEAUTIFUL!! GREAT JOB!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the huge effort you have all put forth in doing justice to this masterpiece from my all-time favorite band! Words cannot describe how happy it makes me to see young musicians who were likely not born when this music was originally created devoting their appreciation and talent in honor of such a great band! Awesome work!

This is great, especially to see a group of young kids playing and enjoying music from my era and doing such a great job interpreting it. Great job.

Wonderful!! Thanks

Seeing a whole new generation of Rush enthusiasts carry on the greatest rock band in histories music ...is just a Tribute to Rush and their musical genius....keep up the good work ..your sound is AWESOME .!!...Rush would be proud ..

You guys rock. Keep up the great work!

Thank you guys. I am fan of Rush and I really enjoyed the way you revisited Xanadu.

Excellent.

i put headphones in and started working and then was incredibly confused when i heard a voice that wasn’t geddy’s.. completely forgot for a minute there that i was listening to a cover and not the original. amazing work

Excellent !! Hard song to cover and you all did a great job !!

Also luv how much fun you guys are having

Just great...
