Er...more like the singer couldn’t sing like Geddy coz he didn’t have the vocal range! Just a cop out! Typical bar band singer. When in doubt just blame someone else in the band. Quick joke: What’s the difference between a drummer and a gynaecologist? - A gynaecologist only plays with one cunt at a time!! 😂😂
@@buddycollins1000 The singer doesn't need to sing in the same octave but the drummer needs to be able to play Peart's rhythms. Most drummers can't do Neil justice.
Saw these guys two weeks ago in Dayton Ohio. They sound exactly like 70s, 80s studio Rush! This is now your best chance of seeing the closet thing to real, go, support these guys!
I'm sensing the need for a pilgrimage to the US to see these guys... Brilliant tribute from the drummer in particular; the great man himself would definitely approve!
Coming from a very serious Rush fan starting from day one,you guys nailed it. Personally have listened and watched many cover bands,you guys have it down to the fine timing,well done hats off!
That's gotta be one of the hardest outtro's in the Rush catalog and Rush is known for their tight, improvised routines at the endings of these tracks. I'm impressed by the whole band on that jaw dropping execution.
Rush is a band that will be among the rarest of Tribute Bands because they were so frickin’ unique and good. These fellows here did an absolutely great and unbelievable job!
I can't explain it. I actually got so overwhelmed by this performance that I had tears welling up in my eyes. WOOOOOWWWW!!!! This was impeccable. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING OUR BELOVED RUSH ALIVE! This band is absolutely phenomenal.
They were going a lot longer before Neil passed - don't associate what they do with his passing - it's wrong and disrespectful to Neil - they don't do this for him, they do it for themselves.
@@StamfordBridge I agree 100%. You can tell these guys love playing the music. Any musician would be honored to have other musicians carry on their music. Geddy, Alex, and the late Neil Peart would have no issue with this.
I got to give these guys credit, they're doing a remarkable job. The singer reaching for all of Geddy's high notes that Ged was doing when he was in his mid-twenties is great.
Wow - These guys are phenomenal. Would love to see them. I'm in SoCal but have family in Ohio and Chicago. Will travel to see The Rush Tribute Project.
Damn! Wow. Just wow. You ca tell these guys have been fans for a long time and themselves excellent musicians. Best live Rush cover band I've ever seen.
As a lifelong musician and drummer, I have to say that these guys are the real deal. Sure, the guitarist needs some work but who doesn't? This is the only band I would pay to go and see live. The other tribute bands don't have this much collective talent and showmanship in one. Geddy and Alex would agree 200%. The drummer is spot on with the bassist on remarkable vocals. I'm amazed and glad to have them pop up on my youtube.
Ya. Just discovered these fellas. I will say that there's a group called YYNOT, who do some real great covers of Rush. They have a young woman vocalist, who really nails the Geddy tone effortlessly. That said, these guys are very impressive, particularly the bassist who has an amazing vocal range and great chops.
When I was a young kid in high school we would go see all the cover bands in the area because that was a way to express our love for the bands that were writing those incredible songs, but no one covered Rush and I always thought is just to difficult to do so….And a shout out to the local place we would go in Norco La. “The Pink Potato”.…it was cover heaven 1973-1977 Zebra, Image, Blackbone, Paper Steamboat, Star, Pot Liquor comes to mind….Thanks to these guys keep it up
Super job guys. The guitar tone is spot on!! Great leads! Drums and bass are exactly why I listened to the whole piece! Your a tight Trio! Neil and Geddy would be proud!
That makes no sense. it’s just taken from the studio album, so how would that determine the quality of the cover band? Anyone else can use the same recording.
I have been a Rush fan since the beginning and I have seen alot of cover bands and all of them are good, but you guys have reached another level. I can close my eyes and its Rush. Awsome job guys!!
Saw these guys at Rosemont Illinois 2 years ago. Absolutely fantastic. If you closed your eyes from the start, you'd have a hard time believing it wasn't Geddy Lee on vocals. Drummer did a mean Neil Peart imitation also. As an aging boomer, guys like like this band keep a connection to a time of great rock bands and great rock musicians. Please keep it up.
Nice! Geddy would be proud of his brother Ginger Lee! Love the bass pedals and effects set up! Cool! I’ll bet the boys have checked it out! You have assumed control!
@@juancarlosgonzalez2537 He did sound better than Ged on the high parts. I saw Ged on their last (3) tours. His voice is not what it was. And he had to sing in a lower key on some songs.
As i say to myself...still to early for me to see a Rush cover band, it has been coming up in my feed a lot, so I give in and click, all i can say is WOW!!! Well Done Gents, Well Done.
Any 3 pc band that can sound like a 5 or 6 pc band is to be commended. Rush were the masters at this and their layering of sounds and doing multiple things at once. True musicianship
This has got to be the best Rush tribute band I ever heard. Rush is hard enough as it is but to play it note for note and drumlick for drumlick is incredible. The dedicated and rehearsal time is incredible has well. Great musicianship.
the Lead is a good Geddy, as in the old Geddy, but if I was him I would Bring the Highs Down if he wants to have a Long Career doing this!!! the Real Geddy did, save your voice!! you are very good and very close to the 70s Version....
That's not necessarily 100 percent true. Halford still hits the high notes. Glenn Hughes peaked vocally in his 50s as far as hitting high notes ( mostly because he was coked up from mid 20s until he was 40). Bruce Dickenson is another great example. Dio didn't really dial it back much even in his 60s. Some guys did a better job of caring for their pipes than guys like Ian Gillan or Robert Plant did. Burke Shelly seemed to naturally lose an octave or so. Everybody is different.
@@gardnerberry113 I saw Judas Priest open for Black Sabbath at OzzFest 2006. The audience that night was huge and relatively young (I was 25 at the time, but was well versed In Priest as I was Sabbath). The crowd initially seemed disinterested as the opening notes to The Hellion were played, even as Halford rolled out on his motorcycle. Then he hit several high notes in Electric Eye, Hell Bent for Leather, Some Heads are Gonna Roll and several others.... I never saw more jaws hit the ground or a concert crowd change disposition so rapidly. By the end of the set, Priest got a strong 2 minute ovation from the audience before the first idiots started an Ozzy, Ozzy chant. Fortunately a huge storm cloud rolled overhead as Sabbath took the stage. Wind gusting, thunder and lightning crashing all around, a quick burst of rain came from the huge ominous cloud right as Iommi played the opening chords of Black Sabbath. Coolest atmosphere of concert events I ever witnessed, and I've seen Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Motorhead, Dio, Iron Maiden, GWAR, Slayer, Ozzy, Heaven and Hell, Megadeth, hell I even saw BB King live.
Wow... I can't believe there isn't WAY more publicity around these guys.... I've seen much worse RUSH tribute bands with 10K+ hits... get yourselves some new public affairs manager, peeps - AND WELL DONE!!!!
ROFL - Rush, even at the height of their popularity were never mainstream, so I doubt a Rush cover band will get a load of hits - and I'm a Rush fan of 40 years !!
@@dominiccrimmings6925 Uh, yes and no. Permanent Waves boasted a couple of big hits, plus Tom Sawyer, Working Man, Fly by Night, Subdivisions, Early Distant Warning, Roll the Bones, Stick it Out, plus stuff 0ff of their last few albums. They weren't pop or mainstream in a literal sense, but they always managed to sprinkle in a hook laden, accessible song or two in with the more eccentric, unconventional fodder that represents the majority of their archives. This is true of most commercially successful prog rock bands. Floyd, Yes, Rush, ELP, you get the idea.
@Insiktsfull The absolutely awful grammar, spelling and composition of this article just makes a nonsense of your non-argument. This article is absolute garbage. Just out of curiosity, why have you changed your surname so many times? Avoiding something perhaps? No self-respecting Rush fan will do anything except at laugh at how ludicrous an article this is.
It's amazing the guy is hitting those notes, and the song is still in B. I knew a guy who could get up there on Rush songs, but he lost that top range by the time he was 24.
Pack your truck and head to huge crowd of RUSH fans here in the Hudson Valley, NY. The Chance, Poughkeepsie, Daryl's House, Pawling and Palaia Vineyards on their outdoor stage in Highland Mills. Alert me! #wpdh
Alex Van Halen can play and sing like Geddy Lee?? Guitars sounded great, I've been to alot of rush concerts and sometimes the mix was too muddy, great job guys!
Damn, he DOES look a little like Alex Van Halen now that you mention it... that would be too much if come to find out he also plays drums in a Van Halen tribute
That's what I told a buddy. He has practiced to studio Rush and nails it, high notes and all. They sound like a studio album and that is cool, Rush are kings of studio use.
@@kriskat1521 king of studio use? You ever see them live? I can hardly tell the difference live or studio album. The best of all the bands I have ever seen live.
Guapo, yes I have seen the Tribute live, they are awesome. What I meant by Studio was RUSH was excellent at creating their studio sounds in a live performance. Some bands sound different live, RUSH did not and that was cool.
