Listen guys I don't want to get to long winded here but you two haven't even put your shoes on yet to start the trip down the rabbit hole. Rush is over 40 years of making music! Their two most acclaimed albums "2112" and Moving Pictures" you haven't listened to anything off of those two albums yet with the exception of "Tom Sawyer" off of " Moving Pictures". Try not to put these 3 exceptional musicians on the back burners, dig alittle deeper guys you won't regret it. Love the channel, totally support you guy's, peace out! 👍🇺🇸🔥🎸😎

      @@kathyfarrow309 TOTALLY get what you’re saying but can I just say, I was HOOKED after the first song. With RUSH I’ve always felt that (typically- not always) a person either “gets” them or they don’t.. and it’s usually pretty quickly. I really have never come across a mediocre RUSH fan. BUT, I did see 1 person who didn’t DISLIKE them at first, but took some growing into - to acquire their taste for them. But, those have just been My experiences.
      And by the way, I heard all the early digs at Geddy’s voice.. the Donald Duck on helium etc. , but I just dismissed them and as a matter of fact, I’ve been IMMENSELY impressed with how beautifully his voice has matured and mellowed. It’s really wonderful. SO sad they’ll never play as the threesome ever again. I know things can’t last forever but he and Alex are STILL to this day extremely quick and capable- SOO seasoned and I just hate the thought of ALL that talent lying dormant. I don’t know if you had a chance to catch any of Taylor Hawkins’ tribute concerts but RUSH made a guest appearance and tore it up as expected. They had a couple fill-in drummers of course and Dave Grohl was one of them. I’m sure you probably saw it. C’est la vie though. It’s just the way it has to be. At least we have all their recorded music to live on forever.❤️‍🔥

    This is a great song from Rush, I do love Geddy Lee's voice! The band formed in Toronto, in 1968 and what a fantastic sound from this so talented three-man group!! I believe it was the original drummer who played on this song not Neil Peart. He joined the band in 1974, a few months after the release of their debut album. I love listening to your discussions, guys, we all pick up different elements from songs, different points of view, that's what it's all about and that's what makes reactions so interesting! Thanks so much for reacting to this fabulous Rush song. By the way, I've watched your reaction to the Neil Peart Drum Solo Live in Frankfurt quite a few times, I just love it, both the video and your reaction! Take care now, guys and all the best.😊👍

    @lindaward5376 2 года назад +4

    Working Man was the song that broke Rush's career wide open. It all started when Donna Halper, former music director for radio station WMMS in Cleveland, brought in a copy of their debut album, and put it on while she went for a bathroom break; Cleveland was mainly a factory town in the 1970s, so the lyrics instantly resonated with the listeners, and then they caught the attention of Mercury Records, who signed them to their first record deal. As mentioned above, the Cleveland performance from their Time Machine Tour is pure fire; for Limelight, which is my favourite Rush song and features more of Alex's best guitar work, I recommend the official music video, which was filmed right in the recording studio; and for another hidden gem on the flipside of 2112, I recommend A Passage To Bangkok. Cheers from Canada!! 🇨🇦

      @@squaaaaak3178 yep. I like all kinds but I don't consider it showing off any more than I consider Iomi or Page showing off within the contexts of most of the BS and LZ recordings. There are a lot of people, including schooled and professional musicians who aren't adrenaline junkies and aren't into high octane rock which is what this lead section is.
      I thought it was heavily influenced by the Iron Man solo the first time I heard it and I also consider that solo to be one of the best (given the point in time it came out).
      In this realm of soloing, I prefer Michael Shenker's solo work on Strangers In The Night.
      Alex's solo on Analog Kid is also one of my favorites. I like it how it moves on down the road.
      But I like everything he does with the guitar.
      And I also don't care that much about what the artists say about their own music. They are like the rest of us. Their memories and their views change. There are a lot of artists who didn't even want to record or thought some of the greatest hits ever made were trash in the studio. The artists are not the judges of their own work. Doesn't really matter if they like it or not. lol

Nobody heard of them and thought I was making them up. Oh Tom Rush you're thinking of, Mahogany Rush, NO!. Anyways my neighbor down the street had this album, Fly By Night, and Caress of Steel. Shortly after that it seems Phoenix caught on. It's no wonder they have a cult like following.

But I would argue the member you should be freaking out over is "Uncle Alex" (Lifeson) on the guitar! My God what fast yet fluid playing! ANd of course Geddy on the bass and with the vocals. This song loosely reminds me, in its structure, drama, and overall kick-assness, of Zeppelin's "Dazed & Confused."

    Great reaction. This is a great song and it was the song that really got their career going. This is their first song that got substantial radio play and got radio play in the states. The drummer on this first studio album was John Rutsey. John was a good solid bluesy rock drummer however due to health problems he was replaced in 1974 for the tour of this album. Neil Peart only had like two or three weeks to learn all of the songs and practice with Geddy and Alex before the tour started. Now that you have heard the original studio version of this song you should really react to the live in Cleveland version with Neil it is amazing.

    John Rutsey, not Neal Peart.
    I know. Drums was an embarrassment of riches for Rush.

    There was nothing wrong with John Rutsey as a drummer. He was phenomenal.
    But unfortunately his replacement was Neil Peart.!!!
    It's like Kobe Bryant being followed by Michael Jordan. Lol

    A good song, but not one of my Rush favorites. They have so many great ones.

    You can't be serious. The drums are pedestrian at best on this song, and of course is not Neil Peart. The music is very derivative, although future greatness can be predicted.
