my favorite Rush story is that they put the rotisserie chickens in the back of the stage cuz the crew thought it would be funny to finally be able to say that there were chicks on the stage because it isn't known joke that Rush do not have a lot of female fans. LOL personally, I always loved that I never had a line for the bathroom. LOL
Picture this, Neil walks into a drums and percussion store Employee: What are you looking for today? Neil: I was looking to see if I could buy everything in the store? Employee: Sure, but, it’s gonna be a lot of money. Neil: It’s fine, just give me everything. Lol
Pretty sure I recommended it a good while back, I usually do when someone picks out Geddy's bass during another reaction. Thing I love about Rush is that they'll never tread on each other's toes, when they find a hook they respect it and do enough to support it. In this case it was Geddy's (I thought similar with Marathon). As is natural with Rush songwriting though, there is always some interplay so they all get their time to be in focus, but they never overplay these parts. This track I believe is about the 'mating dance' with Geddy playing the persistent male of whatever species and Alex being the slow to warm female. Dunno Neil's role though (a David Attenborough-esque narrative perhaps!)
The masters at it again......but this time Geddy has a base solo. They don’t have to leave “that thing alone” because every time they touch that thing something magical happens! Watch the follow up with “where is my thing”. ruclips.net/video/AKIc20Liw3c/видео.html
Excellent choice! This track does not get enough notice and the same goes for the whole album, Counterparts. I love the opening track, Animate. How many drums? Exactly the right amount. The platform spins around so Neil can play a different combination and still face the audience.
Sweet reaction, mate!. You remind me of myself back then in the early eighties when i first discovered and listened to Rush stuff. Great reaction as always. Good job.
Even though that was from one of my favorite Rush albums (Counterparts) my favorite instrumental is "Where's My Thing?" from Roll The Bones ruclips.net/video/ZyyYzddxxVY/видео.html Not a wrong note or beat anywhere in that piece
I wonder if Geddy has ever broken a bass string onstage...that was the dirtiest, nastiest bass attack I have seen in awhile. His hands and fingers have got to Nothing but calluses.,
They didn’t perform Where’s My Thing on this (Time Machine Tour) tour, that was the Clockwork Angels tour, and yes he has to react to it, lol. The drum solo in that video is just incredible. ruclips.net/video/AKIc20Liw3c/видео.html I’m guessing this is the one you’re talking about?
Neil said in one of his books that he believes this is their best instrumental which is saying a lot considering YYZ & La Villa. I guess it is a matter of preference & opinion but I will say that I could put this song on repeat and listen to it all day and never get tired of it. The bass groove is just infectious!! One of their later day masterpieces that does not get enough credit. You could say that about a lot of their later material however. Everyone always talks about the classic 70's prog era, but some of their later stuff is just brilliant! Clockwork Angels is a great example (#3 on my list of RUSH albums) just check out the live version of Carnies, Caravan, or BU2B. RUSH IS music for the soul!!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
I was working in college radio when Counterparts came out and so badly wanted to get this track some airplay. I was told it wasn’t our format. Soooo...I used it as my music bed for our news breaks. It may have ‘accidentally’ been potted up a little high, while those news breaks ran a little long. Sadly, I could never get away with longer than a minute or so....
Leave That Thing Alone (Counterparts, 1993) is the follow-up instrumental to Where's My Thing? (Roll the Bones, 1991). Gotta love the "Thing" instrumentals!
Yay! I just tweeted you as well! lol! Colorado Avalanche 2-1 up at the moment against Dallas as well! Go Avs Go!!! (This is Rush, gotta get some ice hockey in right? 😁)
How about trying one of their later instrumentals off of Snakes & Arrows - "Main Monkey Business" - ruclips.net/video/mGf9JcSXvCc/видео.html I'd say they all play equal roles in that song! :) But make sure you pay close attention to the level of dedication and work Alex puts into playing it!
Is good instrumental by the band and I can see something standing in the back of your room and yeah that you play something would be great to hear from you
Gotta check out studio version of Freewill by Rush. Instrumental interlude will reconfigure the synapses of the brain. Geddy on base will make you think the impossible is possible!
One Little Vicory from Rio, The Analog Kid from Different Stages, Dreamline, Marathon from A Show Of Hands would be my top picks for you next. Love the vids so far!
There are only two bands that (almost?) changed my life, and that's Rush and Babymetal. My all time favs. And btw he has two drumsets: one "normal" and one electronic behind him, so when the whole set turns around, he changes to the other set. That's why this drumset can turn around. R.I.P. Professor - your lyrics and drumming will be missed forever! And again one of Geddy's awesome "ripping" bass-solos and the guitar work Alex is providing in the background is just "mmmmmmh". Nice reaction Detrucci, as always.
Rush have that Canadian sense of humour, really weird and unexpected things. Geddy (Gary actually except to his grandma, who pronounced it Geddy and it stuck) found he didn't need big amplifiers on stage because the monster P.A. they used made them unnecessary, so he brought banks of chicken rotisseries (complete with cooking chickens) for one tour and then banks of clothes dryers complete with drying clothes, for another tour. Best smelling concerts ever :)
This band is incredible! I love this band! Amazing live! I've seen them twice! 3 amazing musicians. Here they are pushing 60 years old and still bad ass! Geddy is a beast on the bass!
Ah, nuts, I always get them mixed up... I thought it was "Where's my thing?". Don't get me wrong, this was amazing too :) But if you like this, you really need to see the Time machine tour performance of "Where's my thing?"
Oh my God I love this song so much I have to keep going in college I had to find vo music so I use this track as the bed for my vocals and everyone in the class was jealous and they're like where did you get that and I said it's Rush baby!!!
"That is the equivalent of a bass mic drop" Perfect description LOL. Saw that tour in West Palm Beach and I think he went even more bonkers at the end.
"Trolls" gatecrashed YYZ during the 2013 tour. I didn't even remember that, saw it on someone else's video! lol! (Neil, Alex and Ged dressed up as trolls for the hilarious starting video for the Clockwork Angels tour!)
Was watching a RUclips video of YYZ from the gig in Birmingham I attended in 2013 and apparently people dressed as the trolls like Alex, Ged and Neil were for the intro video (or half way through video, I can't remember!) "gatecrashed" the stage. I have absolutely no memory of that! lol!
zimmyfan617 Saw that tour in July at Riverbend in Cincinnati. Awesome show. Took my oldest son for his first, and sadly last of course, Rush experience.

Drum salesman: What kind of kit are looking for?
Neil: I’ll take ‘em all......and have them gold plated
How many drums does Neil have? Answer: All of them
Thays a good answer
Picture this, Neil walks into a drums and percussion store
Employee: What are you looking for today?
Neil: I was looking to see if I could buy everything in the store?
Employee: Sure, but, it’s gonna be a lot of money.

I always read my comments, even if I don't always have time to respond Jack 😊 thank you for requesting

BOW DOWN TO THE KINGS!
THE HOLY TRINITY...
GREEDY, ALEX AND THE PROFESSOR NEIL...
Just sheer epicness from Neil, Geddy & Alex! Legends! ❤
Excellent choice! This track does not get enough notice and the same goes for the whole album, Counterparts. I love the opening track, Animate.

We definitely noticing it on this channel :D
@@Detrucci React to Animate from this Album (Counterparts). A masterpiece.
Sweet reaction, mate!. You remind me of myself back then in the early eighties when i first discovered and listened to Rush stuff. Great reaction as always. Good job.
RUSH IS BRILLIANT!
GREAT REACTION AS ALWAYS
MY FRIEND!
💥💯🖤🎼🤘
RIP Neil Peart
You will know when they invent time travel....The front row of every show ...ME!!...I'll give you a wave so you know
My favourite part is the guitar solo. Goosebumps!
Surprised you reacted, Detrucci - thought you were going to leave Leave That Thing Alone alone 😎
😎
Love this song. I can jam to this all the time. Thanks.
It's actually two sets, he will stand up and rotate while the entire drum set rotates the opposite direction. 🐒
Looking slim btw Detrucci! You working out?? 🤔🤔😂🤣💪💪👊
Correct :)
riiight ooon!

Nothing but calluses.,
His fingers probably rock solid by now
Where’s my thing live is even better......
Should have done version with peart solo in it.
try some more Rush Instrumentals:
Talk about Peart, Talk about Lifeson, Geddy is one of the best bass players ever! Go ahead. Show me a better Bassist. You can't. R.I.P. Peart.
Try the main monkey business live great back vids too
Far cry.... one little victory... a few of the newer. Stuff
How many drums does Neil have? Answer: Just enough
Alllllllll the drums
please react to
rush-roll the bones
Check out Red Sector A by Rush its about the holocaust
Try a change of pace, listen to the real History of Rush part 2 from Time Machine.
Epic instrumental from "Counterparts". For god sake, check out "Where´s My Thing? from "Time Machine Tour". Epic performance with a surprise!
clockwork tour*

Caravan from this tour is fantastic.
I would say malignant narcissism is there too. It makes me feel like I’m on cocaine. Lol. So great

@@Blaze_Drumz we're still looking for part 3 then
@@14Maxmom Oops I forgot this is still my name lol.
One of my favorite instrumentals from RUSH. SO damn good!!! It's an epic studio version too! Watch how flawlessly Neil switches drumstick grip at 4:08
My favorite version is the Different Stages live version. But it's just such a good song it's always great.
@@HollowGolem Yup! And Broon's Bane!

You too Pete :) Nice to see you here

Never seen a reaction to Workin’ Them Angels. How about being the first .........?
Excellent!! So glad you liked it!!
Great!! Check out Where's My Thing? Another great instrumental.
Yay! I just tweeted you as well! lol! Colorado Avalanche 2-1 up at the moment against Dallas as well! Go Avs Go!!! (This is Rush, gotta get some ice hockey in right? 😁)
Love this song, immediate thumbs up
Thanks Doug 😊
Other bands must just cry when they listen to a Rush instrumental, knowing they’ll never create anything as amazing...🤷🏻♂️😛
If you love Rabbit holes, how about some Show don't Tell from Presto. It's got some more of that Geddy bass funk!
Love the poem you have written for this video in the description! 😁
A classic, I heard this when I was about... 10? 1993 when I first heard Counterparts.
Love your comment, Detrucci - we need some more washing machines and some more chickens.

Good suggestion. Personally I always preferred Malignant Narcissism.
Geddy is the best bud. They all are the best... no question...
Dude I love your enthusiasm. Man you make me smile. Keep it up!
Is good instrumental by the band and I can see something standing in the back of your room and yeah that you play something would be great to hear from you
I love that Geddy has RASH on his t shirt.
Gotta check out studio version of Freewill by Rush. Instrumental interlude will reconfigure the synapses of the brain. Geddy on base will make you think the impossible is possible!
Il add freewill to my rush reactions list 😁
One Little Vicory from Rio, The Analog Kid from Different Stages, Dreamline, Marathon from A Show Of Hands would be my top picks for you next. Love the vids so far!
Top reaction. Top instrumental. Top trio.
Geddy is the man
If you're serious about seeing how many drums Neil has then check out his drum solo, live in Frankfurt (R30 Tour).
There are only two bands that (almost?) changed my life, and that's Rush and Babymetal. My all time favs. And btw he has two drumsets: one "normal" and one electronic behind him, so when the whole set turns around, he changes to the other set. That's why this drumset can turn around.

This is a great tune and every live version is so full of fun energy.
Rush have that Canadian sense of humour, really weird and unexpected things. Geddy (Gary actually except to his grandma, who pronounced it Geddy and it stuck) found he didn't need big amplifiers on stage because the monster P.A. they used made them unnecessary, so he brought banks of chicken rotisseries (complete with cooking chickens) for one tour and then banks of clothes dryers complete with drying clothes, for another tour.

Don't worry 😉
Oh my God I love this song so much I have to keep going in college I had to find vo music so I use this track as the bed for my vocals and everyone in the class was jealous and they're like where did you get that and I said it's Rush baby!!!
"That is the equivalent of a bass mic drop" Perfect description LOL. Saw that tour in West Palm Beach and I think he went even more bonkers at the end.
I'd like to see a reaction to Rush's 1981 live performance of "Xanadu." You will not be disappointed.
Neil's drum setup on this tour: andrewolson.com/Neil_Peart/drums/drumkits/time_machine.htm
this final geddy solo is an absurd complexity!!! too much!
85pc drum kit 18 carrot gold also a day and a half to put it together and tune pretty wild ha
Destruction, in your defense, they do have a lot of long musical intros. Wasn’t it nice to have Geddy flex on the bass. Imaging if all Geddy
where's my thing? Main Monkey Business or malignant narcissism
Did you notice that Geddy Lee's shirt says RASH on it.
Yes I did 😁
@@Detrucci Lookup at RUclips 'rush rash' and checkout the videos that you find.
thanks - many emotions with your reacts
Mystic Rhythms. Underrated drum masterpiece.
ty man! i love this bass linee cant stop
He said Different Stages.
that's why it's called "Leave That Thing Alone"... it was Alex telling Geddy about his keyboard.
Yup 😁
Rush The Twilight Zone
The song is timeless!!!
Two drum kits.
Geddy is a legend.
Brother D u shaved my man 😆....lookin good pal. Keep on keepin on

@@Detrucci I like this live version from Exit...Stage Left. Cheers!

Definitely worthy of being there
Imagine if all Geddy did was concentrate on his bass playing.
