Underrated guitarist! For those who know rock guitar play, Alex is among the great innovators and improvisers in the business. As for the band, it os simple: they are among the greatest prog/rock bands to ever grace a stage. We shall not see their like again.
Like your good self I'm a drummer. Been playing since I was 8, I'm now 61 and can play many different genres. However, like a lot of drummers I can only wish I'd reached the same level of technical skill as Niel peart. Miss him, as does the rest of the music world. ✌❤🇬🇧
I was so lucky to see them on their last concert series in Atlanta. My wife who had only listened to them in passing, was awestruck. She kept poking me and saying are you watching the drummer. Go watch the southpark intro to Tom Sawyer. That first chord transported me out of my body.
Your favorite band’s favorite band. I remember when I got the dvd on the European release date, I started ugly crying tears of joy when I saw the crowd going nuts during YYZ.
The Foo Fighters inducted Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Taylor Hawkins was jumping up and Down like a kid being with his idols , And Yes Chad Smith the drummer for the Chili P is a huge fan of Neil and was a close friend
YYZ is the call sign for Toronto-Pearson International Airport. Alex Lifeson, the guitar player, is a pilot. One time they were in a plane and Alex was flying it. All controlled airports have a three letter call sign. Like LAX, ATL, JFK and so on. They transmit this call sign in morse code for transponders in airplanes to recognize. Neil heard this and he and Geddy thought it would be a neat idea for a song. The beginning is the musical representation for YYZ in morse code. Hence, the song became what it is and appeared on 1981's. Moving Pictures. It was played all over the radio, too.
Three musicians at the top of their game. I saw them 35 times in concert, never left one disappointed. Rush has been my favorite since 1981, and my three people. My thoughts are with you, I’m Type 2 diabetic, lots of on going issues due to high blood sugars. I’m going to a blander meal time regiment. Chicken, veggies. Only get fast food as a treat like it was back in the day.
Aw, you haven't seen a video yet with Alex having fun on stage. You will. 😉 YYZ is the indicator code for the Toronto International Airport The first part of the song is in Morse Code. Alex Lifeson (the guitarist is also a licensed pilot and was flying them back to Toronto and the code came on. It stuck with Neil and Geddy. Yes, Alex is a beast on guitar and has a chord named after him. There were 40,000 people at this concert. Other songs Xanadu from Exit Stage Left Natural Science from the Molson Amphitheatre Toronto Driven live in Rio. Glad you are feeling better ❤ Cheers
@@L33Reacts I don't believe you have done La Villa Strangiato yet. I checked your videos and I didn't see it. It is an instrumental about a series of nightmares that Alex Lifeson had. Alex has a lot of fun with this one live in Rio. Alex is actually the jokester of the group and you will see it here. Also is song is 🤯 Cheers
"The Weapon" live. Different kind of song but a cool video when they were in their prime. Granola won't get you healthy. You need to break the sugar/carb addiction we all have. Go carnivore. Even if u can't do it long term, it's a great elimination diet. It's so effective that some people adopt it as a lifestyle. (I have, for the most part). It's only food that comes from animals; beef, lamb, eggs, butter, dairy, fish, sea food, bacon and pure sea salt. Chicken is fine but it's too lean. Without the fat, I get hungry within 3 or 4 hours (like when I eat the standard American diet). I eat fatty ground beef everyday. Usually 1 pound of ground beef in the morning and same in the evening. Breakfast will be 3/4 pound of fatty ground beef topped with 3 or 4 eggs. If I'm not hungry in the morning, I'll fry the beef then add 5 or 6 eggs till cooked and take it to work, eat it when I'm hungry. Dinner will be 1 pound of fatty ground beef, 2 or 3 slices of SUGAR FREE bacon and cheddar cheese. Sometimes I'll eat salmon as a side dish and I snack on Sardines in water and plain, sugar free yogurt. I realize it sounds boring or restrictive but is it more restrictive than a lifetime of obesity, diabetes, insulin and statins? Feeling like crap everyday, all day? Coronary heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, altzheimers and cancer have tripled since 1970 and it's because of sugar and UNSATURATED fat from vegetable oils (seed oils). The saturated fat in animal products has all the essential nutrients along with the best protein and it makes things taste good without using sugar. It also keeps you satiated for a very long time. You won't get hungry for many hours (carnivores typically eat 2 meals per day) and cravings for junk food will go down. Of course, rib eye steaks would also be ideal but they do cost more so I stick to FATTY ground beef. Watch some YT videos from the carnivore community. Plant free MD, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Paul Mason, "Low Carb Down Under" and so many more. If you want to avoid the costs associated with poor health, learn what this is about. These doctors and scientists are prescribing Rib Eye steaks for optimal health while our conventional doctors are putting us prescription medicines for the rest of our lives. I chose rib eyes (well, ground beef!).
Another Great reaction!! Consider Natural Science next, either the studio version which is one of my favorites, or the 1997 live version (Test for Echo tour in Toronto). Thanks again for reacting to my favorite band (a fan since 1976).
The rest of the Rock loving world came to appreciate the fan base in Rio after seeing that crowd. Still remarkable to this day. Btw, no one in Rush is “underrated.” Lol 🤘😎
You have got to react to Natural Science 1997 tour....the guitar is Mind blowing , all it takes is a good set of headphones and crank it up! You'll listen to it everyday of the rest of your life.
I don't think you've played it yet, but another instrumental video I think you will enjoy, is entitled: Rush - Where s My Thing?/ Here It Is! (drum solo) - Live in Dallas
Funny you should mention RHCP... Geddy Lee has mentioned Flea as one of his favorite bassists, and Flea's Hall of Fame induction interview started with... 'When are you going to put Rush in the Hall of Fame?' One of my all time favorite songs is Alanis Morissette's 'You Oughta Know', with Flea and Dave Navarro behind her. Fun reaction.
You'll get a lot of recommendations, but I would pick one more live one, Freewill from the Time Machine Tour (2011). The song was on 1980's Permanent Waves and they rock it in 2011. The studio version is awesome too, but the breakdown in the middle is madness and chaos. If you want to hear something 'heavy' by them, try Stick it Out or Headlong Flight (or even Driven). I don't know if you really realize it, but this rabbit hole is really really deep. 19 studio albums and very few 'misses'.
Check out “By-Tor and The Snow Dog” Live Exit Stage Left Tour for wild guitar playing! I’ve been a RUSH fan since 1974 when I saw them open for KISS. Alex is the best! I think one reason for Geddy’s bass sound is that in later years he just jacked into the venue’s PA system and that’s why you see the fun stuff he had behind him (washers, roasting chickens 🤣) as a joke going on about Alex’s stacks of amps! R.I.P. Neil ❤️
Actually, the crowds were larger in São Paulo, but it was in Rio where they planned to shoot the video over two nights. Technically, it wasn’t loud “in there” because this was an open air concert on the beach. Nor did either of the two nights in São Paulo even have the largest crowds before which Rush ever played. Their Brazil shows were only the largest in which Rush was the headliner. Back on July 30th, 2003 a crowd estimated at over 450,000 (of which I was one) watched Rush play a handful of songs in their home town of Toronto, but the two groups ahead of them on the bill were AC/DC and the Rolling Stones. It was a charity concert, organized in the wake of a deadly outbreak of a respiratory virus called SARS-COVID-1. That one came from China too. It was likely more deadly but more difficult to transmit, but it still shut down two of the world’s major cities (Toronto and Hong Kong). Anyway, the Stones had a long history with Toronto (which they used as the staging ground for most North American tours) and they had been touring with AC/DC at the time anyway, which is how they wound up headlining what became a day-long concert. Actually, there was one act wedged in between Rush and AC/DC: Justin Timberlake. The poor guy had to dodge many projectiles tossed at him from an increasingly rowdy crowd, so it got a little ugly. Mick later had Justin appear with the Stones to sing a song or two with them, with Keith Richards having once admonished some of the trouble makers who apparently resented Justin’s presence there. I should mention two more points here: 1. The nigh portion of the concert was led off by legendary Canadian rockers, Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman (who gave the world many hits as the Guess Whoo and BTO in the late sixties and seventies. 2. There’s a video of the concert. So, I’m going to recommend that you listen to Rush playing Spirit of Radio at the “Concert for Toronto.” Just enter those key words, as well as “SARS” and you’ll find lots of links to the performance. RUclipsr Stickhits has probably published an upscale version, so maybe add his name to your search terms too.
Check out jacobs ladder live in Toronto 2015…. Insane!!! Alex is regularly regarded as one of the most underrated… his solos take you on emotionally charged journeys every time! Geddy is just a freakin genius on base, some of his base lines are jaw dropping, an Neil, well he is Neil….
A journalist for Rolling Stone magazine was interviewing Eddie Van Halen and asked him how it felt to be the Best Guitarist in the world. His answer: “I don’t know. Go ask Alex Lifeson”
As some others have said... Neil Peart LIVE in Frankfurt! Your wow meter will start smoking. Also, if you could get your Rush Playlist going. I'd like to watch them all without hunting them up. 😊
R.I.P. Neil Peart, The Professor. Your just getting started with them, Neil is considered one of the all time great drummers. Watch the Neil Peart drum solo , live in Frankfurt. Tom Sawyer is one of their biggest and most known songs. 2112 is epic, an entire album side. Limelight, Closer to the Heart, and Trees. Just a few to keep you going, plenty more after that. 40 + years of music to explore.
For video songs, The Trees, Half the World, Headlong Flight, Mystic Rhythms, or really old, go back to Fly By Night. For only music, Freewill, Lakeside Park, Hemispheres, Ghost Rider and Anagram (For Mongo). Don't miss the instrumentals, The Main Monkey Business Where's My Thing and Malignant Narcissism,. Enjoy, So glad you found them and like what they accomplished. Saw them live, worked a show and have been a fan since 1980. Rush on!
I would say check out Freewill from their Permanent Waves album from 1980. You will hear how the Holy Triumvirate comes together after amazing solo(s) and Geddy’s amazing high notes after it. Its nice!
These guys will practice for a few months on their own before they get together and practice for another few months before they set out on tour. Natural Science, Freewill, Farewell to Kings, Limelight. Once you get past Moving Pictures, the music "changes." If you check out that era? Definitely pull up the lyrics because imo the songs become more lyrically driven. It's a big shift in their sound, and quite a few followers moved on from the band due to this change. Songs that I dig during this time. Subdivisions, Losing It, Time Stand Still, Mystic Rythms.
The guitarist, Alex Lifeson is the jokester of the group. And yes, he is the most underrated of the group. Geddy (bass) and Neil (Percussion) are in the top 5 if not #1 of most people's list of rock bassists and drummers. Alex gets the shaft quite too often.
The Red Hot Chillis, Dream Theater, even Metallica - none of these bands would be what they are without the influence of Rush. John Petrucci rates Alex as a major influence.
Rush is such a difficult band to recommend songs because there are so many. Heck it can be difficult to recommend albums with Rush even. Same as Zeppelin, just pick any song you haven't heard cause you just can't go wrong
By the way, just so you know, because they're Canadian, it's 'Why Why Zed" not "Why Why Zee". It's "Zee Zee Top" because they're American but it's "Why Why Zed" because Rush is Canadian.
You have no idea how deep this Rabbit Hole goes three guys that played together for 45 years and remain best friends never let the ego the fame in the money get in the way always kept her priorities straight and produce 19 albums not to mention the world tours over and over and over. So, I would like to suggest any of the following for you to review. Subdivisions Freewill Jacons Ladder Chain Lightning Dreamline Natural Science The Manhattan Project The Pass War Paint 2112 side 1 Entre Nous Circumstances The Camera Eye... That ought to get you started but there's a whole lot more
PLEASE RESIST THE URGE to do 2112, Cygnus X1book 1 or 2 just for now. My suggestion would be Digital Man then Natural Science. (Both Live in Holland) 2112 and the Cygnus (order if story video) EPIC. From Australia, Rush not heard of here. I THANKFULLY got turned into them at 14. 57 now and a tip from a RUSH freak since 1980. Focus on the bass when listening, you will hear the rest. If you stray, you miss soooo much. Finally, If you are listening to mixed music and RUSH is on the playlist, listen to them last, if not EVERYTHING after it just sounds shit. TRUST ME HAHA Main Monkey Business is a howler ( live in Holland)
My approach to healthy eating for successful weight management is completely different than that mentioned above. I've maintained a healthy body weight for the past 20 years on a whole-foods vegan diet, which excludes anything that comes from an animal, and almost all packaged foods which are loaded with added sugar, salt, and fat in order to make us crave more. Naturally occurring carbs found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes are the body's preferred source of energy, and when eaten as close as possible to their natural state, they come packaged with fiber and essential nutrients, which keeps you satiated for hours; and a well-planned, varied diet will ensure adequate protein intake from sources like beans, nuts, and whole soy foods, whose prices have remained relatively stable while prices of animal proteins like beef, poultry, and eggs have skyrocketed. If you set aside what social media influencers are pushing, and take a close look at what health professionals are recommending, you'll see that they mainly recommend that we move towards more of a plant-based diet to manage our weight and lower our risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. And you don't need to make the switch all at once - it took me six months; just start by going vegetarian for one meal per day, one day per week, or every day up until 6 PM, and you can look forward to a wide variety of tasty plant-based recipes, better health, and less of a strain on your pocketbook. While you're looking into that, if you'd like to see another "holy $#!t" performance, featuring some of Neil's best drumming, I recommend ByTor and the SnowDog/In The End/In The Mood/2112 Grand Finale from Exit Stage Left. Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥
@@wilksy2008 dude that would be awesome! I could really use it right now haha I can’t lie. My cash app is $LeeMann3011 . I’ll take it :) thank you so much bro

I saw Rush four times in my life and they were epic every. single. time!
There’s nothing like 40K+ crazy South American fans singing to a instrumental 😂🔥🤘🏻
I was there! Crazy South American fan present! 🙋
@@lucianaspitz4887 I envy you, I saw them 15 times but never a show as epic as the one you were at.
Brazil wins for best crowd hands down !"😂❤
One of the most underrated guitarist
Alex is underrated. Rocky George is criminally underrated.
I was so lucky to see them on their last concert series in Atlanta. My wife who had only listened to them in passing, was awestruck. She kept poking me and saying are you watching the drummer. Go watch the southpark intro to Tom Sawyer. That first chord transported me out of my body.
There will never be a more dynamic band than Rush!
I’m starting to believe bro! This is just insane.
@@L33Reacts I've seen them live over 50 times it's just unbelievable
Hell, they even have a grunge song.
Three musicians on stage playing actual instruments and this is the music you get. Classic.
Your favorite band’s favorite band.
I remember when I got the dvd on the European release date, I started ugly crying tears of joy when I saw the crowd going nuts during YYZ.
Alex isn't underrated. He's just overshadowed by his bandmates.
The Foo Fighters inducted Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Taylor Hawkins was jumping up and Down like a kid being with his idols , And Yes Chad Smith the drummer for the Chili P is a huge fan of Neil and was a close friend
About time that you, as a drummer, watch Neil's drum solo, Live in Frankfurt, Germany. As always, RIP to "The Professor".
YYZ is the call sign for Toronto-Pearson International Airport. Alex Lifeson, the guitar player, is a pilot. One time they were in a plane and Alex was flying it. All controlled airports have a three letter call sign. Like LAX, ATL, JFK and so on. They transmit this call sign in morse code for transponders in airplanes to recognize.

Hence, the song became what it is and appeared on 1981's. Moving Pictures. It was played all over the radio, too.
Or YY Zed, the triangle Neil plays in the beginning and the first part of the tune is the Morse Code beat for YY Zed.
Three musicians at the top of their game. I saw them 35 times in concert, never left one disappointed.
Rush has been my favorite since 1981, and my three people.
My thoughts are with you, I’m Type 2 diabetic, lots of on going issues due to high blood sugars.
I’m going to a blander meal time regiment. Chicken, veggies. Only get fast food as a treat like it was back in the day.
Almost every rock band in the 90's were huge Rush nerds growing up in the 70's and 80's and inspired by them.
I agree and have said for decades that the absolute greatness of Neil and Geddy somehow overshadows the greatness of Alex on guitar. Best band ever!
They all play so well together. Like they were destined to do this together. I love it.
Aw, you haven't seen a video yet with Alex having fun on stage. You will. 😉 YYZ is the indicator code for the Toronto International Airport
The first part of the song is in Morse Code.
Alex Lifeson (the guitarist is also a licensed pilot and was flying them back to Toronto and the code came on. It stuck with Neil and Geddy. Yes, Alex is a beast on guitar and has a chord named after him.
There were 40,000 people at this concert. Other songs
Xanadu from Exit Stage Left
Natural Science from the Molson Amphitheatre Toronto
Driven live in Rio.
Glad you are feeling better ❤
Cheers
Thank you so much Debbie! I will add these all to my list! These guys are so amazing🤘🤘
I have already done Xanadu from stage left! It was mind blowing! Lol
@@L33Reacts I wasn't sure. Natural Science from the Molson Amphitheatre Toronto is fabulous as well.
@@L33Reacts I don't believe you have done La Villa Strangiato yet. I checked your videos and I didn't see it. It is an instrumental about a series of nightmares that Alex Lifeson had. Alex has a lot of fun with this one live in Rio. Alex is actually the jokester of the group and you will see it here. Also is song is 🤯
Cheers
"The Weapon" live. Different kind of song but a cool video when they were in their prime.
Granola won't get you healthy. You need to break the sugar/carb addiction we all have.
Go carnivore.
Even if u can't do it long term, it's a great elimination diet. It's so effective that some people adopt it as a lifestyle. (I have, for the most part).
It's only food that comes from animals; beef, lamb, eggs, butter, dairy, fish, sea food, bacon and pure sea salt. Chicken is fine but it's too lean. Without the fat, I get hungry within 3 or 4 hours (like when I eat the standard American diet).
I eat fatty ground beef everyday. Usually 1 pound of ground beef in the morning and same in the evening.
Breakfast will be 3/4 pound of fatty ground beef topped with 3 or 4 eggs. If I'm not hungry in the morning, I'll fry the beef then add 5 or 6 eggs till cooked and take it to work, eat it when I'm hungry.
Dinner will be 1 pound of fatty ground beef, 2 or 3 slices of SUGAR FREE bacon and cheddar cheese.
Sometimes I'll eat salmon as a side dish and I snack on Sardines in water and plain, sugar free yogurt.
I realize it sounds boring or restrictive but is it more restrictive than a lifetime of obesity, diabetes, insulin and statins? Feeling like crap everyday, all day? Coronary heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, altzheimers and cancer have tripled since 1970 and it's because of sugar and UNSATURATED fat from vegetable oils (seed oils).
The saturated fat in animal products has all the essential nutrients along with the best protein and it makes things taste good without using sugar. It also keeps you satiated for a very long time. You won't get hungry for many hours (carnivores typically eat 2 meals per day) and cravings for junk food will go down.
Of course, rib eye steaks would also be ideal but they do cost more so I stick to FATTY ground beef.
Watch some YT videos from the carnivore community. Plant free MD, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Paul Mason, "Low Carb Down Under" and so many more. If you want to avoid the costs associated with poor health, learn what this is about. These doctors and scientists are prescribing Rib Eye steaks for optimal health while our conventional doctors are putting us prescription medicines for the rest of our lives.
I chose rib eyes (well, ground beef!).
"Animate my surroundings?" Funny you should say that, Rush has a banger of a tune called Animate on their Counter Parts record. 😊
Another Great reaction!! Consider Natural Science next, either the studio version which is one of my favorites, or the 1997 live version (Test for Echo tour in Toronto). Thanks again for reacting to my favorite band (a fan since 1976).
Natural Science is my favorite Rush song. You have to hear it live from "Different Stages"
Alex is one of the absolute all time great guitar players. But yes he is underrated, his name almost never gets mentioned
"I need an oh my god counter for RUSH videos. I really do. Cause I say it like every ten seconds." Thank you.
The rest of the Rock loving world came to appreciate the fan base in Rio after seeing that crowd. Still remarkable to this day. Btw, no one in Rush is “underrated.” Lol 🤘😎
If you want an entire world in a single song you have to listen to 2112
😄I predict at least 12 "OMGs'" when you react to "2112"!!😂
You have got to react to Natural Science 1997 tour....the guitar is Mind blowing , all it takes is a good set of headphones and crank it up! You'll listen to it everyday of the rest of your life.
Speaking of the RHCP, Chad Smith grew up with Neil as his drumming idol & he’s also close friends with Alex, the guitar player of RUSH.
The opening rhythm on the triangle is the Morse code for the letters, YYZ.
Phenomenal. Outstanding. Yep. That’s Rush. And many many many bands were influenced.
I was there and the concert was amazing ❤
Wow! I saw them 27 times, but never like this.
Well, I saw them in Porto Alegre in the same year. Was it 2002? Back in 2001 I was at Rock In Rio however. 1600 km by bus from Neu Hamburg to Rio.
Tbm. Foi demais!
Only at a Rush concert will you find a huge audience singing along to an INSTRUMENTAL.
Yes, songs to go to next are some more epics: 2112 (20-minute concept piece) and Natural Science (studio version)! Keep rocking!
I don't think you've played it yet, but another instrumental video I think you will enjoy, is entitled: Rush - Where s My Thing?/ Here It Is! (drum solo) - Live in Dallas
Funny you should mention RHCP... Geddy Lee has mentioned Flea as one of his favorite bassists, and Flea's Hall of Fame induction interview started with...

Rickenbacker Bass played by the bridge, Just like YES.. Chris Squire ☯️
The intro, if you're musically inclined, spells out YYZ in Morse code.
Excellent react❤ Natural Science next😅
Thank you Edgar! I will add it to the list, thank you 🙏🙏🤘
they on fire!
As some others have said... Neil Peart LIVE in Frankfurt! Your wow meter will start smoking. Also, if you could get your Rush Playlist going. I'd like to watch them all without hunting them up. 😊
Ive never seen a crowd hum an entire instrumental.
Rush's guitarist is Alex Lifeson
Alex has to be one of the most underrated guitarist. He's as much of rush as Geddy and Neil.
@L33Reacts it is curios that Alex is ignored in conversations about "greatest" guitarists. Each of these guys are the best on the instruments
R.I.P. Neil Peart, The Professor. Your just getting started with them, Neil is considered one of the all time great drummers. Watch the Neil Peart drum solo , live in Frankfurt.
Tom Sawyer is one of their biggest and most known songs. 2112 is epic, an entire album side. Limelight, Closer to the Heart, and Trees. Just a few to keep you going, plenty more after that. 40 + years of music to explore.
I concur - go with the view from above, it's clearer to see what he's doing IMO: ruclips.net/video/Tc2Pcfhj-Ew/видео.html
For video songs, The Trees, Half the World, Headlong Flight, Mystic Rhythms, or really old, go back to Fly By Night. For only music, Freewill, Lakeside Park, Hemispheres, Ghost Rider and Anagram (For Mongo). Don't miss the instrumentals, The Main Monkey Business Where's My Thing and Malignant Narcissism,. Enjoy, So glad you found them and like what they accomplished. Saw them live, worked a show and have been a fan since 1980. Rush on!
You are hooked now. I suggest listening w lyrics on. RUSH!!! (drum solo, live in Frankfurt is for you)
I am for sure hooked. I am a Rush head now. haha
Try Natural Science studio Version and get ready for a ride
I would say check out Freewill from their Permanent Waves album from 1980. You will hear how the Holy Triumvirate comes together after amazing solo(s) and Geddy’s amazing high notes after it. Its nice!
Great.Try La villa from the same show in Rio and be blown away...
Soo freakin Awesome every time I hear it !! 😎 Good Review !! L33 you like live -- do " Spirit of radio " live Toronto
These guys will practice for a few months on their own before they get together and practice for another few months before they set out on tour.

Subdivisions, Losing It, Time Stand Still, Mystic Rythms.
🤗 Sorry I'm late! 😉 Was with English Beat up at Daryl's House! 🥰 Lets Go! 🙄 Only Rush starts a song using Morse Code...... 😆😁🐰
The guitarist, Alex Lifeson is the jokester of the group. And yes, he is the most underrated of the group. Geddy (bass) and Neil (Percussion) are in the top 5 if not #1 of most people's list of rock bassists and drummers. Alex gets the shaft quite too often.
Animate? Yes, listen to the Rush track called “Animate” off of Counterparts album!
I will add it to the list! thank you
This was a popular Guitar Hero song
The Red Hot Chillis, Dream Theater, even Metallica - none of these bands would be what they are without the influence of Rush. John Petrucci rates Alex as a major influence.
YYZed!
Only in Rio do they sing along with the instrumentals!🙃
Listen to “The Trees” by Rush!!!
How he got that sound of the bass? Geddy hitting the strings as hard as possible using his fingernails.
As a drummer I am guessing you have seen Neil's drum solo? If no, check live from Frankfurt
One of many, just widely appreciated.
Rush is such a difficult band to recommend songs because there are so many. Heck it can be difficult to recommend albums with Rush even. Same as Zeppelin, just pick any song you haven't heard cause you just can't go wrong
By the way, just so you know, because they're Canadian, it's 'Why Why Zed" not "Why Why Zee". It's "Zee Zee Top" because they're American but it's "Why Why Zed" because Rush is Canadian.
Alex Lifeson is the MOST under rated guitarist ever, you could not hold your own with masters like Geddy and Neil unless you were a master yourself.
Check out Digital Man, drum cam.
Next 2112 or natural science!
You have no idea how deep this Rabbit Hole goes three guys that played together for 45 years and remain best friends never let the ego the fame in the money get in the way always kept her priorities straight and produce 19 albums not to mention the world tours over and over and over. So, I would like to suggest any of the following for you to review.
Subdivisions
Freewill
Jacons Ladder
Chain Lightning
Dreamline
Natural Science
The Manhattan Project
The Pass
War Paint
2112 side 1
Entre Nous
Circumstances
The Camera Eye...
That ought to get you started but there's a whole lot more
Who’d think three Canadians could bring The Funk?
The mix on this album wasn't great but the audience was so amazing.
Šelf no tiler petr Jonovy 😢
It's pronounced YY"ZED", not YY"ZEE". Respect the band and their origin!
PLEASE RESIST THE URGE to do 2112, Cygnus X1book 1 or 2 just for now.
My suggestion would be Digital Man then Natural Science. (Both Live in Holland) 2112 and the Cygnus (order if story video) EPIC.
From Australia, Rush not heard of here.
I THANKFULLY got turned into them at 14. 57 now and a tip from a RUSH freak since 1980.
Focus on the bass when listening, you will hear the rest. If you stray, you miss soooo much.
Finally, If you are listening to mixed music and RUSH is on the playlist, listen to them last, if not EVERYTHING after it just sounds shit.
TRUST ME
HAHA
Main Monkey Business is a howler ( live in Holland)
My approach to healthy eating for successful weight management is completely different than that mentioned above. I've maintained a healthy body weight for the past 20 years on a whole-foods vegan diet, which excludes anything that comes from an animal, and almost all packaged foods which are loaded with added sugar, salt, and fat in order to make us crave more. Naturally occurring carbs found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes are the body's preferred source of energy, and when eaten as close as possible to their natural state, they come packaged with fiber and essential nutrients, which keeps you satiated for hours; and a well-planned, varied diet will ensure adequate protein intake from sources like beans, nuts, and whole soy foods, whose prices have remained relatively stable while prices of animal proteins like beef, poultry, and eggs have skyrocketed. If you set aside what social media influencers are pushing, and take a close look at what health professionals are recommending, you'll see that they mainly recommend that we move towards more of a plant-based diet to manage our weight and lower our risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. And you don't need to make the switch all at once - it took me six months; just start by going vegetarian for one meal per day, one day per week, or every day up until 6 PM, and you can look forward to a wide variety of tasty plant-based recipes, better health, and less of a strain on your pocketbook. While you're looking into that, if you'd like to see another "holy $#!t" performance, featuring some of Neil's best drumming, I recommend ByTor and the SnowDog/In The End/In The Mood/2112 Grand Finale from Exit Stage Left. Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦

You need to do Rush’s song Natural Science live in Toronto 1997.

Selfnotiler
Alex Lifeson is not at all underrated, Gibson even created a special edition Les Paul guitar named after him.
Sorry it"s YYZ-ed Canadian Prog Rock Band!! AEEH!🤣
I don't know about Red Hot Chili Peppers, I don't hear a resemblance....
Rio is one of there least impressive performances. Not my favorite over all. React to R30 If you want to see Rush at their best.
this is the least impressive??? i cant imagine how good the other shows are then lol thank you, i will take a look!
@@L33Reacts R30 or exit stage left , show of hands ✋️ , for live performances start there.
Bro. Alex is such a bad ass he has musical notes named after him. I don't call that underrated. 😊
I feel bad for you not seeing them in concert!
