That’s only true when jazz musicians aren’t included in those lists. They are the pinnacle of the musical world. Go to any musical school and it’s modern jazz taught, not seventies rock.
I prefer Neil Peart over Buddy Rich anytime - Buddy's solo's sounded the same, there was no variety and they guy was coked a lot of the time and ill tempered, irritable and discontent. Neil was the highest example of a gentleman and didn't have a bad word to say about any of his peers.
The amazing thing about Rush is how they reinvented themselves from album to album with a totally different concept and sound. They could be the greatest rock band of all time, that's how good they are.
Back in the 70's my friends and I always had music on and Rush was frequently heard daily. They had great music and sounded big. But, the biggest reason was Geddy Lees bass playing. It was astonishing. We recorded the music on a reel to reel tape player and played and rewound over and over discussing the bass. While Alex is doing his solo Geddy is doing a great solo as well. Thanks for playing this great song!
It always shocks me when people hear Rush and DON'T comment on the sheer magnificence of Neil Peart...he's doing 1/16th notes on the high hat with his FOOT...all the while keeping tempo PERFECTLY for everyone else, AND improvising with little rifts at then end of certain measures. It's simply astounding, and borderline impossible to pull off without a level of skill that was, and still is, unmatched in the field. RIP Neil, for those of us that were listening, you were, and will always be, a GOD on the drums.
Progressive rock or "prog rock" started way before u were born! Late 60's/ early 70's was when Led Zeppelin started taking over the world... and then u got British bands that jammed and made intricate and complex pieces of music that required mad skills... Deep Purple being one of them. But the prog rock genre was typically bands that were not quite as popular... Bands like Genesis ( check out their early songs like - 'Watcher of the skies'... 'Firth of fifth') Yes (check out 'Roundabout'... 'Siberian Khatru') Uriah Heep ( check out 'Gypsy'... "Stealin' ") King Crimson ( check out '21st century schizoid man' ... 'Epitaph' )
I saw this band in Seattle for their '81 tour these guys were cornerstones of my youth. I also saw them in 1976 Roseburg Oregon during their 2112 tour....4 ever in my music heart
Progressive started in the late 6os and hit its peak in the mid 70s with King Crimson, Genesis, Yes and several others. Pink Floyd and Rush are sometimes in that genre amd sometimes out of it.
Hi Mille - Thanks for this and I enjoy watching/listening to your journey. I think stating three generally accepted "prog" bands from the 60's/'70's will help you get to where I see the genre coming from. King Crimson, Yes and Genesis are bands that will take you on trips like this and even more-so. Tom Sawyer is a kick-ass prog song, but Rush had a great talent for making complicated music relate to both musicians and regular fans. Some other prog music requires me to be in a certain frame of mind to enjoy the composition because it doesn't necessarily resonate emotionally. Also, you can't be a real Rush fan without investigating lyrical content. Neil Peart was a voracious reader with many stories throughout the bands' history pertaining to this primary life priority for him. He was also a prolific writer. I've read two of his books and my opinion is that he is really good at relating his personal thoughts to a reader. His lyrics deserve their own commentary in my opinion.
Greatest rock band ever. Monster musicians and incredible songwriters. 19 albums over 40 years and so many different styles. They dedicated their entire adult lives to this band. Just incredible focus and determination to be the best.
Neal Peart was one of the better contemporary drummers to ever play. Very mathematical powerful and precise in his approach Geddy Lee on bass/keys vocals is a major talent and Alex on the electric twanger is so good.
"Subdivisions" and "Tom Sawyer" by Rush were my anthems in 1983. Jammin' to the "Signals" album as I cruised world-famous Van Nuys Blvd in my hot-rod on a warm summer night. I wouldn't trade those memories for anything. P.S. Love your channel.
Millie, I have to say, watching you vibe on Rush brings me back to 1972 (I was 17). Rush played at my high school in Toronto. They set up cafeteria tables pushed together to make a stage. One girl mesmerized my friends and me as we watched her totally caught up and swinging her long hair around in circles to the beat. It was all magic then.
One of the deepest songs I’ve ever heard. Check out the meaning to this song. And those drums. Neil Pert is a genius. Listen to the circular nature he creates in this song.
Yes. The main part of the song gets transmuted after the guitar solo. I don't exactly know what it is but it seems like the drums flip to double time but upside down and backwards, while the rest of the parts carry on as before. Very strange and brilliant composition. Circular...yeah...maybe that's it.
One of the few rock guitar solos played completely in 7/4! Most music historians place the first "progressive rock" album as King Crimson's "In the Court of the Crimson King" from 1969 🙂
RUSH caught on in the middle of the progressive wave - Now early Genesis like Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974) , or Selling England by the Pound (1973). I do miss RUSH - what a band.
Three of the finest musicians AND persons ever on this planet (and the only band Babymetal couldn't overtake on my list...) Greets from Germany and PLEASE do em live!
You sing and play so I think you can really appreciate the talent from these guys. I've watched Geddy live singing, playing the synth and doing the bass line with his foot on pedals! Amazing stuff. .
Lead singer is also responsible for the bass guitar grooves. Lyrics are deep, as the entire band were prolific readers who challenged each other to read as many books as they could during their tours. Proudly Canadian 🇨🇦.
In my college days I was in a RUSH tribute band. There was only two songs that we never performed: 1) Limelight-out of respect. For fear that we might get something wrong. 2) Tom Sawyer-On the drums, I couldn't replicate the beat.
My favorite Rush song is probably one nobody's ever heard of. As a Canadian band, they did a cameo on a Canadian comedy song, called either Take Off, or The Great White North, which starred two guys from a show called SCTV. Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas played Bob and Doug McKenzie who talked smack and back bacon. Ah, memories. By the way, you aren't the first, nor will you be the last to trip out to this song, as for 70s progressive, there was a LOT. Pink Floyd, Styx, and this one is just a start.
“I wanna trip”. I love the sentiment. I was friends with Owsley Stanley for half our lives. I still miss Bear. His life is worth googling. People wrote songs about him such as Kid Charlemagne by Steely Dan and Alice D Millionaire by the Grateful Dead. Enjoy the trip.
I saw Rush in '78. They put on an unforgettable live show. They were double-billed with, of all bands, Ambrosia. Who was also amazing live. Provably the best concert I've ever seen.
As a bass player, you really should dig deep into Rush and Geddy Lee. He is an unusual player with his style but one of the best ever in rock. He actually has a book called the big book of bass or something like that. It’s massive and covers the history of the instrument and goes through his collection. Also, you need to go buy a Rickenbacker bass. Every bass player should at least play one once. Lol.
RUSH's 35 best songs 1) Vital Signs 2) The Fountain of Lamneth - mainly "Panacea" and "No one at the Bridge" 3) The Necromancer 4) Natural Science 5) Lakeside Park 6) Ghost of a Chance 7) Territories 😎 Xanadu 9) Tom Sawyer 10) In the End 11) Lessons 12) Bravado 13) Hemispheres 14) Tears 15) Time Stand Still 16) The Enemy Within (Fear) 17) A Passage to Bangkok - has got to be the live version ("Exit.... Stage Left" live album) 18) Mystic Rhythms 19) Cygnus X-1 20) Rivendell 21) Roll the Bones 22) Bastille Day 23) Making Memories 24) Before and After 25) Anthem 26) Circumstances 27) Different Strings 28) The Spirit of Radio 29) Subdivisions 30) Freewill 31) Limelight 32) Dreamline 33) Prime Mover 34) Red Barchetta 35) I think I'm going Bald
The progressive rock music style started around 1967-1970. Its golden age was from 1973 to 1979. But its still very popular among music lovers. Rush is a blend of progressive rock and Hard rock. If you want to learn more about progressive rock, i'll give you some band names : Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Gentle Giant, Supertramp, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Yes, Frank Zappa, etc...
The 70s was the hay-day of progressive rock (and several other genres). Yes, Kansas, Styx and others were cranking out great progressive rock back in the day. I'm glad I was there for it!
Neil Peart I'd one of the best drummers ever. His technical skill is simply astounding. There is a famous saying in the rock world, "Neil Peart is your favorite drummer's favorite drummer"
Wait, so you're thinking this song came out in the Led Zeppelin era? Lol. This song came out in 1981 from their Moving Pictures release, while Led Zeppeling was a 70's Blues Rock band/
The term Progressive has been used since the late sixties and early seventies. When I hear the term Progressive I think of bands like Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Pink Floyd.
In fact progressive rock dates back to the early 60's with pink Floyd, Genesis, King Crimson and the likes. Italian prog is also really early 60 with Banco del mutuoso surcoso etc. Good stuff
If you like Rush and want to hear more progressive rock from the late 1960's and early 1970's check out Yes. Roundabout is a great first listen. If you're feeling more adventurous with your introduction to Yes, try the song "Close to the Edge" on the album with the same name. For another trippy progressive Rush song and one of their all time fantastical best, try "Xanadu" (based on the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem) studio version from 1977's album A Farewell To Kings or their legendary live performance on 1981's Exit... Stage Left. if you've never heard Rush before they have 19 studio albums spanning 40 years an incredible discography to explore.
Progressive Rock started in the 70's with bands like Yes, Rush and Triumph. Oddly enough, Rush and Triumph are both from Canada and both are a 3 piece band.
Now that you've discovered the rabbit hole, you should dive deeper with "Spirit of Radio", "Red Barchetta", "YYZ" live in Rio, and Neil Peart's drum solo live in Frankfurt!
I love me some Millie, saw these guys back in the seventies, so you could say that progressive rock is coming back. Check out Emerson Lake and Palmer, another three man band that sounds like twelve, they were active around that time as well.
As always great reaction Millie!. Rush are truly rock legends. so much sound from just a trio and all three were virtuoso musicians. You need to continue this road with Working Man, YYZ and La Villa Strangiato. You will really love these choices.
Millie Mochi great reaction, you are cool, yeah Rush is one of the creators of prog rock- and so much more, check them out...try live Xanadu for something totally different but equally awesome...peace out, trip well
This is, by far, not even close to one of the best examples of Geddy’s ability to sing and shred bass at the same time. Because Tom Sawyer is a more keyboard centric song, Geddy spends more time on the synthesizers than the bass, except during the guitar solo. The way he is shredding the bass during the solo is the way he typically plays while singing. If you want to see crazy bass shredding while singing, check out The Big Money or Vital Signs. It’s seems almost impossible to play those bass licks and sing those melodies at the same time, but he does it effortlessly. Check out songs like Xanadu, especially the live version from the Exit Stage Left tour and you will really see the talent of this band. It is an epic piece about 12 minutes long and one of the their masterpieces. To see only three guys pull off that song live is awe inspiring. Some of their instrumentals are insane. La Villa Strangiato and YYZ are their most famous instrumentals. The live version of YYZ from their concert in Rio is amazing. The crowd is actually singing the melody to an instrumental, that’s how pumped they were for the song. I saw them first live in 1980 on the Permanent Waves tour and never missed a concert since, until they hung it up in 2015. They were amazing live. Geddy shredding bass while singing and playing the keyboard with his feet was a sight to behold. Rush made music for more than 40 years, so there is a lot of music to listen too. Progressive rock began in the 1960s with bands like King Crimson. Then in the 1970s more followed with Yes, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Jethro Tull, Genesis and ultimately Rush, the kings of progressive rock. I have never heard Zeppelin categorized as progressive, but I guess they do have a couple of songs that lean progressive. Many groups would make a song or two that could be called progressive, hell, even Alice Cooper, with his original band, made a progressive song called Halo Of Flies which is an awesome progressive song written by then guitarist Mike Bruce. Unfortunately, the band broke up soon after that because Bruce wanted to do more progressive and Alice wanted to go full theatrical glam rock, but with a very dark twist. He was the original Marilyn Manson. Without Alice, you’d have no Manson. Alice later hired illusionists like James Randi and David Copperfield to design magic tricks, like hanging himself and being decapitated by guillotine, it was a crazy time. So if you thought that groups like Cannibal Corpse and Slipknot were a new genre, you’d be wrong too.

When a drummer wants to perfect his timing he uses a metronome. When a metronome wants to perfect its timing it uses Neil Peart....
this wins the musical intarweb for the year
Ain't that the truth lol
A bit like how time plays too Danny Carey
@@jimparis5073 Danny Carey said that Neil Peart was his insperation.
RIP Neil🫡🙏🙌
All three musicians generally make the top 10 list for their various instruments, with Neil Peart being number 1 nearly all the time.
Geddy had a long run as best rock bassist back in the eighties. He is still GOAT to me
That’s only true when jazz musicians aren’t included in those lists. They are the pinnacle of the musical world. Go to any musical school and it’s modern jazz taught, not seventies rock.

One of the greatest rock bands ever, their talent is top tier. Remember wearing this cassette out cruising the weekends!!
Forget the cassette I still have this on vinyl.
When this came out there were both vinyl and cassette available. I have both btw. 😊
They dont call them the holy trinity for no reason! SO much talent
The amazing thing about Rush is how they reinvented themselves from album to album with a totally different concept and sound. They could be the greatest rock band of all time, that's how good they are.
Some people say they don't think getty Lee is a good vocalist. His voice is unique, and fit the music of Rush perfectly.
Some people are wrong. They may not like the pitch of Geddy's voice, but any voice teacher will tell you he's an excellent vocalist.
Dude "The Charismatic Voice" said the exact same thing and I agree.
He can sing with a more "normal" but then we wouldn't hear him as he chose that pitch so he could be heard through the music.
Can you imagine anyone else singing a Rush song???
@@ffjsb nope!
Back in the 70's my friends and I always had music on and Rush was frequently heard daily. They had great music and sounded big. But, the biggest reason was Geddy Lees bass playing.

That metronome adds depth and an intensity. The whole damn song is perfection. I wouldn't change a thing.
It's always fun to watch someone realize how good the music from the 80's actually was - I was there!!! I wish you could have seen the concerts!!!
A most powerful trio. Love your classic reactions. Millie is cool. Love the hair.
Definitely and thank you 💜
A testament to their skill is the fact this song switches time signatures from 4/4 to 7/8 basically unnoticed.
Yess❤❤their time changes are unreal😮😮😮❤❤i dont play drums but it sounds complicated😮😮

please make silence , there are young people learning high quality & amazing music at this very moment now

Back in 1981 this was new lol. Thanks for checking out this awesome band. Wait until you see a recorded live show.
Fun reaction! Try Yes Roundabout 1971 (a big influence on Rush) also vintage prog. Some might say, THE vintage prog.
Ha ha splendid reaction. I've listened to this 100s of times. It's great road music, drumming on the steering wheel.
Whoever your favorite drummer is, chances are Neil Peart is his favorite drummer.

You can't really tell from this video, but Geddy Lee (the Singer) plays keyboards, bass and foot keyboards while he sings. Awesome musician!
I saw them in 1982 in Philadelphia, PA USA when their Progressive Rock was OG and the best!
Rush: Spirit of Radio and Yes:Roundabout are two GREAT progressive songs that have OUTSTANDING bass lines on them.
I suggest Rush - Limelight (shot in the same studio while recording Moving Pictures) Thank you!

YES was an influence on RUSH - give some of their hits a listen for some of the origins of prog.
I thought as a musician you would give a more technical breakdown of Grtty's techniques.
You should listen to more of their hits. They are all awesome.
I suggest next should be King Crimson....the tune is In the Court of the... Crimson King...very prog Rock from 1969...
You can't react to KC unless you want to get a strike against your account.

As always great reaction Millie!. Rush are truly rock legends. so much sound from just a trio and all three were virtuoso musicians. You need to continue this road with Working Man, YYZ and La Villa Strangiato. You will really love these choices.
You should check out:
Opeth - ghost of predition (prog death metal)
Enslaved - Storm son (prog black metal)
Tool - the pot (prog metal)
Millie Mochi great reaction, you are cool, yeah Rush is one of the creators of prog rock- and so much more, check them out...try live Xanadu for something totally different but equally awesome...peace out, trip well
OLD IS GOLD!

Rush and Kansas carried me through dark and not so dark times.
In 2022 Geddy Lee plays carriage driver Thomas Sawyer, in Murdoch Mysteries S15E18 "Devil Music".
Other prog bands you might take a gander at, Gentle Giant, Caravan, Gong, Van Der Graff Generator, Soft Machine and Camel
Nutshell summary,.... your favorite musicians favorite musicians.
Progressive is definitely not new.😂😂😂

My favorite Rush song . . .
Rush was considered THE progressive rock band, but, they were really just elite masters of their craft. For 40 years!
This is, by far, not even close to one of the best examples of Geddy’s ability to sing and shred bass at the same time. Because Tom Sawyer is a more keyboard centric song, Geddy spends more time on the synthesizers than the bass, except during the guitar solo. The way he is shredding the bass during the solo is the way he typically plays while singing. If you want to see crazy bass shredding while singing, check out The Big Money or Vital Signs. It’s seems almost impossible to play those bass licks and sing those melodies at the same time, but he does it effortlessly.
Check out songs like Xanadu, especially the live version from the Exit Stage Left tour and you will really see the talent of this band. It is an epic piece about 12 minutes long and one of the their masterpieces. To see only three guys pull off that song live is awe inspiring. Some of their instrumentals are insane. La Villa Strangiato and YYZ are their most famous instrumentals. The live version of YYZ from their concert in Rio is amazing. The crowd is actually singing the melody to an instrumental, that’s how pumped they were for the song. I saw them first live in 1980 on the Permanent Waves tour and never missed a concert since, until they hung it up in 2015. They were amazing live. Geddy shredding bass while singing and playing the keyboard with his feet was a sight to behold.
Rush made music for more than 40 years, so there is a lot of music to listen too. Progressive rock began in the 1960s with bands like King Crimson. Then in the 1970s more followed with Yes, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Jethro Tull, Genesis and ultimately Rush, the kings of progressive rock. I have never heard Zeppelin categorized as progressive, but I guess they do have a couple of songs that lean progressive. Many groups would make a song or two that could be called progressive, hell, even Alice Cooper, with his original band, made a progressive song called Halo Of Flies which is an awesome progressive song written by then guitarist Mike Bruce.
Unfortunately, the band broke up soon after that because Bruce wanted to do more progressive and Alice wanted to go full theatrical glam rock, but with a very dark twist. He was the original Marilyn Manson. Without Alice, you’d have no Manson. Alice later hired illusionists like James Randi and David Copperfield to design magic tricks, like hanging himself and being decapitated by guillotine, it was a crazy time. So if you thought that groups like Cannibal Corpse and Slipknot were a new genre, you’d be wrong too.
