Rush has over 40 years of material for you to peruse. It’s all badass.
yes sir!!
Including "Tai Shan"‼️💯🤣🤣
I never understood the grief it gets. Even from dyed-in-the-wool Rushians
Peace☮️ and Rush On‼️🤘
LL&P🖖
Don't let the terrible rapping in 'roll the bones' ruin the rest of their catalogue .
Rush is the pinnacle of rock. No others even come close - for me.
I genuinely don't understand the people who don't put them at least in their top 5. Their career spanned 19 albums, several genres, amazing lyrics, spectacular music. They did prog, metal, pop, straightforward rock, alternative. And by all accounts were just generally amazing dudes. Their final album is one of their best. How many bands made up of 60-something dudes can say that?
I have yet to meet someone who's actually listened to Rush who doesn't absolutely love them.
@@HollowGolem Agreed. The only real rock band I would put ahead of them is Zeppelin just because they influenced Rush, even though they had a lot less material
@@evanboardman08 Yeah, I say top 5 because acts like Zep, Floyd, Beatles, and the Who deserve consideration as well. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a question of what order you put the artists in.
@@HollowGolem I've listened to hundreds of hours of Rush mostly because my mate is the type of guy who lives in different Rush t-shirts and hoodies. I rate all three of them among the best for each of their instruments. As a guitarist and a bass player, yeah, Geddy and Alex are up there. Neil is constantly referred to as the best. Some of their songs are genius. 2112 is incredible work and the fantasy story being analogous to the music industry and 2112 itself being a big fuck you to their record label... all awesome.
Some parts of Rush I really like. Some parts in some of their songs are incredible, be it groove, rocking out, ambient or whatever. But it's usually short lived sections. They live in the world of technical music, their constant time signature changes get in the way of it being enjoyable, Alex's guitar work can feel so out there and unnatural that whilst technically amazing isn't nice to actually listen to, the lyrics and delivery can be so cheesy, even cringy (even if the message and concept is really well delivered).
Again, I like Rush. But I very rarely listen to them of my own accord. Rush make songs you can really appreciate on your own with good speakers or headphones. But they don't make songs that cause people to dance, headbang, sing or light up any social event.
@@naycnay it sounds to me like you might enjoy their '80s and '90s material a little more, when they were less focused on technical musicianship and more focused on writing good songs. Have you heard "Territories," "Middletown Dreams," or "The Pass?"
Rush is just next level, musically, lyrically, everything about them is just better than the majority of band's ever. They make your brain light up. RIP Neil. You'll always be the best, and your words will live on and be discovered by every new generation.
"Mediocre" Rush is better than most band's "best", and "bad" Rush, is better than most band's "average".
Listen to Von, he's correct!
I didn't appreciate them when I was young. I was busy listening to Thin Lizzy.
shit i learned neil died from this post. wow. such a loss
Can't disagree.
"These lyrics could be used today" that's Rush. Inside and out its timeless, relevant, and poignant. God rest your soul Neil. Best lyricist ever to put pen to paper
Got kicked out of high school in 83. I was a punk; metal head New wave addict. Then, I discovered Rush. Life changing lyrics music and insight, not saying Rush shaped my life, but they did. Either you get it or you don't. Now a successful professional Chef, I do not conform or be cast out as when I was shunned by society as being progressive.
Rush is timeless - so many of their older songs are applicable to any period.
...unfortunately, I can't stand Geddy's singing.. If they only had a different singer (sigh).
@@stefan_becker maybe geddy's screetch would sound better if his vocal pitch was lowered into demon range like those annoying trunk bass cars you can hear miles away .
@@jowlorenz9555 That won't suffice. I mean somebody who can REALLY sing and is a front man for example Freddie Mercury, Paul Rodgers or Elvis Presley. Not a bass player that can also sing okayish.
@@stefan_becker he could've hired a keyboardist too --- but he didn't. It is what is is --- and still way better than your way --- get yer own music project . thank goodness geddy's screetchy voice scares away the superficially hip cooky-cutter crap eaters.
@@jowlorenz9555 ...which is a pity because they had one of the best rock drummers of all time and great songs. Too bad I can stand hearing them 😅
You guys nailed the meaning... this is why I love you guys, you get the deeper messages...
Rush: A band of the nerds, by the nerds, for the nerds, and a non metal band beloved by all head bangers. The constant that all bands are held to Master musicianship.
Talk about subdivision !
Thanks for saving me the typing. Perfect.
well stated
On point!
Spot on.
Rush is the perfect band for you two.
Lex gets to rock out to three extremely talented musicians,
and Brad gets to dive deep into the sophisticated lyrics of drummer Neil Peart.
Don't stop now... continue down this deep rabbit hole, and enjoy what we have known for years !!!
Exactly - clear lyric message for Brad and rockin’ vibes for Lex!
Hope they check out Dreamline, kid gloves, marathon, Grand designs, Countdown, oh and of course 2112and by tor and the snow dog
Lex: “I really really really like rush”
Every guy who likes rush: “marry me”.
🤣
Pretty much, lol. BUT wouldn't disrespect Brad like that ! .... maybe she's got a sister?
You forgot to include every guy who doesn't like Rush saying the same thing!
@@chriswood1054 I considered... asked my wife her thoughts about that even, she said Go for it! (She's been dying to pawn me off to someone else for years), but yeah, Lex's taken already and Brad's tops far as I'm concerned!
... So, I'll just have to keep writing Jennifer Aniston, least she writes back... well her lawyers do, pass me little lovin' messages - "Cease and Desist!", love when a lady plays hard to get. :)
@@centuryrox Hopefully she has a LOT of sisters ?
@@tommack9395 I've been there brother! ..."blah blah blah... stalking... blah blah restraining order..."
You can tell how good Lex is at lyric analysis, she immediately gets it. Smart af
I was a teen when this song was released. I was that "weird" kid. When I first heard it,I no longer felt alone. In fact,it gave me strength. I could just listen to the drum track alone! But Neil Peart's lyrics are second to none!
Same here!
In my high school yearbook I was voted least likely to be in the cafeteria. This was in 1984, the year I graduated. Most where there to goof off or chatter with friends. I was more comfortable in study hall reading by myself. I can identify with Neil's lyrics and with Neil himself. Subdivisions is one of my favorite Rush songs, and yes I was also the weird kid.😜
Same here, this song pretty much summed up my adolescence
I was a teenager then also. This song spoke to me. All their music did.
I was that kid too. I wish they had reacted to the actual video for the impact that had on some of us. I was the kid who went alone to the arcade to play tempest too
Neil Peart's drum work is absolutely insane. On EVERY song I've ever heard by Rush.
And a badass lyricist
And Easily The GOAT for Drummers/percussionists No one even close
especially on rivendell.
lyrically brilliant, musically excellent, emotionally available, ALWAYS RUSH
Everyone should take a look at the Rush "Time Stand Still" documentary....it's awesome!!
I have always found it unbelievable that 3 people can make music like that. It's amazing. They are legends
It was four people if you include different people
This song was created by three of the coolest geeks ever.
It was four people if you include different people
Drums in this one are at another level. Peart has many levels but listen close. Thanks you guy's.🇨🇦
Lex had a little difficulty tying into to Rush's time signature on this one.
Problem?
IMO, one of the best drum performances (non-solo) in recorded music. It's inspired and stunning. Just magnificent.
One of Neil’s best drumming compositions. I’ve never tired of it and when I used to play this song, it was always a challenge and a privilege to play.
Even if you don't care for all of their music, the lyrics can stand alone as pure poetry. Especially from this album and before.
your reaction, Lex, to this song brought tears to my eyes. i could feel your pain when you shouted out. god bless you both and thanks for reacting to one of my all time favorites
One of my favorite Rush songs. Very simple and hauntingly beautiful.
So many Rush songs deliver an intelligent, clearly articulated and clearly sung message that is just the kind of style Brad enjoys. Another words, more Rush!
I usually don't comment, but I felt compelled to tell you that I really appreciate the two of you; I've listened to quite a few reaction videos, couples as well, but with many I get the impression that they cater & mold their reactions to the most popular requests, and the songs that will bring them the most views/likes. With you two I see genuine intellectual interest & emotional passion in music. And you're funny too! A pleasure to listen to your videos!
If you want to confirm you notion that this song can be applied to high school, watch the official video. I have always thought that Rush was a band for people who didn't necessarily fit in with the cliques that they grew up with. Rush's music was always very "supportive" to me growing up. If I felt like I was feeling a particular way, for example, feeling isolated or lonely, Rush's music always kept me company. In some cases, such as this song's lyrics, Rush's songs were very empathetic in a way. Such a great band.
47, been listening to Rush my entire life. The greatest 3 man band ever to walk the Earth. There is no debate!
👏👏👏👏👏
Crosby, Stills and Nash or America
Instead if bringing the message with angst, frustration and anger, RUSH brings it as an understanding ally from the outside. A piece of hope through understanding from outside where there seems to be no understanding.
Great comment! That's Rush explained very succinctly.
Rush is “We know. We’ve been there. We made it through. We’ll help you through.”
Well said!
Pound for Pound this is the best band ever.
You may like Rush the most but if you truly believe they are better than Black Sabbath I'm glad I'm not you lol.
@@joshuamasserant8215 there's a reason I wrote "pound for pound"...
@@joshuamasserant8215 talent wise yeah Rush is a way better band than Black Sabbath. I love sabbath and there is no denying Sabbaths contribution to metal but theyre a bit over rated. Tony Iommi is an over rated guitarist but he got the shock factor cause no one had heard playing like that before. Having seen both bands live i'll always choose Rush
Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd would like to see you in their office and I love Rush
3 musicians with a total body weight of 300 pounds. Yeah, that sounds about right.
In the era of synth-pop, Rush created a progressive synth-rock masterpiece. 🔥
Drums on point, lyrics deep and reflective, driving bass line, guitars open space...RUSH
The keyboards made this very lush. It's still amazing 3 people can make all of this. Great lyrics always!
"This reminds me of friggin' High School." Funny thing about the official music video....
This is my favorite song of all time. But my favorite Rush Song to hear live was Distant Early Warning.
This song is so damn good. Lyrically and structurally in particular.
Neil Peart was not only a great drummer, but he could write very well too
He was extremely well-read. "THE PROFESSOR" R.I.P.
Perhaps one of the best poets that Canada has EVER produced.
Rush is just masterclass in songwriting and musicianship 🤘
🤘❤🇨🇦
Rush's drummer/lyricist Neil Peart said this song is "an exploration of the background from which all of us (and probably most of our audience) have sprung.'"
It's about the price difference between you and me
@@seltonk5136 🧐
Brad - the 80s you're hearing is really the shift from "guitar-driven" rock to "synthesizer-drum machine driven" sound. While Geddy Lee always used synths, they became more featured in Rush's sound.
During that time. Later on Alex and Neil pushed Geddy hard to get back to basics and give the synths a rest. Alex wanted to get back to a more guitar driven sound. But it all worked out over 40 years. RIP Professor, your lyrics reached a lot of us and let us know it's alright to be our own person.
Over forty years, They're still among my top 10, no 5, no make that 1 favorite bands!
if you listen to most of RUSH'S songs lyrics they fit for the present day.. timeless.. the thinking man's (and woman's) band.. thanks the the genius of Neil Peart.. RIP 🙏
Ya! No kidding but it’s gonna be a sad day if 2112 ever came to be the way… I guess I will find some caves to hide my guitars in, lol!!! Not gonna let those just be destroyed or buried🤔
@@michaellambert5223 yes, I was thinking of 2112 when I said MOST songs. 😁
The best band of all time ever!
I bet it kept a few from breaking.
Rush is so insanely good. Whenever you guys do a reaction to them, I re-visit my love for them. Thanks! If you do In the Garden, it will blow your mind. Lyrically, a masterpiece.
The drummer (Neal Peart) wrote the lyrics based on his High School experiences
Conform to what others like, seek comfort in suburbia vs following your passion / dreams and choosing your own path
"The future all provided..."
Before joining the band, Neil was Employee of the Month at his dad's car-parts dealership. If "2112" had failed, he'd have gone back there.
This album dropped when I was in HS and it hit like a ton of bricks. Big truths, plus this track has one of Alex's more out-there but still perfect solos.
Jr high here but yep. Rush is one of my all time favorite bands.
Yes!! Same here.
My first concert was Rush, when this album came out.
Dig into their tune, ROLL THE BONES.
This is the treasured catalog of the one and only, three MUSICIANS only RUSH!!!
I remember vividly seeing rows and rows of this album cover at the Licorice Pizza record store at the mall. I was about 13 years old and just becoming that teenager that goes to record stores a lot. So much more fun than hitting play on Spotify.
And the excitement of coming home with a new album or 45 and popping it on the turntable for the first time. Ah, those were the days!
CD release parties at midnight. Or waiting in line overnight for tickets
@@joemachine4714 Back when real fans could get good seats for an affordable price. Now it is all about the $$$ and set asides for VIP customers. I remember getting front row loge seats right near the stage for a Rush concert in the mid 1980s. No way a high school kid working a part time minimum wage job could afford those seats today. I think I paid about $40, maybe equivalent of $120 today. I had to scrimp and save, but it was doable and totally worth it! Those same seats today would go for $300-$400 easy.
Thinking Man's/Person's Rock. Very Intelligent Lyrics. Music Is Top Shelf.
Thank you for doing this song. This takes me back to high school for sure. Love you guys.
Please do the Who Love Reign O'er Me.
You'll love it I promise.
You got it Lex.
This song IS about high school. You should watch the official Subdivisions video. I grew up in the ‘80s, and I listened to this song a lot and still love it to this day.
LOVE how hard you guys pay attention to the lyrics. As a lifelong RUSH fan it's key to their music. Niel was an amazing lyricist.
It was 88 and I played this track on our local fm station in the south of Brazil, again and again. The audience ask for that every single night. She reacts like I did when I was younger. Truly amazing!
Brad, your chance to shine! In ancient societies the misfits were the the Shaman of the tribe.
Several songs with a lot of that you need to check out and this is only a start are closer to the heart, free will, nobody's hero, test for echo, Far Cry and the garden
Every Rush reaction should be immediately followed by a reaction to a live performance of the same song. As Rush fans in the 80s, hearing this for the first time was sublime ecstasy.
Rush is one of those bands who I hold in high regard, they did it their way while always being a class act, not a fan of everything they did but to me they're truly one of the greats! Rest in peace Neil Peart.
One of my favorite Rush songs, try checking out Manhattan Project by Rush next.
This band can do anything!
Y'all wanna hear them rap?
Listen to "Roll The Bones"
I absolutely love RUSH
Dude, spoilers. The best part of the reaction is when they don’t know it’s coming :)
My father has played drums now for 60 years (he's 71) and we always listened to Rush in the car when I was a kid. This was always my favorite Rush song, and it rarely gets the listens it should. I love when people get to experience something for the first time that has been meaningful to me for most of my life. Great video!
The greatest time keeper of all....and learned something new every time he played...Proud to have lived in the time of Rush.
The interesting message in this song for me is how, after being drawn to the rebellious excitement of the city, we all end up damaged and yearning for the comfort of the thing we grew up hating: the subdivision. And so the cycle perpetuates itself in our children and their children. Conformity --> rebellion ---> conformity.
"Somewhere out of a memory,
Of lighted streets on quiet nights"
So evocative!
This is perfect - and exactly my thoughts!
Great song from their album "Signals" Brings back some great old memories for this old man!
"History doesn't repeat itself...but it rhymes" Mark Twain
Lex was even more adorable than usual for this one.
Will give you credit for saying if you grew up in the 80's you would listen to them. Rush was called the thinking man's band and very little female audience. Girls in the 80s were "MOSTLY" listening to Duran Duran and groups like that.
I love RUSH. 80S Teen.
It was great to be a chick at their concerts, lines for the bathroom were never very long😉😄
@@justdone1068 I said mostly.... you are a great exception to the norm
I always loved Rush, maybe because I grew up with three older brothers!
@@slainteron4027 You did 😁 I was just Bragging 😉
When I first heard this band and then found out there was only three members and blew my mind that that much sound came from Three Guys
This is a song about growing up in the suburbs in the housing subdivisions. As a kid in high school you dreamed of breaking free from all the conformity. You run to the city to feel alive and go cruising in your car with your friends for the action to escape it. As you grow older you compromise and conform. You lose your race to the rats and get caught in ticking traps. And then you dream of those quite suburb streets that you tried to escape from as a kid. And yes, the misfit high school boy was listening to Rush and this song in the 80's. I lived it. lol.
Very insightful. Glad to see another generation appreciating Rush.
I think it's human nature to want to be accepted. So over time we have learned to punish people by casting them out if they don't do/act how we want them to.
Lol...every time I listen to this song, I just feel like some sort of salmon - swimming downstream to find the action and experience the world, but then returning to the quiet spawning grounds.
Here are three "different" Rush songs you can do. Natural Science, Losing It, and Nobody's Hero. I know Brad is really in to lyrics so he'd love these three.
Great choices, Dave! Losing It has always been one of my faves, and very overlooked. Natural Science is Rush at their proggish best, and Nobody’s Hero, like Losing It, displays their humanity.
I would recommend, The Trees. It's a very nice song about trees.
@@DanK3670 Oak-kay. Maple they'll take you up on it. (Sorry, please don't throw shade my way.)
Neil and EVH passing away in the same year gutted me to the core. I still have a hard time choking back the tears when I hear this song. This was and still is my anthem. Long live Rush and Van Halen.
Yessss ty. Me too. VH being my fave band and Rush in my Top 5. Neil was my fave drummer(sorry Alex Van Halen)
These 2 passing was just the worst ever. Eddie passed 3 days after the anniversary of my father's death in Oct 3, 2016. :( was dealing with that when I heard of EVH passing.
Lex, you nailed it! It's about teenage angst, trying to fit in while finding your own path during High School. For many, When this came out, I was in High School, so it had an impactful meaning for many of us (and even today) who grew up in Subdivision housing on the outskirts of metropolitan America. These circumstances likely occur elsewhere, and are part of the human condition. The word "Subdivisions" has multiple meanings and contexts. We're subdivided by ethnicity, gender, skill/education levels, Athleticism, appearance, style of clothing, family wealth, etcetera. On a positive note, Neal Peart, by pointing this out, provides an avenue of escape. From his personal perspective and experience, these factors will have little effect on individual self worth and potential when a person stops worrying over it and pursues their aspirations. Those people that were judgmental and prejudiced while growing up will become long gone and forgotten just a few years later. They never really had an influence on the outcome.
Other Rush songs where you should do the lyric video:
Red Sector A
Territories
The Pass
Analog Kid
Vital Signs
Also, you need to see Neil Peart's drum solo from Frankfurt.
The video really does the lyrics justice, it doesn't happen often. So good, maybe try limelight if you haven't already.
What a beautiful thing that these people can appreciate the musical talent of this 3 man band. Rush is the greatest band to have ever come about.
Imagine being halfway through high school in '82 and hearing this song....living in the suburbs of NJ with NYC a short ride away . Just starting to drive looking for something new....
Lex I’m falling more in love with you every day. Brad you have a great lady there, anyone who looks like her and likes Rush is a keeper for life!👍😂🔥🤘🏻🎧
You guys should react to…
Rush - La Villa Strangiato
🎸🤘
Except that they will be puzzled by the lyrics... 😉
“In a society that profits from your self doubt, liking yourself is a rebellious act.”
On the backside of 55 now, this song always and still does strike a chord. I remember hearing it for the first time, at the height of my youthful restlessness, absolutely connect to it. I wonder what my 16 year old self would make of this old version of me? The restless spirit still moves buried under a lifetime of actualities. Ramblings of an aging gen x'er, living a comfortable existince, always wondering if there is more.
Great song and it speaks the truth as much now as when they released it. They have amongst the best lyrics of anyone in their songs. You guys need to do the 2112 suite, it was one side of that album and is a stunning achievement in Rock History. Enjoy. 🎸
Try "Trees" from "Hemispheres" or, of you have 20 minutes, the entire "2112" to experience more of Neil Peart's lyrics.
I listened to The Trees while driving along the wall in the West Bank and it was one of the most powerful moments of my life.
This song describes my high school years perfectly.
Lex! You have no idea how right you are. High school! And life period. The message has been delivered and heard well.
This drum track rips
For the record, the "computer sounding/almost cheesy" sound was at that time cutting-edge innovation. It's of course old now that it's interpreted as "cheesy," but since the late 60's synthesizer technology was evolving rapidly and *very expensive* ...some of the keyboard synths back then, such as one Peter Gabriel used, were $80,000 *back then* ... so bands were *very* eager to try them, and everyone/fans were blown away by the sounds generated. Now, inexpensive software can generate it all and so much more.
You just can’t go wrong with Rush.
Subdivisions is a universal commentary about what we ALL experience in our formidable years.
You guys are heading down a deep rabbit-hole with Rush reactions! You should do all of Moving Pictures to start with, then maybe Permanent Waves, Hemispheres,...
The most important thing about listening to Rush is to have and READ the lyrics - they’ll BLOW. YOU. AWAY.
Lex totally got it AGAIN. Remember all those cliques back in high school? The Freaks, Jocks, Stoners, Nerds? Think Mean Girls. Conform to our clique or be cast out. Each clique was it's own little society. Amazing song. Glad you guys got to hear it.
*“Congrats to everyone who is early and who found this comment”🏆**
No, congrats to everyone who is early and found THIS comment. ;)
🏆 🥇
This song has always been my favorite from Rush. Came out when I was in junior high and I noticed the clicks I truly understood the meaning of this this song. RIP Neil Peart! Truly the best drummer in rock history.
The legacy of Rush in action: Great music and food for thought.
Neil "The Professor" Peart opening minds and hearts, in life and beyond.
This song and others on the Signals album were about late-adolescent frustration. Neil Peart described it as that feeling you have in your late teens when you're frustrated with where you are and what you're doing, and you have that feeling that anywhere and anything else feels like it would be better than where you are right now. So it's timeless and cross-generational in that way. Everyone who's been through those years knows that feeling.
Geddy Lee is a bassist and keyboardist without compare. I saw them in concert in Philadelphia in the early eighties, and they were unbelievably entertaining. All of that great music from three people. Great work guys!
Brad, if you do not spend your last breath trying to lift, honor, and protect that person to your left, your luck is wasted. I honor both of you for GETTING IT!
I'm so envious of people who are just now discovering Rush. The catalog is so deep and rich. You two have so much more great stuff to hear!
This song encapsulates growing up in the suburbs in the '80s so well. Being in between city life and the "vast unlit unknown" of the rural areas. Wanting to fit in but trying desperately to keep something of yourself.
Misfits were drawn to Rush. A great blend of musical bad-assery (if that's a word) and intellectuality. We all had a home with their music, and, in turn, we found some common ground.
Lyrics that stir the mind combined with superior musical talent = RUSH. Might I suggest a history lesson from them called Manhattan Project.
This song caught you up the same way it has caught up almost everyone who has listened to it. This is probably the song Rush fans connect to the most because it speaks to that alienation you felt when you were a teenager, especially if you didn't get invited to all the parties and get to a part of the "in" group.
Yeah. Rush was one of my go to bands all through junior high....they were creative, their songs were honest, they incorporated high fantasy into their lyrics. Then, in 1981, Moving Pictures came out and suddenly...SUDDENLY everyone "LOVED " Rush. And I looked at them all and thought..."you damned posers." lol. In my defense I was still just a kid. ;)
i was a metal head in HS But this song is the pinnacle for me in school alot of great times, and sad ones as well .Grad 1984
Timeless. Human nature, absolutely! Lex, your look today is PERFECT for a 1982 song, and I love it!
my favorite Rush song. I’m not one of the biggest Rush fan but I love a lot of what they did. so talented in every way
Signals album was 87… and yes the lyrics are timeless and high school still has that be cool or be cast out mentality… live it was 3 talented professionals on stage flawless in all their execution and had a love for humor … one tour they actually had Rotisserie chickens being cooked on stage to give to food shelters at the end of the show.
Of all the reactions you do, my favorites are always your RUSH reactions SPIRIT OF RADIO was Lex's best reaction ever and this one for SUBDIVISIONS was great too! Thanks for doing more RUSH! Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
