So many people hate this era of Rush but I love it, Power Windows and Hold Your Fire were 2 great albums
How could anyone dislike such beautiful music? Specially coming from people with such kind hearts. These guys are treasures! I am right there with you and I don't even know this era at all. Its amazing!
@@NicknLex I guess many just want those heavy guitar riffs, I get it. But the songwriting here is so strong, and they still rip through those complex bridges and changes, and the musicianship...stellar. Geddy sounds so good singing in his normal register instead of falsetto. If you haven't tried 90s stuff yet, some softer ballads there like Bravado feature a lot of great singing, less keyboards more guitar. Available Light is another interesting one, piano heavy ballad.
I agree, two of my favorite albums. Power Windows, and Hold Your Fire are definitely great albums.
They did then because folks struggle with change. Since then they have all largely come around.
One of the few modern era Rush albums I actually own. “Force Ten” is a good song. “Prime Mover” is cool. Later albums were not front to back great like their early stuff but still a lot of good music.
No can ever fault them for not going with the times, constantly adding complexity to their sound but staying true to themselves.
An album long avoided by reactors - so glad you guys are tearing into it!
Prime Mover is fantastic ✌🏻
I love all eras and styles Rush did over the years. This is one of the highlights of their synth era for me. The outro guitar solo is soaring and epic, and the lyrics are some of my favorite of Neil's.
The lyrics on this bring me to tears. Extremely powerful. And that guitar is just amazing.
@@mycroft16 And when you watch it live Alex finishes out the solo, Neil's drums vibrate out and Geddy ends it with a long solo keyboard tone ringing out. Gorgeous.
To me, Rush never put out a single bad song, ever. I thank Canada every day for letting Rush out to the rest of the world. My favorite band of all time. Thanks guys. Great job as always! RIP Mr. Neil Peart. Your drumming and lyrics will go on forever.
(cough) Tai Shan
The solo is not fade out on the live album A Show of Hands. Great song, great lyrics, great guitar solo !
A real gem is tears off of 2112
The live version on “A Show of Hands” is outstanding!!! 👏👏👏
If you're in a rut slap this song on and turn it up to 11. So glad you guys are venturing into the 80s. Keep doing them one at a time. Power Windows will smoke you too. One song at a time. Take your time to soak them in.
"I hear their passionate music
Read the words
That touch my heart
I gaze at their feverish pictures
The secrets that set them apart
When I feel the powerful visions
Their fire has made alive
I wish I had that instinct
I wish I had that drive"
The Female vocalist on 'Time Stand Still' is .... Aimee Mann .... A 'Star' in her own right (IMO) ... The band she was in B4 going Solo was ... Til Tuesday ....
Really glad that you all finally got to "Mission"!!!! To explore more 80s and 90s Rush, I highly recommend "Early Distant Warning", "Kid Gloves", "Nobody's Hero".
'Distant Early Warning' had been my very first impression of Rush's music, followed by the rest of the 'Grace Under Pressure' album when I was 19 (in '89), and I got hooked instantly and also for life, as it would turn out 😊
This song is so beautiful it always brings tears to my eyes. RUSH The greatest rock band that ever was or ever will be.
Mission played live on Snakes tour dvd is one of my favourites
Hold Your Fire is such a beautiful and criminally underrated album. Easily in my top 10 fave Rush albums!
It’s so funny, for most bands being in their top 10 albums would be such a mediocre bar, but for Rush it’s so high!
Deep into the synth era, Alex throws down what I think is one of his best solos in the entire Rush catalog.
He pours a lot of emotion into it. You FEEL the solo on this one. Alex is a genius at playing what the song needs... without ego. But when he lays down... man does he lay down.
Pinnacle 80's Rush. They are absolutely at the top of their game here but it comes alive even more when you see them playing this live, if you can believe that. Quite possibly my all time favourite album from any band period. As much as I love early 70's Rush, it's the 80's synth fueled albums that brought the best out of them in my opinion.
Amen……this is fact!!
Then, we have "A Show of Hands" that is just awesome. I love that live album.
We should not compare it to "Exit Stage Left" or "All The World is a Stage". Completely different moments in their huge catalog. Any of them are just great.
Rush is one of the rare bands where live is as good or better than studio.
100%. I must have watched A Show of Hands a 1000 times growing up.
I believe that every RUSH song has a beauty to it, the quality of the song is incredible, the lyrics are poetic and magical, and the way the whole song is put together is great.
Is this David Hess from DataReturn by chance? I am Mike Finney if you remember me.
@@cpmf2112 no sorry, I'm not from Data Return
@@cpmf2112 no I'm sorry, I'm not from Data Return
@@davehess1019 - That even goes for a song like 'Tai Shan', which is also on this album 🙂 I admit I cringed when I heard it for the first time and especially during the intro, but once I had listened to it a few more times I did find many things to like about it, including beautiful vibes 😊
@@mightyV444 to me, you have to listen to RUSH often and you really have to open your mind because not only is RUSH great music and lyrics, they're also very deep and they make you think, to me they are on a Led Zepplin lyric writing level where Led Zepplin goes to the gothic storytelling and RUSH seems a more technical writing style, would you agree with that?
This album will always hold a special place in my heart. This is the album that I really discovered rush it was the first Rush concert I went to on this tour and that was the beginning of the end for me, I was a Rush fan. 😮🎉😎😁
Great reaction, guys! Be sure to check out "Force 10" from the same album! Hot song!
The 80's run is Rush at their peak, and they make it seem so effortless. Spectacular. One of my favorite lyrics, too. Neil's ode to the amazing things driven men can create and how it motivates him personally. The line "Obsession has to have action, pride turns on the drive." is just *chef's kiss*
One of my favourite albums , some really beautiful music on Hold Your Fire , great 👍 video, Peter Collins who produced this ( recently passed away) mentioned that they tried a British Colliery brass band for the intro of this song..! But opted for keyboard instead
One of three really great songs off this album. You hit two with Time Stand Still & Mission, now hit Force Ten.
Still waiting for you guys to hit the Garden from their last studio album Clock Work Angel.
I've seen Rush many times and I love the era from Signals to Hold your fire! Stupid awesome concerts!
LOVE this song. You have got to watch the live version from the Snakes and Arrows tour.
Yes, this song shines when played live. It bothers me that Alex's solo is cut off on the studio recording.
Best dual-meaning lyric on the album: "..pride turns on the drive."
The live "A Show of Hands" or 1988 concert video doesn't fade out the solo and you can watch Alex nearly cry while playing it. And the next song that started playing on you, "Turn the Page", is phenomenal as well!
My all time favorite Rush song!!!
The MOST BEAUTIFUL RUSH
Hi guys ! When you did "Time Stands Still" I went and got the album from my cd shelf and played all of it. You have that effect on me. It was really good playing it again as it had been a while. [ I even have the original vinyl, but bought it again on cd ] This is a wonderful track which also needs to be heard live. This album contains some very deep lyrics and you can tell a lot of thought went into the writing. It's a case of they wanted to use their music to tell us of the importance of the human condition. Byee Jim X
I am born in 1966 and I grew up with Rush up from 1982 :-). I love the hold your fire album. My personal favourite song is "Lock and key" from this album, but "Force ten", "Open secrets" and "mission" are also fantastic pieces. Until today Rush is THE BAND for me, I always feel better after hearing Rush 🙂
"I watch their images flicker, bringing life to a lifeless screen. I walk through their beautiful buildings, and I wish I had their dreams." Nobody could paint a picture with lyrics like Neil.
AMEN!
hold your fire is a great album(no matter what they say) still got the concert t-shirt,,,,( lock and key,),one of the best song,🔐🤘🤘🤘
The lyrics for this one are powerful.
Hold Your Fire was my intro to Rush. Loved this era of their music. Power Windows has some absolute bangers. But Mission is just such an amazing uplifting go out and conquer the world song.
The end feels like a prog rock 80s power ballad.
One of my all time favorites! Amazing to know that Geddy had a cold when he recorded the vocals, yet they’re among his best, imho.
Finally! ❤️ thank you guys. Rush every week please 😂
What he said!
Thank you for checking out Hold Your Fire, and specifically Mission, which is my favorite song off this album. This song, and Marathon from the Power Windows album are a couple of inspiring and motivating songs that really helped me get through some difficult times.
Marathon too!!!
I loved listening to this song with you guys. I’ve got so many amazing memories of seeing Rush many times over the years. I saw them on this tour and they played Mission live. It is a really awesome song, but it was way more of an emotional experience when you see them play it live. I really miss them. If you want some more early 90’s Rush, check out the song Stick It Out from the Counterparts album.
This is yet another brilliant song from the masters! Thank heavens there's so much Rush music to listen to. It doesn't matter what era.... it's all great!
Geddy became close friends with the amazing bassist Jeff Berlin, and the influence can be heard on this album. Geddy switched over to Wal basses during this period, and I think it sounds amazing. I love this album.
This and the Pass are two of my favorite Rush tracks.....I like the deep cuts you guys take here.
Just when you thought you knew Rush, they're like 🍺 "Hold my Beer" 🥰🐰
For me…this was a landmark album because I first saw them live on Power Windows tour…so this would be the first anticipated release becoming a recent RUSH fan. I will always love this chapter of RUSH..probably my favorite music memories…special time for sure
Great to see your reactions to the more, ‘recent’ Rush. Beautiful composers of music at this point in their careers. There are a feed tracks, in my opinion, that may have you scratching your heads, but it’s all about personal choices. Can’t wait to see your reactions to Vapour Trails. I’ll keep my thoughts to myself until then, lovely people.x
I always liked this one. They still kept it proggy with that foray into 5.
This is one of my favorite songs and definitely my favorite from that album.❤
Also one of my favorite Rush albums
PS great song for the Olympics!
Cheers for the artists! They're on a mission. 🤟👻🌻
Force Ten is one of my fav's off the "Hold Your Fire" album.... so many good songs on this album.
Rush one of a kind ,I love them good reaction guys❤.😊
As you mentioned the sound of the album, it reminded me that I believe Hold Your Fire was one of the first cd's I bought that had the "DDD" designation on it, for digital vs analog for the different stages of production. The clarity over a an analog recording was pretty amazing at the time.
The full digital DDD on the CDs actually started a couple of albums earlier. Power windows was definitely DDD, and I think maybe even Grace Under Pressure may have even been the first DDD. But I agree, how exciting (and new) it was at the time, to not hear the scratches and pops from the vinyl stuff or even the cassette tapes.
When this album came out, I was working at the Tower Records in Las Vegas NV on Maryland Parkway, Right across from UNLV College. I had more fun working at that store than should have been allowed. Met BB King and had a great conversation with him, Among many other celebrities that frequented the store on a regular basis... All of them were cool😁
Temazo de la mejor banda del Mundo!!!!
Ohhh my you really need to do the Garden live Clockwork Angels tour ,A whole different emotional side of Rush also with Violin players , This will melt your heart ❤️ Neil write this after the loss of his daughter to a car accident and his wife shortly after to cancer
Just as an FYI, beginning with Power Windows (the album before Hold Your Fire) Alex does a lot more harmonizing that remained in all their albums that followed. Also, if you focus only on Alex in this song you will hear some of the most beautiful guitar accents he has ever done.
God, that outro solo by Alex is in my top 5......maybe 7 or 8 top solos for me. (And it's very hard concentrating on the song while being amazed by Lex's beauty!)
Hold Your Fire is seriously my number 2 after Moving Pictures .. this is a whole album listen .. Force Ten .. Turn The Page .. there are no bad songs on this one
Ironically, your back to back reactions matches my original Rush experience. After I caught the bug hearing a couple of their popular songs about 1989, I went out and bought two cassettes not knowing what to expect. I grabbed Fly By Night and Hold Your Fire because I like those album covers the best.
The listening sessions were just unbelievable. After absorbing the proto metal on Fly By Night and hearing how much they influenced the metal I was already into, I then moved to Holy Your Fire for this exquisite edgy pop immersion. This is the same band? I was NOT let down by Hold Your Fire, I was intrigued that they created a crypto-pop album sneaking in all of the prog and metal chops in between the cracks. Masters at work under all the synths. And lyrically more sublime and compelling than the typical love and breakup songs of pop. It was intense to me, nothing cheesy at all to my ears.
I 100% agree with others who love this era of Rush!! People need to get past the 70’s!!! Have you ever noticed that no progressive band (and Rush considers themselves hard rock not progressive) never survived past the 70’s because they couldn’t adapt🤔🤔
This is one of my favourite Rush songs and albums!! Please take time and read the lyrics! Neil was very introspective on this album
This is an exceptional album. It's all here.
Favorite album? My favorite is A Farewell to Kings. This one is maybe my second favorite. This song is so heartfelt, it just reaches and reaches and reaches … love it.
Do you have a favorite song on Farewell to Kings?
Yeah you should definitely listen to Available light guys 🎉🎉🎉
Rush actually did some great work in the 80's and a lot of people kinda discount it as too synth heavy. Not me! Loved what they did and I wish I'd have seen this album performed live. Lock and Key is another great one from that album. Nice reaction, Nick and Lex! Peace!
A Show of Hands really captures this era of Rush live. I highly recommend it.
You must see them do this live. Rush with a Genesis vibe!
I really love Vapor Trails and Clockwork Angels quite a lot. Test For Echo is also great, as well as Snakes & Arrows. The whole catalogue is great as well all know!
Hold Your Fire, for what it is, is a really great album. I am really partial to "Turn the Page." If you haven't reacted to that one, I absolutely recommend it.
Phenomenal. I absolutely love this album
Since Lex likes Roll the Bones, two other songs that I recommend for your next listen off that album would be Dreamline and Bravado.
And then two songs off of Counterparts that I'd recommend are Nobody's Hero and Stick It Out (Animate and Cut To the Chase are also up there, and would probably be recommended by most Rush fans, but I would suggest those two)
Force ten, Open secrets, Second nature, Prime mover, Lock & Key, Turn the page and Mission are great songs. I don't know how this album is so often at the bottom of people's album ranking. Take out the 2 last songs and remaster it and that is a great record. Vocals are on point, the song composition the musicianship is precise and cohesive and arrangements are stellar.... I don't get the hate.
To me one of Rush’s best albums!!!
I have always enjoyed the album. Not at the level of their 70's era, but it is still quite listenable. This one stood out right away.
I haven't listened to this song in a quite a while, I had forgotten that little prog section at 6:05-6:48 of this video. Great review as usual and I will always check out any Rush or Yes song you review and visit some of them repeatedly (like Gates of Delirium).
Hey, what's that Montreal licence plate in the background ? That's my hometown !
montréalais,,,comme moé,,,👍🤘🤘🤘
Force Ten is my favorite album, then comes Vapor Trail. All songs on those are amazing.
Wow. All about that bass!!😂 cool tune!!
Wish you guys would visit more of Grace under pressure, Power windows, Hold tu our fire and Presto. There are some great pieces I. That era. One of my all time favourites is on Presto and it’s called Available light. Every reaction channel that has heard my request for that song has placed it in their top 10 Rush songs yet nobody reacts to it. Last song of the 80’s and they closed it with their absolute best !!! Check it out !!!
The chorus always made me laugh fondly. What other band at the time would deliver such a cerebral hook?
I have never been a huge fan of this song, however, the instrumental breakdown is incredible especially live
This is one of my favorite Rush songs. I love the lyrics and music! There is a great live version of this I recommend you watch, from 1988, Live in Birmingham. It's so fun to watch Geddy multi-task on keyboards, bass and vocals, and of course Alex's guitar solo is amazing.
For those of us who lived through the initial and progressive era of the band, it was a bit complex for us to adapt to the new sounds during the 80s, but we forgive everything to our favorite band.
A great track from a great album..
This is one of my favourites🥰. Thank you the reaction.
Mission is an underrated gem. Definitely check out either "Fountain of Lamneth" or "The Necromancer" from their album Caress of Steel for a real deep dive. They're not the most popular songs but are fantastic journeys (inspired by Tolkien no less). #nicknlexrequest
Ok so I admitted I don’t revisit the album, but when they play these songs live I get a new appreciation for them. Was it the studio mix?! I dunno. PASTEL is the word people throw out there.
Remember I’m a huge Rush fan. Yay for echo = hold your fire part 2.
Yeah come at me!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rush===Middletown Dreams==
This is a favourite Rush track for me and the live versions are even better. The lyrics are absolutely outstanding too. Alex's soaring solo at the end just makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
This is my favorite song from HYF.
Very strong album from Rush,guys. Keep going..T
Nick & Lex I knew you would love this song. I Love it some much. Please react to Mission Live 1988. The song Chain Lightning on Presto 1989 album. Neil wrote this song after star gazing with his first daughter Selena in the beautiful Canadian skies. It has cool lyrics and a funky beat. ❤🔥
My favorite from this 😍 album is Prime Mover.
Actually, some of those "keyboard parts" are actually Alex's guitar. He's using a much cleaner tone on this album with active pickups. Combining that with piezo equipped acoustics ran direct and heavily processed being leyered with the clean electric parts make it nearly undecernible from the synths.
The end solo is my absolute fav! Wish I could play it properly, but I don't have the chops....
CUANDO ESTES ACA DE LA RENGA TEMAZO Y EN VIVO PUFFFF SE VA A ATORAR RUclips de likes
Please do the Garden live Clockwork Angels tour , soooo emotional
This song kills in concert.
Vean esta canción en la versión de A show of hands o de la gira de Snake and Arows; al igual que prime mover en vivo de A Show of Hands
Hooray! This is my favorite Rush album, and it gets little respect. It’s the album that made me a fan. Came out as I was starting college. So glad y’all reacted to this!
This version was for the Show of Hands tour and really highlighted Alex's solo for this song. ruclips.net/video/mNn3zI2bCHw/видео.htmlsi=kyUgbMNcC0dcHNPT
I wasn't a fan of this era at the time but it REALLY grew on me over time. I saw this tour 1-24-88
This album was the first NEW studio release from Rush after I had become a fan. I played the hell out of it when all other Rush fans were screaming for their career to just politely end. I stayed on. To this day , I never revisit this album. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
