It is sick enough doing ONE song by Rush proficiently on ONE of the instruments but all three proficiently in a medley of Rush?? That is near god-like status, my friend. Wow.
This just blows my fuckin mind how insanely talented this dude is. Plays all 3 instruments. WOW.!!!!!!!!!!! You have got to be kidding me. Insane talent.
This is NOT just some run of the mill musician fucking around on his day off from the factory....this took some time to do and above all talent. The level of musicianship that's behind this is unparalleled to anything I've seen before. Actually I've never seen anything like this before. The drum fills, the bass parts, the clean transition from song to song albeit in the most intricate sections of the songs and then there's the La Villa lead..................damn if I didn't absolutely love this I'd hate you for being so damn good!!! This truly is a one of a kind video. You are the shit!!!!
I am stunned as well! I have to go drive, but i am going to wait awhile because I am too HIGH off of what i just witnessed here. I am going to make sure EVERY musician/friend i know watches THIS. This proves what is possible....though I feel like I just witnessed the IMpossible. There is 'NO WAY that Antoine has not met(??) Alex, Geddy and Neil. He definitely has earned that. it was like time stopped as i watched this video...he brought me into that unique 'Rush space' with his excellence. I am glad that he never sang...because if he by chance sings like Geddy, that would have been TOO MUCH for me, and I fear I would need somebody to push me around in a shopping cart, after that. Mind BLOWN. Hail Antoine...you made my week.
This guy is talented yes. But this still a cover song. What about someone like Stanley Jordan who can play an original composition simultaneously on guitar and piano?
The 56 thumbs down are coming from jealous people, as I haven’t seen anybody on this planet covering Rush and Genesis so well playing ALL the instruments. Amazing work, musicianship, sound engineering ... and so one. next project, one man King Crimson?
I think they're just a bunch of 14-24 year old douche nozzles who know nothing about musicianship and think everything good is EDM off a computer or street rap.
I can’t believe this has been on RUclips for 5 years! Dude, that’s one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. It now serves as a tremendous tribute to maybe the best trio of all time. Nice work!
I know, right?! I just discovered this tonight, 5/19/20, because RUclips randomly placed it on my feed. How was this around for five years without being blasted far and wide?!
@@peacefuljeffrey ... And I'm 2 months behind you having his " One Man Yes" pop up which then led to this one. Got busy for a few weeks, but damn... just as stunning.

Other than vocals, would any major cover band (or the originals in all honesty [RIP to so many we've lost 😞] ) hesitate to slot this dude into any position? The man's an animal. Off to check his channel. 😄
The way this effortlessly transitions from one Rush track into the next is a joy on the eyes and ears. His level of skill over many instruments is absolutely incredible. I could watch this all day. Check out the one he does for Genesis. Superb 👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely incredible!!! As a die hard RUSH enthusiast for over 35 years, it never even occurred to me that ONE human can play ALL the instruments at a world class level like Antoine. The talent, time, and countless hours of hard work are immense. Much respect brother!👍😎
This video proves 2 things. 1.) People will find ANY thing to dislike, 70 people have disliked a Fantastic and Awesome video. For those 70 people, Jesus himself could return and personally give them another stimulus check and select them safe for the Rapture and they'd still find something to dislike and be "offended" about. 2.) Some people have certain talents that most do not. This guy is Very talented and I hope that he finds equally talented band mates and brings his community (or larger scale) a Phenomenal RUSH tribute show. Great Stuff and I wish those 70 folks who disliked this video happiness in their sad lives.
Oh, Enki, please Stop with the Jesus blah, blah, blah stuff. He didn't exist. Do some deeper research of the Bible..understand the original sources that were used. Appreciate the Best Band that Was without Christian misinformation being brought in. Thanks!

@@Morgoth073 drummer is everything. Without drummer there's no band. For strange reason there's not too many drummers exist, so when you start your own band , there's lot of guys or girls wanting to play guitar or sing vocals, but hard to find drummer.
It isn't often that I'm moved to straight tears over someone covering a song, but holy crap, man ... this is just ... words simply fail to convey how incredible this is. To take three of the most revered musicians of all time, channel their talents into yours, and then recreate their gifts of song with such precision ... it's incredible.
These are some of the greatest talents in history on their respective instruments, and he is doing it all. Sorry folks - this guy sold his soul to the devil. If only he had bargained with Lucifer to be able to sing too. Seriously, how does this not have 10mil views?
I respect his ability to play all the instruments on these songs (some parts are a bit rough) and the work he put into this fine tribute, BUT, with all due respect he didn't create these pieces from scratch like RUSH did never mind the fact that they did so like 40 years ago. So, he didn't actually surpass them in terms of musicianship. Imho, there really is no comparison.
Uhh, Christianity is a hoax. All of its stuff was ripped off from much older sources and very much butchered. The God thing and Satan/Lucifer thing, are created from older sources. So the Biblical junk didn't actually exist. How can you sell your Soul to hoax religious characters? Honestly, you have to seek these kinds of videos. Which is fantastic!
It is so nice to watch a tribute cover that was done long before Neil Peart passed away. It is sad to see how many people only value some bands / musicians after their death.
This is pretty nuts. Astonishing even. However, I say this with kindness - I'd like to hear all this talent put into your music and then posted. Learning note for note (albeit insanely complex) tributes to other peoples songs is cool, but my guess is that your talent can explode in original music as well.
Incredible! Insanely well done! I greatly appreciate this and your talent and hard work! I'm a music teacher and rush fan but not nearly as big as my dad (My middle name is Neill)! Sadly, he just passed away from a stroke on May 25th 2022 at 58 years old. Been researching music for his memorial and came across this. So glad I found it and thankful for your medley. It truly has made my day. I will have to play this for family in honor of him and his great love of the best band ever, RUSH. God bless you and your family.
Wow, as a musician with 39 years experience, I can honestly say that you are one of the most TALENTED multi instrumentalist I have ever seen. Not only that, the recording quality, mixing, arranging and mastering is OUTSTANDING. Well done and THANK YOU for sharing this with us.
i´m a FAN of "one Man Genesis" and Now RUSH after YES. NOTE: I am a drummer who plays bass and keyboards but I have no words to classify Antoine Baril. This guy is a great virtuoso! Thankful for day accidentally finding this channel. Salute from BraziL: Tulio - in Love with my TAMAAAAAAAAAA -----
Antoine this is one of the most impressive and inspiring videos on RUclips - your seamless cuts between the different Rush songs is just as accomplished as your musicianship.
First thought: he plays guitar and bass. Ok that’s not hard. Second thought: drums too? Ok, that’s pretty solid. Third thought: wait, is he playing a Rickenbacker? That’s keeping with the spirit. Fourth thought: I wish I was a talented as this guy. Edit: Fifth thought: he’s covering La Villa? Yikes.
All these years later- I still watch this, I still marvel at your talent. Have any Members ever contacted you, commented on your work? So sad for the world to lose Neil Peart. You are his Chester Tomson. Alex Lifeson probably spat his beer when hear this. Geddy should be flattered.
Antoine is the ONLY drummer that Geddy and Alex should call for a Rush tour .. 🙏 & I'd pay $500 a ticket to see them play "Farewell to Kings into Hemispheres" it their entirety 🙏
Oh My! Goodness Gracious! Holy Cow! People post RUSH covers a lot. And I'm left wondering why they decided to do that. This however is a blessing to us. Thank you Sir.
This is by far one of the most impressive tributes I've ever heard, and when it's towards my favorite band, it's truly a must-see. Predicting that I'll listen to this at least 5 different times at separate points, long live Rush!
What are the dislikes for? That was pure perfection if prog rock is your thing and if it's not,well just admire the quality of the musicianship. He is absolute class.
I play guitar, keyboards, bass and drums, all in my own studio - at least I ‘thought’ I did till I found these ‘ONE MAN’ videos. Superb! What a talent in every quarter. Thank you - look forward to more 1st Class shows. 👍
That's just pure awesomeness Antoine!. I am watching this as I just heard of Neal Peart's passing! Thank you, sir, for all the amazing music! RIP Neal!
WOW.... let's see... the right word... EARGASMIC!! Spot on on all aspects... The mere fact you hit all little things that most people bypass just to get the song done, you didn't do! That shows 100% dedication and respect to how Rush has written these songs! THANK you for sharing your talent with us Antoine.
You sir, are a prodigy, a savant, a mythical being. I have just discovered you and cannot fathom how deep and wide your talent goes. God has blessed you abundantly with raw talent that few will ever achieve in a lifetime or even several lifetimes. Rock on brother and keep on sharing your gift with us mortal humans. Gratefully yours, a servant of God.
Antoine, absolutely amazing. I cannot imagine the time effort and commitment that it took to make such a tribute to R U S H. Thank you so much with sharing your talent with the world. You have assumed control, and drank the milk of paradise.
Antoine j'adore ton solo de guitar sur La Villa Strangiato, tu y met autant de passion et d'émotion que sur la version originale ... c'est magnifique !
That was the most amazing rush medley's I've ever had the good fortune to come up on RUclips suggestions Totally blown away thank you for uploading That limelight solo always gives me goosebumps hearing rush play it and you sir did the same. Totally awesome & respect for your dedication 👍
This started off with me feeling a little iffy, because I detected something off about the tone of the guitar in the very beginning, but by a minute or so in, I was feeling blown away. EXCELLENT WORK! This deserves heaping praise and respect, and it should be enjoyed as far and wide as possible. Thank you!
Outstanding and inspirational. As a lifelong Rush fan and guitarist I can really appreciate and enjoy this video. Even better, my 14 yr-old drummer son and his band have picked up on Rush's greatness and are spending hours learning and performing their stuff. He's also doing the synth and picking up the bass as well, so I can't wait to show them this video! Thanks so much and keep it coming!
I would be happy to play just one of those instruments that well. To be able to do them all is just insane. I hope you at least get a job working in a studio band. Amazing.
Holy shit dude- you nailed it! That was incredibly impressive, given just how precisely you played each part, and how very complex and difficult they are to play. And on 4 different instruments!! 👏 I will be sharing this with other Rush enthusiasts 👍
DUDE. DUDE. DUDE. WAIT. PLEASE. You HAVE to keep doing this covers. I am completely blown away by the sound you have achieved. Everything is played perfectly and the mix sounds really really really similar to RUSH's! Could you do entire RUSH covers in the future? I so looking forward to that. Cheers from another RUSH fan, good luck!
Tetasha Thanks a lot for your words man. It's been a lot of work to be able to recreate the tones as close a they were back then but with a modern approach. Thanks man!
I'm curious to know what Rush's reaction to this is, if they've even seen it. I'm guessing a VIP personal meeting is in order, if not. I am speechless, this is so good.
What an amazing display of musicianship! I wish I could give this a thousand thumbs up. Incredible!
It is sick enough doing ONE song by Rush proficiently on ONE of the instruments but all three proficiently in a medley of Rush?? That is near god-like status, my friend. Wow.
That was kick ass , you nailed it and played some of there most difficult songs , very impressive

87 idiots as of 5/20/2020 - how has this been on for 5 years and I'm just now finding out about this musician?
David Deane all under 24.p years old.
I never knew of his existence until a couple of days ago when I witnessed the Yes medley which was as incredible as the Rush one
Probably one of the most impressive things I've ever seen
Who the hell is this guy !!!???!! Amazing Talent !!! He's being shared on my Facebook page !!!
Danny Boy it's me hehe! Thanks man!
Antoine Baril Amazing talent, my friend. Extremely well done!
Oh My!
Goodness Gracious!
Holy Cow!
People post RUSH covers a lot. And I'm left wondering why they decided to do that. This however is a blessing to us. Thank you Sir.
Standing ovation!!!!
This is by far one of the most impressive tributes I've ever heard, and when it's towards my favorite band, it's truly a must-see. Predicting that I'll listen to this at least 5 different times at separate points, long live Rush!
Tremendous undertaking. Really nailed it especially Neil's snare sound. That has to be a Slingerland snare.
Impressive as hell!!! This video is why Rush is my favorite band!! Damned nice job, absolutely nailed it! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
What are the dislikes for? That was pure perfection if prog rock is your thing and if it's not,well just admire the quality of the musicianship. He is absolute class.
I play guitar, keyboards, bass and drums, all in my own studio - at least I ‘thought’ I did till I found these ‘ONE MAN’ videos. Superb! What a talent in every quarter. Thank you - look forward to more 1st Class shows. 👍
J'écoute, je ré-écoute....C'est vraiment excellent. C'est un talent extraordinaire. JE ne m'en lasse pas ! Merci Antoine !
That's just pure awesomeness Antoine!. I am watching this as I just heard of Neal Peart's passing! Thank you, sir, for all the amazing music! RIP Neal!
WOW.... let's see... the right word... EARGASMIC!! Spot on on all aspects... The mere fact you hit all little things that most people bypass just to get the song done, you didn't do! That shows 100% dedication and respect to how Rush has written these songs! THANK you for sharing your talent with us Antoine.
You sir, are a prodigy, a savant, a mythical being. I have just discovered you and cannot fathom how deep and wide your talent goes. God has blessed you abundantly with raw talent that few will ever achieve in a lifetime or even several lifetimes. Rock on brother and keep on sharing your gift with us mortal humans. Gratefully yours, a servant of God.
we are absolutely blessed having this gentleman gifting us with his extraordinary talents !!! thank you ever so much !! O
Antoine, absolutely amazing. I cannot imagine the time effort and commitment that it took to make such a tribute to R U S H. Thank you so much with sharing your talent with the world. You have assumed control, and drank the milk of paradise.
Wow!! That was incredible!! Especially love your take on the "La Villa" solo. Your tone is killer too!!
Dude - serious respect!! Covering all the instruments in a Rush Medley is insane. Awesome job!!
Oh. My. God. I feel like I have been to church. Thank you.
I have spent my whole life watching these bands from the 1970s and I am astonished at this man's abilities, he is nothing short of genius. 😎
I loved the witch hunt part.
me too! that was somehow really different, and reeeaaally good :-)
I know, it has a very a powerful sound!
How can this be a year and a half old yet I just found it? That was awesome man My hats off to ya. Well done
Antoine j'adore ton solo de guitar sur La Villa Strangiato, tu y met autant de passion et d'émotion que sur la version originale ... c'est magnifique !
Almost 5 years ago. Where have I been....? Neil would have loved it. Awesome.
you, sir, are my new hero! Incredible.
How is that even possible? I was fully entranced. Wow.
That was the most amazing rush medley's I've ever had the good fortune to come up on RUclips suggestions
Totally blown away thank you for uploading
That limelight solo always gives me goosebumps hearing rush play it and you sir did the same.
Totally awesome & respect for your dedication 👍
Lost for words, just amazing... Performace, production, perfect
Insanely awesome. Omg. Ridiculously phenomenal
If you can master a Rush song, you're truly a master of your craft.
This guy can play in ANY band he wants to.
Not your everyday replay - top-notch, excellence: playing, mixing, composition, and most of all LOVE!
This started off with me feeling a little iffy, because I detected something off about the tone of the guitar in the very beginning, but by a minute or so in, I was feeling blown away. EXCELLENT WORK! This deserves heaping praise and respect, and it should be enjoyed as far and wide as possible. Thank you!
Outstanding and inspirational. As a lifelong Rush fan and guitarist I can really appreciate and enjoy this video. Even better, my 14 yr-old drummer son and his band have picked up on Rush's greatness and are spending hours learning and performing their stuff. He's also doing the synth and picking up the bass as well, so I can't wait to show them this video! Thanks so much and keep it coming!
Dear G-d, this is off the charts. Geddy and Alex - if you ever tour again to honor Neil….get this guy.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
really impressive.... as a huge Rush fan my whole life this blew me away. Cheers to you brother.....
+Mark Elia Thank you very much! :)
I would be happy to play just one of those instruments that well. To be able to do them all is just insane. I hope you at least get a job working in a studio band. Amazing.
Holy shit dude- you nailed it! That was incredibly impressive, given just how precisely you played each part, and how very complex and difficult they are to play. And on 4 different instruments!! 👏
I will be sharing this with other Rush enthusiasts 👍
Mind blowing. The part that really tore my head off was La Villa Strangiato. The dynamics were spot on.
Were not worthy! Totally blew me away,What an awesome gift to all us life long Rush fans, thank you✌👍🤚🤩
Made me smile. Which is what it should be all about. Great clip.
DUDE. DUDE. DUDE. WAIT. PLEASE. You HAVE to keep doing this covers. I am completely blown away by the sound you have achieved. Everything is played perfectly and the mix sounds really really really similar to RUSH's!
Could you do entire RUSH covers in the future? I so looking forward to that.
Cheers from another RUSH fan, good luck!
Tetasha Thanks a lot for your words man. It's been a lot of work to be able to recreate the tones as close a they were back then but with a modern approach.
Thanks man!
Tetasha Look for Tyler Warren
I just watched him play permanent waves in it’s entirety ... even better he also songs
Incredible
Just like this
Sweeeeeeet! Or should I say "parfait!" Great medley, and great playing throughout. Cheers...
I think a bunch of us are just discovering this masterful rendition of classic Rush! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent! 🔥🔥🔥
I think it's safe to assume that well all the other kids were playing video games Antoine was playing till his fingers bled. You're AWESOME brother!
as a huge smashing pumpkins fan and a even bigger rush fan, that section from By-Tor and the snow dog sounds a lot like cherub rock
My two favorite bands! The pumpkins did a cover limelight in 2000 at a concert at I was at. It's on youtube check it out.
Daft Doggo That was the only part that was lacking for me. Didn't sound quite as good as Peart's he did an amazing job all around.
you mean Cherub Rock sounds like them! :)
Rush were a big influence on Billy Corgan
I had tears in my eyes the whole way. This is love and talent to the nth degree, ROCK ON!
Quite incredible, literally stunning
Holy Cygnus X-1!!! Incredible. 😮😮😮😮
Might be the greatest musician I ever saw!
WOW! Amazing!!! Thanks for that
I'm curious to know what Rush's reaction to this is, if they've even seen it. I'm guessing a VIP personal meeting is in order, if not. I am speechless, this is so good.
Never had any contact with them, they are vey private and I respect that.
Yes, quite private, but truly humble guys. Canadian, eh. Happy to sub to your channel, and keep up the amazing tributes with your brilliant playing.
you're a monster (master) !
Genius!!!
MALADE antoine !!! on se connait pas, criss de belle job !
