This is legitimately the best cover of Bangkok I've ever heard. Making it "more metal" (using distortion instead of overdrive, metal licks in the solo) was tastefully executed as to not overpower the original feel of the track. Singer's voice is clean (as is his playing) and the drummer is nailing it down solid. Everything about this cover is awesome. (edit: just realized it's the same dude playing drums and bass lol nice)
Extraordinary. I would have thought it was a remake by Geddy back in the day, except the instruments sound just a bit different. Not a one of those parts was easy. Maybe the best early Rush cover I've heard on YT; and I don't care what anyone says, with the exception of a few songs, their best stuff was BEFORE Moving Pictures. I do suggest developing your own sound and style to tweak songs like this; while not leaving out anything essential. Then, keep working on originals. To nail a song like this, you guys have all the chops you need. Not feeble at all. Masterful. I dare you to find other early Rush covers this good on YT.
Holy shit this cover blew my socks off! The vocal aspect was nailed perfectly! It isn't exactly Geddy, but you've done it in a way that sounds almost like him which I like, but you've given it a distinctive edge that makes it your own. But so far, you've nailed what I've been looking for in RUclips prog covers, and that's the vocals and instrumentals. I've been looking at Kansas covers and the main thing that's turned me off from them is the fact that no one can replicate the sound of Steve Walsh's voice. He is literally the greatest rock vocalist of all time and no one can touch him. However, you've done that with Geddy.
"A feeble attempt..". LOL, you funny! Another awesome cover, the link on 'What You're Doing' took me on the Express to this one. In a similar style to Billy Talent's cover on the Rush 2112 40th Anniversary album. I'm down for more of these if you're up for them! Circumstances would be a good one! 👏👍🤘
Awesome job! I especially like the shots with the camera attached to the guitar - I could watch that view for the entire song. You guys have got to do a 2112 video - can't wait for that!
I'm late to the party however within 21 seconds I was like, "now we're talking!" At first, I'm like "okay guitar player is definitely on point especially with his tone" and then I heard this man's voice 🤘 well done gentlemen!! Well done.
I'm 40 seconds in and blown away. The thing I hate about bands doing Rush covers is that the vocals always suck. Only once before have I heard really great, Geddy-like vocals. You are dead-on, brother! Absolutely fantastic!
Im really glad you like it! Its always scary to try and tackle a vocal like Geddy, and as a huge Rush fan myself I never want to screw with or not do justice to the best, so I appreciate you saying that. Cheers!
The lead singer sounds just like Geddy Lee! Awesome!!
One of those covers that reminds you how much you like that song. Really captures what's cool about it.

Thank you for that comment! Cheers!
I don’t see how anyone could cover Geddy Lees vocals any better than that! Musically fantastic, but the vocals are what hooked me. Great job guys!1
I appreciate that comment. Thank you!!!!!

Brilliant. Terrific vocal performance especially - not an easy song to sing I suspect. Well done guys
Geddied, Alexed, Neiled and Nailed it! Awesome cover!
Deserves way more views. Your Geddy is great; hitting those high notes without any struggle.
Definitely got a contact high from this. Well done, youse guys!
Not bad young man....not bad at all. I love that song. Since 7th grade! Thanks guys. Great job. 👍🏼
One of the best covers of this song. Great job.
Well Done! I have been listening to Rush since 1977. I would NOT call that a FEEBLE attempt! Would say rather: "NAILED IT!" instead.
WOW!
You do a great Geddy brother, keep on rippin
Not many covers of Rush's early material. Very nice to hear this one. Thanks for the entertainment.
I really love this. Hi from Indonesia, fan of Rush.
Absolute killer rendition! You guys nailed it hard!!
And that was some righteous guitar!
I love when Adam Jones does This between songs
That's the second best Geddy voice I've ever heard after Geddy himself!
Right on! Thanks for watching!
Now this is a Rush cover!!! Excellent.
YES! YES! AND YES! How does this not have more views?!
My hats off to anyone who can sing that well 😊😊😊
Thank you thank you!!! 🍻
Probably my favourite Rush track (well one of them anyway). Absolutely amazing!!
,,,,,,,,....yes..........,,,wow......A-PLUS...............watching in land o' lakes,wi....usa..............takes me back.!
Very awesome!
This is Amazing!
One of few that hits gettys notes ..and makes it look easy
Found you on Spotify and favorited it immediately, how does this have so few views? Absolutely incredible cover.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it.
VERY well done!!
Great Geddy voice and I agree with Donkey- Best cover I've heard
This is my first Rush song and it resembles an early prototype of the AC DC song Rock And Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution

Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed it! And agreed with your comment on Steve Walsh, he has such range and control, one of the best ever. Cheers!
this rules so much
Thank you for doing a great cover of this epic song off an epic album that was the sound track of my high school years
Awesome! Thanks for watching and saying that.

A worthy tribute. Super job without being completely slavish.
Smokin' cover!!!
Awesome job, loved every second
Excellent
Wow guys! I'm a huge Rush fan and that was fantastic!!!!!!!! Very well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An excellent rendition. Cannot think of any reason to fault it. Brilliant job
Hands down the best cover I have heard
AH! Thank you!!!
Killer job gentlemen! Hats off to you both.
EXCELLENT cover!
Reverend!!
🍄🌲🍄💥✨🌈
Fantastic, this is really well played. Time was spot on and really clean. Love it!!!
Very nice job!
Outstanding!! Epic cover of that song! You really captured what is so special about that song!
Too good
WOW!!!!! great dudes!!
Very cool guys! I think your vocals are the closest I've ever heard to Geddys👍
Spot on. Nice set of pipes!!
Well done, well done INDEED.......!!! And thank U for sharing with us.... Godspeed.....
Great work really spot on voice
I don't often say this about people covering Geddy's voice, but good job!
Cheers, Mark! Thank you for that.
Awesome job! I especially like the shots with the camera attached to the guitar - I could watch that view for the entire song. You guys have got to do a 2112 video - can't wait for that!
I love it. My only wish is that the guitarist had played the studio version of the lead. It's much sweeter IMO than the live (cheater) version.
Top notch cover. Congrats!
Awesome guy's 👏 love it..
nice ! u guys are killin it!
Belted... couldnt avoid hit the like button.👍👍👍
Excellent job boys. You did the song proud
Amazing cover guys! It feels like a more heavy metal version of the original, absolutely incredible work!
god damn what an awesome solo
Dang!
Solid cover. 👍
I'm late to the party however within 21 seconds I was like, "now we're talking!" At first, I'm like "okay guitar player is definitely on point especially with his tone" and then I heard this man's voice 🤘 well done gentlemen!! Well done.
Sara! Thank you!
I think the tone is Rush but edgy as well. I love it. Sounds awesome
Sara with no H.
H's are EWWWW
it's a good bare bones rocked up version with a 4 - piece kit. Great job by everyone!!!
Well done, guys!
I'm speechless..great job guys !
John, We appreciate that! Thank you.
Don't know if you guys tour but if you're ever in the Chicago area I'll be there !
@@johnbruno3285 Now we have to! Thanks, John.
Great cover!!! Sounds great!!
Great job gentlemen!

Awesome, thank you!
Awesome cover !!!

🤘🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Rush cover perfeito!!!
Me like 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Out-Fucking-Standing - Well Done! J
Time to Tour.
Don't forget Sam's Burger Joint in San Antonio. (Shit name, great venue, good burgers)
You sound like a version of Geddy where I can actually understand the lyrics!
I like how you opened up a little on the guitar parts especially the solo. I always felt the original was a little too tight and confined.
Appreciate that, thank you!
bass needs to be a bit higher but i give this a 8.5/10
Vote 9
Wouldn’t be surprised if they called you and asked for you to stand in for Alex
Top job Bro!
is this really real? wow that sounded good
Phenomenal. Can you cover any Coheed and Cambria or Mars Volta please?
Thank you. I think we could probably do some Coheed!
@@thelucaswarrenproject I'd also love to hear some coheed! Absolutely phenomenal job!!
Will there be a video for Rise to Fight by any chance?
We have some footage of us recording it. I'll share soon.
Sounds great. Just turn up that bass!!!
Billy talent did a good cover also😊😊
Got anyorginal stufff???
Absolutely! You can find all original music and covers on all the streaming platforms.
Needs bass pedals during the solo. Not whatever that was. That’s what makes rush.::.. rush
I'm not a purest on covers but the vocals seem from the throat with a strain. I've found singing in your natural tone works best.
I'm not quite sure what that song is about??!?
the ONLY thing I would have wanted is more of the vocal! The instrumentation was too much over the singing. Otherwise, this was a top notch cover!
