In my opinion Rush are only now recieving the respect and recogition they have always deserved. I have seen many many bands over the last 35 years, several repeatedly, not to mention bought hundreds of albums. Rush is the ONLY one that has never dissapointed
I'm from the US and I hated USA for Africa!!! We Are The World... Get over yourselves! That much inflated ego in one room is an embarrassment. I like this one better and it's got Ged!! He's better than all the USA for Africa "stars"combined! :) :)
@@denmac19 yep Neil young is very well known and successful. Most consecutive gold albums of all time in history in order. Beetles, Rolling Stones, and third? Yes, it’s rush . I know, I can’t believe it either lol.
Love Geddy and rush but I’m not sure he’s by far the most successful person there. Neil young, light foot and even David Foster all are right up there with him. He’s still awesome though and I’d take some early rush anytime !!!
Well I know that Rush is still today a hugh donator to various countries across the world. After Tour and living costs are covered, a large chunk of their tour income goes towards various charities supporting third world countries
You're absolutely right. In pop culture terms Rush is bigger than they've ever been by a huge factor. Their new album has garnered rave reviews and they've won countless awards the last few years. They're as "current" as they've ever been and it's laughable to suggest otherwise.
@xxxx15us .... actually, there were 3: We Are The World by U.S.A. For Africa, this one (Tears Are Not Enough by Northern Lights), and the original inspiration: Do They Know It's Christmas by Band Aid. But I DO agree, this one was the more obscure one, for obvious reasons: our quiet, unassuming Canadian way! I liked this the one best though... I always found the American one to be too arrogant ("WE are the world").... yeah, sure you are! lol
8 years later. No kidding. Triumph is always overlooked. Rik is absolutely the most underrated rockstar. Sings and plays like a God. What a crap song. Tough to watch. Rik isn't singing but Paul Schaffer is. Makes sense.
@kkkkristen100 It seems like there were 100 of these "let's all get together and sing for the poor people" songs made in the 80s. This was probably one of the more relatively obscure ones. Still interesting though. Glad you liked it!
2021 - Os talibãs retomaram o controle do Afeganistão...fome, crise climática...voltamos aos anos 80 e temos o dever de colocarmos em prática novamente as vozes que mudaram o mundo naquela época. Existe saída para nossa civilização...choros não serão suficiente.
I know you don't like idea of the song existing, but I am pointing out that SCTV somewhat supported this. Also, who would make fun of people trying to do a genuine attempt to support a third world country, unless it was obviously no body cared, that would be kind of mean and un-supportive to the cause. Also, what are you talking about for has-beens, Geddy Lee is still at the top of his game, Neil Young is still a highly-regarded artist, and many others too.
@@toobmaniac I have no idea who that is either. I know just about everyone else there but not Kim. Neither have I heard of Max Webster. Oh well. We can't know everyone, right?
Ho was this obscure???? It was huge in Canada, pretty sure it was on the We Are The World album. This interview is from the 45+ minute documentary that aired on CBC here in Canada, which the majority of Canadians watching tv at that time were viewing(back then there were 13 channels). Oh wait, I know why it is obscure.....because it is not American. I'm quite certain Rik Emmett(please look up spelling people) was not present. My fave benefit, the metal one called Hear'n Aid :), look into it
@einarabelc5 as good as the song is already ur right. if james labrie was in it it would instantly make this song 50 times better. geddy and james singing together would cause the creation of a whole new universe!!!! go rush and dream theater
They were ALL better than the American one! Our was just because Geldof did one and Michael Jackson said "I can't let HIM get all the attention" so he HAD to do one. "Do they know it's Christmas?" was a beautiful song.
I just remembered why I hated the eighties some much , as much as anyone can . This is as bad as we are the world . All of these people are “BIG FAT PHONES “ .
Really?? Gordon Lightfoot is crap? Bruce Cockburn? Burton Cummings, come on, for American Woman alone you can't put the man down, no matter how soppy some of his newer music is.Ronnie Hawkins?? I think I still hear Loverboy every time I turn on the tv. Just because someone is popular does not always mean they are good(for the record, Celine Dion is a talented singer, who I will never listen to), but also remember, just because you don't like someone does not make them crap
You should have either bought the program or found another free video editing software that didnt leave a watermark dead center video for the whole thing. #Fail #Cheapskate
I remember thinking at the time how corny these were getting. Don't get me wrong, the sentiment was legit ad I was at Live-Aid in Philadelphia, but this just so hokey.
Vanilla Ice is an embarrassment no mater where he's from, but the rest you mentined including Rush have done great things, and Rush is STILL going strong afer nearly 40 years! you don;t have to LIKE them, but you have to RESPECT them. Celiene Dion may not be your cup of Moosehead, but you gotta resepct the QUALITY of what she's done. My questin is where is Rik Emmitt of Triumph?

Very well put
Geddy Lee part gave me chills. I love that guy!
Me too l love Geedy Lee ...Rush...Rush...☺☺🤗🤗🤗❤
Too bad the band went downhill after moving pictures
@@gianthills that's your opinion 😊
@@user-dh8tj1tk4n and the opinion of millions
@@gianthills great 😊

They stopped being a rock band after signals
Damon Marcus that absolutely Hertz unfortunately you're partially right
They will never stop being a band just theyre..rip neil sound changed
Geddy Lee is the coolest man I ever know.
You mean you never knew
@@toobmaniac ...You mean.."I've ever known."
if geddys there, by definition, its cool
Such eloquence from Geddy Lee. A lovely interview.
Geddy Lee and a bunch of others mostly forgotten by time.
David Foster has always been one of my favorite pop music producers. I'm glad he did this song and the other charity single "Voices That Care".
Geddy Lee rules !!!
I'm from the US and I hated USA for Africa!!! We Are The World... Get over yourselves! That much inflated ego in one room is an embarrassment. I like this one better and it's got Ged!! He's better than all the USA for Africa "stars"combined! :) :)
I didn't know Canada had its own "We Are The World". Strange what you learn just browsing RUclips.
thankfully, we don't. that's the yank song you're thinking of. usa have their own "tears are not enough."
And Great Britain has "Do They Know it's Christmas?" as well. So let's all celebrate peace and harmony by fighting over which song is better.
+JopestersWild LOL...."Stay hostile My Friends"!!!
This song is from US for Africa LP.
JopestersWild 😂😂😂😂😂 LMAAAOOOOO!!!
This so much blows We Are The World away💁♀️
Best bass player ever
Ged is by far the most successful person there, by far. I wonder if they even realized it at the time
Neil Young?
@@denmac19 yep Neil young is very well known and successful. Most consecutive gold albums of all time in history in order. Beetles, Rolling Stones, and third? Yes, it’s rush . I know, I can’t believe it either lol.

RushBoingo in my opinion, Their philanthropy makes their legacy shine ever brighter.
Neil should have played drums on the track like Phil Collins did on Do They Know It's Christmas.
They look like the cast of the muppet show

Geddy Lee and Neil Young. Totally Awesome sauceum
It's weird to see this again God seems like a 100 years ago.
One of the few interviews I’ve never seen with Geddy, Thank you for the upload
Peace and love, unicorns and fairy tales... all the way to the BANK$$$
Funny, both, especially Rush are selling more and are more popular than ever.
SCTV did do this justice, three members sang on this song.
The metal song for this effort is the best.
This is so cool! I had never heard of this single before seeing this video, what a great group effort for a great cause!

our quiet, unassuming Canadian way! ?? Kinda dumb for a celebrity based song meant to raise awareness and money for starving people wouldn'tcha say ?
It was the 80's when this kinda productions began to spare; never liked'em back then. Now, 40 years later: still don't.
💙!
um, this is awesome
So freakin Canadian EH!!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Good heavens!
Was Rik Emmit of Triumph missing or did I just miss him?
8 years later. No kidding. Triumph is always overlooked. Rik is absolutely the most underrated rockstar. Sings and plays like a God. What a crap song. Tough to watch. Rik isn't singing but Paul Schaffer is. Makes sense.
Songs are not enough
Dirk! Bringin it, eh? Beauty!
Same here!
it needs a frank marino guitar solo
Almost as bad as Feed The World! Brilliantly cheesy - love it! What a find!
🎸Geddy “Slappin Dat” Lee🪓
Real fucking awesome👼😘😇💋
Wow. I just found a bunch more people in there like Andy Kim. Couldn't' figure who that was. I thought it was Mike Craig from Culture Club.
@johnnyVo74 They were not Has Beens in 1985.
Good question. I can't find any reference to him being there which is kind of surprising.
Paul Shaffer @ 7:13
@kkkkristen100 It seems like there were 100 of these "let's all get together and sing for the poor people" songs made in the 80s. This was probably one of the more relatively obscure ones. Still interesting though. Glad you liked it!
Corey Hart in there! lol

Geddy translation : SNL worthy but for a good cause, here goes...
Burton Cummings - greatest Canadian vocalist to live
the guy with short blond hair is awsoem :)
lol, look at Kim Mitchell in the back at 6:04, he's like "WTF is this?"
Who TF is Kim Mitchell ?
@@toobmaniac iconic Canadian singer with a band called Max Webster. They have their own set of celebrities up north.
@@toobmaniac I have no idea who that is either. I know just about everyone else there but not Kim. Neither have I heard of Max Webster. Oh well. We can't know everyone, right?
@@tvtitlechampion3238
Tiny celebs evidently.. Not international celebs..We have many here too !
We are the world, we are the children... oh wrong song.
no buffy?
Mark Holmes from Platinum Blonde.
@jimmyEADG Bryan Adams dude
I take this is ALL Canadian artists. Too bad James Labrie is not there :(. Obviously because he wasn't famous yet.

I think this one is WAY better than the American one.
Mark Henry at 6:14! LOL!
@jimmyEADG his name is alex lifeson my dad knows him because he grew up in richmond hill and so did alex :P

I had never seen John Candy before. Thats so cool.
*LMFAO*
5:40 Vocals For Europe? Who Is That?
You are Canadian and think Rush and Neil Young are HAS BEENS?
Mozart1220 they really haven’t had the longevity of Corey Hart or what’s his name with the mustache

no Tom Cochrane? no Stompin Tom? no Ian and Sylvia? I guess you couldn't get them all.
It's not Pokemon.
@@Luthiart and most important of all whos missing,,,,Mosstone himself!!
I guess that Robin Sparkles was still too young for this.
But damn! Talk about a cheezy '80's song!
This sort of unity sure went to hell over the last 35 years or so in our country didn't it ? sad !
Canadians! Is there anything they can’t do?

Canadian great band? Try ZIONS' ABYSS 'T.A.L.E.S.' '90's album
Awful song
I love Geddy and the Rush boys, but that was idealist ill-informed liberal hippie shite :D
As opposed to the cynical, actively caustic 'fuck the poors' attitude of conservatives?
