Closing out 2112 and this track was just the thing! Beautiful album and what an amazing showing of resilience and growth from these guys. So good.

In 1976, most rock bands were telling us to party hard and break the rules. Then there's Rush saying quit your whining, get off you butt, and make your own rules! What a message to put out there to young impressionable minds. This one's still a favorite after all these years. Cheers!
All the world's a stage is still my go-to when I want some Rush. Been a fan since 76, when introduced to 2112. Then the live album came out, best live album ever, to this day. 👍
Me too! Best musical friends older sister played this song over and over, and I being a very young impressionable drummer in the high school band was literally astonished! Holy shit! And also being an up a coming guitar player listening to Alex's guitar work was an all inspiring awakening! Holy shit!
A buddy of mine put permanent waves in the cassette deck when I was in high school. I was enthralled. We are both drummers so he soon played 2112 for me and there was no turning back for me as a Rush fan. That was circa 1979. Thx for this Tim. Loved watching you hear it and appreciate it fresh. It, and much of early Rush, will continue to speak to you years from now in new ways... in waves. Like peeling onion. It feels like the more I become able to get more, there’s more to get.
Once again, we truly are in the presence of greatness. This is a whole life philosophy in a few minutes and there are worse than this to live by. How much do we love Rush? Incalculable.
Definitely my favorite song on side 2. Love it, and your reaction! Screaming vocals, crunchy bass and guitars, awesome drumming. As you say, great way to wrap up an album.
This was real meat of the Rush 2112 sandwich. Had all the Rush albums, but this was my favorite tune in high school in '79 - gives a teen a kick in the pants to get moving in life. Crank to 11 and follow with Montrose's Space Station #5 to get you fired up in the morning.
So glad to hear you'll be doing the live albums in order as well as the full run of the studio material. I have followed Rush since 1978, we got to see the band evolve & develop over 40yrs, an amazingly unique experience. There's not a Rush album I don't like, they all have something to say & the musicianship is 2nd to none. Enjoying the ride & it's a pleasure to watch someone of the younger generation take this project on & also enjoying so much quality music for the 1st time. Rush rule. They are so definitely in that all-time 'premier league' of bands we have had so far.
I knew our boy would rock out to this song! Oh man, their next album is "A Farewell To Kings." Great! This album was my introduction to Rush, so of course, I love the hell out of this record. Enjoy!
This song is amazing and no one ever reacts to it, thank you! Beneath, Between And Behind is another beauty that rarely gets attention you should check out!
NO worries - Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres are the BOMB! I'd keep after the studio albums until Permanent Waves. Then checkout the early live stuff and you'll know why the crowd is singing along.
Just a little odd trivia: the drum kit that Neil played on FBN, CoS and this record , nicknamed "Chromey", was sold at auction last year for $500,000 (plus buyer's premium) - I saw Neil playing those drums on the 2112 & ATWAS tours.
Until the guitar solo, the star of this track was Geddy: not only was the bass work top notch, but the lyric as written really must have been a bear to sing, and he makes it sound easy. Drums add so seamlessly to the whole that you don't even really notice them until near the end, but relistening reveals they add a lot throughout. Of course, enough can never be said of Alex's guitar!
I hope you do the live albums as well, this on "All The World's A Stage" absolutely burns the house down. ALSO: Heed no warnings, Rush never really drops the ball and with "A Farewell To Kings" on deck (studio wise) there is utterly nothing to worry about.
Excellent Tim, thank you for doing this and for picking up the pace. As a life long RUSH fan I am here to enjoy this journey with you. "All the Worlds a Stage" , a line Neil would use in a later song, is next. Enjoy!
It's a lot to take on board when listening to Rush. Because English is not my first language I wish they release book with all their lyrics. I would read it often.
I believe they're all available on the rush.com website, along with liner notes. I read the lyrics while listening to all these songs the first time many years ago. This was one of the big fold out album covers that had the lyrics inside, IIRC.
I just realized the tie-in between the message in something for nothing and 2112's message of independence and doing things your own way to the music industry. Hmm. Love it.
Can’t wait until you get to the next one..... the first live album..... AL THE WORLDS A STAGE!!!! It’s going to blow your mind and make you wish you could have seen them live.....
Oh Yeah ... The Boy’s continued to bring it with A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres!!! Tim, you can definitely have high expectations for what you are about to hear and enjoy!!! My Top 2 Favorite Albums of All Time!!!
Great to experience 2112 in his whole again and fantastic to see the great appreciation of Tim. Epic from start till end. And although Rush is fantastic in their live performance and Farewell to kings have stunning songs, I am already looking forward to Hemispheres. Closing a huge musical era. After that Rush will be different. No bad albums, no greater albums, but different. Always great songwriting and lyrics, extra ordinary musicianship, and developing. Thanks again for the journey Tim.
Such a great closer and fun song. Sometimes I’ll sit around with a guitar strapped on without any particular purpose. Usually I’m mindlessly running through scales, technique drills, or even playing the melody whatever advertising jingle is on the tv or radio at the moment, but sometimes randomly playing songs I learned a long time ago. Something For Nothing is one of those things I’ll just start playing out of nowhere. Great song, great message, and great performance. It will be fun to see your reaction to All the World’s a Stage to hear the live versions of the first four albums.
This is a great closing song! I've ALWAYS loved this one, especially as it wraps up such a great album! For a treat, you should listen to the live version on All the World's a Stage. It's a great version!
I haven't looked at all the comments, but if no one has mentioned, what you'll find is Rush stayed with a 4 studio album, 1 live album format for quite some time (all the way to the end of the 90's), and to be honest, for your reactions, it will be the perfect 'break' from the studio versions to hear their live treatments!! Can't wait to see/hear your thoughts on All The World's a Stage!! Live from Massey Hall in Toronto baby!! (great venue - the acoustics are SUPERB!! Never saw Rush there, but a few other bands) Indeed - Something For Nothing is probably one of the best album closers I can think of! Absolutely RAWKS! \m/
Great ending to a great album. For me, this song was Rush reminding us that they still had roots in hard rock. They sprinkled in some progressive elements to make it uniquely their own sound.
Unlike me Tim you’ll be here in 2062. You will still be enjoying 2112 with only 50 years to go. Then you can say the same to others in their 20’s. The lucky ones who will be rocking this out in the actual year 2112.
What a great song to finish a great album. This song always reminds me to get off my ass and go do something. I think it’s time to go for a workout LOL.

A very salient point!
Words of wisdom.
Just love this tune, should have been a radio hit. Thx for the reaciton.
All the World’s a Stage is gonna blow your mind, man...
Live version of Bytor 😁
Totally... Anthem, this one, 2112... just a great album.
A great song on a great album... but don’t worry there is plenty more ahead. You just gettin’ started.
✌️☝️☝️✌️
This song has always been one of my favorite RUSH songs since I first heard it in 1976. The lyrics have always stayed with me.
Bytor on all the world is a worldy!
When you see how they re-produce this material live, your mind is going to be blown even further! Looking forward to seeing your reaction.
All the world's a stage is still my go-to when I want some Rush. Been a fan since 76, when introduced to 2112. Then the live album came out, best live album ever, to this day. 👍
First album of theirs I ever heard (back in late '76)
Me too! Best musical friends older sister played this song over and over, and I being a very young impressionable drummer in the high school band was literally astonished! Holy shit! And also being an up a coming guitar player listening to Alex's guitar work was an all inspiring awakening! Holy shit!
The next album is thier first live " All the Worlds a Stage". This album was my into to Rush through a friend. Great album with a killer drum solo.
My first Rush album as well!
love this song :)
wen your hear the next album?
This is hands-down my favorite song on side B. I love everything about this song.
A buddy of mine put permanent waves in the cassette deck when I was in high school. I was enthralled. We are both drummers so he soon played 2112 for me and there was no turning back for me as a Rush fan. That was circa 1979. Thx for this Tim. Loved watching you hear it and appreciate it fresh.

Everyone tends to forget Something For Nothing when it was just a fabulous song.
They know how to shine as 3 into one. Spectacular.
This song is perfect
Next: A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres
For me, Hemispheres is the bomb.
This album is really a masterpiece!!!
What a guitar! What a drums!!! AND WHAT A BASS!!!!
Once again, we truly are in the presence of greatness. This is a whole life philosophy in a few minutes and there are worse than this to live by. How much do we love Rush? Incalculable.
Definitely my favorite song on side 2. Love it, and your reaction! Screaming vocals, crunchy bass and guitars, awesome drumming. As you say, great way to wrap up an album.
Great reaction, Tim! So glad you enjoyed one of my top 5 RUSH Albums!! See you in part 2!!
Awesome song. Awesome message. They practiced what they preached and the rest is history.
Best deep cut from any Rush album you will ever hear
The perfect ending to a perfect album
As a musician you can listen to it with that OMG WOW why are these guys not MORE popular.
Say That Again!!!

I knew our boy would rock out to this song!

can't wait
You actually get it young fella

Remember this song when you do The Spirit of Radio. The vocal from Geddy that leads into Alex’s solo.
Just a little odd trivia: the drum kit that Neil played on FBN, CoS and this record , nicknamed "Chromey", was sold at auction last year for $500,000 (plus buyer's premium) - I saw Neil playing those drums on the 2112 & ATWAS tours.
That's how you finish a masterpiece album.
😷This is probably my favorite song from this album👍🤘🖖✌️🥁🎤🎸🥇🇨🇦
another good song!
Bob, you're a king of the understatement 😉.
@@davecole2561 Haha!

Such a great tune
A lot of people like to talk about skipable tracks, I’ve been known to skip 2112 to hear “THE OTHER SIDE” if u catch my drift.
That’s what I love about geddy he doesn’t play just one or two notes 😊🥁🎸🇨🇦
I hope you do the live albums as well, this on "All The World's A Stage" absolutely burns the house down.
ALSO: Heed no warnings, Rush never really drops the ball and with "A Farewell To Kings" on deck (studio wise) there is utterly nothing to worry about.

This album is but the appetizer to what lies ahead
So glad you’re going to do the live albums as they appear in the time frame. By-Tor and the Snow Dog is going to knock your socks off!
It's a lot to take on board when listening to Rush. Because English is not my first language I wish they release book with all their lyrics. I would read it often.

@@ryancraig2795 thanks, I will have a look. But would be nice to have a paper book and put it on the bed side table as my holy bible 😂😉
You could always pick up some records and check out the jackets
I just realized the tie-in between the message in something for nothing and 2112's message of independence and doing things your own way to the music industry. Hmm. Love it.
Man, wait until you hit the A Farewell To Kings album!!!
2112, farewell to kings, hemispheres, permanent waves, moving pictures, signals rush at their best!!
Alex was 21 when they wrote this! LOL. INSANE.
Can’t wait until you get to the next one..... the first live album.....
AL THE WORLDS A STAGE!!!! It’s going to blow your mind and make you wish you could have seen them live.....
Phenomenal. ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Oh Yeah ...
The Boy’s continued to bring it with A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres!!! Tim, you can definitely have high expectations for what you are about to hear and enjoy!!!
My Top 2 Favorite Albums of All Time!!!
If you have not already watched Beyond the Lighted Stage you should watch it Rush's story in their own words
Great to experience 2112 in his whole again and fantastic to see the great appreciation of Tim. Epic from start till end. And although Rush is fantastic in their live performance and Farewell to kings have stunning songs, I am already looking forward to Hemispheres. Closing a huge musical era.

'All The World's A Stage' up next! My first Rush album, back in '79, so some sweet memories await me!
🎸🥁🎸
All The World's A Stage version of Bastille Day..you will change ur opinion i hope lol.. the definitive version of that song
fucking eh !!!!!...great great great song !!!
This is a song for today
Unlike me Tim you’ll be here in 2062. You will still be enjoying 2112 with only 50 years to go. Then you can say the same to others in their 20’s. The lucky ones who will be rocking this out in the actual year 2112.
🎼🐐🐐🐐🎶🎤
What a great song to finish a great album. This song always reminds me to get off my ass and go do something. I think it’s time to go for a workout LOL.
Even as a teen i thought Rush was too "high brow" for many people while i just reveled in all of it. I'm sure there's plenty of folks who'd agree.
Don't ya hate it when a brilliant song fades out ? Why can't they keep playing for 10 more minutes?! LOL
Alex seems to do that guitar fade at least once an album. "Always leave 'em wanting more!!" Alex is my guitar god crush! 💋🎸
YOU HAVE TO DO "HEMISPHERES"
I dont think you you have to worry about over expectation lolz hemispheres
Best song on the album, not named 2112.
