Rush Cygnus X-1 My Ukulele Way

- We take flight to the black hole of Cygnus X-1 from within my tiki hut on a windy day in a busy neighborhood. I really thought a limb was going to crash through the roof of the hut near the end and that wind was right on cue. So thank you Mother Nature for the FX!
There is a lot of crazy stuff going on in the background of this video. The wind comes and goes, like a lion at times. Trucks, chimes, sirenes and air conditioning units hit cues. Shasta, the neighbor's dog yelps, I laugh because I know at any second my two dogs will explode and ruin the take, but they keep cool. I like when you can hear the kids in the background when I segue into No One at the Bridge, and that wind gives the whole thing a kind of Hitchcock vibe.
This might be the greatest thing I have ever seen and heard.
You and me both! I wouldn't have believe that it could done on a uke
wtf r 5 people smoking?! this was amazing... good job bro!
Dog barking in the background of a hard core Rush fan's back yard - this is precious!
OMG, man! Cygnus X-1 on the damn ukelele! Amazing, sir! I went right out and drank a Mai Tai and took a hit of acid! Just kidding, but kudos to you for even attempting it. It made my day! Thank you! Aloha!
Okay, I never comment, but this was totally worth it. Caught myself smiling hardest at 6:54.. Great job, bro!
Amazing! This really put a smile on my face. :-)
You definitely know the song you're playing. It takes some skills to do it convincingly with an ukulele and you can sing too! The added No One At The Bridge from The Fountain Of Lamneth was an excellent addition to the end. I think Caress Of Steel is just as good as the later progressive albums by Rush. Those songs need to be heard more.
This is bloody awesome. Just the way Geddy, Alex and Neil intended it no doubt ...
Saw this a year ago and it's still Awesome to a rush fanatic like myself I like the no one at the bridge part
Reminds me of a hard core Rush fan on a desert island of the South Pacific livin' the dream . . . Baby!
Probably the best best cover of Cygnus I've heard. The island setting is fantastic.
That is bloody marvellous! I smiled all the way through in an awed kind of way. Truly remarkable, my friend. Thank you.
All other covers who dare to cross this course, are swallowed by this video's fiersome force.
This is just amazing.
You totally captured the spirit of the song in a way I could have never imagined. Well, well done! Bravo!!!
Oh and also I like at the end when you go to do the "Every nerve is torn apart" part and you just look at the camera like 'Yeah right, I ain't singing that high!" Awesome.
This has to be one of the most epic things I have ever seen...amazing lol
That is beyond one the bloody coolest things I've ever seen!
Love the look when you pause for the drum fills!! This is just awesome!!!
I finally found God because of you...this is enlightened and transcended me to another level!!!!!
I picture you sitting on an island,just jamming away.awesome!
There is so much awesome here, it tickles my toes.
the video quality is 240p.
the playing quality is 1080p.
Rush! Play videos of this guy on the screen at your concerts!!!!!!!! Awesome job!
Rush hasn't toured for years bruh
Same here. I thought "Ok, that's kinda fun, but I'm done here..." But, I just stayed and I'm glad I did. What a cool version.
I'm atomized at the core. Great job!
One of the most epic things I've seen on youtube for a long time.Wish I could do that.
Brilliant!! Love the ending "no one at the bridge" fits perfect. Really great stuff.
Keep on rocking in a free world brother! That was really cool!
When you are Captain Epic you need no pants.
Shred on Sensei
Another great display of incredible ukulele skill (and taste in songs to cover)!
There are no words for how amazing this is.
Bless you brother!! This made my day. Sending it to everyone.
Mind-blowing. Congratulations, very well interpreted.
Message from a Rush fan in Brazil: you're incredible!
This is just awesome! Seriously, I love this!
haha awesome man! just spotted Bacchus Plateau, gonna have to watch that one next, as it's one my favorite parts of Fountain of Lamneth :)
Muito louco! Ficou legal demais. Os caras do Rush deviam ver esse video.
I almost passed this up. Man, this is the coolest Rush cover ever!
I now have a new hero! Thanx bro for the inspiration.

As blicksneatff said: this is epic!!! We have to find a way to make Alex Lifeson watch this!

I was amused,,,,and then I went to grab the mouse,,,and my hand said "no" and when I tried to use the other hand,,,the all knowing hand slapped it and said "no" and then I began to rock,,,,and try as I might to fight it,,,,,I was headbanging to a Uke,,,,,life is strange. Thank You

How is this possible on a ukulele!??!?!!??!@ AMAZING!
That was very good! I am quite impressed. You were right about the atmosphere providing the appropriate special effects as well. The second truck wasn't bad, but the first one was right on cue.
And what a nice ukulele! Was it amplified?

Imagine RUSH having a campfire song.

You're a musician. Nice.
