#Rush #MovingPictures #YYZ
Man I must have listened to this song 5,000 times and this video just gave it some new life. Cheers to another 5,000!
This video is pure genius! (and I am no genius!)
Hey Slobovich, bring that piece of gargage up from the basement!
Oh, Papa!
I am there, same, exact. Headphoned listened to YYZ countless times. Never knew of this vid until right now. Must start all over again.
This song was also part of the Laserium show at the Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles - it was incredible.
@@dxrobertson brand new clip. Just released this week.
"Yiz? What the heck does that mean?"
@@jdmensing A friend of mine turned me on to the fact that YYZ is the ID code for the Toronto airport.
In the words of Rick Beato- This is why 40 years later, we are still listening to RUSH
I love that guy! And those three guys!
"Be your own hero." - Neil Peart
Rick just posted a discussion of Xanadu, well worth the half hour.
You saw his live stream of Xanadu?
@@TinaReggie I like how he just put that out because 'lately he has been listening to a lot of RUSH' He is trying to get Geddy and Alex on for an interview. They should do it. He promotes them lovingly.
Was not expecting this at all but my day just got better. Can't wait.
Big ditto here. Let the big wheel spin!
I'm with ya bro, fricken mind blowing! So fricken tight, Judas Priest 🌴🌴
THE BAG!😂
@@stevesmith8493 I don't get it. The Bag?
@@josephnaja it’s a ‘character’/ alter-ego Alex Lifeson dressed up as back in the day
I was listening to this while high the other night. I shed a tear when 2:51 hit. An insanely powerful section of the song...
2:51 makes me feel it all bro. such a powerful piece
Toronto airport needs to have this playing 24/7
Love it - Everything Rush does or releases for the fans is "top notch".
Even after their retirement they still produce & give us stuff to be excited about.
It's come to be expected and as you well know, we are the fortunate benefactors of this fact 🙏
Love it
They learnt that FROM KISS! KISS gave them their start!
@@DMSProduktions Not even remotely comparable - sorry...
yyz and la villa are masterpieces of music
La Villa is my fav Rush song, such a great song, from my fav Rush album
100% agree
Saw Metallica drum man!! Do solo of Neil's drum solo at a foo fighters Concert And he did it excellent !!!
@@0ller music Angels sent here!!!! to calm me down and hide me FROM Wickedness
@@jayellzey8866 wat?
One of the things I really enjoy about Rush is how they create a musical contrast between busy and calm, between action and nostalgia.
Well put, nodding in agreement 😊
Tension and Release is what makes music great. This song is stellar.
That has always amazed me, the fact that it blends in together so well
I love how Alex and Geddy, in these videos, express their love for Neil. You KNOW they can't and WON'T forget him. I hope, from on high, he and his family feel the love of his dearest friends.
Pam: "What, you finally nailed Y-Y-Zee?"
Kreiger: "It's Y-Y-ZED! And, no. Neil Peart stands alone."
One of my favorite Rush references in one of my favorite Archer episodes. Rest in Peace, Neil. Thank you for being an absolute musical legend!
I'm so surprised I had to scroll down so far to find this.
Legs?
@@oddkidbiker HEY! PHRASING!!
Actually it was Archer and Kreiger having this conversation right before Kreiger showed Archer a reanimated (cyborg) Katya.
@@iLoveUbeicecream I know. But they followed it up in the same episode with Pam.
I didn't ask for an official music video for YYZ, and I sure didn't know how badly I needed it.
Moving Pictures is an absolute masterpiece. There's not a single throwaway song on the entire album, it's absolute perfection. The most under-appreciated band in the history of rock.
it must have been a really hard to follow up! jeez, if i wrote that many good songs for an album and produced them so perfectly, it would probably be my last album...
@@jimmythebold589 That was definitely the "lightning in a bottle" album for them, and I'm sure that even THEY felt they were chasing it, after the success of its release.
It's a great album but let's not kid ourselves. Side 1 gets played way more than Side 2 does.
@@jonmarck That may be true for the casual or mainstream fan, but speaking for myself (a diehard fanatic since their debut album) I play side 2 as much as 1 and especially love "Witch Hunt" with it's powerful statement that i believe is more relevant now, In the state of our current societal issues.
A f*cking masterpiece. It takes a genius to write a bass riff that's actually the title of the song in morse code. And it actually sounds amazing!!
I didn't know that until now. That's crazy.
The morse code is for torontos airport
@@zylavormusic2616 Exactly. That’s the code for the Toronto International Airport.
@@PirulitoFlores More specifically, it's the designator for the VOR/DME navigation station at the airport, which broadcasts it's identifier in morse code. This is what airplanes use to determine their distance and bearing from the airstrip.
The bass is in a 5/4meter. So the question is .. is the morse code transmission of the actual airwave pattern I'm 5/4 as well?
Geddy Lee plays the bass like the lead guitarist. Nowhere is that more apparent than this song. The bass line is just nuts.
He and Ox are beasts...
For those who don't know this song was inspired by the Toronto Airport VOR identifier which is KYYZ...Toronto Airport. Rush always flew through there as it was their home. The rhythm in the beginning of the song is morse code for YYZ. When pilots tune their NAV radio to a VOR navigation beacon, they hear the morse code for that particular site. Alex Lifeson was working on his pilot's license at the time and they heard it when they were flying. Neil and Geddy started working with that rhythm and this magical song was born. As a pilot and a Rush fan...this is amazingly cool. Now you understand the video too.🙂
Pardon the pun but "props" to you for acknowledging that.
This song makes me want to go back to Toronto! In my personal opinion an amazing city (though I am bias i got married there)
KYYZ should play yyz instead of the morse code identifier😂
I just landed at YYZ heading home to SC
Cool tune and cool story behind the music
Not to be the a-hole but it's CYYZ in ICAO terms - K is USA P is USA Pacific including Alaska...
I like all of the different references related to the band throughout the years. The girl from "Permanent Waves". The juggler from "Hold Your Fire". The sign "Tom Sawyer" , a nod to Tim Horton's. Uncle's Country Place B&B and the Red Barchetta car. Vital Signs Urgent Care. Ceccone's Pizzeria. Broon's English Pub. The movie sign "Fear". Danniel's Cafe. Honeydew Donuts. Fried By Night Chicken. Limelight the universal drink. Modern Day Spa.This was definitely a special treat for Rush fans who appreciate their creativity and hard work.
You sir have an excellent eye. I was noticing a lot of the same things and you just went and named them! Well done!
Also the McKenzie Brothers on right at 1:05
@@wildmike951 Yup, ya nailed it!
@@timwalsh715 who is sitting on the left side near the guy dressed as the chicken
@@wildmike951 at what minute mark man??? I'm sort of lost . . .there are SO many easter eggs in this its just amazing!!!
Rush is the best 3-piece rock band ever, and it's because they did it like work, not as rock stars, and that alone made them rockstars
Check out The Warning. They are on the same path, the same way.
@@somedude5414 💯 % shall
@@somedude5414 trip. they not from around here... 😉😉😉
I think they share the top with cream
@@navneetsinghr4290 no offense... but my reaction is "who"? 🙃
I will ALWAYS love Rush. I will carry my love for their music into the next life. NOT joking.
👍
Well said. Same.
For sure!!!!
ok...
Same, bro.
I finally can remember all the lyrics to this song
The breakdown at 2:48 is one of the most beautiful transitions ever written in music
Whenever a Rush tune comes on I immediately start table drumming like crazy. This has been going on since the kimono days! Thanks, guys!
Doesn't everyone? ;)
lol same
@@guitarizt68 just the rockers!
Ello
I think we all air drum when RUSH comes on.
LOVED IT. I hope the animation team does one for "Red Barchetta" next.
For sure, that's one were the story's already provided for and there'd be plenty of action.
"The Camera Eye" could be EPIC!
The Camera Eye or Red Barchetta definitely. But anything else with this great animation and subtle humor chock full of references I'd be happy with.
I agree!!!
I've never seen this video, how freaking cool
How can a 40 year old song get better after listening to it 20 million times? THIS !!
holy shit... 40 fucking years...
Well, lets see. Having been about 13 when their first album came out and never missing or disliking anything on any album and seeing every live tour from Signals on, I can clearly tell you that waiting over a year for the u-toob algorithm to get this in front of my eyes only made it .... long over due delayed gratification. I want every album animated like this so I can relive all these classics in a fresh new way.
"Pure *'RUSH* 'n Roll', man! ... And the very first time I heard *'TOM SAWYER'* - the Meanest Metal Masterpiece of all time! ... but not before air-drumming myself almost to exhaustion to it (back then, of which I still do from time-to-time, but now only in my bedroom closet) - I just 'lost it' in my _pants!_ ... and then had to get into the shower! ... _'Drums! - _*_Neil Peart!'_* ... May he now Rest In Peace with Tom Sawyer! ... [?!?] ... Now I'm crying!"
I am not a real pilot, I just play one on my pc. I landed here (pun intended) cause I was flying into Toronto on MSFS 2020 , I tuned into the VOR for YYZ and listened to the morse code identifier. I thought to myself, that sounds like a Rush song. Hey , that's YYZ !! Wait a minute.. After 40 years of jamming to this song I never knew where YYZ came from. Today I finally put two and two together.
This is so killer, love the Alex and Geddy cameo at the end!!
their humor kills me 🤣 amazing!
RUSH = CLASS
"Yyz? What the heck does THAT mean?"
@@jdmensing YYZ is the IATA airport identification code of Toronto Pearson International Airport.
@@curtischen6613 yes, I know, thanks. I put that in quotes as I was quoting Alex's security guard at the end of the clip.
This song never gets old. If anyone you know doubts how unbelievable RUSH is play this song for them.
Yeah, I've done exactly that once or twice, get's-em every time!! One of my younger black friends was like, "OK, Steve, ya got me beat, that was epic" 😝😝
I was 17 when this album came out , senior year of high school , I was still in awe of Permanent Waves , Thank you God for this band ......
Same here! Incredible works!
@Bringette Awnn South-Young High Knoxville TN
84 here, we listened to RUSH all the time, still love the music.
Just a couple years older. I wore out this cassette. Many fond memories.
18 now and I love them!
Rush has an uncanny ability to make the hairs on my arms stand up with guitar and rhythm. Alex just screams and moans with his playing while Neil and Geddy give such perfect counterpoint and timing. They always sounded like 15 guys instead of 3 in sheer size. I could probably paint the back cover of 2112 from memory and I have been a huge fan since the beginning. Thank you for every note!
I've never gotten over how much sound comes from just three guys. Longtime fan here too, but not quite from the beginning. My first Rush album was 2112 (on 8-track, just to show how old I am). They had me from that iconic opening swoooosh.
Love the Bag Man gag for Alexs head
Beyond perfection, the way Neil would have insisted. Rush will always define my love of music.
thanks for the soundtrack of my life. from 1981 onwards.
Ditto
1979
Johnny Five O's in the house! LOL! (internet can be a very small, very cool place. LOL!) ok, internet, carry on....
Rush high pitch voice awesome with guitars and drums infact 90% of my favorite 80's guitar rifts come from Rush
@@jasonlacroix6083 keep rocking man
I love when Neil says "It is a good day when I can play YYZ well".
During the pause at 2:48, Neil would chuck his stick 20 ft in the air and catch in perfect timing to resume the song.
Truly the Greatest Drummer ever
That’s your opinion..and as such, totally worthless.
@@williamwilson6499In concerts he actually did so idk what’s ur talking about
@@Linus91208 Should have been obvious that my comment was meant for your “Truly the Greatest Drummer ever” claim.
Update: Just realized I responded to some random Karen and not the OP.
@@williamwilson6499how much Reddit karma do you have?
@@csgarbage188 Reddit karma? Is that something middle schoolers talk about?
62 and still rocking to rush
*41 years later.......it never gets old♥ I only wished this included Neil's drum solo.🎵🎶 RIP Professor🙏*
I'm American, but I flew out of YYZ for my first ever international trip several years ago. The entire time I was in the terminal I couldn't stop thinking about this song.
How am I so lucky, to have listened to this for the last 4 decades? I was 13 when this came out, and it's the reason (like millions of others) why I started playing drums. Now this. A tear in my eye.
I was also 13 when this came out!
I'm one decade short of that, but rush was (and is) the pinnacle to reach toward when I started playing guitar. guys like malmsteen were fascinating, but rush was the whole package.
I also was 13 when I heard this for the first time
Even though this is a small inaccuracy, 2:25 shows Alex Lifeson soloing with the Howard Roberts Fusion when in reality, he used a Hentor Sportscaster for the solo.
OH.
MOVING PICTURES.
LIKE FILM.
BUT ALSO
THEYRE LITERALLY MOVING PICTURES-
When you see that fragment its kind of satisfactory
Without a doubt, this is a masterpiece.
I cannot believe this song is released in 1981.
Makes me feel old also, wishing Neil was still here....🥲🥲 Best percussionist the world has ever produced.....
This song is more than 40 years old, and it still sounds a lot better than any of the new 'music' being played on the radio today.
You do realise that that's exactly what someone older than you would have said about 'their' music, comparing it to Rush, and dismissing the latter? Also, I highly doubt you've heard ALL new music enough to say this is better than "any" of it.
Why not just enjoy the song instead of using it as a vehicle to shit on music you happen not to like even though others do?
mad mad
This was the first Rush song I ever heard. Christmas of '83. Been a fan ever since. Rip "The New Guy".
In my opinion this is the greatest song of all times
so incredibly glad that they focus on the bass as well as the drums and guitar. Brings a smile to my face as a bassist.
That's all they had
The bass is *chef’s kiss
Yeah but both Neil and Ged could make an octopus look quite limited
I was playing this video in my garage with the door open, and a 5 year old coasts up on his bike and says "We have this song."
I assume he's heard his dad play it in a playlist, maybe once.
Then the kid says "It's called YYZ."
Now I need to find out who in the neighborhood is out-parenting me!
it's one of the tracks on the Guitar Hero games
@@dave29339 Okay, that makes sense. It also means I might still be the best dad in the neighborhood.
@@dave29339 i highly doubt a 5 year old has played Guitar Hero 2, assuming theyre 5 in 2022, they were born in 2017. that game came out in 2006
@@davjags The parents would be playing it.
Awesome neighborhood!
Every bar of Moving Pictures is sheer perfection....YYZed indeed.
Happy Birthday, Geddy Lee! 🎉
This song should replace "O' Canada 🇨🇦 " as the national anthem of Canada.
If there was ever any question about how good Geddy Lee is as a bassist, this should be all you need to know!
Just about my favorite instrumental of all time.
Just when I thought the perfect idea for a yyz video wouldn't be possible, this showed up and blew me away
Mark of a Classic Rock Band...cant name a bad song ever made by the RUsh
3 true masters of their instruments.
So many Easter Eggs. The Bag's appearance had me howling with laughter.
Yes, the day got better. Nobody plays like Rush. Amazing.
My favorite instrumental song from Rush that really shows Geddy's talent on the bass but Alex and Neil are great as well.Here's to Rush!!🍻🍻
i am so obsessed with this song it’s CRAZY. i love it sm
Legitimately one of the very few instrumental only songs I will listen to over and over again and jam to just as hard as the first time I heard it.
Also, I love how this animation is literally just giving context to the album cover. It took me like a good 3 rewatches before I realized that 😂
Because we're here.
Forever rolling the bones with the 3 wise men of rock
🤘
Man rush are timeless. This song has helped me reach more destinations than I'd like to admit.
To a long time Rush fan, everything was there and it was great. This made me smile, thanks Ged & Alex!
Animation for their playing is exceedingly well done
2:10 beautiful bass solo
" Some music just isn't good voiceless "
This masterpiece:
The inside jokes for the hardcore fans are amazing. I especially loved when they put The Bag over Alex's head.
Please, explain this to me?
rush is the ultimate band
Farewell to Kings Cinderella man
Im getting beatles rock band vibes with the animation
Did watcher the Intro to Persona 5 it’s identical
I'm playing this in the drums for grade 8 I love this song!
love it!! watched it in class and drummed on my desk the whole time LOL
One of my favourite songs to sing
The instruments alone had a lot to say lol
This video is a buffet for the ears AND the eyes.
i just love that this music video was made in 2022 for a song made in 1981, also it's kinda hard to believe this song came out 1981 haha
How anyone can listen to this song and not head bob, air guitar, or air drum at least a little is beyond me! Love it.
Love this, well done to all at Fantoons , loving the appearance of "The Bag" and even squealed when I heard Geddy and Alex at the end.
RIP Neil Peart you may be gone but your talent will not be forgotten 🙏 😢
ya know it wasn’t till I saw this, that I realized it’s YYZ because that’s the Toronto airport code. Now I know why the west jet tickets stood out to me
to whoever made that you're very talented you should make a feature-length movie and I'll be the star in it
In the words of Tuco Salamanca:
“TIGHT, TIGHT TIGHT YO.”
Sounds otherwordly on crystal meth ;)
I can’t wait!! What a surprise to see on my RUclips home page!!
Came for the Guitar Hero memories- stayed for the hard-driving rock and awesome animation
Queens of the stone age bit this 🤘🇮🇪
Love the hidden morse code throughout the song. My cousin is teaching me morse!!!
That was Geddy and Alex talking as the officers at the end!!!!!! So cool to hear there voices again.
Video brought a freshness to this song.
Love it, only did a cover of YYZ a few weeks back and stuck it on youtube channel but no one watched it as not a patch on the real deal....been following Rush since 1980 and still not bored....
All right so give us the link so we can go see the video

I love how they put "the bag" on Alex Lifeson!
“YYZ? some term for marijuana” lol you made my day better! Thank you and long live Rush! 🔥😃
No, it's a Morse code used in Canada airports
Best Instrumental song ever!!! loving it. Awesome base line too
Nope
Toronto Pearson Airport likes this instrument
Every time I hear this song, I just hear Fred Durst vocals over it
damn man.....
this record is legend for a reason
even though it's not MY personal #1.... the utter JAMness cannot BE denied
This song sounds like coming back home after a long trip
Yeah, in case people don't know, YYZ is the code for Pearson International Airport in Toronto, the worst disaster of an airport known to mankind.
@Jim Gray I've been there many times (it's pretty much the only real connection to the outside world YYT has) and I never really understood the hate. I've never run into any problems there, and it always represents either an adventure ahead or being able to return home and unwind.
the video that we never knew we needed, making everyone's day better
That's amazing...and I love how Alex and Geddy provided the voices. Love all those guys. Great job Fantoons!!!
Whilst I know the actual reason for the name of the song being the IATA code for an airport in Toronto, I always had another read on the title "YYZ".
Being American born, but growing up in England, Z was one of those letters everyone insisted I pronounced wrong. "Zed" here, instead of Zee. Then I learned of a third, "Izzard" a more archaic form of the letter.
In more recent years, my head bridged the gap between this third form, and "YYZ" during a discussion of whether "Zed" or "Zee" was intended. Thus, "Why-Why-izzard" or perhaps "Wizzard" (thanks Terry Pratchett) got stuck as an unofficial and personal third name for the song in my head
I’m so glad Rush has redeemed themselves from their original reputation of less than quality music videos. These new additions are absolutely stupendous and well-deserved.
Oh my. What an unexpected, yet welcome surprise. This will make my day!
