    Rule #1 when covering a song: make it your own. Mission accomplished. That was awesome.

      I was about to comment similarly. We don't need another "cover" that imitates Rush 80%. A new spin is refreshing. I like the jazzy versions of this song by Brad Mehldau and Alex Skolnick too - worth checking out.

    Done exactly right. No riff sections were cut or dumbed down. Increased the sophistication level rather than a decrease. Added their own style in a way that shows self-respect, rather than self-parody. They did all of the 'do's I can think for a re-styling a song like this, and none of the don'ts.
