I am of the class of 87. I was 17. 51 now. I would sit and stare at the album cover and jacket. Then I would stare at the speakers and could feel a presence... wisdom of this album. Then I saw them live early the Ottawa civic center. Just over the Canadian border for us way hip high schoolers. RUSH ....WAY AHEAD OF TIME. ....MAYBE THEY ARE TIME TRAVELERS. .....HMMMMM
Thank you for doing all these great lyric videos of Rush - Wife and I are huge Rush fans, and I have a slight hearing disability and need the lyrics to fully enjoy songs. So bless you for taking the time to put together this awesome package!
.....(GRIN!!) It was March of 1976, I was in the 12th grade , and had been learning the guitar for about 35 DAYS ....(!!! ROOKIE, for sure...!!), Being I was already a serious RUSH mega-fan, I decided that this was going to be the 1st whole song I learned to play, memorize "lick for lick" and be able to play it through, all :16mins or so of it , I figured it'd take me 2 or 3 weeks time, TOPS......!! (??? LOL, What's the saying that the young often have the IQ of their age in yrs...??? LOL), WELL, BACK IN REALITY , (LOL), it took me 4 EVER to learn to play it AND memorize it both, to where it sounded good when I played , BUT, I did just that , & it took JUST SHY of 8 months time, with daily practice !! Finger-tip lacerations from over-practice, frustration, (LOL), getting mad at everything and then feeling STUPID for being mad about it , what an adventure it was, but want to know a secret, folks...???About 1 yr after I started, I got a surprise chance to play at a club LIVE that a friends band was at for 3 wks, and the minute I started playing the song, and saw it was being received well and the crowd loved it, W O W, it didn't MATTER to me how long it had taken, PERIOD , I was HOOKED....!!! RUSH rocks still now , after 40 years in time......!!!! Chef David, Thursday, 1/09/14, 6:46p.m....................//////
I hear it's extremely difficult to play. I started in 1980, and still can't play. I've tried my butt off for 40 years, and 4 nice guitars, I'm on my 3rd Ovation, love em. Wish I could play them better.
So in high school we read "Anthem" by Ayn Rand and thanks to being a HUUUUGE Rush fan, I was able to write a stellar essay about it LOL....2112 was a whole lot more entertaining than the book (which actually was pretty good too).
dude for an essay that we had to write about in my english class I referenced the song and the teacher gave me 5 extra credit points because I mentioned Rush. Cool teachers, man.
leo rincon Yeah. Campus Supervisors at my middle school are rush fans, so when I'm getting lunch, I see one of them and we just start chatting about Rush...lol. Got tour shirts from 1985-2007, and I'm gonna wear a bunch of them this school year! Also going to R40 August 1st, maybe the FINAL concert Rush does...
I mentioned Rush to my teacher, and my teacher said, “you must be a pot smoking hippie”,...probably because I smelled like weed,had extremely bloodshot eyes,had long hair,and a Rush shirt that had a big marijuana leaf on the front of it. I wish I remembered what happened to that shirt, because I have never seen any other Rush shirt like it.
When was that video posted. This one is from 2011, I think the 15 minute time limit was fairly new then. And I think removal of time limits only came maybe 2 years ago.
Yeah, and where are we now? Still think the blue team will save you from the red team? There are only two colors because the puppet master only has two hands.
Rush could have released Side 2 of this album containing nothing but Blue Whale mating calls and it still would have deserved to go multi-platinum.
Just when I thought I've seen the best RUclips comment of all time I come across this gem.
There's a side 2?

You must not understand.
The future is here.
And you don't care?
Instantly takes me back to 1987, aged 17. At 48 I feel so nostalgic, even at 98 I probably will be. Where did those precious years go? x
Time stand still!

It took me two weeks to learn to play it doing air guitar, I can't imagine how difficult can be with a real guitar... good job!!
My favorite song of ALL time.
See the dislike bar? no? That's because nobody can dislike this masterpiece.
This is one of our all-time favorites from the gentlemen from Canada!!
It's Rush Day and it's the end of the world, what a perfect day to listen to this album
My little sister was born on the exact day you posted this comment
Bro this comment is really a blast from the past

Awesome song and album by one of the greatest bands ever. Definitely the best three piece band. Either them or ZZ Top.
Kevin Gordon agree on tool being #2 trio..
Rush is tops,Primus to an extent
The greatest thing on the earth.
Just doesn't get any better!!
I left my old guitar in a cave behind a waterfall the other day... couldn't stay in tune very well... I wonder what will become of it???
Meh. It’s just another toy to help destroy the elder race of man. Don’t worry. We’ve taken care of everything now.
Miss you Danny! Happy birthday! Hope you & Neil having a flipping good time! 🎉❤….. put in a good word for me to Big J 🙏!
One of the baddest band of all time RUSH!!!!!
Gitchi Miigwetch, for helping me raise my children right. Lockdown 2021 is going to end up being an awesome experience. 🐺❤✌🤘
Very good I like Rush

All hail Rush x
Equality 7-2125 and Liberty 5-3000 approve.
Those awake in 2024 take heed....
Are they referring to the Vatican?
Fading out "Grand Finale" before the ship returns is Bad Form
Dude

15 minute time limit? Thass bullshit. I found a copy of "2112" in its entirety. It's so much better unbroken, cut into parts and LIVE!
When was that video posted. This one is from 2011, I think the 15 minute time limit was fairly new then. And I think removal of time limits only came maybe 2 years ago.

That is not interesting music.
Keep voting Republican and you’ll be there before 2112
No
Yeah, and where are we now? Still think the blue team will save you from the red team? There are only two colors because the puppet master only has two hands.

Stay out of my yard though!!
