I always thought this and Stick it Out were (2) of their better ones in their mid/later works. I thought Counterparts was fantastic. Others seem to disagree.
Agree! I always appreciated rush, but my true obsession blossomed about the time clockwork angels came out. Counterparts was one of the LAST albums I explored, and wow….. what an album… the first 3 songs alone blew Me away, and it just didn’t stop
EAZYED420 I know right! We've got 20 solid albums from each one of them producing a different sound from the last. Rush is the best ever and I'm extremely glad the world had 42 years with them before they called it quits.
They have the recognition and attention from millions of fans and also many many fellow musicians from different genres 👍🏽 That's good enough for them they said. The R&R hall of fame induction was just icing on the cake.
Eric Bolt no need to be sorry for being bang on the money. Not only superb musicians they are not up their own backside concerned about their image, only making music for their loyal fans. You know if you saw them in the street they would stop and have a chat. (Neil might not though). I’ve loved them ever since I heard Bastille Day.
Wanna know how I know Rush is the greatest band ever? I can start my night listening to Beneath, Between and Behind, La Villa Strangiato, and Madrigal and then end it with Animate and Test For Echo. I never get tired of their music. So much amazing music and so brilliantly played and composed. Total geniuses
karp1941 I recommend listening to it with headphones and you will really get how well it is aranged. The studio version works best, but any will do. 😎
What more do you need or can ask for? This song is spot on from beginning to end. If this doesn't make you want to drive fast and slap a steering wheel there must be something wrong. One of my top five Rush songs of all time!
trying to comprehend, understand, or break down why this band is so brilliant is like trying to figure out our sun by staring at it with your naked eyes.
Absolute perfection. My son and I will have the privilege of seeing them in Chicago June 12, 2015. I've heard nothing but rave reviews of their R40 tour.
Me & my husband are Rush buddies & on the R40 Tour we went to 11 shows. We knew that if it was to be their last tour, we wanted to make it the best. We previously attended several shows each tour starting with VT Tour in 2001. We were not disappointed ‘ although we miss seeing them, they left us with so many awesome memories & we have made hundreds of Rush friends throughout the years. Thank you Dirk, Lerxst & Pratt. You truly are the “3 Kings”!
PURE GENIUS !! THESE 3 HAVE TAKEN ME A PLACE I CANNOT EXPLAIN IN MUSIC FOR MOST MY LIFE! THEY MAY HAVE RETIRED BUT RUSH WILL GO ON FOREVER! THANK YOU GEDDY,ALEX AND NEAL !!!
that bass is so elemental and reminds me of the idea of compact efficiency as you get older and gain experience knowing that it's not how much you do but how efficient you are.
RIP Scott Snell. Went to the 'Counterparts' tour with him, in Dallas. Primus opened for RUSH. Great show. Scott passed in 2009, RIP sucks, getting old.
As a casual Rush fan, my brother suggested I listen to this song back in 93 I believe. I was completely blown away how good this song was. Has been in every playlist I’ve had, ever since.
Love Counterparts and Test For Echo to be quite honest. They went back to the rock style (of that era, kinda like their debut) but no one really cared. Didn't have the pop potential like Moving Pictures. But there's some awesome workmanship in both albums and the lyrics really hit home on them both. Just love it.
Seen Rush several times. Newbies to a Rush show are always looking for the other 3 guys as its absolutely mindblowing that only three guys can make soooooo much music with the intensity of getting hit in the head with a wrecking ball! Quite possibly the best band ever !
I have this song on repeat....can't get enough of this song. The power behind it is just too amazing! So perfect! Definitely one of my favorites if not my favorite. There's something about that song. It influenced me in my writing. Perfection!!!!!!
I've seen Rush at least a dozen times going all the way back to the mid 80s. I have also been to probably 75 other concerts. I can say, without any shadow of a doubt, that *THE BEST* sounding concerts I have been to have been Rush, Iron Maiden, and Pink Floyd. Kiss *SUCKED* out loud. CONSTANT feedback, fade-ins and outs (guy working the board didn't have a clue). Metallica was good, Queensryche was great, Def Leppard was good, but Rush, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, and OH YEAH, Nine Inch Nails sounded FANTASTIC. Rush has always been known (and they call themselves) as a "live band". It is amazing to me just how close the concerts are to the actual recordings. Yet, you can clearly tell that there is no "lip-syncing" going on, and that they are actually playing. They are truly some of the greatest and most gifted artists on the planet. Three Canadian dudes just kicking ass with near perfection and such a "full" sound every time, even 40 years later. Amazing. Pink Floyd, while still one of my favourite concerts, had something like 15-20 people on stage! Rush has THREE. LOVE IT!
I always listened them. Im young, just 17 years old but my dad made me discover them. My favorite band ever! Counterparts is my favorite album. Rest in peace N.P, you will always be one of my biggest idols.
This was the first album I ever was waiting anxiously for the release- I had discovered Rush in high school, went to the Roll the Bones tour, and was in college when I heard it was coming soon. Couldn't wait for class to get over to rush down to the store and buy it! Closed the portable CD player, made sure the car tape adapter was working, and we cranked it up only to have to hit the back button and listen to the intro again, shocked at the epicness! That next year would have worn the CD out if such a thing were possible. :)
Son: "Dad, what does it sound like when three of the greatest musicians to ever live get together and Make music?" Dad: "Here Son, watch this video..."
Love the comment, so f'n true. Easy to imitate but near impossible to replicate EXACTLY the intensity, sense of timing, and creative abilities he has. Let alone compose this time after time after time after time after time... 40 years of genius, thank you NP and thank you RUSH; without equivalent, ever...
Listen to Neil's 'sleighbells' effect on the 2/4 on the Fat Kat pedal with his left foot from 2:58. And then through Alex's blistering solo. As Emanuel Steward said about "the fight of the century," Gatti-Ward 1, "you know, you dream about [shows] like this, but very seldom do they live up to the expectations. This is more than you can even dream of."
R30 was a fully awesome tour. One of their best. Animate likewise one of their very best compositions and performance pieces...quintessential rush tune, on so many levels.
Ok this is my favorite rush song and I really don't know why. There's something about it and I can't fathom it. I know there are other great ones and I've been a rush fan for forever but they are not human in this, that's all I have to say.
TheClutchman32 I think it's the relentless sound. Neil's intro on the album is fucking mind-blowing. One of my favorite things to do when I'm on my bike is to cue this track up to blast through my helmet speakers just as I'm hitting an onramp. It's a rush, pun most definitely intended.
It's my favorite RUSH song as well. For me it's just the power of this song. All 3 guys are just killing it!! Behind 2112 & Moving Pictures, Counterparts is my next favorite RUSH album
Music is the string that binds us together...and Neil was the most glorious binder!!!!..precision, perfection, and artistic talent!!!!!..this is my fav song of Rush..along with Bravado..Neil said he thought Animate was their best song!!!...I agree!..thank you Neil for So much love and emotion👏👏👏
For the greatest band in history ... ever... my humble opinion ... my God ... 3 amazing talents, sometimes overshadowed by the Genius of the super talented Mr. Neil Peart (perhaps because the drums have always been my love and I found Neil's playing exquisite !!!) but Mr. Geddy Lee and Mr. Alex Lifeson were true maestros in their own right ... A great talent has been lost and what a painful shame ...but I guess that's life ... I Thank you RUSH for all your extraordinary music ... you have been with me since 1981 ... wow... time flies ..... you have been my company... you have been my sorrow... you have been my helping hand and at times my saving hand ... Thank you for your music and your legacy... it has been one of the greatest memories of my Life .. I am truly grateful for being able to have discovered your music long ago .... by the way the slow tempo on this version ... me likes :)
R30 was a damn awesome tour Blistering performance in the U.K. And the crowd went wild Best concert I've ever been to See Rush several times but that was truly the bomb 83 was pretty special too Keep it 2️⃣1️⃣1️⃣2️⃣
It has been a few months - no Rush. I was over due. Went searching in the collection, have over 250 live Rush shows. Found the 1994 Counterparts Tour - Philly. Listened to this song raw and powerful. Counterparts was the best since the early 80's, and underrated. I miss my band. I am hoping that they do a festival at some point. After 1997, with Neil's issues (family) they showed up five years later. Maybe, just maybe Neil physically can do it again. You never know, miracles do happen.
I've been to several concerts, including Snakes & Planes here in NorCal 2007 but Counterparts in Pensacola 1993 rocked my world as the most enjoyable time of my life. Miss you Neil, I know you're rocking Gods 'Concert Hall' right now. Love to Alex and Geddy, best music on the radio or in my stack, period.
Oh wait. It all started in Pensacola with Ozzy's No More Tours Tour in 1992 where I got the most valuable concert tee which has been worn only a few times and still looks brand new. 1993 was Def Leppard in Tallahassee and whoever came to Spinnaker or Club La Villa. Rush was in Pensacola on January 24th 1994, my 33rd year.
Destemidos, ousados e competentes.... Avessos as imposições da midia, esse caras revolucionaram a musica orquestral com pitadas originais de traços progressivo- contemporâneo. Facil de ouvir......difícil de tocar. 40 anos de RUSH !

This song is such a banger, I'm surprised it isn't included more in conversations about Rush's best songs
I always thought this and Stick it Out were (2) of their better ones in their mid/later works. I thought Counterparts was fantastic. Others seem to disagree.
@@jrock2264 FWIW you certainly have my agreement.
Counterparts is my favorite album 🤷🏾♂️
Almost all of the Counterparts' songs are excellent!!! I heard this album 2.000.000 times!
Absolutely they kill it with this song, late '50s during this performance wow
This song was Neil's favorite.
Thank you for being part of several moments of my life.
R.I.P
Yes it was!!!!!!...I love Bravado also!👏👏👏
wow that is awesome to know! , this has been one of my all time faves forever
I didn't know that but from when the album was released it become my favorite too nice to find your comment! Rip Neil
I didn't realize that. Was that from a lyrical or musical perspective?
@@tonymuse I believe that musically. These lyrics are amazing.
The sound of the drums is just pure perfection!
Glad I saw them often just a perfect song
Neil is amazing in this performance
❤
I love counterparts !!!! Such a hidden jem
Agree, an absolute gem
Their last true great album I think.
Agree! I always appreciated rush, but my true obsession blossomed about the time clockwork angels came out. Counterparts was one of the LAST albums I explored, and wow….. what an album… the first 3 songs alone blew
Me away, and it just didn’t stop
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 Snakes and Arrows is amazing
@@ParticlePhysics321 It really is, yeah. Differen to counterparts, but just as many really strong songs on there. Love them both.
The guitar sounds insane! Underated best rush song!
Yea, Lifeson at his Best
IMO
RIP Neal... Thank you for living. You and Rush gave so much.
I dont know why people listen to other bands, Honestly! Its all right here
EAZYED420 I know right! We've got 20 solid albums from each one of them producing a different sound from the last. Rush is the best ever and I'm extremely glad the world had 42 years with them before they called it quits.
I DON’T listen to any one else!!! Rush has it all & I am never bored.
Diversity?
The Best
👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔🙋
RUSH is the greatest 3 piece band ever formed. None of them get the attention and recognition they deserve. Long live RUSH!
They have the recognition and attention from millions of fans and also many many fellow musicians from different genres 👍🏽
That's good enough for them they said.
The R&R hall of fame induction was just icing on the cake.
Lol they get the recognition it's just that we are all too busy listening to them to come and speak about them.
Never be another drummer like neil
I love comment sections of Rush videos. They’re always so positive!
We love Rush like our family, like coming home listening to them ) x
One of the best rock songs ever.
Yes!!!!!!!!it was Neil's favorite song also!
This is probably the best song ever.
Certainly one of my favourites.
Genuinely of my favorites ever
One of the best Rush songs. It has every element that makes them great.
+Spencer Morgan might be my favorite,been listening to them since '79...too many to choose from. :)))
Spencer Morgan Definitely at the top of their game on this track.
It was Neil's favorite song also!
Neil said he thought this was their best song!!!!.I agree!!..love you Neil!!!bye bye😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
2:23 Ged is clearly playing the bass, singing and playing the keyboards with his feet simultaneously. I can’t even imagine. 👏
That bass is badass!
This is the greatest rock band of all time. Sorry.
No need to apologize for speaking truth
Don’t be sorry, you are CORRECT!! 🤘🤘
Don’t be sorry. It’s true!
Eric Bolt no need to be sorry for being bang on the money. Not only superb musicians they are not up their own backside concerned about their image, only making music for their loyal fans. You know if you saw them in the street they would stop and have a chat. (Neil might not though). I’ve loved them ever since I heard Bastille Day.
He wasn’t ‘apologising’; that’s just how Canadians end their sentences.
Love Alex's facial expressions during the solo, he is so into it!!
When I listen to rush, it just makes me want to work harder at my job, be a better human being, that says a lot
Every part perfection, drums, bass, guitar, voice, lyrics.
Wanna know how I know Rush is the greatest band ever? I can start my night listening to Beneath, Between and Behind, La Villa Strangiato, and Madrigal and then end it with Animate and Test For Echo. I never get tired of their music. So much amazing music and so brilliantly played and composed. Total geniuses
Totally get it. Never gets old.
Arguably one of the best arranged songs Rush preforms, well at least I think it is.
Love them or hate them you can't deny Rush.
WOW !! What a great song !! I just found it on Pandora !!!
karp1941 I recommend listening to it with headphones and you will really get how well it is aranged. The studio version works best, but any will do. 😎
will do , thank you !!!
Neil thought this was their best song ever!!!!!...I agree!the👏👏👏thank you for your good taste as well!
It was Neil's favorite song!!!!!!bye bye Neil🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔
R.I.P Neil Peart 😢
🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏thank you for your gift!!!!love you forever
this song is insane...Rush...what a great band. No BS with these guys. Just straight up musicians.
I miss this band. This fellowship.
What more do you need or can ask for? This song is spot on from beginning to end. If this doesn't make you want to drive fast and slap a steering wheel there must be something wrong. One of my top five Rush songs of all time!
Couldn't agree more!
Doesnt make me want to. Doesnt mean anything is wrong though.
trying to comprehend, understand, or break down why this band is so brilliant is like trying to figure out our sun by staring at it with your naked eyes.

Bob Peterlin June 14 for me, outside of Detroit!
Excellent, drithligh. We can compare notes.
This Sunday for me in Tampa!

that bass is so elemental and reminds me of the idea of compact efficiency as you get older and gain experience knowing that it's not how much you do but how efficient you are.
This is the song that turned me from a casual Rush fan to a more diehard one, so good
One of 5he best drummers of all time. RIP to the goat.
Neil doesn't even sweat... such a genius.
His kit has a built in fan
Chorofonfilo He gets tendinitis :(
You're right! I never noticed it before, good catch. I'm sure Neil rehearsed this into his routine...genius is right on. Lol
The Maestro never does.
I believe this was the first song after intermission on the R30 Tour.
A banda de rock mais completa que já pisou nesta terra. ❤️
Neil gently dominating those drums…
Is song shaped and molded me. Neil, you are a master songwriter
It was Neil's favorite song also!👏👏👏
One of my favorite RUSH tunes, it just Rocks !!!
RIP Scott Snell. Went to the 'Counterparts' tour with him, in Dallas. Primus opened for RUSH. Great show. Scott passed in 2009, RIP sucks, getting old.
Craig Manning I was at that show. Miss Reunion Arena. Sorry about your friend.
Rip peart...be with god, genius
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
😢
In my time teenage years, i adored Jimy Hendrix and other, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, BlackSabbath, Free, Uriah Heep ...
NEIL PEART. ONE OF THE GREATEST DRUMMERS THE WORLD WILL EVER SEE & ONE OF THE BEST BANDS(along with YES & KING CRIMSON) THE UNIVERSE WILL EVER KNOW.
As a casual Rush fan, my brother suggested I listen to this song back in 93 I believe. I was completely blown away how good this song was. Has been in every playlist I’ve had, ever since.
Yes they are.... Saw them 19 times and every show was a master class in music 🎵🎶🎵🎶
Can't get tired to listen it over and over again. It's a powerfull song. Dums groove are simple but just perfect in this song.
Omg..they are brilliant..miss them. Their music is perfection. Whenever I have a bad day..Just listening to them..just makes me happy..
ich war live dabei und 1 Jahr später auch in Berlin ...... einfach nur genial !!!!
THIS SNARE'S SOUND IS SOOO AMAZING
Counterparts is a solid album ...probably their best in this raw rock style
Love Counterparts and Test For Echo to be quite honest. They went back to the rock style (of that era, kinda like their debut) but no one really cared. Didn't have the pop potential like Moving Pictures. But there's some awesome workmanship in both albums and the lyrics really hit home on them both. Just love it.
I didn't really get it at the time, but I sure do now.
Neil said in the "Lighted Stage" documentary that he thinks this is the best song, tempo wise, that the group ever put out.
Sorry, but Rush had their best sondwriting in the last Millennium.
Vapor Trails, “Hold my beer.”
Seen Rush several times.
Newbies to a Rush show are always looking for the other 3 guys as its absolutely mindblowing that only three guys can make soooooo much music with the intensity of getting hit in the head with a wrecking ball!
Quite possibly the best band ever !
Wow...I could watch that a thousand times. Very cool.
They should have released this as a single. Stick it Out was okay, but this was far better.
Touche! Yes indeed, top of my fav list S Kir
Agree👍🏼
S Kir their music was never about singles anyway
Cut to the Chase would have been an even better single.
Wait, this wasn't a single?! I always assumed that it was, because it seems to be the most well-known song from Counterparts.
RUSH simplesmente a melhor banda do mundo!Sonsera
even people that dont speak Porto know what you mean.
Yep
@@johnnynephrite6147 haha 🤘🏼🤘🏼✌
Three great musicians playing perfectly. Great song. One of a countless number of Rush classics. Love them.
The more I listen to them, the more i admire and love em. it just gets better each time. True music!!!
How can anyone be that busy playing bass and also focus on singing at the same time??? Utterly amazing!!!
that's what I call music!! the only band that I care to listen to these days..
RIP Neil Peart
Decanse em Paz Neil: te agradeço muito pelo que fez pelo nosso amado Rock n Roll.
First time i listen to this song...im in love
Its a rock opera, excellence, the one, the only, RUSH
Wow, simply wow!! What a great performance!
Good God what a driving song!
I have this song on repeat....can't get enough of this song. The power behind it is just too amazing! So perfect! Definitely one of my favorites if not my favorite. There's something about that song. It influenced me in my writing. Perfection!!!!!!
Rush has released songs that are epic, beautiful, and even profound...but "Animate" is one of their songs that is straight up BADASS.
Unpopular opinion...
Counterparts is their best album!
JUST LOVE THE BEGINNING BEAT...GET IT NEIL !!!!❤

Give Coheed and Cambria a shot if you get the chance to see them.
Scott Will, Except when they are wasted, which is very often.
1IamBGC Couldn’t have said it better myself!
I always listened them. Im young, just 17 years old but my dad made me discover them. My favorite band ever! Counterparts is my favorite album.
Rest in peace N.P, you will always be one of my biggest idols.
Counterparts is one of my favorites too! Every album of theirs has some great songs. Wish I had taken my kids to see a RUSH show.
Animate Was Played ON The 40TH ANNIVERSARY LIVE TOUR
This was the first album I ever was waiting anxiously for the release- I had discovered Rush in high school, went to the Roll the Bones tour, and was in college when I heard it was coming soon.

Son: "Dad, what does it sound like when three of the greatest musicians to ever live get together and Make music?" Dad: "Here Son, watch this video..."
I never seem to get sick of this
Dont ever try to drum to Neil....your ego will be destroyed.
Love the comment, so f'n true. Easy to imitate but near impossible to replicate EXACTLY the intensity, sense of timing, and creative abilities he has. Let alone compose this time after time after time after time after time... 40 years of genius, thank you NP and thank you RUSH; without equivalent, ever...
and he writes the lyrics too!!
I am not worthy to even try, but dream maybe.
I love how in the rare interviews he gives, he shrugs his lyrical genius and undeniable talent at the drums off. Typical Canadian humility.
Hey, I was in the first 2 rows of air drummers at every RUSH concert I ever went to, and I kept up with Neil! :)
Listen to Neil's 'sleighbells' effect on the 2/4 on the Fat Kat pedal with his left foot from 2:58. And then through Alex's blistering solo.

R30 was a damn awesome tour
Blistering performance in the U.K. And the crowd went wild
Best concert I've ever been to
See Rush several times but that was truly the bomb
83 was pretty special too
Keep it 2️⃣1️⃣1️⃣2️⃣
Great song!! So much power..
An amazing song.
I have been to hundreds of gigs over my lifetime but never saw Rush and oh how I regret that
Bummer.
After you have seen Rush, nothing else is any good.
I came this day from Lewiston Idaho, where my sisters lives back to Frankfurt and I saw this awesome show, but I was so damn tired. Rush forever.
One of my favourite Rush songs, Neil you are sorely missed buddy
goosebumps it so good!!!
drumming is insane! 4:20-4:22 mental stuff!

I didn't realize I posted this, was right before Neil passed. RIP...
Lifetime soundtrack! Rush is pure perfection.
am so sad tbh we lost Neil, why dont we live forever, wheres the justice.... Thank you Rush of beeing a part of my life
Som fodástico!!!! Linha de baixo maravilhosa!
Que banda. Um melhor que outro. Três profissionais de alto nível
Unfuckin real! The craziest thing about this band is not one person could be replaced by someone else.
Beautiful guitarr of the Alex Lyfeson.... beautiful.... Rock N Roll Forever..... FOREVER.....

A melhor banda de todos os tempos...
RUSH !
Sem dúvida !
Destemidos, ousados e competentes.... Avessos as imposições da midia, esse caras revolucionaram a musica orquestral com pitadas originais de traços progressivo- contemporâneo. Facil de ouvir......difícil de tocar. 40 anos de RUSH !
Luís Almeida Falou tudo eles são os bethoveens, Chopin ,Pagannini da nossa geração pode ter certeza !
+Luís Almeida rush is grate and I am a rush fan
+Luís Almeida Essa banda é fodastica!!! viajo no som!!!
Alex’s guitar work is fantastic!
Gen Z-er here who grew up with a Rush addict as my father . This is my absolute favourite song.
This is a KICK ASS song by these boys! Love this live version of it!
