10 Rush Tribute Bands in 10 Minutes (video #3)

[@1teamski]

The Singer from Mystic Rhythms has the closest similarity to Geddy's voice I have heard so far. Amazing. Boy, there are a lot of talented bands out there!

[@mikko2112]

Hello and good day! My name is Mikko and I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful compliment! I am humbled indeed!

Saw the Rush tribute project last year before the pandemic, it was great! Played for 3 1/2 hours, and they really nailed the sounds!

[@snowman8235]

Watched the Rush Tribute Project last night on KZbin and they played for 3 hours.Great Show.

[@Torgo1969]

I only joined during 2112 but they were outstanding. EDIT: Grabbed a ticket to see them in Detroit in June!

[@jolie7neige]

I watched as well, was outstanding! Best one I've seen from them yet.

[@santyrush]

I love all, the band trio from Australia at 4:30 have a great singer... Very good bands compilation.

[@johncrumpler9950]

There will never be another band like Rush. These guys were masters of their craft

[@johnmueller8737]

I’ve seen the Rush Tribute Project a number of times and they are Great! Thanks for putting together the list!

[@rushfan9thcmd]

Seen them a few times too. April 30 they are making up the rescheduled show from last year. Still have our tickets. Looking forward to a few more shows this year. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmKrlZiFdseWiKM

The best..hands down

[@OkBoomerG4mer]

Rush Project - HANDS DOWN. Showmanship. Sound. Chops. Nailed the whole sound. Perfection

[@gazzaka]

Awesome deep, dark, white, magic !!!

[@gmcirish1766]

Blown away by the amount of amazing "quality" Rush trubute bands are out there! Rush raised the bar and they Nailed It.

[@yyz3745]

Thanks for putting this together! Mystic Rhythms and Stage Left were already featured earlier (I know it's hard to keep track) but I'm happy to see RTP finally featured here - very well deserved.

[@deanwolfechannel]

Hard to find more good rush cover bands that play live- as all do in this video- and have decent sound recordings.

[@yyz3745]

@@deanwolfechannel That's true. Consider "Xanadoodz" from San Diego for the next compilation (if there's one).

Absolutely does 👍

Tyler Warren...is simply THE BEST

Animation was from Chicago. Chester was amazing on guitar. Jay on vocals/Bass. Dan on drums. Really miss seeing these guys play.

[@chrispetritsch1291]

They were all really good i reckon and i love that there's lots of Rush tribute bands out there.

[@edjones3390]

La Villa strangiato are great and so much fun on stage!

[@StageLeft2112]

Tks for remembering us Dean! Cheers from Brazil!

[@brendanward2257]

Congrats to all in these tribute bands thoughts are huge shoes to fill

[@tallrogers]

The Spirit of Rush from Atlanta's singer Vicki has a pretty authentic Geddy voice.

[@randelj]

The best of all these tribute bands is that we get to see live some of the good old songs that Rush left playing decades ago!

[@deanwolfechannel]

My criteria for this video was that the bands must perform live as tribute bands with at least one set of Rush songs, and the singer must resonate with genuine 'Geddy Lee-ness' at the very least in the clips that made the cut. I've noticed there are fewer good Geddy-like singers than there are Rush cover bands. If there are any I missed, do leave a link or info in the comment section, and I'll do another compilation! Enjoy!

[@HansMcGruber]

You missed YYnot and Lotus Land

[@deanwolfechannel]

@@HansMcGruber covered them in video one of this series. This is video 3.

[@HansMcGruber]

@@deanwolfechannel Ok, no indication this is part of a series

[@Quilterham]

Geddy and Alex...are they aware of this? Aware of the amount of musical inspiration they seeded all over? Sure they would be pleased and proud

[@MannyFontes1968]

You forgot the one band that in my opinion sounds really close to the real "Rush"...New World Men!!!

[@deanwolfechannel]

I got them in one of my other rush cover videos. See description for links to all 3

[@averagejoe5127]

I agree. New World Men is amazing.

[@RockinExperience]

ANIMATION!! The longest running Rush Tribute in the country. Started in 1987.

[@robertjakicic5878]

And let's not forget Lotus Land

[@Torgo1969]

They might be my fave, but all these other bands sound great also. I'd watch a livestream of any of these!

[@YedMan01]

Hello Mr. Wolfe, I found my way to the third video, and this one is excellent too. As a devout Rush fan, I really appreciate all three videos. Each one shows people keeping my favorite music alive 🎸🎸

[@deanwolfechannel]

I've got more planned!

[@YedMan01]

Great, I am subscribed

[@johnqpublic2013]

Wow, what about Lotus Land? I liked all of them because I know how much work they all put in.

[@deanwolfechannel]

they are in one of the others of this little series

[@donmeddows5612]

I know this is a little time since this video was put out but it's nice to see 2 of my favorite Rush tribute bands, Thunderhead The Rush Experience from my area St. Louis, seen them numerous times and The Rush Tribute Project that I seen for the 1st time last year and have tickets to see them again. They're both great bands!!

[@Rush714]

All were pretty good. It's going to be next to impossible to find another trio as precise as they are

[@anselmolopes9872]

I'm brazilian fan....Stage Left - A Rush Tribute Band is very gooooooodddddd ! hehehe

THUNDERHEAD IS THE CLOSEST THING YOULL EVER GET TO RUSH

H-Sur..., VIVA CHILE....., saludos desde Antofagasta...!!!!!!!!!

[@andycowie2110]

I've seen La Villa Strangiato a few times at Rush Eucon held in the UK, fantastic band. There are several Rush tribute bands in the UK, none featured here unfortunately however the very best tribute band I've seen are the UK 2112, absolutely spot on (sadly no longer together).

[@deanwolfechannel]

Rush con? I'd love to attend one sometime. What a great venue for a Rush cover band-

[@geddylee501]

Great video

[@deanwolfechannel]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@finscreenname]

Just goes to show there is nothing like the real Rush.

[@normmarcum2989]

New World…sings like Geddy, played like Neil!

[@scounter72]

A lot of Rush tribute acts fall short because they can't get the voice. Lots of really good likenesses here though. Nice collection.

[@deanwolfechannel]

exactly. It's so key. If I formed a rush cover band, the instrumentalist are easy to find, relatively speaking. Vocalists are another story.

[@javiermoretti1825]

I can't believe you didn't include the best tribute band: Lotus Land band.

[@mikemullen7948]

By far much better than any band mentioned here

[@mikemullen7948]

Lotus Land and YYNOT are by far the best. YYNOT also have 3 albums of their own

[@deanwolfechannel]

I Have one of YYNOT's albums on vinyl!

[@michaeljames1930]

No, Thunderhead is the best

[@musicmike1960]

The BEST tribute is by Lotus Land...

[@1960taylor]

All excellent. Look up YYNOT.

[@richardsorell490]

Rush tribute project I believe is the closest voice to Geddy I've seen and I've heard quite a few on you tube plus they stay true to the music

[@Finatic13]

RTP rules!

[@Harleyfunman]

Forgot Solar Federation from Harrisburg Pa

[@andyharman3022]

The singer for Mystic Rhythm is exceptional, and he doesn't seem to strain at all to hit the high notes, but his voice is too refined. Lacks the rough edge of Geddy Lee, and his vibrato is too smooth. Fantastic music. Leave it to Australia, the land of Bon Scott, to produce a singer that has the closest singing voice to early Geddy Lee.

[@CustomGames-wg9gv]

Bon Scott was born in Scotland

[@cosmicsman666]

Add moving pictures to this list.

[@Sturm347]

oooh I like lists! :D

[@PHLCoffeeSnob]

There's also YYNot from the USA

[@deanwolfechannel]

They are so good

@@deanwolfechannel You should check out Anthem live and Natural Science, their latest version- you'll know it's the right version when you see them in 4 split screens

[@staberdearth3130]

@@PHLCoffeeSnob Rocky Kuner of YYNOT was in the zone when she performed No One at the Bridge at the Sherman Theatre, East Stroudsburg, PA in March 2019. Look it up on KZbin. The best concert that I was at for all of 2019 and that included some stiff competition.

[@Finatic13]

YYNOT is not a tribute band. They will be the first to tell you that.

[@staberdearth3130]

@@Finatic13 YYNOT, Extremely high quality playing of original material. Sure, they play Rush songs. Two original material CD’s (so far) that deserve 5 stars hands down. I am somewhat surprised that they have not blown up yet but it could be due to Covid for now. I throughly enjoy the songs, the musicianship, the attitude, the commitment to high quality... and so on. Best concert I attended in 2019, hand downs and that was up against some rather notable other groups!

[@eschdaddy]

You can definitely tell which drummers take the time to tune their drums. Lesson for those gigging drummers... ALWAYS tune your drums.

THE new WORLD MAN BAND IS THE BEST OUT OF MONTREAL

New World Men. They’re great.

[@dandostover1763]

Look up Permanent Waves promo on youtube

[@YedMan01]

Why I asked my question for the quiz, is any tribute band, specializing in duplicating Rush Hemispheres Album, are tackling the most difficult Rush Material, and that’s verified by rush themselves!!!

[@theadventuresofred19]

Lotusland?

[@tomperugini189]

The closest to rush as a tribute is LOTUS LAND..SINGER LOOKS AND SOUNDS IDENTICAL TO GEDDY..MINDBLOWING. the band are great

[@deanwolfechannel]

Remarkable indeed I agree!

[@johnvrabec9747]

Need to add YYNOT.

[@deanwolfechannel]

they are in another of the little series of videos.

[@YedMan01]

I forgot, it’s quiz time for anyone who wants to play. Seeing all these tribute bands made me think of something that Geddy Lee said in an interview,and of course the rest of the band agreed with him🎸🎸 Question. what was Rush’s most difficult album to make??? It wiped them out so bad that that was the last album of it’s kind from Rush, and then they took a different approach!!!

[@deanwolfechannel]

hemispheres?

[@YedMan01]

Yes, absolutely correct they all said hemispheres was the toughest album to make and it was their last concept album. Excellent Dean Wolfe you are correct🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@gustavoparrilla6293]

hemispheres had the best vocalist, that sounds perfectly like fly by night geddy

No YYNOT?

there's 3 videos. This is #3. YYNOT is in one of the first 2.

[@warptek]

ALL Rush tribute bands suffer from one deficiency.... vocals don't even come close. Lots of people used to knock Geddy's voice. Just let those people hear when others try to sing Geddy and they'd change their opinion about his voice.

[@deanwolfechannel]

His voice is so unique, and also so very skilled and controlled.

They are on one of my 3 videos. They were doing hemispheres album

"Rush Monterrey tribute"!"From Monterrey México"!, please"!"thanks"!

It's really hard to pull off Geddy Lee's voice none of these dudes come close . I am not saying they have no talent, it's just that hard to do a tribute band and sounds just like the actual singers
