Proudly Canadian 🇨🇦🇨🇦

RusH is composed of 3 compulsive perfectionist, and genuine good people that do not have any the ego trips that have lead to the demise of many successful bands. Truly GREAT musicians that are also truly great friends.... Resulting in some of the cleanest, tightest most amazing music ever made.

The guy on the right asks, "who is the drummer?" That is the correct first reaction to listening to rush

[@gerryweed7697]

Neil Peart is the best drummer of all times he died to earlier 2020 .. RIP Neil Peart 🥁🎶

Geddy Lee ; Lead singer, bass, keyboards, Alex Lifeson; guitars, Neal Peart; drums. RIP Neal Peart we lost one of the best drummers ever. RUSH is a CANADIAN BAND, many records,and global hits. Excellent Musicians, alot for just 3 guys in band.

[@bobcarn]

Rush is a 70s band, and this song was from 1981. Neil Peart is the drummer and is regularly listed by all sites as one of the greatest drummers of all time. He was not only technically proficient, but he elevated drumming to new levels by carefully composing and weaving it into songs and make it more melodic and musical.

[@bonda9612]

A small example of great Canadian rock from 70s and 80s. Need some Blue Jay's hat boys.

[@samholder196]

one of my favourite things ever is watching people discover Neil Peart

[@eggstu]

If you didnt know you wanted to play drums before hearing this song, you should now. RIP Neil Peart, the GOAT

[@johnmiller5679]

Actually after hearing this song I would never want to play drums. I can never to the drums justice like Neil does.

[@jodyirvin3156]

Greatest three piece band in history !

[@ccrocker5284]

The first time I heard this band was when a friend let me borrow her cassette tape I plugged into my Walkman and listened to on the bus on the way to a skating competition. The sound absolutely knocked me out of my seat. I had never heard anything so deep and intense and cool in my life…

[@emmanuelsantos4414]

Comecei a ouvir o RUSH a partir de 1975, na cidade em que eu nasci, uma pequena cidade salineira do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, situada no Nordeste do Brasil. O disco foi o primeiro lançado por eles no ano de 1973. Até hoje, o melhor deles, para mim. Tenho todos os seus discos lancados, tanto os de estúdio quanto os ao vivo. Eu tinha 15 anos, na epoca. Hoje, tenho 64 anos e continuo ouvindo o Rush com o mesmo sentimento com que os ouvi pela primeira vez. Fico feliz ao ver que jovens, como vocês, hoje dão este passeio pelo passado, trazendo estas bandas e músicas para o presente, em um mundo que, agora, a música é tão carente de inspiração. Muito obrigado! Emmanuel, Natal RN Nordeste Brasil. Fiquem com Deus!!!

[@Rajgitaa]

Three guys making all that incredible music. That whole album, Moving Pictures, is amazing. I've listened to their music for decades, but I didn't really listen to their later albums. And their concerts were epic as well.

[@lisamorrison2149]

Masterpiece from Rush. 1981. Album: Moving Pictures. INCREDIBLE. Neal Peart on drums, guys. RIP Neal. Thankyou for this today, guys.🔥❤😊

[@katemacgillivray210]

You will LOVE traveling down the Rush rabbit hole. Rush is a progressive rock group popular from the ‘70’s to 2018. Drummer Neil Peart passed in Jan. 2020. RIP Neil. Other tunes to check out are The Spirit of Radio, Subdivisions, La Villa Strangiatto, Neil’s drum solo live from Frankfurt and many more!!

Welcome to Rush, more please!

*No Bigger Rush Fan Than Me On The Planet (I'm Sure Millions Feel The Same Way About Themselves) & This Was The Track That Hooked Its Canadian Teeth Into Me In 1981. I Was A Little Familiar With PW (1980), But Tom Sawyer/Moving Pictures Immediately Obsessed Me To Consume All 7 Studio Albums That Preceded This One. 43 Years & 33 Concerts Later, I Still Believe It's The Greatest Song & Album They've Created. In My Opinion, They Were At Their Apex; Musical Complexity (Pre MIDI) & Musical/Lyrical Talent - Especially The Sound Of Pratt's Cherry-Wine Tama Kit & Percussion Ensemble Which Began Changing On Their Next LP, Signals (1982). Maybe It's My Bias Because 1981 Is When I Became A RUSHian Citizen, But Tom Sawyer May Be The Greatest Hard Rock Tune Of All-Time. Thank-You For Putting This Together.* ☆

[@kelleym3448]

19 albums, 40+ years of amazing music... one of the greatest bands of all time.

[@ritchmoore1442]

Glad you like Rush. The pride of Canada since the 70’s. Better late then never. Btw the lead singer Geddy Lee his parents were holocaust survivors. The drummer Neil Peart is called the professor one of the best of all time

[@terdferguson3854]

There is a park in Hamilton (near Toronto) that is erecting a statue of the drummer. RIP.

[@TheMetalFunkAllStars]

Neil Peart is the Drummer who joined the band on their Second Album. They are from Canada. The Drummer wrote the Lyrics for the songs, and the Bass/Keyboardist is the Lead Vocalist. The Guitarist is a Classical Guitarist. That 70's Band you think the singer sounds like is a Band also from Canada called Triumph. The vocals sound similar. Triumph has Bad Ass Songs too!

[@robertbenavidez7164]

I was a senior in high school when this song came out in 1981 this song never gets old great performance. And nice reaction.....you guys are great...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@mspicer3262]

The members of Rush are Neil Peart (percussion, drums, lyrics), Geddy Lee (vocals, bass, keyboards, composer) and Alex Lifeson (guitars, composer, backing vocals)... Neil "The Professor" Peart is widely regarded as the greatest drummer who has ever lived, and was the influence for other drummers, like Dave Grohl, and his entire generation drummers. He passed on 7 January 2020, from cancer.

Neil Peart is from my home town in Canada. He went to high school right around the corner from me but before my time. I've only recently on the last couple years (I'm 44) been a fan of Rush. I used to hate them for no good reason. I'm glad I came back to them

[@loisr3970]

Geddy lee vocals, keyboard, bass , Alex Lifeson guitar, Mr Neil Peart on drums 40+ years of awesomeness!!!!!!

[@andrewsauve4051]

The best part of RUSH, they were so diverse. They changed with the times. They had their own style from decade to decade. You can tell the different decades by their style of play. Many people have their opinions and preferences.But a true RUSH fan prefers them all. RUSH did things their own way. They played what they wanted, not what the record companies wanted. They were brilliant. A lot of their music was not appreciated at the time, but they stayed true to their art.And now look, 40+ years later, the new generation is still amazed by them. They are at the top of the musical food chain. They talked the talk, but they also walked the walk.The stories they told, you can listen to their songs and close your eyes and literally see the story line. I will leave the suggestions to other people. Keep it up guys, you are in for a treat. Trust your listeners, you will not be disappointed. I suggest to use lyrics to a lot of their earlier stuff, they go very deep. No one did it better. Proudly Canadian 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@chrispotyok8843]

In order to fully appreciate the genius of this band you need to watch their live performances. Best live band everrrrrr

[@blakearmstrong5730]

Rush. Xanadu ...live exit stage left

[@doctorfutou]

That’s the power of Rush....you want to them live.....check out Xanadu..... Exit Stage Left version....prepare to be blown away.....again.

[@Guy_Fawkes_News]

Rush!!!!!! Fuck yeah! Their first Album came out in 1974 (Check out Working Man) then go down the Rabbit hole from there. As great as they are in the studio they might even be better live. Drummer Neil Peart has passed over into legend. RIP. Perhaps the greatest drummer of all time. He wrote all the lyrics too. Geddy Lee (bass, keyboards) and Alex Lifeson (guitars) are virtuosos as well. Rock and Roll hall of famers and most other musicians consider them to be untouchable in complexity and musicianship. Truly, one of the greats. Oh Canada! 🇨🇦

[@darkunicornwendy4191]

Welcome to the world of Rush! Being Canadian I am biased of course lol. They are my fave hands down. You have only touched the tip of this iceberg. I look forward to seeing your mind blown expressions as you experience these master story tellers and the creations of Neil's genius. Its amazing to see people come to realize that it's only 3 guys making all this sound. I'm still absolutely gutted by Neil's loss earlier this year. RIP Neil

[@bibes777]

Rush's catalog spans 40 years, 19 Albums. Limelight, Subdivisions, Red Barchetta, Distant Early Warning, Closer to the Heart, Red Sector A, New World Man, Freewill, and Spirit of the Radio are but a few of their other greatest tracks.

Did you notice that they are playing keyboards with their hands and feet? Did you notice that the Singer is also the Bass player and the keyboard player? Did you know that the Drummer also writes all of the Lyrics? Hahahah Glad you enjoyed it. There is no comparing Rush to anyone... although they began trying to emulate Led Zeppelin, they evolved into a band like no other.

As others have mentioned; welcome to the Rush rabbit hole. Neil Peart. Best rock drummer that ever lived. The professor. RIP. 🇨🇦😢 Geddy Lee. Bass. Vocals. Alex Lifeson. Guitar. Limelight. Spirit of Radio. Yyz. Live in Rio. But do the studio version first. Working man. Live in Cleveland. Xanadu. Live in 1981. 2112 There is so much more. 😁 This is progressive rock. Similar groups are: Yes. 70’s Genesis. But Rush has a cleaner and harder edge.

[@darylaarons6625]

Glad you enjoyed that one guys. This is definitely one of their most popular songs, but in my opinion, they have other songs that are better. This is a very diverse band that were together for four decades and have over 200 original songs that all sound different. They were not afraid to experiment and kept changing their sound through the various decades. Some diehard fans only like the early stuff, but I like it all and think their songwriting actually got better as the years went on.

[@gerryweed7697]

thanks for this one .. very good ,, 😎👍 Next one from Rush - Red Sector A .. a song about holocaust . Geddy Lee parents was survive to holocaust .. Neil Peart good lyrics ..

[@rockandrollmd541]

Rush sounded like Led Zeppelin on their 1st album. Working Man is a very popular song from that album. They created their own sound as the years went by.

Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video by Rush and tons of talent and saw them live a number of times 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on KZbin. 😀

[@dmstewart66]

Oh man, you guys have to dig into more Rush! Its all amazing! The bands who influenced Rush are mostly The Who and Yes. Both bands are well worth checking out as well! Yes especially will be a bit different from what you guys are used to listening to.

[@careym3901]

This is the first song on side 1 of the album 'Moving Pictures' The first side has 4 songs on it and I'd stand up next to any side #1 on any other album, ever! #1 Tom Sawyer. #2 Red Barchetta ( You should do this one next) #3 YYZ an instrumental (look for live in Rio version) and #4 Limelight ( a platinum selling single) Powerhouse of a side one. Side 2 is not too shabby either! But do Red Barchetta next!

[@stevenschembri1288]

RUSH = The greatest, most talented and most intelligent band in rock history. Not my opinion, it's a FACT of life. Enjoy!

[@Mark_T_23]

Tom Sawyer: This is some of the best footage of Niel Peart, the professor, on the drums. You know why? I’ll tell you why... Ya know how you get that audio/video sync problem. And It’s not lined up and what you are hearing is not what you’re seeing. I hate that, especially when seeing and hearing the drum playing. It’s verry noticeable with the drums. But here you see that drum hit and you hear it simultaneously. You can see Niel working behind his kit. You feel it. You feel what Niel feels as he is playing. He’s killing it. I love the drum fill when Niel is going all the way around the set, and on the way by he’s like’, “I think I’ll hit this symbol.” “While I’m here.” LOL. I must ask myself; did he place that symbol there just for this song? I may have stumbled over some details of what it took to make this epic song. BTW, the pronunciation of Niel Peart’s last name. It’s not pronounced like the “Pert” shampoo. It’s more like Neil Peert" (like "Peer" with a T).

[@perrybernard1308]

The drummer Neil Pearl wrote 99% of all Rush's songs..

[@carlop.7182]

Rush was formed in 1968 and lasted until drummer Neil Perth's death in 2021, so right now, they're thinking about what they will do, but things looklike they will not continue under the name Rush. Hope it answers your questions.

[@relaxandsucceed4282]

Xanadu live shows off their individual skills in a way that shows off how they could set a tone live. Note Geddy and Alex often play bass with their feet while playing keyboards. And Neil is maybe the best drummer ever, and both a drummer and a percussionist. This band, like Zeppelin, Queen, Zappa and the Winters Brothers, has the sort of talent that can scare other musicians if they're not super good on their instruments. These three all individually come together like some incredibly fortunate accident of sound that ends up being perfect. It's like every note is played exactly the way it should be, exactly when it should be. You'll have fun with this band.
