[@silentgnome]

@@hinjurock Yep. Harris is a huge prog fan. He has talked about how much Genesis and Van der Graaf Generator have been essential keys to his musical taste.

[@jonroscettiarts]

"If Rush and Iron Maiden had a child" is often how I describe Coheed and Cambria to new listeners.

[@TheOnlyNacho]

@@jonroscettiarts That's fucking brilliant

[@gfox9295]

So freakin' good. Wanna hear other Rush covers by them! Imagine Freewill, Limelight, Tom Sawyer... mmm.

[@ATthemusician]

@@jonroscettiarts nah I saw coheed with mastodon and they sucked, most of the fans were annoying mid 20s women that still acted like 13 year olds, or super douchey fuck boys.

[@amidatongMWL]

Danny's smile when he pulls off the 8 tom descending roll (4 concert toms a la Peart). What a tip of the hat!

[@jstefens]

Greatest prog metal bassist and drummer in one song chef's kiss

[@HDDVD-ROM]

Been a Coheed fan since Second Stage and this pleases me so much to see Claudio get more recognition from fans of these other talented musicians who normally wouldn't have given him the time of day. Do yourself a favor and at least check out In Keeping Secrets... and Good Apollo. Good Apollo is still their best work to me and nothing would please me more than to know more people might enjoy some of Coheed's music. Definitely their most progressive album today. This cover was amazing, btw.

[@zparkplug2788]

agreed - i love all coheed's work but good apollo is their crown jewel to me

[@Darksomnium]

claudio is amazing, coheeds been my favorite band since i was a kid :D

OMG ANY SONG FROM 2112 COVERED BY CLAUDIO WOULD BE INSANE

[@nickdeiters4690]

After 50 views, I genuinely declare: this video legitimately belongs in the rock n roll hall of fame. Like I can absolutely see this played on the tv's there as youre walking around.

[@asteriskcolon]

I'd take it, and having ALTTP in the rock and roll hall of Fame is just extra gravy

[@justinmitchell7115]

Bill is Mastodon's secret weapon, he writes alot of the riffs and does some very good vocal work live. I hope moving forward he's utilized more.

[@glenpost3934]

I desperately want to see a Geddy/Alex reaction video at some point.

[@LarryClow]

I did an actual cartoon-style double-take when I read the video title. And then after watching it, I cartoon-style died and my ghost is now typing this comment. That's how good it was.

[@arkhos599]

As a massive Rush fan, this brings a smile to my face that can not be put into words. RIP NP, and thank you to these guys for this!!!!!!!

[@williamdaniel8666]

There is alot of love out there in the world for music. These guys always amaze me w/ the talent they come up with!

[@johngottselig9908]

Bill with the lead! Never see that in Mastodon. That was killer!!

[@theabominablesnowman1711]

Billy K has done about three solos with the Don, but never the kind of shredding he did here.. super badass

[@emigrant1510]

Probably the first time we've heard him take the lead since Sleeping Giant

[@joelcprice]

I know that it generally works in the band to have Brent do the solos. But Bill has such a killer feel in this song it makes me feel like we're missing out a bit.

[@theabominablesnowman1711]

Joel Price as much as I love Brent’s innovative playing, the handful of solos that Bill has done with Mastodon are some of the most unique in all of metal

[@joelcprice]

@@theabominablesnowman1711 I totally agree. I want more of them.

[@UGotSerbed]

It's absolutely hilarious to have my man Claudio sing this one. If you know, you know.

[@SHA8UTIE]

Amazing lineup and perfectly done. Claudio Sanchez might be the best all-around musician on the planet.

[@devm5233]

Proceeds towards Gwarsenio’s new sofa cushions. Been taking a pounding for months now.

[@hondaguy9153]

These guys should do a Rush cover tour. This would be a kick ass live show!

This is the most ultimate super group I could've never thought of on my own.

Yeah but they cheated. Some of those guys are clearly not in their bedrooms.

[@thedarksiderebel]

Easily the best Rush cover I've heard. The first to do Geddy's vocals justice

[@REALSimulatedDumplings]

I love how genuinely happy Claudio looks to be doing this. Obviously Bill, Les, and Danny look to be having a blast as well. Excellent choice in musicians for this cover.

[@zigwil153]

You can feel their love of RUSH.... beautiful... having fun.... even RUSH in the green screens- the dragon, rotisserie chickens.... perfection! RIPNP

[@adambradley1461]

Claudio is perfect for these vocals. I never cared for C&C, but he does Geddy Lee justice here.

dude, C19 is possibly the BEST thing to ever happen to the world / America! EX: it's knocking out the hyper-greed of hyper-capitalism, as half the businesses on earth are never recovering from this. EX: it's going to eliminate mountains of waste and efficiency that capitalism relies. (No waste = no profit!) EX: it's made Fake-ass Repugs CHANGE THEIR SCRIPT b/c shit is now life and death! EX: it's making all humanity EQUAL for the first time in human evolution! We are ALL in this boat together, and nothing can keep the rich from getting it, ha ha. EX: every restaurant / bar / music club should ALREADY BE OUTDOORS when weather is nice. Indoors is dumb! C19 will make humans realize "more stuff should be outdoors!" hooray! I can list a zillion of these. EX: Andrew Yang's UBI has nearly become a reality! EX: Free Health care is on its way, since half the nation is LOSING their jobs and the insurance it came with! HOORAY! PROGRESS!!! (It takes Very Dramatic Shit for society to grow the F up or evolve.)

@@dumpygoodness4086 Yeah, and there's millions of people who aren't able to see their families and loved ones due to lockdown, we're all being forced to wear masks, the vaccines will roll in shortly, cashless society so that every transaction you ever made can be tracked. No live music, ever. Places of worship shut down whilst you can still go to Walmart, small businesses never being able to return so that everything is funnelled through Amazon.
