REACTION COMPILATION | Rush - Tom Sawyer | First Time Hearing Mashup

[@WonderMommaOG]

💬 I’ve been waiting well over two years to do this song out of complete respect for my fellow compilation creator, Derek Brooks. He did an amazing mashup to this song back in November 2021. If you have not seen it yet, please go check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anO0hqGli6eGqtEsi=gJfcdAytpG7RZS2A Life has been smacking me upside the head the last couple of months but I don’t know what I would have done without this amazing distraction. I swear music has saved me on so many occasions. Trying something different in dropping this one. A premiere! I hope this finds you all safe and sound and please enjoy! Onto the next! 💜

[@FUBAR1986]

As always, thank you Peace, love, joy, and hope to you and yours ❤😂🎉🌍🌎🌏🎼🎹🥁

[@DeAnne1233]

2:01 Love, Love That nostalgic clip tie-in with Chester (I). Humorously memorable. I like the pre and post song reaction clips on this one a lot too. It feels like a best of the best reactions complication in a well edited groove. Well Done, You.

This is awesome WMOG that was much first Rush lp.❤❤❤❤

[@kelvinmann1058]

Excellent touch!!🤘

[@nunyabizz9804]

I was gonna say the same thing LOL

[@mariejustme]

Released in 1981 and this song still holds up. Rush. What a band! RIP Neil. 🔥🤘🏼❤️

[@Dawnofcreation]

My ex husband is the biggest Rush fan, and my kids surprised him for his birthday and got a piece of the floor from where they produced that song in this video!!!! We have it framed. 😊

RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR! With heart felt admiration and sincerity! Gary

[@yyz4761]

Perfect description of Neil’s drumming, thanks for that

[@hammerofmariotos]

My favorite Neil Peart story- His mother once asked him why he never smiles during gigs. "These songs are hard to play right, Mom! I have to focus."

[@PureMetalBanzai]

RIP Professor. Classic song from a legendary band. Great choice Momma. GOt to see RUSH live many times. They are legendary

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

That breakdown/solos section is one of the greatest in rock music, I'll never get tired of hearing that.

[@bernabereyes9726]

As a 54 yo dude from Spain Who loves Rush since the 80's it's so cool to see people discovering this giant band. Nice video

[@mstorrboy]

One of their most famous songs, but also one of their most radio friendly. Just happy people are still discovering them.

[@eileen.333]

A proud Canadian here of this Canadian 🇨🇦 classic band 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@seanharrigan6365]

One of 3 great things that Canada gave to the world. It comes in just below hockey and just above beer.

[@daveperala4723]

Stretched out on the hood of your car, a cold beer in one hand and a smart joint in the other. That is how you listen to RUSH

[@benjaminminty9602]

Tom Sawyer is one of the greatest songs ever !

[@deansmith8404]

Thank you for all of your hard work. Brilliant.

[@margaretstutts4362]

I love Rush! I saw them in Birmingham, AL, in 86. BOC opened for them. Such a great concert. Thank you! I love watching people react to the music I love! Tom Sawyer is one I love! We were spoiled for choice in music in the 70s and 80s. We took it for granted too.

[@davidstevens5682]

My favourite band from the age of 14, I’m now 56! Love these guys so much, thank you for this Momma. Got to see them live here in the UK, Canada and in Tampa, USA on their final tour (R40). RIP Neil, your drumming & lyrics inspired so many people. If you want to dive into some earlier songs, please check out Xanadu from the Exit Stage Left live tour. Lots of reactions to that track. Thanks again ❤

[@gary2kr1]

When I hear Rush it transports me back in time, me and my buddies getting high before summer school jamming out 😂

[@YouFilthyAnimal74]

No matter how many times you've listened to Tom Sawyer, it feels like the first time every time. 🔥

[@kimberlyprieto2846]

This channel is worth being a patreon, so much work, much respect to you, WoWie

[@brettkenschaft4239]

Yet another outstanding compilation video, Momma!! Rush is one of my favorite bands, and one of my favorites to see people react to for the first time. Even people that might not know much about music recognize Neal's greatness and most are amazed that the wall of sound they're hearing is coming from only 3 guys! "Tom Sawyer" seems to be a pretty common entry level Rush song, much like "The Pot" for Tool, but usually is just the beginning of the rabbit hole. Take care Momma, and I'm so sorry about your cat. Looking forward to your next project ✌️

[@WonderMommaOG]

Thank you so much, Brett. 💜

[@dbilly7]

I love watching newby’s seeing Rush for the first time. I saw them in concert 3 times in the 70’s. Blown away every time.

Crazy to think that a song (album) I was listening to more than 40 years ago still gets this sort of reaction from so many.

[@WonderMommaOG]

I hope to do many, many more! Hi to you and Andrea!

Fantastic OG, and so very glad you created it. I have watched Derek Brooks ... numerous times,... Steel sharpens Steel ... and leads to great tributes to the best music . All is good when so many from all over can agree . and the rest of us can witness.

Hello from Ontario Canada its awesome too see you guys listening too Rush for the first time Rush is truly one of the greats I have been listening too Rush since the 80s I bought my first Rush LP when I was a kid back then still have it too fun fact Rush is from Toronto RIP Neil Pert truly one of the greatest drummers in Rock . Bands and Songs from the 60s 70s and 80s take you on a Journey such bands that do that are the Doors , Iron Butterfly , Journey , Boston , Foreigner , Chicago and Rush .

Even though we know you rock the drums as good as Neil Peart, WonderMomma, this is pure proof how timeless the music of RUSH really is. Thank you for another great compilation!!! YOU ROCK!

Three men making this music….amazing!

[@aaronwilkerson7100]

From 1981….till today, my, my how music has changed….the last 15 years have been so disappointing for the most part, That’s why I really don’t listen to much modern music today, most of what I do hear all sounds so Mono Tone….no, Harmony, No Expression, No Symphony…just some sort’ve Synthesized droning….sorry, but that’s how it sounds….which makes Music from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s 80’s and 90’s sound so incredible! I was Blessed to be born in 1960….and be raised in all those decades of Great Music. And to see the Young peoples reaction is Absolutely Priceless…. Thank You, Wonder Moma!!! You are Amazy♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@garylagstrom3864]

RUSH: MASTERS OF TIME SIGNATURES: They don't sit down and say "Let's write in (x) time signature." They just write what they feel. Jacob's Ladder alternates between 5/4, 6/4 and 7/4, then 6/8 and 7/8. Limelight is 7/4 not 7/8. The middle of La Villa (A Lerxst in Wonderland) is in 7/8. Kid Gloves is in 5/4 for the intro and verses and 4/4 for choruses. The Trees starts in 3/4, moves into 4/4 and the solo section is 5/4.

[@iannetta11]

Thanks Wonder !!! You picked a great one AGAIN. I remember bringing the vinyl home in the summer that it was released. Sat on the edge of my bed mesmerized. Hmmm, IDEA. Do a reaction to an entire album? Send out a poll. Invite reactors to create. Have some kind of half time event between sides A and B. Have sponsors and get yourself some rewards. Huh?!

The time signature changes in this song are INSANE. These guys are elite master musicians. Just consider that Getty is playing bass, keyboards AND singing lead vocals! Mind blowing. Rush and Steely Dan are probably the most impressive bands in terms of their musicianship.

Bodhisattva is an insane song. I am a big of the Dan. Rock on my brother

[@JClaus1221]

3rd row center 1982 The Omni in Atlanta, still the best concert I ever witnessed. Sheer perfection in every way. And there was no way to not air drum this tune in your car during morning or afternoon rush, it just wasn't possible.

[@Jeff-yt3qp]

Totally Amazing

[@melaniecreech7566]

Me and hubby saw Rush on this tour 1982. Geddie Lee singing and playing bass with one hand while playing synth other hand all at same time. Neil threw a drum stick and hubby who is also drummer caught it. played his drums with it and broke it...lol... Still have the tour shirt ❤

As a young black man growing up in Southern Florida, this was one of those songs I heard when I hung out my white friends who listened rock. When this came out, I was 16 years old, had only listened to R&B at that point...then BAM! Rush...that was the start of me enjoying rock...classic rock.

[@RainbowFlutterbies]

Awe hell yeah!! Grew up on bands like Rush and this is definitely a fave!! Thank you for this!!

[@paulfromt.o.7384]

Fantastic job. Rush were such a special band man, love seeing people reacting to this one, especially first timers. I was fortunate to see them live 13 (lucky!) times all in Toronto at various venues. Fond memories of half a dozen at Maple Leaf Gardens. Thanks for this!

[@MDElam]

These mashups really capture the excitement of hearing a song for the first time in a way a single reaction just can't (although I love the single reactions too)! Thank you so much for these, along with your touches in the making-of section at the end!

RUSH........The absolute best progressive rock band of all time. The excellence of their talent overflows in the music. I almost stop hearing the music here cuz I can't believe what I'm seeing. So focused on 3 men that take my emotions on this crazy ride. Outta breath like my guy in the car🙋‍♀️I don't think they've had any formal training I believe their self-taught (correct me if I'm wrong) Just a couple of kids from a small town with the same passion for music 🥁🎸🎙️👏👏👏
