RUSH Anthem Bass Cover Tech 21 NYC Geddy YYZ Pedal

[@rpblondon2011]

And Geddy plays all that sh** singing at the same time... that guy is unbelievable. RIP Neil Peart.

[@erro7653]

No doubt, it's basically like singing while soloing.

[@RoarOfWolverine]

That guy has a couple of extra brains hidden in that nose. I’m sure of it. How else could he sing, play keyboards with his feet while shredding the bass like this? There is an old B&W video here on KZbin from 1976 of Rush playing Anthem live and to really piss is off, he almost never looks down at the neck of his bass while playing this. Yeah, rub it in Geddy! I guess it was really easy for him then because he didn’t have the keyboards and Taurus pedals and stuff, just singing and shredding the bass. Piece of cake. He had to throw the rest in to make it a bit challenging. RIP Neil.

[@cosmicman621]

@@RoarOfWolverine lol...yep we are really lucky to have that Capitol Theater footage.

[@RoarOfWolverine]

@@cosmicman621 Yes we are. Even more unbelievable is the entire concert of them at that Junior High School. It was right after their first album had released and John Rutsey was still the drummer. We’re really lucky that some TV station filmed the entire concert. That has to be the earliest footage I’ve ever seen of them.

[@Steve.Cutler]

And does it mostly with one finger!!

[@captainsnarky6949]

Tim is like that cool electrician or construction guy who fixes your house, then you go to the bar with him for a beer just because he's a cool dude and he ends up sitting in with the band and absolutely brings the house down with his monster chops, and until that moment you had no idea he even played bass.

[@mr.tuckers2848]

This guy is my new old-school favorite bass player on KZbin. I hope to be at his playing level someday.

[@billfaith6615]

Tim obviously has the heart of a teacher to post such videos. It's as if he wants the rest of us to learn it too instead of keeping it all to himself.

[@lycosa2000]

Timing is extraordinary. This is what people mean when they say a band has a tight rhythm section. His playing is just dead ass on the money.

[@milocabral7428]

The...big money? I’ll show myself out

[@brandonyankees1]

That tone is killer

[@DrKFC69]

Geddy would be proud

[@TimStarace]

Ha! Thanks

[@CYTVim]

Anthem was recorded in 1974. This bass line and tone was revolutionary then and is still some of the best ever recorded. 48 years ago. So good to hear it so high up in the mix where it belongs :)

[@samlelowitch]

RUSH basslines are not easy to replicate and you do it really well. I'm impressed.

[@janicefrantz1831]

Incredible. It's like getting a private bass lesson from Geddy himself. Thanks for sharing your mind-blowing talent. Your heart is as big as your talent.

[@clamallama]

Your ability to mimick the original player's tone is flawless. Last time I heard somebody who could Geddy his bass this well was 8 years ago. Your a cool cat Tim. Thank you for sharing!

[@dleasman]

When playing this kind of thing, there is a big difference between playing it and feeling it. So many covering rush are just playing it, copying it, trying to mimic it. It is so refreshing to see someone who really feels it like how geddy actually plays. I have been enjoying your videos, and the energy in your playing.

[@TimStarace]

Thank you!!

[@alcap6145]

I had an audition back in the 80s, and they called this song. They said come in when ya know it..... Still haven't showed up! This, and Analog Kid ..... Nice playing Sir!

[@getthestoneman]

Hahaha !! Good one !!!

[@RyneMurray23]

My favorite bass part is when the solo starts. You absolutely kill it man. 🔥🔥🔥

[@poissonpuerile8897]

I've listened to this at least 75 times and I just can't get enough! The playing is amazing, and your tone... man, that tone!

[@mr.cheese7763]

Truly incredible!! You NAILED this song down to every last detail! I have yet to see anyone get that Geddy tone down better than you do; great playing!

[@DanClancyPatterson98]

This is proof that the really famous musicians really only get lucky. That’s talent and hard work right there! Right on man! Perfect!

[@Skytrekin]

Your joy is soo evident while playing this song! Love it!! I was right there with you Rock on!

[@frankfossaceca9616]

Guess What !! I did my Homework.!! That is Tim the Bass player for YY Not. !! Phenomenal Band Guys.!!!! I Have watched several of their videos over the past few years now. Tim is the most phenomenal bass player I have ever seen.!!! Too bad they play in California A lot. I would love to go see one of their Shows. I live in Ohio.!!!

[@TimStarace]

Thank you! We tour the whole country and have played in Cleveland as well!

[@GeddyRC]

One of my favorite bassists on KZbin - you are a joy to watch, my friend! And the tone.. man, Geddy would certainly be proud haha. Your Rush covers are second to none.

[@TheCaptainsRock]

Tim, I had the pleasure of seeing you at 89 North last week. Awesome show, you all rock!

[@johntrip07]

Would be great to see your settings on the pedal!

[@doktorarslanagic]

incredible playing, i can feel the love you have for the music! keep on rocking!!!!

[@GuitarDad5000]

Truly one of my favourite Rush songs ever. Thanks. Anthem of the heart and Anthem of the mind!!

[@songoflovemetalofficial]

Massive sound and massive skills

[@thenachom]

Perfect understanding of the song and technique... exquisite tone my good sir.. live long!!!

[@steveblanmag7410]

Holy s... that was beautiful! Thank you for uploading. Always loved the power of this song. I bet you love playing it.

[@smb328i]

Dude, that is f*cking awesome; not just your skills and tone, but your love of it. Subbed.

[@kebo57]

Love this man's taste in bass guitars He's got a Fender in black and white, a Rick in black and white, and a Rick in black and white!!

[@markblackman2542]

This is by Far the Best version yet , Pure class !

[@Balin93]

Terrific. My new favorite bass cover on KZbin! I always loved this song and bassline. Thank you for sharing this!

[@lelands7819]

I am a huge rush fan and bass player, yet whenever I think I have a song down, I just come here and get schooled on the nuances. Thanks for the eye opener, I completely mistimed the second part of the solo.

[@RyanTheWebGuy]

Man, you've some mad skill. I've been attempting to master this line for 15 years, and I just can't.

[@markbennett6623]

I can’t believe he sings and plays that

[@markbennett6623]

Literally freak

[@AudiophileTubes]

SO good! Thanks for that needed injection of serious rhythm!

[@marklogreco2942]

Man that was amazing and completely mind blowing. You nailed it to the tee.

[@johnharvey4496]

Now we understand why Rush as a 3 piece produce such a full and rich sound; they's playing the hell out of their instruments. Very nice Tim and very instructive.

[@ricardojmestre]

Amazing tone and playing 🙌🏼

[@kevinhughes9200]

That was awesome! That was dead on right there! You had the tone, and everything perfect brother! Excellent job! Love that white Ric a lot!! Keep it up!!

[@001dharma]

So many talented bass players, guitar players and drummers inspired by RUSH! I wish there could be a talent show to see whose worthy to pick up the mantle? Musicians who know RUSH songs and the talent show would be judged by Geddy and Alex. RIP Neil.

[@ralgex]

Your videos always put a smile on my face. Great job, man.

[@pjbear05]

White over black Rick, nice, and the tone is smokin', too.

[@ThePanchobl]

se me erizan los pelos escuchrte tocar cada pieza de rush.aparte del sonido pro que usas

[@georgesabol459]

Forget saying Geddy played bass, he played lead BASS!!!! Fantastic rendition. Keep the spirit alive. I miss Rocky. I hope I spelled her name correctly.

[@zman92630]

Your Rickey sounds amazing brother. So well executed.... great style points too.

[@NOXFPV]

What an incredible bass line.

[@27ferraridigao]

Great!!!! Very Nice!!!

[@gabrielrojonovais]

[@seanpeterson6010]

Am I seeing stars or is that The bassist from YYZ on his own KZbin channel? Why an awesome find! Love the monster tones

[@Mojkanal-th8sf]

Brother you are phenomenal! Does anybody see what is the level of your enjoyment?

[@wingman8586]

Wow Tim. Just Wow.

[@barneymatherly3685]

amazing. I'd watch a whole show with just you and a drummer

[@sergiodambrosio363]

Awesome! Simply awesome! Tim is the best to make bass covers of Rush! His bass sounds really is something great, his playing skills too! ...and his funny faces cannot be unnoticed! 😆 Great job, Tim! Greetings from Italy!

[@dr.thrashfinger4915]

Geddy IS proud! He told me in a dream lol!

[@LoadedGeorge]

This is awesome! Can I request a driven cover? ;) With the DI-2112 perhaps?

[@markchidester6239]

Awesome job Tim! I have wished I could turn down everything else to pick up one instrument. You make me wonder why more people don't play bass! Hope you keep doing these videos, Some Yes would be great too!

[@estebanperez2557]

I wish the same, I've picked up playing bass for almost a year, sometimes you watch legends like Tim and it makes you want to quit because of how good they are and how bad you are lol

[@EderCruz7]

Amazing cover! Greetings from Brazil!

[@TallBob1962]

No edits to hide different takes. Plays straight through. Killed it!
