Rush - Stick It Out 3-22-1994

[@stonerdemon]

Stick It Out has the absolutely most badass ride cymbal in the history of rock.

[@Texturas75]

Oh yes! The ride sounds great across the whole album. And the snare as well. Both very powerful.

[@lerauch7115]

Iam a 44yo male from Germany but Iam crying like a baby when I see the boys together. God I miss Rush so fucking much....

[@Tiberius_Productions]

Neil Peart always knows just the right amount of complexity and less-is-more technique for what was necessary to the song. Stick it Out is a prime example of Neil using rhythm but staying away from fills for the sake of giving weight to every beat he plays. Brilliant!

[@billybundorxo]

The guitar solo in this song is excellent!!!!

[@jeffreyhinkel3490]

They rule !!!!!!! Period.

[@javejao]

RIP Neil Peart

[@EvilMrDoer]

Lerxst introducing a song is very rare indeed. Thumbs Up. :D Clockwork Angels, June 12th, 20120

[@amymcgee7779]

You never know what you get when Lerxst opens his mouth, especially when there's a mike. One of the reasons we love him. Blah.

[@SonOfYoungwood]

This was one hell of a concert!

[@bvgstudios4632]

4:15 that's hilarious these guys really know how to have fun. Most bands just kinda stand there on stage playing their instruments but these guys are gutsy enough to do what ever they want up there. I really like that about them!

[@Dthorn912]

WOO Alex talking to the Audience! Stick it Out man.

[@peartrush1]

i saw this tour at Kemper Arena Kansas City. Last tour with an opening act Primus

[@BasqueNYC]

I hear that! I saw them on the Roll the bones tour with Primus and than again counterparts tour with Primus again! Both shows at Madison Square Garden,NYC My 2 fav bands together!.Did you know Rush and Primus had recorded both bands jamming together at each other sound checks I'd love to hear that also there was a Les Claypool and Geddy Lee instrumental album they were putting together (Geddy playing Guitar and some of it) but it never saw the light of day yet Geddy said in nterviews at the time that he still had the DAT tapes of demo songs ......id do anything to hear those

[@StickHits]

Alex did mean it sincerely, because this is the only time ive seem him say something like this, when he does talk its usually comedic or intentional incoherence

[@lazarus3068]

Very tight original and appealing song..A very good reply creatively to the times it was written in.

[@bachyutt]

I think this is the only song in which neil doesn't touch a single tom in the whole song

[@flan11472]

Rivendell

[@maximediastore]

great detail man, saw again the video and realize of that was freaking awesome! thanks

[@davidboyer7706]

Hope

[@mikestrutter7400]

CLASS ACT, NEVER WILL THERE BE ANOTHER POWER TRIO LIKE THIS.

[@thetreesify]

they played this at glasgow a couple of nights ago, was so happy to here it live :)

[@negtype13]

HOLY SHIT!! I just realized...thanx to the little interlude/banter between Dirk and Lerxst...that I actually HAVE this CD Bootleg. It's called Majestic Symphonies. It has 2 discs including bonus of the Electric Ladyland recordings in 74' - 75' Obviously doing tunes from Rush and Fly By Night!! This is an AWESOME discovery. Now I can actually watch what I've been hearing since 95' -96'!!! FUCKIN RUUUUSH!!! \m/ \m/ \m/

[@SteveMaxwellFilmComp]

The sound you hear is a sample of the vocals. I believe it was triggered on accident. During the chorus of the song you can tell that the vocals are triggered with Geddy singing over it.

[@calebwashburn2193]

if it was an accident they ran with it and made it kind of cool, but that caught my attention as well.

[@KyleRulebreaker]

Love this song :)

[@cwodragon]

The Ultimate Power Trio, it does'nt get better than Rush.

[@NR92CP]

It's a shame too, I absolutely adore Roll the Bones, Counterparts, and Test for Echo, yet another great phase of their career. I'd absolutely buy this if it were released.

[@sandorivera7industriaazucarera]

THAT HEAVY RIFF!!! \m/

[@analogkidt4e]

Thanks for posting! I had a great time when I saw Counterparts 5/1/94 in Providence, RI

[@lvgelfling72]

Great sing! Great Rush era!

[@kattastrofe]

saw this song live in october/2010. hair-raising... that riff shook the whole stadium

[@bordeauxbill1961]

@RollTheFemers If your talking about the overtone sustain on the guitar,,it's triggered from the floor on his torus pedals

[@Insinfier]

This was on my birthday. :)

[@snapascrew]

@RollTheFemers sounds like the "don't swallow the posion" sample started and quickly stopped

[@gregbyars456]

its great

[@captainpiefox9133]

No dislikes yet. Good

[@Lakerloon]

this song kicks ass

[@n2112bytor2112p]

they have the drum solo recorded from this tour and its on the neil peart dvd anatomy of a drum solo

[@ColdGrayMorning]

Counterparts is great album! Rush in grunge and more!

[@damnyankeefl]

Rush was whatever they felt like being.

[@superslayerguy]

stick it oot

[@lifeson90]

shoulda found a way to do Alien Shore live, god i loved the Counterparts era

[@coreycrossman3447]

Iove how they are just like, oh grunge yeah we can do that and its one of the best grunge songs ever made

[@MusicFun-gd1cm]

Stick It Out isn’t a grunge song lol

[@coreycrossman3447]

@@MusicFun-gd1cm yeah it is, if you asked them what influenced them to make this song they would say Alice in Chains and such i'm sure

[@larry903s]

@RollTheFemers If you're talking about the the loud high pitched harmonic that starts at 1:18, I'm no musician, so I don't know the correct terminology, but I bet Alex Lifeson is doing a trick with the foot peddles, sampling the sound as he turns up the volume playing the note on the two lower strings. Then he just taps the peddle when he wants to play the sound again. Just a guess, though.

[@RichNosowicz]

They played the entire 2112 suite on the Test for Echo Tour in 96/97

[@earthshine2k]

@WelfareRobot If ANYWHERE could produce such quality on a more regular basis. :-)

[@MrTubejockey]

@Junco39 Welcome my friend to the show that never ends!

[@richardlabelle9430]

Stick it out If only we could practice it making it our Life to be so much more healthy mentally and physically

[@kfsfkakf]

its awesome they have barely changed

[@vogaqq]

@RollTheFemers Listen to the chorus, when they have the effect that does something to their voices, hear the similarity? I think Geddy must have made one of those random little noises no ever knows why they are made, a little grunt, and the mic picked it up, with that effect on, i don't know why it would have been on then, maybe the footage was not in-sync, and it was Alex's mic, cause he would have had to turn that on then.

[@gregbyars456]

stick it out

[@sandorivera7industriaazucarera]

First time that I DONT see dislikes in a you tube video!!!

[@Roger-b7u1k]

ALEX is a riot!

[@ironrushscorp]

i cant believe this was 15 yrs ago...

[@OAJoe]

26 years ago now.

[@AshaiTides]

oh god

[@n2112bytor2112p]

I agree.

[@Kenny10]

I just learned after watching The Hour...Neil really hates playing this song xD I lol'd

[@RollTheFemurs]

It's still a mystery to where that sound comes from at 1:14.

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

I was gonna say

[@shallex5744]

it may be because the guitar feedback sound on Alex's guitar during the intro riff is a triggered sample, and a sample of backing vocals was accidentally triggered instead of the guitar feedback sample

[@ElhijueputtsPR94]

this song kinda reminds me of the 90's grunge for some reason mostly of pearl jam and soundgarden

[@garyporter8153]

thanks roll the femurs

[@vizeeee]

@RollTheFemers I thought exactly the same thing

[@SpiderDrummer24]

anybody notice the glowing piece of fireworks that bounces off neil's ride at the very end?

[@diegoq8417]

What's the name of the concert? Thanks

[@n2112bytor2112p]

its such a weird sound though... it sounds like geddy lee... but its not in sny of their other songs.

[@freedomwatchdog2495]

I love Rush and not to be a dick ... but couldn't Alex have sung the backgrounds instead of them sequencing in Geddy's background vocals ... why guys?

[@ravifennec]

Alex probably can't sing as high as Ged They were very committed to making their live performances sound as close to the studio recording as possible

[@freedomwatchdog2495]

@@ravifennec Play live or hire someone ... I don't like that shit. Still an awesome bad.

[@shallex5744]

i hate to tell you but the guitar feedback effect is also a triggered sample, and so is his entire acoustic guitar part at 3:20

[@bassplayer1138]

You hear that? Detroit, what!? lol

[@nextlevelstart]

is this the frank zappa song i dont want to watch/listen/think

[@jammyjams8522]

I was trying to look up Frank Zappa and ran into this shit

[@jimturner4937]

Absolutely hate the way Les Paul looks with the double coil pick-ups.
