[@GrahamDyson-h9z]

A rare 'Instrumental gem' from a comparatively obscure & underrated album ~ 'Snakes & Arrows ' did sort of go 'under the radar' even with Rush Aficionados at the time !

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Interesting that at the suggestion of David Gilmore, Lifeson and Lee wrote these songs first on acoustics, then modified later. Lifeson said it certainly helped with the structuring and melodies of the songs.

[@greg-warsaw4708]

Gilmour, not Gilmore. By the way, Wikipedia, obviously not a Britannica in terms of reliability, makes a horrendous error (in the entry on Snakes and Arrows), stating it was the other way round (= that Lifeson inspired Gilmour to do songwriting on an acoustic guitar).

[@Aronight]

Monkey business is clearly one of the Bands best rarely heard numbers. Great surprise for pandemic pandemonium.

[@cmustard599]

I hope they follow through with Geddy's idea of an all-instrumental album. I've hoped for one for many years... this is where they shine. It would be a masterpiece, and probably one that would live on with recognition well outside the prog-rock world, the sparkling gem at the end of a long and brilliant career.

[@McgarickWAstate]

I totally agree. My thought too. I hope the get another drummer. Keep going... rip Neil

the garden tribute video.....

[@nhrocker2765]

Awesome...56 years old and my first show was cancelled at Cape Cod Coliseum in March of April 1980 because of an injury to Geddy. Rumors were it was a frisbee accident. The parking lot was not happy and the Cape Cod police donned their riot masks as there were still people trying to get there. I was 15 and took off from home and did not get back until 3 days later. I got to see them at the make up concert in September and had permission to go this time. I have seen them 6 times since 2001. Never, ever a better live show.

3:29 the way that Alex comes in with that driving guitar is awesome

[@KJz1]

Six-Five Alpha Male Alex is so underrated. Likely because he's played with 2 monster musicians his entire career. He is a truly amazing guitarist that I never get tired of listening to.

[@perryborn2777]

I will never tire of driving instrumentals, really gets the blood pumping. I know of something I think you'll appreciate if you like that sort of things. This is a song that I played in high school marching band (albeit not nearly as well as it is shown in the video), and the drumline just drives the song so beautifully. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXaYiGNpr6-ha7M the song is Spain, by Chic Corea, arranged by Jay Bocook for marching ensemble

[@DanZero77]

Rush needs way more instrumentals. It's sad that Clockwork Angels didn't have any, but that wouldn't work on such an amazing album. La Villa Strangiato, YYZ, Where's My Thing, Leave That Thing Alone, Limbo, this one, Hope, and MalNar. All awesome technical demonstrations to these guys.

[@jerrythepotato1919]

That's right there're no dislikes, KZbin.

[@aschule5684]

The most "over used" term on KZbin is "under rated" sometimes it is true but the comment below stating RUSH is under rated is anything but true!! From the beginning they attracted a lot of attention and established a very loyal fan base that grew and grew as the years went on, they also earned the respect of the piers from the start that also continued to grow as did their popularity. I personally don't see, feel or believe RUSH is in any way "under rated" or ever has been. Anyone that knows and can appreciate good music/ musicians knew from the start these guys were/are undeniably masters of their craft !!!

[@BrodyReyno]

I agree to an extent. A lot of casual music listeners don’t know much about these guys, yet the industry is very aware of them. Hell, so many bands wouldn’t exist without Rush

[@PrepareToBeRushified]

I agree, I love every song Rush has ever made and I love every greatest hits/compilation album, but most of those albums repeat a lot. Many of their great hits are forgotten.

I am so glad that these 3 became friends and made such great music. I find myself coming back again and again to all of their albums. Thank you!

I got to know it because it was the background of a radio station @radionica and I fell in love instantly --- Such a master piece

[@schmittelt]

I would say this is in Rush's top three instrumentals. YYZ and La Villa are one and two (interchangeable positions due to day and mood) and Monkey Business is third. No cotnest. One of their greats. One of The Greats. Right next to The Who's The Rock

Also Headlong Flight was gonna be the instrumental called "Get That Lampshade Off 'Yo Head" before Geddy and Alex were presented lyrics that fit the album. Clockwork Angels is amazingly well done.

[@jerrythepotato1919]

@Pryce2112 And how will one dislike change anything? The fact still remains: there will always be more likes than dislikes on a Rush video, because most people on KZbin know what good music is and come to it so they can listen to it -- not dislike it.
