Rush- The Spirit of Radio (cover)

My band and I playing the spirit of radio at our music talent show at our old school. Were were only 13, so I'm impressed with our past selves.
Rate & please comment about my lack of stage presence :D Enjoy!!

[@WillyLee23]

dude this is fantastic! Why doesn't this have more views?! If only the audience knew just how tough this song is to pull off man.

[@mgohitman]

it is man the riff is a killer, one of the hardest riffs i tried to play but this guy nailed it really well

[@accordv6er]

dude... that was one of the best recreations of rush (obviously minus vocals) i have ever seen, and drummer, excellent job. thats Niel Pert, the best there ever was.

[@manleisan]

Wow, wow, wow! That's really good, really! I missed a singer, but it was great anyway..

[@LouieLively]

nice job guys. when you get someone to sing this that'll be just amazing.

[@ChynnaDoll87]

WAY impressed, you guys rock.

[@serik21]

You guys have talent, thats for sure. Especially the drummer, great job on the tempo changes :D

[@JaycobboBoatman]

@guitarguy940 yea with the high notes, at the time i wasn't able to do it well, or keep it flowing haha. thx for the comment!

[@cicerocezimbra]

Amazing!!!

[@rendog92]

that was an outstanding cover

[@InfestedCarnifex]

yeah it makes it look like your having fun and not just playing music

[@mgohitman]

holy crap this is awsome dude, keep it up!!

[@vannah1110]

You guys did very good! It was very cool to watch. I think Alex Lifeson would be proud to see a 14 year old playing this that well. :D

[@juliafoxwell776]

Woah...!

[@nevinkel]

Bless you for playing Rush at a school. This kids need to know what's up with the Holy Trinity!!!!

[@adesyndicate]

I give this video an A out of 5 stars.

[@seveertrebor]

...nice work, thats a tough one too pull off, good job!!

[@JaycobboBoatman]

thx man, and we recently got a singer like 3 weeks ago

[@JaycobboBoatman]

@JDrockerDUDE thx that means a lot man. it sounds a lot better now that we have a singer and were older and stuff though haha.

[@PamTomatoes]

hey that was awesome. I'm jealous, I can't play that riff.. thats a tough song, you guys did great!

[@rmartin930]

Nice work, guys...you're into the "classics," AND you're helping to perpetuate this among the newest generations! I agree, you need to find a singer. The instrumental is very tight, you've got that down (better than many). Get a singer, and you'll really having something special!!

[@jonktulip]

@AckAttack77 true i guess its because i dont listen to garage bands much used to the high quality

[@LedZeppRox13]

IF YOU MOVE AROUND NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN. haha kidding. but yeah dont be afraid to rock out guys!!! It keeps the crowd going and it makes it more fun. But awesome cover! rock on!

[@epicness14]

Nice touch with the bassist wearing a 2112 shirt :)

[@RushFox]

Great great cover for a school band! great cover period...if only you guys had a vocalist..itd be hard to find someone to cover geddy lees voice =P

[@jcbak]

Nice Job......

[@JaycobboBoatman]

thx for noticing

[@mikethekid1980]

I'd sing for ya guys :P Great cover guys!

[@JaycobboBoatman]

(we know we didnt move cuz it was our first time playing for anyone, so we were nervous)

[@cbblazer]

thats pretty great for your age im impressed

[@atb448]

During the solo transition I was waiting for someone to yell: "OF SALESMEN!!!!!"

[@boomwa2002]

thumbs up if you were singing for them!

[@JaycobboBoatman]

ty, we try lol. and thx all others

[@JaycobboBoatman]

ssry bout the bad recording, theres a buncha crap before the song and after, so just skip to like 2:00

[@chrisismename]

nice

[@Nathan_Breeze]

Thats a great cover. Im glad the bassist didn't use a pick. Sounds really great like that. Guitarist has good chord structure, but you need to flow better with those high notes starting at 3:08. The transiition back to the fast riff after that should be more smooth, dont make a sudden stop, keep the sound moving. Drummer you have it right on. Neils off beat snares are no match from you and your volume ballences well with the guitarist. Awesome you guys, call me up to sing :P

[@vectron12]

FEEL THE MUSIC GUYS!! but yeah amazing just need a singer

[@ssjdopey]

did i see a slayer shirt? nice

[@AckAttack77]

@JakeMeeble they're with 50w amps i bet, what do you expect?

[@PrestonZero]

good job, you guys should move around more though :]

[@JaycobboBoatman]

@loser4444333221 thx for the constructive criticism. and i dont see what that band has to do with anything- considering they arent even playing rush or spirit? there are a lot of good cover bands out there.

[@toolshedmusicman]

@MazingSk8ter thats wat im saying!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Butterman265]

Now if only you had a singer.

[@AckAttack77]

@indeans48 not true, i sang along ^_^

[@goodjob151]

damn these kids are fucking bad ass

[@XcatisX]

We can't all be Geddy Lee dude. =P

[@EMBOBZ2112]

Good cover for 14 year olds! Bet none of the audience know who Rush are though .. RUSH ARE AMAZING.

[@o01R0NM4N0o]

hes just concentratin thats y

[@JaycobboBoatman]

yeah, i get that, but were just amateurs unno. in time we'll be ripping more of our own thing

[@longforgotten4823]

No vocals? That makes me sad! Great playing tho!

[@jmd130]

no singer? :'( It was pretty good though. I

[@missfiggypie]

yeah you guys really did a number here! way to ROCK! rush would be proud youngins have such good taste in music! :) i just created a new account here if you wana check out my only video I'm more anxious & happy to hear any feedback I can... keep ROCKIN!

[@pgallarza1]

ahaha modesti, yo good job Jake.. Boatman aha

[@trevor8930]

how old are you guys

[@JaycobboBoatman]

heh, ur right about that, but nobody would sing it for exactly that reason- geddys voice is too hard to master

[@flabdude3]

U r aware that this song has lyrics right? What was the front man taking a wiss?

[@lamman08]

great job for your age. all you need is a singer. you might have a good futere as a band.

[@ZribTurd]

@JaycobboBoatman Get a new video of your newer band, and if its better as you say, we'll be the judge of that xD

[@sixstringsentence]

you need to get yourselves a singer you fuckin rock. Put an advert up in your school or something

[@JohnnyRandom89]

@JaycobboBoatman dude dont take that shit from him it was awesome and sounded really good, most people i htink like straight covers. so dude dont listen to jewgold and keep doing covers like that man.

[@toolshedmusicman]

at 00:10 is that kurt fucking cobain

[@LordAbriel]

I'm sure that all three of the band members are a bit nervous, and probably concentrating a bit too hard so as not to screw up. That's all understandable, but the point still remains. If you're bored playing in front of an audience, then that's your fault, NOT theirs. And if you're using the "Im bored" excuse as an explanation for your less than enthusiastic performance, then again, I have to say, no matter how good you are technically.. you're not gonna be any fun to watch or listen to.

[@ijustfarted777]

bass player needed to sing... and you needed to be a little more enthusiastic... other than that it was amazing

[@iojwbdvojhbdf]

haha the guitarist looks bored. but still amazing

[@asl1095]

Why did they dress up a statue and put a guitar on it?

[@c13c132]

This would be ok for a cover filmed just for the sake of a cover just to put on youtube to show off skill, but when actually performing you actually have to look like your feeling the music and having a good time or it looks terrible and the audience will probably get bored. Lol the guitarist looks like he's sleeping .

[@Socialactionprojectb]

MOVE u look like statues, but i know u guyz are nervous, still good, and ur amp soundz terrible sometimes through out the song

[@Mafaka881]

guitarist hast to get into it more cause he was looking at his guitar for ever and had no expressions at all. C'mon man

[@macornman]

good except drummer

[@mufc0794]

dude u need to move more give it more energy ur to static and makes it look more boring ur a very good player but u need to move to keep the crowd going show more enthusiasm and lift ur head from the guitar

[@jonktulip]

drummers too loud hes drowning out the others

[@JaycobboBoatman]

hahahahahahahahahaha

[@Dubickimus]

your lookin a little stiff, good playing but losen up. KICK OUT THE JAMS DUDE

[@ZribTurd]

It's good, but youre like a freaking statue man...

[@trjb1767]

Good job.
