Who are Rush? - Music History

#Rush #RushDocumentary #geddylee
This is the story of Rush, a canadian rock band that, in my opinion, has covered every musical bass and more. Comprised of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart, Rush has explored progressive, soft and hard rock amongst other genres in their 41 year career.
update:
Neil has since tragically passed away after a three year battle with cancer. RIP.
Rush was a Canadian rock band formed in Toronto in 1968 by guitarist Alex Lifeson, drummer John Rutsey and bass guitarist/vocalist Jeff Jones, who was immediately replaced by bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee. After Lee joined, the band went through several configurations before arriving at its classic power trio lineup with the addition of drummer/lyricist Neil Peart in July 1974, who replaced Rutsey four months after the release of their self-titled debut album. This lineup remained intact for the remainder of the band's career.

With the passing of Neil Peart , I would have to say " every " RUSH song is my favorite . Rest in peace Professor , you will be greatly missed , but your legacy lives in us all .

[@williamcarpenter6715]

Natural Science..... that was Neil's favorite.... and mine..... he said he had a "lingering fondness" for it.....

[@davidgordon702]

Right...How can a true RUSH fan choose just one song, to be their favorite? I have favorite RUSH songs, from each of their eras. Although, I believe that there is nothing better than hearing them play One Little Victory, live in concert. Unfortunately, that will never occur again. The passing of the professor was a true loss to a whole lot of people. And he never would / could be replaced by anyone...

It's impossible to choose 1 song and say ( that's the best one ) If every song and instrumental could be made into one, I guess, that would be the one. Rush is one of the best rock groups of all time.

The Fountain of Lamneth is similar but in a much younger and brighter way. Neil knew that CWA would be the last album. They ended with the same poetic exceptionalism that they began with. I just wish I could tell him "thank you" one more time.

My wife has a love/hate relationship with that song. She loves the song, but hates that it makes her cry whenever she hears it. As much as she loves that song, she can’t listen to it without tearing up, for particular reasons.

My favorite Rush song is a master of composition, lyrics, bass, and guitar. It is also on one of the greatest albums they have ever released, Moving Pictures. My favorite Rush song is Red Barchetta!

[@davidgordon702]

Great C.D., great song...Red Barchetta is a great song. My favorite is One Little Victory. I love turning my car stereo up, as loud as it will go, and jamming to that song, from this live bootleg C.D. that I have. It is absolutely phenominal. The loss of the professor is a true loss to the music industry. As well as the people who loved him. He will truly be missed...R.I.P. Neil Peart the professor...

[@Yashua2Rule]

These are grandsons of great musicians and great societies of the past, same with British musicians. That's why a few have the talent of great musicians even when their young. It's interesting to me how closely related to classical music some of these bands were, such as Yes, Rush, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Led Zepplin, Moody Blues, Frank Zappa, Van Halen, etc. You can hear it in the way they change keys, and take off from various key centers with ease like a bird jumping from branch to branch. It's already inside their mind for them to reveal with less effort than you might think. It always just sounds so great.

[@RUSHallthewayable]

Neil Peart R.I.P was the best drummer ever. The band was the best RUSH!!! I love ya'll!

[@demonomania3147]

Rush is the epitome of a successful rock band with their consistency and technicality.

[@willsworldofmusic3201]

[@charlesmolins7700]

I discovered RUSH when I was 12. My older brother was a part of Columbia House and records started flowing into the house. One day I saw the cover of All the World's a Stage, slapped it on the turntable and the rest is history.

[@peterlindqvist9789]

Great video, thanks.. I discovered Rush as a young teenager in mid 80s with the album Grace Under Pressure. 'Red Sector A' will stay with me forever..

[@powdertrax9742]

Not my favorite Rush song, but I went to the Grace under pressure tour in Seattle and what I do remember was watching Neils drum part.

[@anthonyvasquez584]

La Villa Strangiato or perhaps The Camera Eye. Depends upon whether or not I want lyrics at that moment. So hard to pick a favorite when there are so many to choose from and so many styles over their long career. No band evolved as much as Rush - love it or not. The most talented and innovative rock band I've ever known.

I started digging Rush in 76, age 12. Caress of steel period. Lots of good bands at the time. Little did I know how great they would become. Probably my 1st choice until 84 grace under pressure.

Definitely a good choice!

Same time period , Totally different story , I was 9 staying at my grandma's , all my aunts and uncles grown and out of the house cept 1 , he was the baby and like 10 yrs older then me, I was leaving my aunts room , thats where we stayed when staying with grandma , uncles room right across the hall , I start to head out to do whatever a 9yr old does, I hear my uncle yell for me to come here , He's getting ready for Rush concert and jamming to Caress of steel , Telling me how this is the best band ever etc. etc. , I try to leave but he makes me sit down and says you have to listen to this song first , He pulls out a record and puts on Bytor and the snowdog , 1 song cool no problem , Did not know it at the time, but I would eventually fall in love with this band to , around age 12 also I declared Rush my fav too. , 2112 , Exit stage left , Moving Pictures Yeah I was hooked , Same uncle took me to my first ever concert for my conformation , I will never say I'm Rush biggest fan (My Uncle) but they are is and always will be my fav. , Bytor and the Snowdog is my Fav. just because of the sentimental behind it , also because its the first song with Niel and in it you can feel the ride Rush was going to take you on , It's like "stick with us ,your about to go on 1 hell of a journey".

I have many favorite Rush songs but If I had to pick a top choice, and it isn't easy, I'll go with the transition into Discovery. When I first listened to 2112 I was a teenager in the early 80s and was forever changed because of this era. Rush awareness in particular. This event helped paved the way to many other personal discoveries.

[@yboryt]

Brilliant choice and well said!

[@armyguy4124]

My older brother left for college. Also left his record player and a few RUSH albums. Wanting to be more like him I started listening. In my younger years I certainly appreciated the music, but as I grew older I began to believe RUSH may be the greatest 3 piece band ever. Wrote their own songs. And made sounds from instruments I never thought possible. Years later I finally saw them play on KZbin. Retro RUSH is my fav

[@reilly8226]

Red Sector A is the best for sure...also love: Turn the Page Vital Signs Driven Dreamline By-Tor and the Snow Dog

I can see why you say this Edward and agree broadly. Have you checked Greta Van Fleet out? Young band, with clear Rush and Led Zep influences, rocking out.

[@parkeaudio1338]

I think a huge part of the issue is the ease of access to gear. Anyone can make a song now and put little thought or effort. The album I being phased out for single releases with no thought or concept to the previous song and the following song. I believe we should bring back the concept album and challenge our listeners and nit push out easy listening crap

[@sterlingbadon9891]

You can't just leave one favorite song of RUSH. There are so many good songs. One of my favorite Albums is Moving Pictures.

[@mrbill121059]

There will never be another 3 piece band that can write and perform together the way these 3 guys did. As a drummer myself I would cry every time I watched him play nothing but genius both in writing lyrics and as a percussionist because he was so much more than just a drummer. If I have say a favorite album I guess I would say A farewell to kings. As far as a favorite song every single song they ever played. Period!!!!!

[@willsworldofmusic3201]

Agreed!

[@karlsnell2166]

Epic band, I saw thirty of their shows. The song I always come back to is Limelight, somehow it has always spoken to me. Their lexicon of music is legend and I love all of it. The loss of Neil in 2020 was a hard hit. Besides being the god of drums, Neil was their lyricist and wrote amazing books. Rush was unlike any other band. They walked alone in the halls of music. The one thing that can still be said of Rush, since they are no longer are making music, is that they have to this day, the most loyal fan base of any band ever.

[@philipallison7068]

Hard to pick a favourite in such a great catalogue but for me it was the lyrics of 'Subdivisions' that converted me to a fan.

[@terrystowers6085]

I’ve been a fan since the early-mid 1980s, just after Moving Pictures exploding and Signals was in the works. Listening to The Garden gets me a little nostalgic for the early years of my life when I first discovered this extraordinary band. It’s a little bit like losing an old friend, there’s a real sense of loss associated with knowing that it was over. Then, Neil passed away, suddenly to those of us on the outside, and it really was over. It had absolutely been over once Neil was diagnosed three and a half years before he passed. The man was a real inspiration to me when I was learning to play drums in the mid to late 1980s. I spent a lot of time alone in my bedroom listening to him on those great Rush albums, playing The Trees, La Villa Strangiato and Natural Science among all the others. Neil’s effect on me was profound enough that it lasts until today. In fact, I just played a show a few hours ago and I thought of Neil during a conversation I had with a member of the audience while I was on break. I don’t play much like him, but there are elements of my playing style that can be traced directly back to a specific Rush album, haha…I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to grow old with them…👍

I cannot listen to ANY Rush song ever again without getting a lump in my throat. No other band has had such a profound and positive effect on my life. I am in love with every song they ever wrote. No other band compares. Pink Floyd, my second favorite band, is the only other band who can come close. I'll go to my grave knowing I was blessed to be alive to see their entire career.

The Fountain of Lamneth will always be an all-time favorite, but I agree. It totally depends on where you are in life. There's a RUSH song for every circumstance I've ever been in. Just absolutely insane how impactful three dudes can be with some instruments, a pen, and paper.

This was a brilliant video mate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@peteravis8648]

What strikes me about the RUSH story is that it is one of Metamorphosis and Rebirth. They started as a capable, morphing, undefinable worm -- rough and ready, experimental, asserting their unique style (2112) on everyone (including the record companies), and became a beautiful, furry, exotic caterpillar! Then personal tragedy ended the caterpillar's life as we knew it. Curling up to self-isolate and self-protect, RUSH cocooned for five years - silent, fighting inner demons, on personal intellectual journeys (Peart, a modern Odysseus!). With Vapor Trails, the cocoon bursts open (One Little Victory, Ghost Rider!!!) -- and an astoundingly beautiful confident butterfly soars magnificently above our human highway (The Stars Look Down, Vapor Trails, Secret Touch!!). "There's a shadow on the road behind...there's a shadow on the road ahead" the butterfly is headed east over a day on a motorcycle - the wind blows away memories and demons -- we know this, we have done this. Listen to those instruments -- fused! I love the Vapor Trails album. I rate it even higher (based on its affect on me) than the biggies (Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves, Hemispheres, 2112). Mature, profoundly human, sublimely driving rock!

[@rudolphparsons6493]

Red sector A to me is one of the best rock futuristic songs I've ever heard.The song is timeless and runs chills down my spine every time I listen to it .A great remembering story about the holocaust era,about the pain and suffering that the Jews encountered by the hands of the Nazi regime.

Nice summary of their career. Ha, first rush song I learned was "What you're doing" back in high school days. My drummer in my band was from Michigan, they were big there first. Great stuff even greater after Peart. My favorite album 2112. Favorite song? So many. Maybe tied between working man and the first side of 2112. Not a lot of bands could match the vocals but some awesome music to be inspired by.

[@dannydavis4633]

Its so hard to pick a favorite song from them i love everything to signals . After signals I didnt really follow them to much . If I had to pick one song..... it would br Xanadu, but there are so many . I think 2112 is just brilliant and not just the first side of the album , the whole album is just awesome

My best friend loves early rush. Ladt few years he is expanding himself finally. He is a huge sports fan. So imagine how much (i patiently waited 2 years) i enjoyed cramming leave that thing alone down his throat. It is what they used to cut to commercial for atlanta braves games for bout 10 years. He still is distraught. Just really pissed i set him up for that fall so long

Finalboss711 I would add Bravado and The Pass to that list. Some of Neil’s best lyrics.

Listen to every album! It's totally worth it! A RUSH album a day keeps bad thoughts away!

Thank you...glad someone pointed that out. If you're going to pretend to be a rock journalist, at least get the song titles right.
