The Sword - Working Man (Conquest of Quarantine, Lockdown Session)

[@chrisgill261]

The best, most underrated band in all of space and time.

[@RamiRamiRami89]

If we don't get this as a single Spotify release or something I riot

[@bulletv1]

SAME!

[@HomeOnDeranged]

Screw Spotify, but yes I'd buy this. And I haven't felt like buying anything from these guys in some time.

[@ld454]

Please them with proper offerings to Freya, and they may release this sacred single to mankind, lol

[@Rollin_7s]

We*. We riot.

[@fanboy50]

Out here sounding like Rush and Sabbath's bastard children. Thanks for another primo slab of rock and roll.

[@nicholascortez728]

that's how I've been describing these guys for years

[@TheHighsmith8]

Dude this band is so good. Thank you Guitar Hero 2 for showing me these guys when I was 17 in 2006.

[@MikeMoranX13]

Man I am so bummed The Sword called it quits. Saw em 6 times live!!!

[@jpjoker420]

5 for me and have thier autographs

[@VinceVermontCATG]

I just saw something on Instagram that said they were playing soon. Another cool band named The Well is opening for them

[@thefitchemist2123]

As someone whose favorite band is Rush and being a new fan to The Sword, this is damn solid

[@craigstuckey319]

Do yourself a favor and forget all about the newer Sword albums. Go immediately to the back catalog. Sword dropped off hard. They're almost unlistenable now.

[@thefitchemist2123]

@@craigstuckey319 That’s actually not the first time I heard that. Haven’t listened to any new stuff but their old stuff is friggin great

[@brotheraugustine]

@@thefitchemist2123 Their new stuff took a lot of getting used to, and it’s not as good as Age of Winters riff-wise, but it’s still solid 70s style classic rock.

[@milonkill]

​@@craigstuckey319 Unlistenable LOL GTFOH😂😂😂

[@kacpfamily3156]

Wow. Just Wow. This is why I love The Sword.

[@richardcamacho4417]

Drop tuning loveliness! Great version! You guys never disappoint!

[@tobiashoyden2644]

It sucks the band won't see this I saw them play in a rinky dink club in Houston TX after they released their first album. ASG and Torche opened for them It was such an amazing show. The stage barely came up to our knee and there were no barriers, we rocked out with a very young Sword, supporting a band that weren't aware what impact they were about to embark on. It seems so long ago, and yet just yesterday. I'm thrilled too hear them play music together. GO AWAY COVID!!!!

[@DanDeeg78]

Damn I love Aaron Rodgers' voice

[@nealboutin105]

Oh yeah, one of my favourite non-Peart Rush songs. A true classic done in a tasteful and very thick way. Awesome!

[@GRILLBUOY101]

yeah true but its one of Geddys favs!

[@rhinorootsgaming2395]

Rush would be proud!

[@kevinlaroche6058]

Cover or not best sword song

[@obsessedwithguitars3157]

Working Man tuned down to C?? YES. PLEASE.

[@NintenDub]

Yea I couldn't stand the original tunes played in standard. After that I kinda stopped listening. I loved the first 3 albums. I miss the old drummer and that heavy crash cymbal.

[@prizim]

@@NintenDub "i miss the old drummer" - wow i dont think ive ever heard anyone say that lol

[@NintenDub]

@@prizim trivett wingo baby. Fuck yea. You agree or no?

[@NintenDub]

@@prizim he just had a better stonery , heavy crashed ride better feel on the ride and hi hats, black Sabbath style of drums

[@prizim]

@@NintenDub oh my bad. i thought you were talking about Rush's original drummer

[@christinaricciardi4344]

I'm a huge RUSH fan, and I love your version, guys! So groovy!!! 😘

[@rogercardenas111]

Hell yeah luv me some RUSH way to SWORD Austin,TX. Mothertruckers!!!!🍻🤘👍🍻🤘🍺🤙👍🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@hescher997]

Love this band That crunch Its like that tingle you got as a kid for breaking windows

[@Jeff-p6i]

Rush the best &one if geddy's favorite songs.i love this song and I don't even work 😮

[@dannykorte1023]

fucking awesome gents! you guys deserve far more love than you get!

[@hescher2981]

Fkn nailed it

[@brandoncrockett8489]

Way to finish the track true to form, outstanding!

[@dragonfist1407]

I can't get enough of the bass in this cover, it really just dominates the main riff 😎

[@TheoIam]

I like the added low heavy side to it. Adds a tasty new vibe.

[@victusvanzant7454]

Hi, it’s 2023. Glad to see you again.

[@Magey_McMage]

Can we get 2112 Side A or The Necromancer lol?

[@chupsueys4234]

The necromancer is perfect

[@joehalo]

Witch Hunt!!!

[@andrewlockso2245]

Nah man, let's shoot for the stars and ask for Fountain of Lamneth, Hemispheres or bust!

[@d34dj3d1]

Yes The Necromancer!!!!!! Please do this

[@gregmerritt9366]

2112 side a has my vote.

[@sethvansickle9304]

These guys are so down to earth & have been gracious enough to put it cassettes too

[@evandrokonig]

Congratulations from Brasil. Great song, rush rules!!!!!!!

[@PROJECTM95]

we NEED this as a single

[@toddf910]

At 8yrs.old, this song was my first introduction to the greatness that is Rush. Loved it guy's. Thank you. ❤️

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

So everyone decided to cover Rush during the Pandemic. Obviousky THE musician’s band. Though, this sounds like it was actually released by Black Sabbath instead of Rush. Still a cool cover.

[@graves5696]

Bro when I first heard the original I thought it was Sabbath covered by Rush 😂.. I’m glad I’m not the only one !!

[@CB-ke7eq]

@@graves5696 it's those thunderous bass lines - such a heavy song for a mostly progish band.

[@jamesfetcho6315]

First time I heard Sword I thought it was Sabbath I hadn't heard.

[@fabbrunette]

Workingman is kind of doomy. It'll sound like Sabbath no matter who covers it

[@05EVORS]

Fyi: Sword played this at shows years ago ..older than '20 YT footage uploaded of it

[@mendyrckz76]

Awesome cover Guys! Love it!🤘🤘RIP Neil Peart

[@jameshartwell4345]

Dang. Made my eyes go blurry!!! Awesome!

[@Goldfishsoldier03]

Man this is an amazing blue collar tune.

[@sivvybee]

Best Cover I ever heard!

[@PhilScarr]

Oh, HELL YEAH!!!!!!!

[@roarlien2356]

Absolutely brilliant. RIP Professor

[@JeremyNoblitt]

Rush plus The Sword equals legendary status.

[@hokendog]

Love this version of the RUSH classic. Awesome job!

[@kevinlaroche6058]

Keep coming back here The sword is my favorite and this cover.... Fuck a lot better than I think I am

[@kevinlaroche6058]

i don't know why but this is my favorite sword song.

[@MrHarco77]

when this cover came out i was kind of on my freakout. great.

[@garysimmons5927]

I don’t think I have watched any video this much. Absofuckinglutely amazing. Am I alone in thinking this is better than the original?

[@fkninmatt]

thanks guys.

[@joemadsen2917]

Excellent job, RUSH should be proud.

[@georgelewis3631]

Seeing you guys play this live in the middle of Ebethron was one of the top 5 best nights ever

[@dead2u468]

Cant tell you how much this pumps me up. Fuck yeah dudes.

[@victusvanzant7454]

Sea of Spears is seriously my favorite song by you guys, but it gets little love. I HUMBLY REQUEST A SEA OF SPEARS VIDEO! Keep on rocking, my dudes. Can’t wait to see you guys in Irving!

[@kevinlaroche6058]

Obsessed with it. Fucking killer kick as song right here

[@ralphfiligenzi6180]

These guys do covers really good.

[@JorgeSM8]

Rush my favorite band and Boogie Nights is in my top 10 Best movies all times

[@kevinz8930]

Excellent

[@michaellrakes5521]

I got that same amplifier!

[@johnunderhill9666]

This is how you do a cover! Respectful to the original but adding your own style! Praying this gets the Sword interested in playing heavy again

[@craigstuckey319]

I wouldn't count on it. The Sword are dead. Check out Wolftooth if you're craving that old Sword sound.

[@CalDocky]

Yes!! More heavy please!

[@ardymosh7809]

This version is amazeballs. Like to see more covers. Ya’ll do a great job doin them.

[@carlsalazar4490]

Check out Doom side of the Moon. It’s a side project of the guitar player.

[@moejartin3258]

I can't stop playing this. One of the best covers I've ever heard, hands down! What's the cymbal setup? I'm trying to find that sound for myself

[@PetParadiseVB]

I’m so happy to see you guys playing! Much love!

[@chrisnoah6186]

I absolutely love the heavier tone that they put on this song

[@memevarg2530]

THAT TONE!

[@rayk48]

Bought the first Rush album when it came out in the 70s. They were a sensation with me and my group of friends! This is a great cover. Have seen the Sword twice in the last 10 years. Very much like Rush. They would have fit right in back in the day.

[@dougbuckler4821]

My fav Rush song

[@marshallmason1621]

Yeah baby!!

[@jacobfleischer5545]

An awesome cover of one of my favorite songs of one of my favorite bands by one of my favorite bands. Win-win-win

[@traileater]

Best cover of this tune ever! You rocked it tuned wayyy down

[@CvilleRoses]

Righteous! You guys should have played this one in Baltimore last week for the Rush tribute. It was awesome to see y'all out on the road again, come back soon!

[@jjwalker1156]

WOW, just WOW! Great cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ZeroCool8789]

so good.

[@irishkitkelly]

That short fill into the bridge is so great(and I'm a guitar player). Plus that vintage guitar treatment in the bridge is so tasty!!!!

[@kcfick4832]

Even @ i/8 Volume ... Still F'n AWESOME !

[@WhatHaveIMade]

Great job! I'm glad you guys are still rocking.

[@jdad6802]

F*cking awesome. Bad ass band and a bad ass song

[@mikelally9712]

Saw The Sword with Metallica and Down on the death magnetic tour been a fan ever since.

[@benvanasdale6273]

Me too in Columbus OH! What a killer show

[@toktulug5690]

You know I was just listening to Warp Riders yesterday and wondering what The Sword were up to these days. Guess I should have checked KZbin months ago.

[@weavingeternal]

These sessions have been fun to watch! Thank you ☺️

[@colincain7521]

Does anyone know what kind of guitar Kyle Shutt is playing?

[@kellyanderson3474]

Was wondering the same thing...

[@fkflip]

this song belongs up there with all the other great early doom songs.
