Awesome Reaction To Rush - Presto

[@jasonwilliams6005]

Rush is and always will be my favorite band. Every era, every album is incredible to me. I miss Rush...

[@PromLesbian]

Their music and lyrics are for Only one race! The Human Race 😌

[@allisterfiend_2112]

Long time Rush fan here. Rush - Presto album is very underrated. It's in my top 5 Rush album list.

[@chazstone6744]

Every Rush album is underrated.

[@klantic2]

I totally agree with you. When I first bought this CD I listened to it one time from start to finish and I thought it was horrible. I threw it in the drawer and didn't touch it for years. Then I found it again and listened to it again, and again, and again. It's now one of my top as well. I guess I was thinking it would be more "proggy" then their other stuff.

[@mojoriot2293]

I saw the tour with Primus opening...Primus was amazing, but Rush was kinda boring. (I was also with my future ex wife, that didn't help, lol.) However, many years later I saw them again & it was a great show, & they played for almost 3 hours.

[@chazstone6744]

@@mojoriot2293 I, too, saw them on this tour, in Orlando. It was my first time seeing them and I was blown away by the quality. I only ended up seeing them about a half-dozen times after that, but they were always consummate professionals.

[@douglascuffee4712]

Presto is my FAVORITE album from them.

[@tonygarza4200]

Rush- Available Light Camera Eye Both are amazing, Camera Eye is almost 11mins, totally worth every minute. 🔥👍🔥👍

[@nattijeff]

RUSH Army is present and prepared for duty!

[@alexbonner2128]

Available Light is another great song from this awesome album

[@briancampbell4587]

I think it has one of Alex's best solos.

[@OldBluesChapterandVerse]

“Presto” is one of their finest songs. Nice to see someone giving it some attention. Check out “Marathon.”

[@BrakRulesAll]

Solid choice.. live version from the Time Machine tour is outstanding.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6LHiJSVfs6jars

[@Shigawire]

Oh yes, Marathon is amazing!

[@raymondrochajr9621]

Presto and Marathon are Masterpieces!!

[@mduncan65]

Load up any Rush you have in the vault!! Can't get enough of this unique and supremely talented band!! Enjoyed the reaction to Presto!

[@Scooter730]

Presto has been my goto album lately, the lyrics and music are just incredible, but then every Rush album is so it's no surprise, but they have really held me in thrall lately!!

[@tomc217]

Such a great tune. That line.. "If I can wave my magic wand, I'd set everybody free" ...gets me every time!

[@zandertails7090]

Yes you understand it is so relevent for today

[@johnratcliffe7207]

Great reaction to my favorite band. Thanx. ✌

[@drew65sep]

Never figured I'd see anything from this LP on ANY reaction channel...kinda made my day. On another note, and just throwing it out there, "Witch Hunt" and, if you're into the Space Program, "Countdown" are a couple of kinda obscure cuts you'd probably enjoy. I've also been waiting for some of their first LP to start popping up. No matter what anyone says, that album is heavy as hell...considering the state of music when it came out. The early KISS stuff is nasty as well...

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

I’ve noticed a bunch of Presto album reactions in the past couple of weeks or so but not much before that.

[@thekinkynun]

One of my favorite rush tunes.

[@cheryl83]

So many people are discovering Rush and feel exactly like you do. There's nothing now, nor then, that's anything like them. Neil's lyrics are mind blowing and Geddy sings them in the exact way they should be sung. Alex is a god, of course. They are a perfect trifecta. It brings me so much happiness to see them loved and appreciated by another generation, as much as we did throughout their journey from the beginning. 💙

[@agchee]

Presto is one of my favorites. Very deep & different than their norm. Thanks for reacting. I've seen people request songs from Clockwork Angels. But I always recommend listening to the whole album, start to finish, with the album booklet. Would be awesome to get a reaction of that whole album & see how you feel about it by the end.

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

I thought it was below par at the time but I very much appreciate it now. Funny how that happens!

[@salvatorediangelo453]

This is one of my absolute favorite Rush songs and that is saying a lot. The way the song develops and the musical builds and harmonies are outstanding. The way Alex's guitar fades out at the end is beautiful, I always picture an eagle flying over a snow capped mountain on a clear day when I hear it!

[@stromghouls]

alex is one of my favorite guitar player. he has an unmistakable signature sound on the guitar. one of alex influence on the guitar is steve hackett. check the song riding the colossus. you will hear and feel steve influence on alex in his playing. another guy with incredible guitar playing influenced by both alex lifeson and steve hackett is douglas A ott from the band enchant. check the song broken waves from the band enchant for a guitar solos that will pierce your heart. i sincerely believe that alex lifeson most heart touching guitar solo is from the rush song you bet your life.

[@wisteria3213]

One of my favorite RUSH songs

[@joconnell8145]

A great tune off an awesome release!! I was pissed they didn't play this on tour that year...I brought 4 glow sticks and was going to throw them up high at a very specific point in the song - at 2:41 of this reaction video. Another awesome tune from this release is Scars, Neil did his drum solo during that tune on this tour. Great reaction, thanks!! Get those other reactions out!!!!!!!

Rush\s music truly is the music of my life, I started listening to them when I was a teenager and I just turned sixty lol. Timeless music with a message and supported with the most amazing instrumentation

[@nodrush80]

Life changing music? Very true.

[@johannwilder1437]

This guy “gets” it. Not everyone gets Rush. It’s a very unique and acquired vibration which some just can’t connect with. But for those who do…this band will change your life, as you said.

[@jimmorris9928]

Another great reaction. Rush is my favorite band. Started listening to them in the late 70’s and you’re 💯 right. They did make music that change your life.

[@mokitty]

Rush's music is the soundtrack of my life and Rush's music has changed my life. True, indeed.

[@leemiracle6840]

Have seen every concert since power windows except the last one, missed they one. Never disappointed.

I think you meant "tours" and not "concerts" - or have you been to like 1500 shows?

I would suggest Bravado live 2004 R30, Jacob's Ladder - Las Vegas 7/25/15, A Passage to Bangkok - Live in Rotterdam or Ghost of a Chance.

[@genwcd91]

Another one of their underrated gems !

[@LycIrisAurora]

The Pass by RUSH. Please react to The Pass

[@stevencarl4384]

Great back to back songs

[@markgrvr1]

And to think there are those of us out here who have been with them from the start. I for one have been a fan since the release of their first album. My first concert was when they were the opening act for Nazareth in 1975. 32 shows later i saw their last show ever at the Los Angeles Forum August 1st 2015.

Headlong Flight from the Clockwork Angels album is a masterpiece

[@raymondrochajr9621]

Man I love the emotion that you have listening to Rush! It's the same feeling I have listening to them for 40 years! Thanks for sharing homie!

[@christophercheck1590]

I love that line, "I radiate more heat than light." It's been a guiding principle for me, whenever I converse with someone, and especially disagree. The heat dissipates and hurts, but the light shows reality and shares knowledge. We should always remember which we emanate more of. This was the first Rush album I ever bought with my own money as a kid. And it still holds a special place in my heart. It's not my favorite, but it's got so many great gems in it. Anyone who hasn't heard "the Pass" yet owes it to themselves. Talk about a moving song.

[@craiga1128]

Im a big Rush head anything from start to finish is golden. Check out driven or natural science or scars.....great job man!!

[@seanmoloney7797]

I am so glad they finally decided to play this song live on the Snakes and Arrows tour. I really don't know why they did not play it on the Presto tour.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Totally!

[@johntabakos1295]

A great tune from a great ( often dismissed) album !! Check out Show Don't Tell, Available light from this album. And ,,,,,,,Ghost of a chance from Roll the Bones . You're right,, Rush music has feel and emotion 😀👍🏻

[@Johnny67557]

Well worth going down this rabbit hole!!! I've been a fan since my introduction in the early 80's.

[@mojoriot2293]

You gotta do a reaction/lyrical breakdown for the Rush song "Trees." It is POETRY! And has a message that's still very much relevant today! If no one requests it, I will next time...🤘😁

[@wuhdee1]

Yes, This.

[@christophercheck1590]

I would argue that the Trees has TWO different meanings, depending on how you read into it (and as my personal politics have changed as I aged, it still resonates to me, just in a different way now). That's beautiful writing, when there is evidence for multiple different, complex readings of a text.

[@billhenderson2459]

Rush is a great band. One song of theirs that gets overlooked is 'New World Man". Could you please react to that one?

I have to say, working man is not overlooked. At all. It's one of the 5 or 6 tracks that play on the radio, which is rare to begin with, I'll grant you that.

[@gregcormier2379]

Totally agree with you Alex is highly underrated as a guitarist. He often is over shadowed by the rhythm section of Geddy and Neil but if you listen closeLy he does a lot of little accents and chordal playing during the verses that add so much to the song. He really shines on his solos and has a very distinctive sound that when you hear it you know it’s Alex playing.

[@tammiec4937]

Rush is one of the greatest bands of all time . R.I.P Neil . I have seen them live twice. They were incredible! There will l never be another band of this magnitude. 40 years together. Incredible musicians. Could you please react to Virtuality off the album Test For Echo! Welcome to the best fan base ever! You could never overload us with Rush.

This is rushs version of a love song from love's perspective only rush can make such a thing.

[@ginamarandino6451]

Are you kidding me??? More Rush please! Nothing's better and put you in a great mood! It's so nice to see you really appreciating them and getting their backstory. Someone once asked Eddie Van Halen what it felt like to be the greatest guitar player on the planet and he said I don't know ask Alex Lifeson. you're absolutely right he's very underrated and so is Geddy on the base! If you haven't done so already check out some of their newer stuff, half the world, driven, test for echo, far cry

[@kennethtilton6137]

Presto is one of those albums that didn't get much airplay...or any airplay...but it has some real gems....like Chain Lightning and War Paint and a favorite of mine, The Pass...the only song to bring me to tears. I planned to see them on the Presto tour but the show we drove to was sold out. I saw them on the next tour, Roll The Bones, so they did some of the Presto songs on that show.

[@SamuelDavidDeLuce]

RUSH is the greatest band of all time End of story

One of your viewers requested, “New World Man”. I Wonder if Neil Peart wrote this, thinking of Geddy Lee? Just a curious mind. Glad you enjoyed this song! This song has lifted me many times.

[@steelydougie6947]

I'm glad to see that you appreciate the fine lyrics as well as even better playing and the level of musicianship these guys definitely raise the bar for all of music but I was wondering if you had taken the time to find out who in the band writes all the lyrics for all the songs?

[@jaywitt5171]

Good to see you back on Rush! How about two songs in one since the first song leads into the second; and the second is less than 3 minutes: A Farewell to Kings (official video version) Closer to the Heart (official vid)

This is a great example of Rush doing an anti-chorus. Chorus’s are usually the upbeat part of the song but Rush would often flip it and play slower chorus....brilliant. Oh Alex’s outro solo so beautiful

"This band makes music that will change your life and sounds like the soundtrack of your life" it's nice to hear someone new to rush say that. I say that but I've been a fan since single digits so like I am totally biased

Alex is a fantastic player his parts are brilliantly constructed and executed, he even has a chord named after him, the only other guitarist with that accolade is Jimmy Hendrix, the problem is he's in a band with two absolute monsters.

I haven't made any Rush requests because I'm a disabled veteran and consequently, aren't a Patreon sub. Be that as it may, I have been a Rush fan for over 45 years (since 1975), and if you want recommendations, I can provide an extensive list. Yes, please provide all your Rush reactions. I have 1 or 2 songs from each of their 20 studio albums (I include the EP, Feedback). Yes, you get it. With Rush, it's the MESSAGE! The music paints a picture for the right hemisphere and the words take care of the left hemisphere. Rush IS a journey and can indeed provide the soundtrack of a life. They have done that for me. I began at age 15 (almost 16) in '75 with the Fly By Night album, which I bought as an EIGHT TRACK (yeah, I'm really old school). With the first few chords of the opener, "Anthem," I was hooked. I've grown up with this band. I'm glad you took the time to also watch the documentary, "Beyond the Lighted Stage" because it shows the humble beginnings of Rush. I joined after "The New Guy" was in the band for less than a year. The Holy Trinity has prevented me from taking my own life hundreds of times. Yes, the rabbit hole is DEEP, my friend. Welcome to the mission of Rush. (RIP, Professor...) 😢
