RUSH are musician-nerds and they are the gatekeepers to all of us other musician-nerds that have looked up to them as the players we aspire to become. I learned to play this song on drums when I was 14. It took me forever listening to it over and over on a walkman back in 1984. Tech today, I could slow it down and pick up every note played and every cymbal hit. I would be so far ahead if I'd had the technology of today back in 1984. Love your videos and your reactions!

Shaq, maybe others commented on this way back, but YYZ (here in the Great White North, Z is pronounced 'zed') is the call sign for Toronto's Pearson International Airport. And the intro to the song has the guitars banging out the letters "Y-Y-Z" over and over again, in Morse code. Just like their lyrics in their other songs, RUSH made you think about what you'd just heard, over and over again.

Brah, I've watched this like DOZENS of times!! I'm SO a fan of your enthusiasm and openness to not only Rush, but also Disturbed!! GOD BLESS YOU, SIR!!! I'm a HUGE fan!! GOD BLESS!!!

Let me enlighten your day with some fun facts, brother. YYZ, pronounced "why-why-zed", is the abbreviated identification code for the Toronto Pearson International Airport, which the band frequently travels through as it is near their hometown. Alex Lifeson brought the idea to the band after he heard the distinct rhythm of the letters YYZ being played in morse code, and they built this entire crunchy groove off of it. To quote Peart and Lee, "It's always a happy day when YYZ appears on our luggage tags". I think this song embodies that feeling of doing what they love, jamming out, traveling to far off places and blowing people's minds with their sound. Amazing stuff, huh? - . - - | - . - - | - - . .

Tom Sawyer live in Rio or try out YYZ at the same concert. The crowd is jumpin’! It’s craxy how good they are live. The bassist is also the lead vocalist AND plays the keyboards. And he can do it all live and well! Great reaction!

"No fucking way." That is exactly what came out of my mouth the first time I heard this song back in 1984 or so. Now, if you really want to blow your mind, check out La Villa Strangiato if you haven't already done so. And RIP Neil, thank you for your awesomeness.

Me too Walrus i was hooked first time i ever heard them 1976 i was 11,,,, RIP Neil,,,,undisputed Goat

You were listening to one of the greatest drummers in the world Neil ‘the Professor’ Peart.

@James Wimer I am so damn jealous of you! I would've cried if I got to meet Neil. Hell, I'd cry if I got to meet Geddy and Alex too. Seen them live 23 times since 2002 and I just want to sit down and have a conversation with them. They're such amazing guys and I've looked up to them ever since I can remember. I thank my dad for raising me to be a Rush fan😁 He's seen them 45 times since 1978 though lol.

I love your face..and it's fun to watch when we all know something sick is about to come at you...ty for making this music I take for granted so sweeeet again!!! 💙💙💙

Without a doubt this is one of the best if not the best reaction to rush I've ever seen. Dude is real

When the sound goes left to right like that in the speakers it’s called pan effect. There are many different ways to apply that.

The singer sometimes plays the bass with one hand, the keyboard with the other, and sings all at the same time LIVE.

Yes, definitely watch YYZ live in Rio. I guarantee you've never seen a crowd get into it like this one.

YYZ is the IATA airport identification code of Toronto Pearson International Airport, near Rush's hometown. The band was introduced to the rhythm as Alex Lifeson flew them into the airport.

Used to work at this bar, had an old guy come in, noticing me, a very young kid with long hair, and asked me what kind of music I liked. I told him I loved old school rock and metal, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Sex Pistols, Aerosmith, all them lot. He asked me if I ever heard of Rush, I hadn't at the time. He gave me a list of albums and specific songs to listen to, YYZ being one of them, and the 2112 album being another. Some of the best music I ever listened to, and I love that man for getting me into them. R.I.P Neil Peart.

The best thing about you Shaq is you get it! I had goosebumps watching you react. My first time hearing Rush back in 77 same reaction, WTF am I hearing? Great stuff

Bro-- love your reaction for real. Yes, you have to see them live. They're real and they're fabulous. No better band on earth. They broke the mold and it only fits them.

I ♥ listening to you expand your mind to great music. I had the Honor to see RUSH in concert 2 x's. I listen to Rock and Old School RAP. As I expand my 2 boys 1/2 white1/2 black listen to ALL MUSIC. BUT... I'M just saying... you can't but help but Love RUSH, just like you cannot help but Love Tupac, Biggie, Scarface, Kool G RAP, Eric B and Rakim. The GREATS!!!!!!!!!! EXPAND YOUR MINDS.... BEST THING I EVER DID! Love Your Videos

Power trio baby. YYZ is the call sign for Pearson Airport in Toronto ON Canada. Cheer!

“I gotta see them live”.... Me: oh boy...who’s gonna tell him

Rush is the experience of a lifetime. Goodbye Neal; thank you. Thank all of you. I'm so sorry for your loss. Maximum respect as a fellow musician.

If you wanna hear Geddy ( Their Bassist/Vocalist/Keyboard player) spit some absolute bars check out Spirit of The Radio or Freewill.

I wish I was a music nerd at their level, love them or hate em, they earned their keep for four decades. This particular album was flawless.
