This is NOT just some run of the mill musician fucking around on his day off from the factory....this took some time to do and above all talent. The level of musicianship that's behind this is unparalleled to anything I've seen before. Actually I've never seen anything like this before. The drum fills, the bass parts, the clean transition from song to song albeit in the most intricate sections of the songs and then there's the La Villa lead..................damn if I didn't absolutely love this I'd hate you for being so damn good!!! This truly is a one of a kind video. You are the shit!!!!

This proves what is possible....though I feel like I just witnessed the IMpossible. There is 'NO WAY that Antoine has not met(??) Alex, Geddy and Neil. He definitely has earned that. it was like time stopped as i watched this video...he brought me into that unique 'Rush space' with his excellence. I am glad that he never sang...because if he by chance sings like Geddy, that would have been TOO MUCH for me, and I fear I would need somebody to push me around in a shopping cart, after that. Mind BLOWN. Hail Antoine...you made my week.

It's hard to describe how good this is.

This is pretty nuts. Astonishing even. However, I say this with kindness - I'd like to hear all this talent put into your music and then posted. Learning note for note (albeit insanely complex) tributes to other peoples songs is cool, but my guess is that your talent can explode in original music as well.

I am speechless. That was amazing in so many ways. The Spirit of RUSH is within you. God Bless!

It is so nice to watch a tribute cover that was done long before Neil Peart passed away. It is sad to see how many people only value some bands / musicians after their death.

Whenever I think I’m something special at ANYTHING in life, I can always count on KZread to put me in my place.

The way this effortlessly transitions from one Rush track into the next is a joy on the eyes and ears. His level of skill over many instruments is absolutely incredible. I could watch this all day. Check out the one he does for Genesis. Superb 👏👏👏👏👏

First thought: he plays guitar and bass. Ok that’s not hard. Second thought: drums too? Ok, that’s pretty solid. Third thought: wait, is he playing a Rickenbacker? That’s keeping with the spirit. Fourth thought: I wish I was a talented as this guy. Edit: Fifth thought: he’s covering La Villa? Yikes.

So, he didn't actually surpass them in terms of musicianship. Imho, there really is no comparison.

WOW.... let's see... the right word... EARGASMIC!! Spot on on all aspects... The mere fact you hit all little things that most people bypass just to get the song done, you didn't do! That shows 100% dedication and respect to how Rush has written these songs! THANK you for sharing your talent with us Antoine.

Made me smile. Which is what it should be all about. Great clip.

I had the pleasure of meeting Antoine in California wile he was touring with The Musical Box. He could not have been a nicer guy.

What are the dislikes for? That was pure perfection if prog rock is your thing and if it's not,well just admire the quality of the musicianship. He is absolute class.

Antoine, absolutely amazing. I cannot imagine the time effort and commitment that it took to make such a tribute to R U S H. Thank you so much with sharing your talent with the world. You have assumed control, and drank the milk of paradise.

I’d come out of retirement, get my chops back and start a group with this guy doing original music

So Rush! Congratulations!

Incredible! Insanely well done! I greatly appreciate this and your talent and hard work! I'm a music teacher and rush fan but not nearly as big as my dad (My middle name is Neill)! Sadly, he just passed away from a stroke on May 25th 2022 at 58 years old. Been researching music for his memorial and came across this. So glad I found it and thankful for your medley. It truly has made my day. I will have to play this for family in honor of him and his great love of the best band ever, RUSH. God bless you and your family.

Outstanding and inspirational. As a lifelong Rush fan and guitarist I can really appreciate and enjoy this video. Even better, my 14 yr-old drummer son and his band have picked up on Rush's greatness and are spending hours learning and performing their stuff. He's also doing the synth and picking up the bass as well, so I can't wait to show them this video! Thanks so much and keep it coming!

That's just pure awesomeness Antoine!. I am watching this as I just heard of Neal Peart's passing! Thank you, sir, for all the amazing music! RIP Neal!

I've watched this four or five times now. I am not a musician myself, but I know enough about techniques, structure, rhythm and timing that I can tell when someone is doing a cover and they get it somewhat right. Or when they get it mostly right. OR, when they out-and-out NAIL IT. I love how you took the opportunity to do a little personal ad-libbing on the guitar solo in La Villa, just to shake it up a bit, and put a little bit of yourself into that mournful phrasing. But, the ABSOLUTE FIDELITY on all other points, and doing so in a seamless medley of songs from the breadth of the Rush catalogue....while playing ALL FOUR INSTRUMENTS yourself...?!! Bravo, sir. Again, along with the rest of the planet, I am in complete awe at what you have done here.

FLUFF YEAH!!! That was so fluffin awesome! This musician was on cue and right fluffing on it! Fluff yeah! 👍

Holy shit dude- you nailed it! That was incredibly impressive, given just how precisely you played each part, and how very complex and difficult they are to play. And on 4 different instruments!! 👏 I will be sharing this with other Rush enthusiasts 👍
