RusH is composed of 3 compulsive perfectionist, and genuine good people that do not have any the ego trips that have lead to the demise of many successful bands. Truly GREAT musicians that are also truly great friends.... Resulting in some of the cleanest, tightest most amazing music ever made.

Man....Neil Peart....the drummer is just...i mean he just so good!

It's okay that you didn't pay attention to the lyrics on first listen. You'll get your chance, because you get to spend the rest of your lives listening to this over and over and over again.

One of the best drummers, yes, but also one of the greatest guitarist and one of the best bass guitarist, too. And one of the best lyricist, three of the best songwriters, song arrangers, creators, and performers in the history of rock. All three were not only amazing instrument players but genius musicians, too.

One of the best drummers ever....for sure ..100%

Without any doubt a Top 5 guy for me.

Spirit of Radio is arguably their most popular song. They are all three master musicians. Remember, Geddy Lee not just sings but plays a killer bass and does keyboards. Alex Lifeson is just a superb rock guitarist who is supremely underrated. Yes, George and Patrick, delve into these lyrics. They are uplifting and cycnical at the same about the love and accessibility of music to the masses but how the industry also can be so suffocating and demanding. You must check them out live - Rush in Rio etc.

A protest song. Being a homie...that video brings back memories. Q-107 (classic rock), CFNY (alternative)...”salesman” demanding something to play on the radio...so Rush gave them 2112.

Rush - La Villa Strangiato (Official Music Video) IT'S RECORDED LIVE

Rush song Natural Science live at Molson Amphitheater in Toronto Canada. Amazing. Seen them 3 times over the years as I grew up with them for the last 40 years.

Neil and Bonzo where two different beasts,both the best at what they did.

Yep guys! Time for “La villa strangiato” or “Xanadu” from RUSH then you’ll also appreciate Geddy Lee or Alex Lifeson, of course Niell Peart is my childhood HERO :)

Hold up, go easy on these guys. That might be a litle advanced at this point! :) PS YYZ Live in Rio!!

I sat 15 feet from Neil Peart in 1977 at age 14. I have seen hundreds of concerts and that is still my favorite. He was the best. They were the best.

You won’t be disappointed doing more Rush. They have a very deep catalog, and went through many style changes throughout the years, but they were always unique and progressive. I think you should do Xanadu live from 1981 Exit Stage Left tour. You will see how they all play multiple instruments to make 3 guys sound like 6. Geddy plays bass, keyboards, rhythm guitar, and synth pedals with his feet - and he’s the singer! Neil is a one-man m percussion section, playing chimes, wood blocks, tubular bells, and glockenspiel, in addition to drums. One of the most incredible live performances you will ever see from three guys. Cheers!

Xanadu from Exit Stage Left is the greatest live performance ever. The very best. Mind-blowing in it’s virtuosity.

I’ve been listening to this song for 40 years now and it just never gets old. When I saw this on your channel I immediately clicked on it. Like a kid at Christmas.

I saw Rush, way back in 1973, playing at the Colonial Tavern (yes, a tavern!) in Toronto. I'm so happy these local guys got their amazing music around the world. They deserve it!

43 years a Rush fan. "La Villa Strangiato" Best 11 minute song of Rush and Alex Lifeson jaw dropping on the guitar. A must see Pink Pop Live version. The transitions in Spirit of Radio are Sick!

So- geniuses all 3 of them. 🎼🎶🎵🎶🎸🎸🎹🎤😎❤️🔥my journey began with 2112- live. That’s before digital, analog....and its 3 guys- I sat motionless for awhile before my brain caught up to my ears.. By the next tour- on my feet the entire show. It was still 3 guys.... technology was right around the corner. These guys didn’t need it, but mastered that too, like everything else. 👍

Moving Pictures tour was my second concert EVER. The Spirit of Radio was the song that made me LOVE Rush. 🔥🔥🔥👍😎 GREAT reaction 👍👍👍

Geddy is one of the greatest bassists of all time! Alex crazy too. If you enjoyed this I really recommend Subdivisions, or YYZ by Rush. You will see the mastery of all 3 guys ;)

SUBDIVISIONS is my all time favorite song However this one is just MAGICAL 🔥🔥🙂

3 talents just killing it.....for forty plus years.

To see a great live performance by Rush.....”Best intro ever!” You will love it!

Kudos to whoever did the animation! Very creative! Rock and Roll Radio was free for everyone, and it's simplicity made you feel so good. Radio isn't the same today. The music is just filler in between commercials. Kids learned about all the new music, artists and Bands in the 50s & 60's, from dj's like the Legendary "Wolfman Jack". But A.M. radio wanted artists to stick to 2-3' songs that were commercial and radio friendly. When Rock moved into the F.M. format, it changed everything, especially for bands like Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd, who no longer had "time constraints" on how long their songs should or could be. Unlike A.M., F.M. was in STEREO, and sounded pure and clean with "no static at all...efff emmm! So you could listen all evening long with few commercials, and a dj might play ALL of DARK SIDE of the MOON, etc. Today, tech let's you select individual songs whenever you like. Back then, we were waiting for someone to play it for us...especially if you called in to the "request line". So Radio holds a special place in the hearts of us old timers! 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦

Enjoy the rabbit hole of Rush music. They will not disappoint. Been a Rush fan since high school. Listen to them every day!

That was brilliant! I don't know many Rush songs, I know Tom Sawyer which I really like. I also know that their drummer, Neil Peart, who sadly died in January 2020, was definitely one of the best - I've watched him on KZread and he was phenomenal, in fact I've watched him a few times doing a long drum solo and it was great. They are an interesting band and I really like Geddy Lee's vocals - so, I should really check them out more and I think I will! All the best guys.

It took the Foo Fighters three years practicing to play one Rush song.

One of my favorite songs of all-time. Just immaculate!!

The story behind this song is worth checking out. Some of the struggles they had with radio station and record companies. You won't believe how they responded to the pressure put on them to conform. By the way, All three were at the top of their craft. I first saw them around 1978 I'm 61 and still Loving it

Tom Sawyer, Limelight, The Garden and Red Barchetta(to name a very few) are super. Each master-musician plays lead, and it makes RUSH. Oh Canada ✌💚 Love the enthusiasm from new listeners, that joy never dissipates.

This song, back in the day, made me a fan for life. Good music speaks to all!

A Tune nobody ever reacts to, but which kicks more a*s than just about any other Rush Tune = "Anthem". Love the Band, so much for you to check out by them. But trust me, some of their deeper Tracks are among the best. But that is the same for most great Bands haha.

RUSH...THEY BRING THE ‘WOW!’

Xanadu from their 1981 concert "Exit Stage Left" is a live performance I'm sure you would enjoy. You will be impressed even more by this three piece group and the sound they could produce.

Best drummer.. Best bass.... Top 10 🎸... Best ever....

Our 3 Canadian masters. Omg u guys should have seen them live....as the song says One likes to believe in the freedom of music. You need to hear this live in Toronto for sars fest. See them at home and us fans totally awesome.

The transitions in this song is the sound effect of turning the radio dial to a different station. THAT'S why there are so many different sounds. Back in the day, we had to manually turn the dial to get to the next station. Hence, the different sounds. You should react to Red Barchetta. They actually make the sound of a car in the middle of the song and remember, there are only 3 members in this great group.

I think RUSH appreciates your sharing and reactions. Leads to more views and likes and sales. They are a working man's band...enjoy.

I love drums too. I appreciate drummers because it takes your whole body to play as opposed to guitar.

The transitions in The Spirit of Radio is supposed to represent changing the radio station.

Any Rush fans out there remember when Rush went out on tour and I believe only a few cities were lucky to here Rush live in surround sound I'm not to sure on the year, either 79 to 81 they did this and Pittsburgh Civic Arena and it sounded fantastic.

Your enthusiasm for this music re-energizes me. Thanks!

I didn't actually notice this when I watched your reaction the first time, but on watching it again I noticed on the video a ship which had pirate radio written on it and flying a Union Jack - gosh, that takes me back. We had Radio Caroline which started in 1964 - there was no one else really playing the music we wanted to hear so we all thought this was wonderful. When Radio 1 started on the BBC in 1967 a lot of the DJs from Radio Caroline transferred there. There was another pirate radio ship called Radio Scotland which started in 1965. I love that video - it's very cleverly made and yes, you're right, that does not sound like just three people in that band, and I do think now, hearing the song again that I have heard it before - it's great.

You guys know that Neil is an amazing drummer but you forget how good Geddy is as a Base player. He's amazing and he plays keyboards and sings at the same time! That's unbelievable. All 3 are super skilled at their instruments, and that's why they are so great. Its not just one great player...its all 3!! Keep smiling🤘🙂

Roll the Bones with lyrics Will blow your mind

You must listen to 2112. It's 20 minutes long, but it will seem like 5 minutes. BTW, Rush doesn't usually get blocked in the US. I'm surprised to hear they get blocked in some countries. In the US, it's Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Eagles, Jimi Hendrix, and The Beatles (as well as many others) that get blocked all the time.

Alex may be the most underrated guitarists in history. Dave Ghrol said it took his band 3 years to learn one rush song.

You must hear “Red Barchetta” ♥️

Just a great song.

La Villa Strangiato Live from Cleveland is unbelievable. You all are about to go down a Rabbit Hole with Rush you wont regret.

I've seen them twice back in the 1900s Rock on 🤘

They are all virtuosos and playing most original music, each of them have unique sound, Neil is by far the most recognized.

One of the most amazing bands ever! All three are amazing souls. BRAVO to all three of them. RIP Neal. A legend among legends.

Hold Your Fire tour live in Birmingham, UK. Best concert I've ever attended and it was recorded for the Show of Hands live album and video (that's how long is was ago)

Brings back wonderful high school memories with my late husband. 😢

Rush in RIO is the best performance ever by Rush yet rarely anyone ever reacts to it.....

My humble appreciation of Neil's lyrics in that one, or at least the main theme: it deals with the integrity and perseverance that transpires through your art, regardless of the trend and the sales of whether your songs get airplay or scheduled on f***ing Top of the Pops or not. It's all about the love of music and self-expression, for the sake of art 🤘

Yes! Killer tune!

my fav rush tune, LOVE the intro and riff

Fantastic to see how much You both enjoyed that

I saw every RUSH Tour from Hemispheres to Conterparts and never was I disappointed. I love how they've produced these new videos for some of their classic tunes.

For a great view of them live, watch the official video for "La Villa Strangiato". It is a live performance and it is one of their absolute best songs with a focus on Alex playing guitar.

My favorite band ever. Not only are these 3 guys super skilled but their songs are full of wit and soul. They have one the most honest attitudes in the music industry, they seem like humble, funny and wonderful blokes and their strong friendship is the key to their longevity. RUSH won't record anymore since Neil "the Professor" sadly passed away but their legacy, art and music are eternal ❤️🎸🥁🎹🎤🎶🎵

How many can remember cruising around with your friends and jamming out to all this music that’s being reacted to. Weren’t we LUCKY!

"Jacob's Ladder" and "Natural Science" are a couple great choices...!

Classic.... RIP Neil Peart.

Blessed to live through this era 1964 birth date, lucky to hear earlier songs motown, zepplin floyd, beatles, elvis, sinatra,andy williams, punk amazing time. listen to the music of today that is influenced by the music before.........If I could offer any advice enjoy everything........."Listen to everything find joy in what you like".........Its not an offence to enjoy genres or types embrace the tunes X Ukraine shine on you crazy diamond X

Take off to the great white north! Love Rush! Love Canada!

Thank you for recognizing that Neal wrote almost all the songs for the band and then he...

"Neil is the lead of this band" *hears Alex's solo* "Ok I was wrong" Lol I love it. All 3 of them are masterclasses. Hard to pick a favorite personally. But hey nothing wrong with your favorite being Neil.

RUSH is one hell of a cool band! Always was, always will be... No matter what "haters" of the band over the years think or say! Watch "Xanadu Exit...Stage Left 1981"! This is a great example of a 3 piece sounding like a modern electric futuristic Orchestra, save the dated synth sounds (wich I love)..

YYZ Live in Rio is a must, but for my money, La Villa Strangiato, the studio version, is their best instrumental; so hard to pick a favorite song though, their catalog is so deep......

I've only liked Rush for 45 years or so and can only speak for myself, but I feel my appreciation of Rush music has grown from (eventually) isolating the different instruments randomly, countlesly, and then seeing how, in their own way, in so many ways, they combine to produce such uniquely rich and timeless music.
