Geddy Lee Gets Pissed Off At Crowd.

[Schwarzmann75]

It's gonna be a big BUMMER!!!

[bedofrazorsqwerty]

Space weed.

[Cash2112]

They don't understand English, this is in Tucson 1978.

[pinksydfloyd21rush12]

pissed? lol.

[steviemason7770]

Geddy Lee is so chill.

[marilei123]

If I was at that show I would help Geddy move back 40 people with a single arm

[rappy90]

Not really being pissed, just making everyone aware of the situation.

[kenseyolman]

@rappy90 THAT'S THE JOKE.

[andyk13089]

@rappy90 Are you kidding, he was aboot to rip some fucking heads off. That is some full blown Canadian rage there.

[Mozart1220]

How many times is this same cut going to be posted?

[AceKing47]

A Canadian being pissed is like an American donating organs to charity.

[1612HavenhurstDrive]

This is Geddy Lee utterly ripshit.

[JokerFarts]

Lol the stage collapsing would make my day!

[JazzForYall]

He didn't get pissed off. He was just warning the audience of what could happen, in a calm and laid back way. Grow up!

[drummer059]

this is the most pissed off any canadian can ever get

[fanofeverything]

Wow, the man's a freakin' volcano here!

[TonySkyRush]

You should of labeled it "Geddy trys to save concert goers there lives by warning them the stage might collapse" (very nicely I might add)

[HellFury420]

Damn, talk about class. Geddy kept cool despite the pushy crowd.

[jeffreynetto]

I don't think he sounds pissed at all. He's trying to be polite and cool about it, yet stress the importance and the idiots won't listen. Geddy is the man.

[fbs120]

People are stupid. I'd get pissed too. People have to respect for anyone else and only care about what they want. MrMatto91 - u r absolutely right! If that is getting pissed off - then I'm a psychopath! lol

[lighhtningking]

imagine him and john lennon jaming, itd be like a band of lennon! lol

[Himeka2015]

@MrTJthedrummer This concert was in Russia as i recall. Geddy was not pissed. He was concerned about the crowd was all! Besides if the stage collapsed what would happen to Neil's $30,000 drumset?!

[RetrusChronum]

@Himeka2015 This concert was NOT in Russia *sigh*

It was in Tuscon, Arizona, during the Hemispheres tour. I have the entire soundboard.

[Siyates747]

CANADIAN POWAR!



[StratmanHSS]

Pictured: Geddy Lee about to turn super saiyan from canadian-rage.

[getalife67]

He's concerned about everyone's safety, he's not being mean! get a grip morons want to see mean talk to me pussy's. 

[buzzsaw177]

@getalife67 exactly... Geddy is probably the nicest person on this planet

[LouisPaquette]

What was he to do? Say nothing and allow the stage to collapse? This isn't being "pissed" this is doing the right thing before a bunch of people get hurt (let alone the concert would end).

[marxsbros1]

Yes he sounds real pissed.

[KokotTheMonkey]

Is he addicted to helium?

[DeftCrowMk3]

@KokotTheMonkey Listen to the 70's Geddy Lee and tell if he is addicted to helium.

[rdgurule]

I recall this. i was in the front row. no one understood english that day. Geddy was pissed at everyone!!!

[MrTJthedrummer]

@rdgurule how crazy was it there? ill bet it was CRAZY. to get geddy pissed off, hes a pretty calm guy. Where was it at. Detroit?

[TheJameslehr]

Reminds me of a pivotal scene in Gimme Shelter where Mick Jagger warns the crowd to move back- with some persuasion coming from Hell's Angels with bats and pool cues. GL was speaking a sense of urgency ; he didn't want any calamities happening. Plus nobody was murdered or hurt, so there!

[timrs2001]

Nothing angry there. He's being sensible.

[rainydayrecess]

So angry!! hahahahaha

[MrSnuffaluffacus]

That Must Be One Strong Stage To Hold In So Much Stress...

Rush Rocks!

[joshtheobjectivist]

If that is pissed then I must be in a constant state of anger.

[ManeatingLemur]

He sounds like a very reasonable guy trying to make sure nobody gets hurt.

[RUSHfreak56]

fake

[wsg2112]

MUVE BACH ,EH?

[CounterClockWiseProd]

Caplanskys

[ancilodon]

Just seconding the sentiments of justentime77...

[gonnagroove]

"It's gonna be a big BUMMAR"

[justentime77]

Even when he's pissed Geddy's cool!

[USSLexington1709]

OOOwee! He sounds angry! I wouldn't want to cross his path! Sounds more like he's trying to head off a potential disaster than being angry. You want to hear a rock star getting angry at a crowd? The Who-Pete Townshend-first track of the CD "30 Years of Maximum R&B."

[RawGnar]

Haha, this is Canada - The Man, furious =) fucking love Canada..

[lifeson46]

i wish i was Canadian....just cos I love this band so much

[420captain]

"You have got to move back or people are going to DIE!!!!!"

[420captain]

I would be pissed too, "You have got to MOVE BACK! or the show is going to be over" Thank you.

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

So many people at rock concerts act like fucking idiots and do stupid shit like push toward the front of the stage.They did the same thing when I was a teen. (the 70's) Fucking morons!

[bearsrule183]

do you understand english? haha

[furmmic]

u understand english? move the fuck back!

[MrMatto91]

at least he's not a dick like Axl Rose.

[fallofthefleshgod]

@MrMatto91 Totally. If Geddy were Axl Rose that show would have been so over.

[Qphlat]

@MrMatto91 At least hes not Axl Rose... thank god.

[gardnerklein]

Im pissed eh, such a gentleman

[rapperfromtheD]

lol

[ThePinkguns]

he ain't pissed off. he asked them very gently to move back

[3353ian]

Do you understand English lmao

[claynstuffalt]

I'm canadian and I can get pretty damn angry grr! D:<

[emachicao]

Does anybody know inn which tour this happened?

[superslayerguy]

@emachicao hemisphers

[wen790]

that is the job of his crew to make sure the stage is safe

not to tell his fans

geddy should of stopped the show and called oput the venue staff and corrected the problem

[snuffleguff]

I love the photo. Doesn't fit the soundbyte at all. Love that his "anger" is taken out on his bass...

[briguy1971]

That is pissed??!? Really? Not.

[IceyFlame500]

i dont get it, canadians are so calm and nice but when the play hockey the get pissed

[MrEODTEK]

@IceyFlame500 You don't get it? Hockey is LIFE man!!!! Every goal must be made in anyway shape and form possible! And if you hit me wrong or get in my way...I'm gonna beat the living SHIT outta you....LOL! It's ALLLLLLLL about the Cup! And a little dropping-people-down-a-peg action, my friend...Hockey...FUCKIN' EHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[IceyFlame500]

@MrEODTEK Trust me, I get it, i been playing hockey all my life, I played in Detroit and when I moved to Arizona played down here, i've went cross country even cross continent when i played a couple games against a Toronto team, GO RED WINGS

[fictioussentiment]

Do you understand English? lmao

[TheHabsfan1993]

He's concerned about the safety and well-being of his fans. He doesn't sound pissed at all.

[iAMmissMegan]

Oh my gosh, i didn't know that Ged had that rage in him!!! I was shaking in my 70s Kimono!!!

haha LOL he is epic awesomeness!

[Flores97Drummin]

IT'S GONNA BE A BIG BUMMER!!!

[zenguitarankh]

OBEY GEDDY

[static1994]

@zenguitarankh ALL HAIL CHIEF MASTER OF BASS GUITAR AND HIGH PITCH VOCALS. lol :D

[zenguitarankh]

@static1994 HAIL!!!!!!

[static1994]

@zenguitarankh we shall all obey the awesome holy trinity of rush... BOW TO THE SENSEI!!!!! lol :)

[hyroglyphx]

Pissed? Sounded more like logical concern

[CCRockit]

@hyroglyphx

Well.... as pissed off as a jewish/canadian can get,

[RevVike]

@hyroglyphx Ya, totally agree. These guys have to be the most mature rock band around.

[BobtheBlob7284]

FACT: Rush fans will kill Rush.

[ThatsrightiplayWoW]

@BobtheBlob7284 Nah Neil will beat them all down with his drum sticks.

[jcfbell3001]

when is geddy or neil or alex (to a lesser degree), not pissed at their fans lol...

[joanim]

Not pissed, more like, "I don't want to die, can you move back?"

[tesfan4evr]

Relax, you guys. "webcityguy" is just trying to piss us off. It's called a troll, and it's a rather common creature here in the Youtube environment.

[tesfan4evr]

Yeah, it sure would be a "big bummer" if the stage collapsed killed 23 people (including the band).

[webcityguy]

@tesfan4evr - - Given it's these old farts, killing the band wouldn't be all that bad.

[senecavalley2010]

@webcityguy ....... I hope you're joking.

[daledaddy1]

@webcityguy DICK

[Chavezoid]

Haha...ok ....the damn stage collapsing on the crowd and killing the band...a bummer

[Kahunabro1997]

that is not pissed off, thats more of asking them in a politish way

[PhantomMenaced]

You tell 'em Geddy!

[Blaze1289]

This is Canadian for "pissed off". Canadians don't get more pissed off than "please move back".

[Kahunabro1997]

@Blaze1289 thats true

[Love4SK]

@Blaze1289 , fuck off ya smelly amerkistan redneck, hows that for a pissed off Canadian?

[Blaze1289]

@Love4SK Okay.

[Kynatics]

I'm surprised they didn't start stampeding towards the doors to save themselves from his wrath.

Naw, he's really pleasant. And we all know rock concert audience are sheep for at least the duration of the concert.

[UnfittingMusic1001]

Geddy is awesome! Why? He's Canadian.

[astra4nn]

He sounds more worried than upset. Worried about the audience being crushed, to be honest, he sounds very calm.

[theclassicrockkid95]

@astra4nn No kidding...

If this is Geddy all po'ed, then I can't imagine him being furious...he'd probably be speaking softly, sitting down, sipping a cup of tea.

[barisaxkid]

@astra4nn This is known as Canadian anger.

[crazyperson3245]

haha and when geddy is pissed hes not even pissed compared to a lot of people

[thetreesify]

this is geddy pissed off, wow he must be a really calm person :P

[4578a]

Rightfully so. I'd be pissed too if someone killed Geddy lee.

[Jcaldrone12]

Why is Geddy just so awesome? Know whadday mean?

[Broons2112Bane]

He is probably thinking i like being alive and i am sure you do too

[tpcoolufal]

do u under stand english

[static1994]

i need to ask... what was the stage made of, balsa wood? although, on a saftey note, thats not cool. hey, if the stage had collapsed and the band had died, is the crowd charged with murder, destruction of property, and littering? lol

[metalnut92]

@static1994 Actually on Flight 666 it shows you some dates Maiden played in India where the stage was actually made of wood so you never know ;)

[static1994]

@metalnut92 i didnt know... hmm, go figure. :)

still, the stage should be maintenanced or at least checked before use. it seems like standing on a 2x4 and saying " ok, no earthquakes while i balance over the grand canyon." lol

[aarontmcc1345]

lol the little noise in the back round that sounds like a synthesizer makes this kinda funny

[sk1972]

Paul scheaffer from david letterman?

[ryandevison]

he is the angriest canadian ever

[MrAceofspades7777777]

@ryandevison you obviously dont know too many canadians b/c this is chill, pissed is like axe murder with a guitar

[ryandevison]

@MrAceofspades7777777 i was just uckin around too. and i am canadian and i do understand your comment, but i was just fuckin around.

Nova scotia = best province ever

[DjDoxastic]

@ryandevison bc is the best foo, we have temperate rain forest!

[ryandevison]

@DjDoxastic damnit. you guys have that AND first nations that still live like they used to hundreads of years ago. and you guys have a bunch of stoners like nova scotia does as well!

[mdeans79]

@ryandevison

I am Canadian, and i have had a huge fit of rage and i have witnessed other Canadians have a huge fit of rage.

[ryandevison]

@mdeans79 yah im canadian too and ive seen others pissed off, i was just joking around

[Hardrockrules1122]

@ryandevison lol without the hockey equipment we are like this :P

[Poseidon500]

I would have said..."move the fuck back..or we're not playing Tom Sawyer, or Natural Science."

It would have worked.

[BetterTasteThanU]

lol, lee crapped his pants just because the morons paid to see his act.

what a fool

[hate420breed]

I wana be an air horn for christmas nazi germany 2010

[CESONER]

if thsat;s pissed then I'm a monster cuz that was just common sense ina calm tone

youre an idiot

[ATY9Productions]

Let me translate this to Canadian:

Hey, eh, the stage is tilting, eh. please move back, eh. It would be a big bummer, eh.

RUSH IS STILL AWESOME

[fredmomma]

See how hardcore Canadians are?

[russianprez]

31 people don't understand english



[Total1337]

This is actually about the extent of a Canadian's anger.

[Deathz0r94]

@Total1337 I know eh?

[thatOtherDude100]

@Total1337 the Canadian to english translation would be: "GET THE FUCK BACK YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES! SHIT! YOU TRYING TO FUCKING KILL ME, BITCH!" *starts bashing nearest audience member in the head with bass*

[StickHits]

@Total1337 Not mine lol

[Audioslave3]

The earth shook from its foundations!!! Listen to that roar!!! Big buuuuuuuuuummeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­rrrrrr!!! Seriously, I don't think Geddy can get mad that easily. He seems so kind.

[Deathz0r94]

@Audioslave3 He is, definitely one of the few bassists I would want to meet.

[LiquidFail]

I think I'd cry if Geddy told me off :(

[muggy2112]

well, I think Geddy was pretty calm considering a 15-20 foot drop to the ground and about a ton of equipment behind him....it would have been more than a bummer....

[anguscasey]

Get some

[OPTIMISPOOH]

Watch Nilkki Sixx or Paul Stanley re : a laser in their eyes.. if you want to see"Pissed off" Geddy is being about as cool as he can regarding a VERY dangerous situation. Paul Stanley said he was going to shove a laser up some guys a**!! Nikki and Paul both ripped their laser offenders to shreds! Geddy is being extraordinarily mannerly here all things considered, Pissed off?!? PLEASE!!

[MrMonkeyCommander]

Woah! Ive never seen such anger and hatred in one man! Lol

[jeevesthepunk]

jesus geddy, calm down...

[Bromoe99]

Pissed or Concerned? Poor Title to Vid

[danilaks]

NO DOUBT RUSH LOVES BRASIL. IT NEVER HAPPENED HERE. LIVE LONG AND PROSPERITY FOR RUSH!!!

[thebatman101069]

He should have said, "TAKE OFF YOU HOSERS!"

[stang455]

He was just telling it like it was and didn't want fans to get hurt

[fistacorpse]

Live in Arizona '78 bootleg, right after A Passage to Bangkok. When you go to metal shows today dont be surprised when you see security pulling out kids who are getting crushed. Neils drum solo at the end of this show is soo fucking rad.

[voskat]

He's not pissed off at all.

[BrettDixonMusic]

Canadian Anger: "It's gonna be a big bummah".

[Skeletonhands12]

@BrettDixonMusic He's not pissed though...

[BrettDixonMusic]

@Skeletonhands12 That's a pissed off Canadian. That's about as pissed as Canadian's get. "It's gonna be a big bummah." They don't get any more angry than that, because they are silly Canadians.

[Skeletonhands12]

@BrettDixonMusic Funny because he wasn't pissed...You're just fucking stupid.

[Skeletonhands12]

@BrettDixonMusic Plus if that's how apparently Angry Canadians get beats getting so angry like you Americans do which leads to Wars in the Middle East and the amount of people being shot every year in your country....

[BrettDixonMusic]

@Skeletonhands12 No, hold on. About that war: My government staged 9/11 as an excuse to go to war. I have been against that war since day 1.

[Skeletonhands12]

@BrettDixonMusic Don't care funny how you go around saying that's how angry Canadians get when he wasn't getting angry if he was angry he wouldn't of said it like If you guys carry on you'll knock down the stage and accidentally kill me,Maybe you should learn this shit instead of being an intolerant asshole,Thought it seems many of you Americans are like that,Pretty Much sums up why the majority of the world hates you.

[BrettDixonMusic]

@Skeletonhands12 I don't think you understand the joke. I made a joke regarding Canadian anger. The joke is that Geddy represents the extent of "Canadian anger." I know it's not true, but it's reminiscent of other Canadian jokes, like the fact they say "eh" and "aboot", and how they love hockey and how there is only one road in Canada, and how they have long mouths with beady little eyes. It's all a joke, but you still don't seem to understand that.

I was JOKING. Get a sense of humor.

[Skeletonhands12]

@BrettDixonMusic Well Sorry but considering the fact so many Americans constantly do that...it's quite natural for us Canadians now to insult YOUR People and also make how you say ''jokes''.We'll say shit like Americans are all fatasses,They just eat Mcdonalds constantly,Extremely Violent people,No health care what so ever, and I'm as guilty as anyone about making jokes about other peoples races but you do understand throughout the internet a little bit more hard to tell.

[BrettDixonMusic]

@Skeletonhands12 Yeah I understand, but I agree with you about Americans as well. Violent fat-asses without healthcare and only eat fast food. Sounds like the typical American.

I'm planning on moving out of this country when I finish college. I'm sick of the totalitarian rule of the Bush's. Clinton's, and now Obama.

Our government wants a new world order. The founding fathers are rolling in their graves.

[Skeletonhands12]

@BrettDixonMusic Well i got 3 things to say to that

1.I never thought i would live to see the day when an American would state that about his country,You sir or Madam have proven to do it before i die.

2.I totally agree with you about moving,America does have good stuff but besides from that it's a shitty place to live at the moment so i do agree for you to move.

3.I'm a Canadian and i know that Your government is screwed up,Obama seems to be the lazy president and the liar.

[tophattomatch]

@Skeletonhands12

Yeah, dude, I'm American as well, and I have to say that those stereotypes do apply to a lot of people here. I mean, not all of us, but many.

And right now, even under Obama, it's still not a great place to be if you're a liberal.

Thankfully, my region at least has good concert venues (I've gotten to see Rush twice in the past few years!) and good beer. Those are redeeming factors, right?

[Skeletonhands12]

@tophattomatch Well here in Canada i got great concert venues as well i just seen Slayer and Rob Zombie live back on July 31st to a sold out crowd of twelve thousand, but a lot of Americans portray that stereotype, plus with the American i was just talking to he was joking and agreed with me that Americans do have much problems.

[tophattomatch]

@Skeletonhands12 Ah, no, I didn't take offense; I was agreeing with you.

[Skeletonhands12]

@tophattomatch Well then good.

[gmc5626]

Of course they don't understand you Geddy!

You didn't add "eh" to the end of your sentences.

[xIronWarlordx]

Damn, he's furious :P

[The1994Gforce]

Come on! You can't hate him for caring about the safety of everybody.

[jinkerGM]

hehehe, that is a pissed off Canadian, I'm kinda shocked he went off the deep end :P

[jinkerGM]

hehehe, that's is a pissed off Canadian

[machoguy94]

He's not even mad! I'd be concerned too if I had thousands of people about to push the stage down and most likely try and tackle me down for hugs and autographs
