Rush - yyz

[jennguitarlife2012]

this song is so easy to play on guitar

[Yallniggasbetrollin]

The only song in GH2 where it's fun to play Bass.

[u01rfc8]

This is obviously fake.

[hangingbythemoment]

@u01rfc8 lol gtfo.

[kevinon22s]

I just drove the new Zed R1 corvette in the U.S. just wanted to say zed with all this zzz talk, great band!

[PedroLamu]

-.-- -.-- --..

[zainwolf]

Yeah a real Rush fan is someone who LOVES their music, I think I nearly wore the tape thin on Moving Pictures from playing it non-stop for days at a time.

[zainwolf]

We say "zed" in Australia too. lol

[bozzdude]

I kinda want to like this song, but after listening to Primus, I don't really see what's so special about the bass-line of YYZ. I play bass and playing this isn't as hard as it sounds. Not trollin, jussayin...

[urmother1233]

@bozzdude you dont have to like a song because it has a hard bassline, you like a song because its awesome.

[thaleslinke]

@bozzdude I see no connection whatsoever between something being good and something being hard to play. Especially when it comes to basslines. Some of the sweetest, grooviest bass lines ever are really silly to play.

[youfreakinghippie]

@bozzdude For one, there are all of technical fills that he does (especially at 0:40 and around the 2:00 mark). The basic bass line is moderately difficult, but to get all of the little fills that Geddy does just right is challenging.

And then when you factor in that without Rush, there would be no Primus, that adds another level. Les Claypool lists Rush and Geddy Lee specifically as some of his biggest influences.

[sterlingflowers]

@bozzdude Some people just need to shut the fuck up

[MyC0ks]

Nickelback would never be able to sing this

[TheProudWhite]

The NATO phonetic alphabet is the most widely used spelling alphabet...so...Why would in not be pronounced Y-Y-ZULU? I have been all over the world and never heard anyone say Zed. But then again I never asked people to recite the alphabet for me. In the Djibouti it is common to hear people pronounce "Y" as "Chye". So actually the song is CHYE-CHYE-ZULU.

[SquashedMan]

@TheProudWhite youve been all over the world? Or all over the US? "In most dialects of English, the letter's name is zed /ˈzɛd/, reflecting its derivation from the Greek zeta, but in American English, its name is zee /ˈziː/, deriving from a late 17th century English dialectal form"

[Rockstarba]

peace of cake !

[PatronSaint210]

I like the part where they played the instruments

[random9thgradestuff]

Guys in almost every English speaking nation besides the USA the letter Z is pronounced "Zed," not "Zee." Rush is Canadian, and I'm sure those guys intended it to be pronounced the prior.

[starwarslegokid0205]

2nd best rush song next to tom sawyer.

[Jazzy9964]

Z=Zed? Ok.. tha't fine in Canada!! but Z is ZEE here in the States... SO NOW YOU KNOW!!!

[MrEaglesfan20]

@Jazzy9964 but rush is Canadian so it's zed not zee. HA SO NOW YOU KNOW!!!!!!!

[HarvesterOfBuckets]

I prefer Rush than The Beatles.

[Telamon8]

@HarvesterOfBuckets

••-• ••- -•-• -•-  -•-- --- ••-

[HarvesterOfBuckets]

@Telamon8 ????

[Telamon8]

@HarvesterOfBuckets

International Morse code.

[HarvesterOfBuckets]

@Telamon8 Uh, okey. Thnks for information!

[Numonkei]

That dude in the cover art...second from the left...is that Steve Earle?

[Numonkei]

Trying to learn this song on Guitar Hero was so much harder than learning it on the six-string...the bass was a horrible bitch to learn. Still can't nail the bridges.

[TheProudWhite]

Pronounced Y-Y-Z . Been a Rush fan for over 30 years and NEVER heard it called Y-Y-Zed.  And besides, Zed's Dead.

[hukstar16]

@TheProudWhite They call Z Zed in Canada. Now ya know.

[FeelingFreshSon]

@TheProudWhite

lmao nice

[dkereelis]

Personally, I generally can't stand Rush's music...however, nobody can deny how amazing this particular song is

[Milewskige]

morse code for yyz

_ • _ _ _ • _ _ _ _••

or

dah-di-dah-dah, dah-di-dah-dah, dah-dah-di-dit

[beaelzebub]

I love the bass, it's so awesome! I'm learning it now to play at school :)

[EnviousTaco]

the beginning is morse code for yyz

yyz is the code for toronto's airport

[0roginigor0]

@EnviousTaco And knowing is half the battle.

GI Jooooooooooooe!

(sorry about that, couldn't resist, awsome song btw)

[52pl41ok]

@EnviousTaco That's cool. Did not know that!

[duduspp]

@EnviousTaco cyyz-yyz :)

[McBigMac19]

The beginning is trippy when waring earphones.

[sebassantamariap]

Donde consigo la letra de esta canción?

[lizardtanker]

Playing the air drums to this song sure does give me a workout

[DrumCoversFromHell]

Neil peart was in the middle of writing lyrics for this song when before he heard geddy lee's bass line, then he jizzed everywhere and had to be taken to hospital. They went on without him in the recording after neil had done his part

[LLB9977]

Must go to Toronto, gonna frame my YYZ luggage tag.

[Love4SK]

Pronounced Y-Y-ZED to real Rush fans

[Blacksight1]

@Love4SK Enunciation doesn't make someone a 'real' rush fan. A Rush fan, is a Rush fan.

[MrAAO21]

@Love4SK correct.

[JeffWithAnF]

DAT SOLO

Either way, You Lose. I Win. The End.

Goodbye. XD

[HMDopeman]

before john the fisher man

[InlayUK]

@HMDopeman Primus Sucks XD

[putneylane]

sounds as if old man Atishraja is just hacked-off that he will never be any kind of a talent...pity....

[MrAtishraja]

@putneylane lolumadbro? umad? xD

[DominoGray]

@MrAtishraja

What a clever and thoughtful response

[MrAtishraja]

@DominoGray umadbro? xD

[DomFukHipHop]

stop trolling idiots

[BeowulfVids]

@brandon9966, YYZ is morese code...It is sounded on the plane before it lands in morse code.

[CrabJock]

I've heard a lot of people that don't like Rush say "progressive rock". Now how the hell is that an argument? Rush is Rush. They were THE band that turned me around in what I considered music. They kind of opened doors in my mind, an gave me versatile taste. Now, I listen to anything from Johnny Cash to Bjork. I wouldn't want it any other way.

[SleepyFroggy]

I love that solo...

[AC31338]

Only Rush can write a song with no words and still make you jizz.

[ratstaroots]

@AC31338

no not true, ever heard of 10 ft ganja plant?



[AC31338]

@ratstaroots I've never even heard of a ganja plant.

[ratstaroots]

@AC31338

its an instrumental band

[AC31338]

@ratstaroots I'll check it out.

[MrAtishraja]

Rush makes the most uncharismatic blandtastic music. A friend recommended this song. Holy shit, I agree with the Hall of Fame on this (and I don't usually agree with their choices)

[BPhoenixProductions]

@MrAtishraja

"They simply haven't gotten enough votes to make the ballot. I can't tell you why. Based on impact, influence, innovation, and excellence, they're worthy. I think it's just a matter of time before it happens."

-Terry Stewart, President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, from an interview with NPR on why Rush hasn't made the Hall yet.

[MrAtishraja]

@BPhoenixProductions awww you googled that quote isn't that cute? rush fanboys to the rescue!

[BPhoenixProductions]

@MrAtishraja

I googled it because I was curious as to what the Hall of Fame's "choice" (as you put it) was. Obviously their opinion was quite contradictory to yours, which I found amusing enough to respond with.

Also, fast response with that one. You usually get mad that quickly?

[MrAtishraja]

@BPhoenixProductions awww you carry that quote around to show people why rush will be in the hall of fame, "just you wait and see mister", boohoo lol rush fanboys are the funniest xD

[BPhoenixProductions]

@MrAtishraja

"rush fanboys are the funniest"

you haven't been around the internet much, have you?

[MrAtishraja]

@BPhoenixProductions you're finally agreeing with me lol

[BPhoenixProductions]

@MrAtishraja

who said i was agreeing with you?

who said i'm a rush fanboy, for that matter?

[MrAtishraja]

@BPhoenixProductions hey hey so defensive xD

[BPhoenixProductions]

@MrAtishraja hey, they're legitimate questions

[MrAtishraja]

@BPhoenixProductions are they? dude stop being such a fanboy you might as well be their manager xD lol

[BPhoenixProductions]

@MrAtishraja what's with your overuse of xD? and what makes me a fanboy? i'd like a decent response instead of nonsense and attempted insults this time, by the way.

[MrAtishraja]

@BPhoenixProductions lolumadbro? xD

[BPhoenixProductions]

@MrAtishraja xDlolgenericresponselolxD

[MrAtishraja]

@BPhoenixProductions umadbro?

[THEPOCONOJOECHANNEL]

Here it is in morse code just for You jdvinusfortunas

[someguy33119]

-.-- -.-- --..

[Gary2112]

Did you know that the last four notes played at the end sounds like "End of the song!"

[JustMe111094]

@Gary2112 yes, you're right if you listen closer they actually do : )

[dijubito]

Lyrics for this song:

-

Thanks for reading.



[bongloadz4satan]

Oh my dear lord the bass. 

[mackeymax1]

Does anyone know for sure why this song is called YYZ? I was reading through a manual and every country and city's airport has a code. Toronto's is YYZ, so I assumed since these dudes rock from there, they dedicated this bad ass song to their city. Any know for sure though? cuz no body ever told me, I just figured that out on my own. Quite by accident.,

[mrfatski]

@mackeymax1 the dings at the beginning and the beat are morse code for yyz, yyz is a flight code used by british airlines. thats all i know.

[mackeymax1]

@mrfatski ... WELL, I guess its right, since england pretty much own Canada.

[mrfatski]

@mackeymax1 maybe it's canadian... idk, i know it's a flight code

[brandon9966]

@mackeymax1 ?? 

[mackeymax1]

@brandon9966 .....Yes, Brandon9966??

[brandon9966]

@mackeymax1 can't remember but these guys rock + its not morse code its the code for toronto airport

[lunkheroofnuts]

@brandon9966 The beat is morse code for yyz which is the code for Toronto.

[brandon9966]

@mackeymax1 i can't remember ?? lol. 

[Love4SK]

@mackeymax1 the same way mexico owns usa? yo queer-o taco bell?

[Madad134]

@mackeymax1 you are indeed correct.

[Whitmojsherpa]

@mackeymax1 you are correct

[Rickman1212]

its like metal in the begining and end and like funk in the middle!

[TechnoColoredBirds]

love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[mynameisdotas]

-.-- -.-- --..

[deadchefbill]

@mynameisdotas Y...Y...Z!!!

[ThomasDemko]

Play /watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&­v=sBniPUTJQUQ for some badass lyrics to this song.

[diegomanx321]

i used to perform this in a coolosium ifront of thousands of people...but i took an arrow to the knee

[yugang08]

@diegomanx321 enough with the arrow to the knee jokes already. that shit has gotten old fast!

[666bloodyxhell666]

just the intro

[666bloodyxhell666]

anybody hear opeth in this song?



[jdagn]

dat bassist really know how to PLAY BASS

[deadchefbill]

@jdagn Geddy Lee is the best bassist EVER... your damn right he knows how to play bass!

[BeowulfVids]

@deadchefbill, the croaltes do that in mine too.

[TheBuffetChampion]

this song is the code for the Toronto airport where the band members of Rush grew up, and "YYZ" in morse code is the pattern at the beginning of the song

[crasmas]

YYZ is the Toronto Pearson International Airport

[jdivinusfortunas]

like if you know that the beat for this song is yyz in morse code

[cokebox64]

@jdivinusfortunas like this if u think people should stop asking people to like their comments

[cosimogallo95]

@jdivinusfortunas And if you know that YYZ is the aeroportual code for Toronto.

[mrgettostomp]

@jdivinusfortunas my friend and I tap morse code in school and he started laughing so hard when i tapped YYZ.

[NicholasTetreault]

2:50 - 3:23 is my fav.

[TheFernandooC]

@NicholasTetreault bitch please! my fav is 0:00 - 4:30

[TayeXox]

Lol, Im a chick, Im only a teen, And I still rep bands like these. 80's rock and heavy metal. And I find it sad what teens these days think is 'music'.

[AbeVegaJr]

@TayeXox any pedos get you yet?

[TayeXox]

@AbeVegaJr Aha; Actually no.

[AbeVegaJr]

@TayeXox *applauds you* Stay safe

[TayeXox]

@AbeVegaJr *bows* Will do.

[ThespeedyHD]

its my second fave. song.ever. guitar hero.go figure.

[KingOfKatamari]

My body was not ready. I am typing this with my frontal lobe as I seem to have lost my cranium. As well as the rest of me.

[ctdgao]

I just sprained 2 fingers trying to play this on the air guitar

[Shchphinkter11]

i knew a guy who fucked up the lyrics of this once

[InfinityGalskap]

Pink Floyd + Yes + Rush + King Crimson = Explosión Cósmica

[jiminycricket69]

first off.... who the fuk are you to say wats the most important aspect of a song? it goes without saying that a good song is a mix of instrumental and lyrical strength and fluidity. pert is a fuckin beast on the drums and as a drummer it means even more to me to hear him own that set of 9000 heads and crashs. so dont try and teach me about what makes a good band or the intricacies of s great song, as i am already on a rush song page

[CHILDRENOFBOBODOM]

CANADA!

[CHILDRENOFBOBODOM]

i used to play bass like this but than i took an arrow to the knee

[fetchy15]

They should play this song when you arrive at Toronto Pearson Intl. Airport

[CHILDRENOFBOBODOM]

YYZ is the toronto airport code

[thealexalberti]

I totally use this to remember what a tritone sounds like...

[egomaster12]

Thumbs up if you had an epiphany from guitar hero and started checking old songs you used to play and love

[Pr0fess0rSasquatch]

@egomaster12 No. Just....no *thumbs down*

[mynameisdotas]

I was at a music store, and I bought a book of all rush bass tabs. This is in it. I know what I'm learning this year

[Shaaan22]

Epic in guitarhero2 :3

[TheOriginalEmoSkater]

the beginning of the song is them playing the letters YYZ in morse code... and then the guitar does it and the whole song is variations of those 3 letters in morse code... what a trip... truly a talented band
