  • Katy pls sing Working Man or Armor & Sword.with RusH

  • *crowd thinking* OMG!! KATY HAS WROTEN A WELL GOOD TUNE

  • Why does the band look like they do regular gigs at a Bed and Breakfast?

  • What a waste

    music sucks today

  • Another fine example of subliminal messaging - all in favour, say RUSH !!!!!!!!!

  • yea this sounds like three deaf donkeys

  • Katy and Brand are no divorced. I have a chance at that fine, fine morsel of woman-hood.

  • LOL.. Look at the drummer. They are SO not playing Cygnus X-1, but this video is awesome anyway.

  • Cygnus 1 my ass

  • I think it is good, it is also played real fast. Rush plays this a beat slower.

  • this is fake. im sorry.

  • Rush is my favorite band. Period. I like Katy Perry as well - so it suits me to see her band do a mini tribute.

  • Excellent

  • I am studying at a music college training to be a sessionist and i can say that every band that backs for these pop artists are real highly skilled and can perform WAY beyond the level needed to play modern pop songs,, yet they get zero recognition,, sad aint it?

  • @CGLmusic

    How so? They chose to play pop music and people like what they like.

  • @leeharveyosmosis - Sessionists don't really choose who they play for, they get hired by agents and stuff.. They may or may not like the music they are playing, but the money they get is too good fo them to turn down..

  • @CGLmusic Fair enough, so why ask for recognition? kinda hypoctie....if they took the good money fine, but it isn't "sad" they aren't getting recognition.

  • ironic that such a sellout and chart/money band would play a tune by a band that will never be allowed in the R&RHOF!

    RUSH (RASH) was and is the best Rock band ever! this katy perry and gaga are where music has gone! so sad!

  • "Oh my gad, this is like tool or pool or something! It's that burn to swim song...so I think they're name is pool. Then they say, drink all your latte and drink all your weight loss. Soooo stupid"

  • They Should Play the Whole Thing ...........Repect to this Band  .

  • It's great to see and hear that RUSH is still inspiring musicians to this very day.

  • It sounds a LITTLE bit like Cygnus but the chords are all wrong.

  • I was just watching Palladia V Fest , marveling at how heinous Perry's voice is live on I Kissed a Girl and BOOM.....I couldn't believe my ears. I had to pause and repeat several times. I'm sure Perry can afford the best of the best musicians available. This is probably the only way they can maintain their sanity.

  • where is the actual audio? that doesn't sync with the video at all - bad fake.

  • Damn...this REALLY suprises me I am baffled

  • that's why they only did 25 seconds of it!! if they even attempted the whole 10 minutes and 21 seconds, their collective brains AND their bodies would be totally fried!!! lmao!!! ;)

  • WRONG KEY!!!!! TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!! LOL!!! ;)

  • Only proves that anyone can be a Rush fan :)

  • it would have been funny if they took of their faces and revealed themselves as Rush

  • i now have a little bit of respect for her

  • I'd say Hemispheres is the most proggy Rush song. Id put Cygnus as second.

  • This bitch's band ain't got nothing on Nelly Furtado, who actually covered "Time Stand Still".

  • Band: Fuck Katy! We need to get this out of our system!

    Katy: I don't remember writing this song... how do i sing to that?

    Band: Don't worry, the crowd wont complain. they don't even know this song

  • @SonicFanChannel LMAO!!!!! ;)

  • Its pretty obvious they werent playing it, someone just overdubbed clips of the band with cygnus

  • @Zamachaj It is overdubbed but it is legit. They played it at the end of "I kissed a Girl" at a concert in Germany. Someone posted a link in the comments.

  • Just a little payment of homage to the high Priests is all!

  • WTF?

  • This was the day that the crowd realised that there's this thing called guitar overdrive

  • damn i thought those guys were talentless and had no taste in music... NEVER MIND

  • Just goes to show how much of a business pop music really is. Of course you're gonna hire professionals to back Katy Perry up, and of course professionals are going to have great taste!

  • It makes me pleased to know that the band actually has better taste then their own lead singer.

  • HAHAHA @ 0:04 you can hear someone going woohoohoohoo! That's definitely a dad in the crowd.

  • Mother of fuck that sucks horny donkey balls!

  • Comment removed

  • It was the first time they'd heard actual music.

    Too bad it wasn't played by the real skilled musicians who crafted it.

  • Katy is probably wondering "what the fuck are you playing?!!"

  • The audience probably has no fucking idea what they're playing do they

  • I'm suprised the crowds collective heads didn't explode from being exposed to real music....

  • @chrispwns, Why? So Rush fans could have seen something that everyone's seen before? do you even know how to have fun.

  • @Kytherei lol have you ever heard of a joke??? lighten up

  • OMG, that's too funny!

  • This video is 100% real guys. I know most of us would rather not watch a Katy Perry concert (myself included), but you can see her band actually plays the song at around 5:10 here: /watch?v=l3ftjLqCIxM

  • wow their band played something really good for once :D

    Still isn't rush, though...

  • Forged and butt-pillaging.

  • they played one riff ?.... at least learn a few measures

  • Kate Perrys 'music' is for 12 year old girls and gay boys.

  • When all else fails, Cygnus-X1

  • 99% of people in this crowd didn´t realize what the band was playing...

  • @MainMonkeyBusiness1 LOL I was gonna say the same exact thing!

  • @MainMonkeyBusiness1 I would say 100%

  • @ViciousAlienKlown yes, probably 100%

  • @MainMonkeyBusiness1 LOL!!! ;) EXACTLY!!

  • @MainMonkeyBusiness1  Sooo True ..........

  • Ooh, I wish I still believed this was real.

    That miniscule glimmer of hope that I had for humanity has now been crushed. Brutally murdered. :(

    Oh well. \m/

  • faux and homosexual

  • Soooo fake...but so awesome nonetheless.

  • I doubt Katy even knew what song the band was playing. All credit goes to the real musicians in her band. Good stuff.

    What kevorkazito said

  • Great musicians come from the school of Rush.

  • Did not get deep enough on that bottom E.

  • i can hear the conversation now, please katy we play your kiddie music the best it can be played please give us 1 minute to show our parents and the other musos in the crowd that were not losers but real musicians: hey im feelin em, a gig with a huge act like her is hard to come by,money is always hard to come by for everybody.ever play on a cuise ship HELL! any way katy perry is the best thing in the chick pop singer world, at least her tunes have melodys and are cachy. she totally beats gaga

  • Well, this proves that Rush~Katy Perry conspiracy.

  • I have no problem with this, they used the song to make the crowd experience better. Why that song? well I guess they just like it.

  • Just Stupid

  • hahaha they should have booted katy perry off of the stage, finished the song and then said attention all fans of Katy Perry, attention all fans of Katy Perry, we have assumed control, we have assumed control.

  • @chrispwns123456789 no kidding...at first I thought this was a joke. I see now that they've been roped into Scary Perry's web but wish to break free by showing their love of all things RUSH!

  • @chrispwns123456789 LOL awesome!

  • @chrispwns123456789 -wrong song, but the intent is legit.

  • @humanity6fl9 lol i know its the wrong song, i was referencing 2112

  • @chrispwns123456789 LMAO!!!!

  • @chrispwns123456789 LMMFAO!!!!! ;) THAT IS TOO GOOD, DUDE!!!

  • @chrispwns123456789 Best youtube comment I have ever read. Cheers, you fucking rule.

  • @chrispwns123456789 i was going to say this before i actually saw fieldmarshal46's comment, but that seriously is the best comment ive ever read on YouTube

  • @chrispwns123456789 Yeah Baby  , Fu*k Perry , Not a bad idea when i think of it , But i hate her music ........

  • gotta love bubble gum garbage music icons of today.. I would pay to see some of these shit heads if it involved them being killed on stage.. If this is real just shows you the desperation of musicians finally getting to play their instruments and the assholes in the crown there to pay for there lack of good taste for acts such as kate perry.. God awful shit coming out now.. Why did the trade center have to get hit.. Wish it could have been the mtv studios.

  • This is an obvious fake - an overdub. The instrument playing (especially the drums) don't match the song, and at the end of the video, you can see Katy Perry on the video screens singing when (obviously) there is no singing going on. Glad that everyone fell for this. I guess it pays to be observant.

  • @thynob aw its fake?!!! FUCK :(

    i got all excited..but your right, it is overdubbed.... you can especially tell because of the drums :(

  • @thynob aw its fake?!!! FUCK :(

    i got all excited..but your right, it is overdubbed.... you can especially tell because of the drums :(

  • Yup, they just want to play stuff like RUSH!

  • haha that reminds me of modana breaking into a pantera song live. i love it when pop groups break sterotypes lol.

  • They should have broke out into III: "Strangiato theme" of La Villa Strangiato. Losers.

  • I feel sorry for so many musicians like those guys... who know what real music is, but are just part of the machine.

  • I guarantee you that about 90% of that crowd has no idea what that was

  • If Katy's next song is about flying with Snoop Dog in her Rocinate, we know they'res been copyright infringement!

  • yea, nobody in that crowd caught that one!!

  • shows that there true fans and not some dickheads that heard tom sawyer or something on the raido

  • Just goes to show how many musicians are influenced by Rush. You would be very surprised how many fans there are in the 'Pop' world. They just can't admit it, for fear of alienating their own fans.

  • @Iamcromagnon now thats funny LOL

  • yeah i agree that this is fake, not synched at all

  • wtf

  • whos katy parry?

  • that what all act should do at the end

  • And then Katy Perry accidentally sang the lyrics to "The Trees" over this song.

  • wtf, what is the problem?

    is not like katy perry herself did it... the BAND did it. WAY different.

    and the fact that an international pop star (I will not comment) have enough money or influence to round herself with the most skilled instrumentalists she can have is not a surprise to me. and that a skilled and experienced bass player or drummer knows and appreciates Rush is even less a surprise.

  • @Mirdjan Skilled Bass and Drummer? Wow you have really low standards when saying that with Rush in the same sentence. One her band isn't anything special. Two, her band put a twist on an other wise great song, and it was HORRIBLE to say the least. Three, I doubt 99.99% of those in the audience even had a remote clue as to what they were playing, or attempting too play. Four, She does not have the money for the band, its provided to her by her record label, just like her lyrics and music.

  • best thing this crowd will ever experience. rush is the greatest band of all time

  • This is 100% real. Youtube Katy Perry I kissed a girl hurricane festival and they play it around the end.

  • it wouldn't matter what rush song measure they played, out of 50,000 fans any song would fly over they're heads like birds. the only thing that would hit they're head is the shit.

    this has nothing to do with the musicianship. they're just doing they're JOB.

  • They just wizzed on the altar of the divine trilogy.

  • obviously fake

  • Where is this audio actually from? This is oviously dubbed in over the vid.

  • in the description-played by a rock star- no, it wasn't. Katy Perry didn't play anything here. Real musicians did...

  • Good to know even todays pop musicians *bands* listen to RUSH.

  • And then Katy yells out, "I have the Rush, baby!"

  • Classic! Fake as hell, but classis nonetheless! I've seen some videos of her band and they are actually a top notch group of musicians, so at first I didn't doubt that they played this, but at closer examination, this appears to have been pieced together.

  • what shit is this. that was BAD!

  • you know theres that one guy who got dragged there by his girlfriend, and knowing this, the band deceided to throw him a wee bone. Respect to the band.

  • Oh man..... lol you got me. At first I thought WTF. You can tell, this very kick ass Rush song is over-dubbed to a shitty band. This is the best Katy Perrys band will ever be, lol

  • big fake

  • LOL, nice upload

  • bet 99% of the crowd had no idea of the RUSH reference

  • oh my god! I just realized this is fake! lol. look at the drummer, his action dont match up with the song

  • Well I suppose someone as modernly famous as Katy Perry playing a song by Rush is definitely good. Even though her music sucks, it seems she has good taste.

  • @MrYoursuchanoob

    It's not Katy Perry, it's her band.

  • @bozhno

    Then never mind. Her musical taste is terrible :P

  • best laugh i've had all month, thanks mate

  • This is fake you clowns!

  • RUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • You know, she actually took the melody from Cygnus with her "I kissed a girl and I liked it" lyric.

  • when good musicians get tired of playing shit... cygnus x1 happens

  • @StevenInATree great comment mate...and effing true!!!

  • Doing Katy Perry doggy style while listening to Cygnus X-1. Now there's a thought...

  • i hate you !!!!!!!! why would you do that

  • I need to get a friend of mine to see this. She's a big Katy Perry fan and hasn't heard much Rush.

  • fake and gay

  • This is the best Katy Perry's Band has ever sounded. Without her being there.

  • RUSH influenced everyone!

  • Good for them, good job. Saw Rush in Hamilton this weeek, they ended the show with that. The difference is staggering!! It made me think of this video and the huge contrast. The difference in attack and power of those five notes that night was black and white to this. Just showed the pure talent and dedication in these three guys...SUBLIME!!!

  • It's Cygnus but in a different key. That's awesome that a a pop star's band threw that in the mix to spice it up. Maybe non/unsuspecting Rush fans might say, "Wow that was cool. Where did that come from?". Or maybe Katy is a Rush fan. Who knows?

  • O.K. now I love Katy Perry. Maybe next time she'll join in and sing. "Sound and fury drown my heart, every nerve is torn apaaaaarrrrt........".LOL.

  • @greekmd only geddy. you gotta love him :)

  • fuckin wannabes

  • NOOOOOOOOOO!

    WHY?

    also they did a rather shitty job

    and none of the fans know what talent created that.

    i laugh at the naive fans.

  • katy perry's band isn't katy perry. They're all impeccable musicians. And come on, if you were offered a lot of money to play easy, catchy pop songs and to be able to tour the world doing so, you'd say yes wouldn't you?

  • @msammas exactly.

  • They weren't actually playing Cygnus. The dude just dubbed over it with the song. If you look closely at the instruments, they aren't playing anything remotely close to what the song is doing. Aparently a lot of you can't realize it, though.

  • @guitarman0366

    Actually, they really did play Cygnus. The reason it looks off is because the audio and video are out of sync.

  • @guitarman0366 If u actually know cygnus x-1, you can tell they're playing it off. this isn't a dubb. Cygnus x-1 goes E-E-D-E-G. They're obviously playing the same pattern but not the original notes.

  • Great to see her band has good taste.....

  • LMFAO...

    Ok, so I guess we have to give them a little credit for at least knowing who Rush is and having the balls to play a little bit of it. Most the fans there listening have NO idea what they are hearing and if you played Rush for them would be like "these guys suck". But have a bunch of pre-pube pretty boys play a little of it and they are all "this is AMAZING". God I hate everybody in the world right now...lol.

  • They played only one riff?

  • holy fuck I hate katy perry

  • WTF??

  • Cool. That's a great riff.

  • Ten bucks says the crowd had no idea what that song is.

  • @Meef1701 id bet they wouldnt now wat kind of music that was

  • @Meef1701 I so agree

  • @Meef1701 I don't want to lose ten bucks.

  • @Meef1701 you shoulda bet a hundred

  • @Meef1701 katie perry didnt even know what that was

  • ARE YOU SERIOUS?

  • Very clearly fake. It would be cool if it was real, but the record execs would never allow it.

  • @DSCRAPRE Agreed ! but it'd be way cool ! F#$%^k the execs - I'm gonna have a chat with their band....

  • rush am scum

  • Is this the Twilight Zone? Do you guys not know that this is fake? Come on Rush fans, you're letting me down here.

  • Rush is awesome and so is that firework Katy Perry...

  • LOL ! Good to know they listen to/grew up on real music. Thumbs up from a life long Rush fan.

  • Do the whole thing including the whole hemisphere's part 2 shit.. Love that best rush song ever

  • I'll bet those guys are world class session musicians, forced to play in Katy Perry's band because they desperately need the money.

  • this is wrong on so many levels

  • @roachmon95 OOOOOORRRRR....it's a backing band playing a song they and/or katy perry like
