Rush- The Spirit of Radio (cover)

[JhonnyWalkerRed91]

great 5/5

[cheeezstik]

This would be ok for a cover filmed just for the sake of a cover just to put on youtube to show off skill, but when actually performing you actually have to look like your feeling the music and having a good time or it looks terrible and the audience will probably get bored. Lol the guitarist looks like he's sleeping .

[missfiggypie]

yeah you guys really did a number here! way to ROCK! rush would be proud youngins have such good taste in music! :) i just created a new account here if you wana check out my only video I'm more anxious & happy to hear any feedback I can... keep ROCKIN!

[ChynnaDoll87]

WAY impressed, you guys rock.

[nevinkel]

Bless you for playing Rush at a school. This kids need to know what's up with the Holy Trinity!!!!

[SoaringMuse]

lord jesus you guys were 14? this is pretty impressive. very well done.

[stykzninja1]

its a good thing most of the audience had never heard the real song, just saying...

[EMBOBZ2112]

Good cover for 14 year olds! Bet none of the audience know who Rush are though .. RUSH ARE AMAZING.

[WassonasonVegeta]

@EMBOBZ2112 Rush is amazing*grammar nazi :D, Rush was, is, and always shall be amazing!

[boomwa2002]

thumbs up if you were singing for them!

[cbblazer]

thats pretty great for your age im impressed

[jmd130]

no singer? :'(

It was pretty good though. I <3 Rush!

[Karmarghh]

Move around more!! Enjoy it!

[katers707]

you guys are terrible i just puked everywhere........... the drummers kinda cute tho 

[asl1095]

Why did they dress up a statue and put a guitar on it?

[Kruelwanderer911]

GREAT AMAZING COVER!

The drummer isn't so great, but really, who can be as great as Neil Peart? xD

Also, It looks like your guitarist just doesn't want to be there - which in a way kind of makes ME not want to be there o_O

Ultimately, it's an orgasmic song and you guys did a great cover. :D :D

[bigbenwoo]

Crazy good bro!

[deidara111]

00:15 Kurt listen to slayer! XD

[MazingSk8ter]

00:15 - 00:25 ITS KURT COBAIN AHHHHH!!!!

[toolshedmusicman]

@MazingSk8ter thats wat im saying!!!!!!!!!!!

[toolshedmusicman]

at 00:10 is that kurt fucking cobain

[LedZeppRox13]

IF YOU MOVE AROUND NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN. haha kidding. but yeah dont be afraid to rock out guys!!! It keeps the crowd going and it makes it more fun. But awesome cover! rock on!

[vannah1110]

You guys did very good! It was very cool to watch. I think Alex Lifeson would be proud to see a 14 year old playing this that well. :D

[ledwis]

Live shows is not just about playing, you need to act too!! great playing but feel the music..

[misbanditracing95]

That was simply perfection! I love Rush and you guys did everything but the vocals. Great job!!

[fleezerstyle44]

that lady @7:05 is probably there high as sh*t to watch her son shred Rush

[macornman]

good except drummer

[Mafaka881]

guitarist hast to get into it more cause he was looking at his guitar for ever and had no expressions at all. C'mon man

[mercurymay]

sounding very solid. i don't think the drummer is bad, i think that he needs to hit the snare with a little more... purpose. his cymbal work is good. your bassist is INSANE!!!

[Alive95theband]

its pretty good but your drummer is shit

[guitarguy940]

Thats a great cover.

Im glad the bassist didn't use a pick. Sounds really great like that.

Guitarist has good chord structure, but you need to flow better with those high notes starting at 3:08. The transiition back to the fast riff after that should be more smooth, dont make a sudden stop, keep the sound moving.

Drummer you have it right on. Neils off beat snares are no match from you and your volume ballences well with the guitarist.

Awesome you guys, call me up to sing :P

[JaycobboBoatman]

@guitarguy940

yea with the high notes, at the time i wasn't able to do it well, or keep it flowing haha. thx for the comment!

[bonjovirocks15]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! guys!! awesome job!

[Socialactionprojectb]

MOVE u look like statues, but i know u guyz are nervous, still good, and ur amp soundz terrible sometimes through out the song

[ZribTurd]

It's good, but youre like a freaking statue man...

[dragonsirethestrong]

Great cover guys! for only being 14 this is astounding. all you guys r missing is a lead singer and some stage presence, otherwise this is a great cover, keep up the good work.

[XanaduShredder]

Pretty good guys, get a singer though.

[ih8txttlkalot]

What's your bands name?

[gladiatorlover94]

Alex Neil would be absolutley ashamed.

[chrisismename]

nice

[trevor8930]

how old are you guys

[epicness14]

Nice touch with the bassist wearing a 2112 shirt :)

[loser4444333221]

i listened to this vid again and came to my senses woah u guys r good srry 4 saying that

[mufc0794]

dude u need to move more give it more energy ur to static and makes it look more boring ur a very good player but u need to move to keep the crowd going show more enthusiasm and lift ur head from the guitar

[youtellmegod]

RIGHT ON!!!

YOU GUYS ROCK!

[ssjdopey]

did i see a slayer shirt? nice

[loser4444333221]

Wanna see a better band search paryce 99 they do a great cover of rock and roll by led Zeppelin

[loser4444333221]

This is terrible rush should hunt u down and murder u

[JaycobboBoatman]

@loser4444333221 thx for the constructive criticism. and i dont see what that band has to do with anything- considering they arent even playing rush or spirit? there are a lot of good cover bands out there. 

[glockenspiel341]

@loser4444333221

your name says it all

[lg123xyz]

Thats great to hear the young kids playing Rush... I'd expect them to play something more modern.

[flabdude3]

U r aware that this song has lyrics right? What was the front man taking a wiss?

[DaGuiTarRacEr542]

very nice playing, but like u know what that other guy said..more energy the next time!! =)

[restlessgtr]

Dude this is way better than i thought it would be. good job.

[basslifeonChrist777]

I don't know much about guitar and drums by I do know that that bassist has got guts to tackle a geddy lee song and skill to do it!

You guys are awesome

[1billtroop]

hey, you guys did really good, how nervous were you?

[higgininja]

Its good. Just enjoy what you're doing. have some fun.

[dada0510]

kurt kobain is in the video 0:19 jaja

[Dubickimus]

your lookin a little stiff, good playing but losen up. KICK OUT THE JAMS DUDE

[indeans48]

cool but it sounds so empty without the vocals

[AckAttack77]

@indeans48 not true, i sang along ^_^

[jpcgolfin]

You Guys Were Awesome! Keep it up.

[tbonesippy]

Give em a break ! ..could be the first of many cool shows down the road ...you never know ?

[JakeMeeble]

drummers too loud hes drowning out the others

[AckAttack77]

@JakeMeeble they're with 50w amps i bet, what do you expect?

[JakeMeeble]

@AckAttack77 true i guess its because i dont listen to garage bands much used to the high quality

[ThePastrami24]

Guitarist doesn't look happy to be there.

[skitfel]

the drummer is total shit..

[lamman08]

great job for your age. all you need is a singer. you might have a good futere as a band.

[Nopulse1337]

Pretty good for your age, your drummer needs to learn how to keep tempo haha.

[vectron12]

FEEL THE MUSIC GUYS!!

but yeah amazing just need a singer

[bestgamer2112]

pff slayer shirt screw that

[bomac500]

great job on a tough song.....the entertainment aspect will kick in soon enough for u so dont sweat it....good luck to u guys

[o01R0NM4N0o]

hes just concentratin thats y

[LordAbriel]

I'm sure that all three of the band members are a bit nervous, and probably concentrating a bit too hard so as not to screw up. That's all understandable, but the point still remains. If you're bored playing in front of an audience, then that's your fault, NOT theirs. And if you're using the "Im bored" excuse as an explanation for your less than enthusiastic performance, then again, I have to say, no matter how good you are technically.. you're not gonna be any fun to watch or listen to.

[superdutykid1990]

Lol your bass player looks like he needs a smaller guiter lmao... Good job this was awesome.

[Leadtheband96]

wow sounds solid drummer is awsome

[PrestonZero]

good job, you guys should move around more though :]

[alreadytaken334]

You guys totally skipped the fast part between the intro and the main riff.

[themusicguy123]

where? be more specific, cause it sounds all good to me

[alreadytaken334]

Oh, I kinda hear it now, but it's really hard to hear.

[KingDeanTDC]

@alreadytaken334 lol I noticed that too. Good job though.

[rmartin930]

Nice work, guys...you're into the "classics," AND you're helping to perpetuate this among the newest generations! I agree, you need to find a singer. The instrumental is very tight, you've got that down (better than many). Get a singer, and you'll really having something special!!

[iojwbdvojhbdf]

haha the guitarist looks bored. but still amazing

[mistaken72]

Oh shit man, you guys are freakin awesome for your age, I love the drums the most! The guitar riffs were done almost perfectly and in overall it was awesome, the bass too! You just need a singer!

[gunlover49]

holy shit

[Butterman265]

Now if only you had a singer.

[mgohitman]

holy crap this is awsome dude, keep it up!!

[randy0987]

nice playing!

[sixstringsentence]

you need to get yourselves a singer you fuckin rock. Put an advert up in your school or something

[JaycobboBoatman]

thx man, and we recently got a singer like 3 weeks ago

[cadgod120]

Your drummer is type awesome.

[goodjob151]

damn these kids are fucking bad ass

[WillyLee23]

dude this is fantastic! Why doesn't this have more views?! If only the audience knew just how tough this song is to pull off man.

[mgohitman]

it is man the riff is a killer, one of the hardest riffs i tried to play but this guy nailed it really well

[terriblejuan]

Holy shit that was AWESOME! Dude, you killed that song! I bet you got so much poon after that.

Oh man, I love this.

[JaycobboBoatman]

hahahahahahahahahaha

[fooshin]

hey that was awesome. I'm jealous, I can't play that riff.. thats a tough song, you guys did great!

[gratefulfloyd28]

dude hes 14, don't be a dick.  he'll grow out of the shy stage.

[mikethekid1980]

I'd sing for ya guys :P

Great cover guys!

[nobodyshero91]

you need a singer

[kissnation74]

good job

[kissnation74]

i got the same les paul

[jewg0ld]

it was pretty good, but boring. You should try to add your own flair to it, you're not Rush so don't try and copy them word for word, you know what i mean?

[JaycobboBoatman]

yeah, i get that, but were just amateurs unno. in time we'll be ripping more of our own thing

[jewg0ld]

i feel ya man, good work though

[jcbak]

Nice Job......

[JDrockerDUDE]

@JaycobboBoatman dude dont take that shit from him it was awesome and sounded really good, most people i htink like straight covers. so dude dont listen to jewgold and keep doing covers like that man.

[JaycobboBoatman]

@JDrockerDUDE thx that means a lot man. it sounds a lot better now that we have a singer and were older and stuff though haha.

[ZribTurd]

@JaycobboBoatman Get a new video of your newer band, and if its better as you say, we'll be the judge of that xD

[JDrockerDUDE]

@jewg0ld dude, there were no lyrics, and it was a cover you asswipe, so stfu and you play a rush cover and than you'll be allowed to judge got it, it wouldnt sound good if they did it there own way.

[cessnapilot182]

nice job guys. when you get someone to sing this that'll be just amazing.

[atb448]

During the solo transition I was waiting for someone to yell: "OF SALESMEN!!!!!"

[sgswz8]

that was awsome

[matacoz]

Ya, needs singing and more...movement! BE HAPPY!

Other than that very awesome job to all of you!

[ijustfarted777]

bass player needed to sing... and you needed to be a little more enthusiastic... other than that it was amazing

[XcatisX]

We can't all be Geddy Lee dude. =P

[TravisMaher411]

Ohhhhhh you guys just killed it, danm that was pimp. Keep practicing that last solo...

[rendog92]

that was an outstanding cover

[JaycobboBoatman]

ty, we try lol. and thx all others

[spacejam1294]

add some Geddy and ur perfect

[rebelscum28]

hey man, sick guitar! and that amp is like a really good one too. keep rockin.

[Niox117]

Lol you look like you went into guitar overload. "Play perfect, don't move" Great vid man! 5 stars

[accordv6er]

dude... that was one of the best recreations of rush (obviously minus vocals) i have ever seen, and drummer, excellent job. thats Niel Pert, the best there ever was.

[serik21]

You guys have talent, thats for sure. Especially the drummer, great job on the tempo changes :D

[rushdrummerYYZ]

i saw you play on seans facebook your way better here

[fanofthemusic1090]

Dude, your drummer kicks ass.

[JaycobboBoatman]

thx for noticing

[JaycobboBoatman]

(we know we didnt move cuz it was our first time playing for anyone, so we were nervous)

[EZrhythm]

No biggie, sometimes Alex and Geddy don't move much either. Rock on!

[SkynyrdRocks412]

Not bad. you guys played pretty well considering you covered a rush song.

the drummer was pretty good. My drummer doesnt even want to try rush cause neil pearts stuff is tough.

the bassist was good. And the guitarist was pretty good too.

solo was alright, could have been a little better.

and you guys were stiff as logs, try to move around a little bit next time =]

but overall, great cover.

[hintoflemmons]

An ok cover. I admire your audacity to learn it and play it. Good job

[vrsca02]

fantastic boys! Keep up the good work!

[Jakethysnake93]

man get into the music more you gotta feel it

[InfestedCarnifex]

yeah it makes it look like your having fun and not just playing music

[eggburner123]

Great Job Guys. It's Hard To Be Entertained Without a Singer, but you Guys Pulled It Off. Plus Geddy Lee's Voice Is hard To Master.

[JaycobboBoatman]

heh, ur right about that, but nobody would sing it for exactly that reason- geddys voice is too hard to master

[themusicguy123]

wow guys.. amazing job. ur only 14 too! that intro is rly tough too. great job.

you guys should do subdivisions

keep up the work

[KCAJandPOPO]

As a guitarist, I can say the intro is incredibly easy, it just sound difficult. I pretty much had it down pat after 5-10 minutes of practice when I had only been playing for 4 months. I'm not trying to brag, just informing you about the difficulty of the song.

[BlackdogBassist]

great job guys! that drum/bass thing at the beginning always messes me up, keep at it!

[Chryan]

Great great cover for a school band! great cover period...if only you guys had a vocalist..itd be hard to find someone to cover geddy lees voice =P

[seveertrebor]

...nice work, thats a tough one too pull off, good job!!

[pgallarza1]

ahaha modesti,

yo good job Jake.. Boatman aha

[rushdrummerYYZ]

hey sean and band (i know sean) but jake younhit the beginning well that was cool good overall

[cataclysm4]

heyy jake it sean it sounded pretty good! yo i was worried my bass woudnt be loud enough because i only brought my 65 watt but it as good. lol the guitar solo was great too! good timing

[JaycobboBoatman]

ssry bout the bad recording, theres a buncha crap before the song and after, so just skip to like 2:00
