[kdograves]

Great song



[noblepuker]

Great tune.

[jac712]

musical gods!

[NormanStanlyFletcher]

One of my fave Rush songs. Nobody can touch these guys. They are soooo tight it's not real. Just saw them last year on tour in the UK when they played all of Moving Pictures. Believe me they've still got it. An excellent concert with three musicians who are at the top of their game.

[claytonjester]

wasnt born in the 80's, but i still know that something about this group is very special, we can listen and imagin ourselves going back many years when things were simple and just. 3 guys that never had to "feature someone" or change their line up, and didnt do it for the money, i think i speak for everyone when i say RUSH.......KICKS......ASS!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheThomasmoon]

@claytonjester It doesn't matter how old you are Rush is a band for all ages .

[shelleyinthecity]

It is hard to believe there are only 3 instruments and 3 musicians in this powerful song.

[tygre138]

@shelleyinthecity 3 musicians yes, but there are at least 5 instruments in this song

[christincosby]

best band ever

[snakeyes1985]

1981 i was 4 years old

[snakeyes1985]

great music i was 4 years old when i first heard this song driving with my mom and sister to toysrus for some gi joe figures

[jayfettes1]

One of the best songs ever recorded pertaining to the Music industry !!!!

[Beerwaddy]

amazing musicians and the songs are pretty good

[jesseadkins187]

when i was younger and my parents listen to this i always thought rush was a female...

[bartmcfarling]

Tom Hanks plays one hell of a drum set.

[ilkovsky]

So cool to watch them play!

[atnguy]

Filmed a few months before MTV debuted. One could argue 'the day the music died' was August 1, 1981.

[fordfocusperson]

DAMN I miss the 80's

[YtseMule]

6 idiots in the world -

what a classic song - I'm proud to call myself a Rush Geek!

[redheadtx2007]

@YtseMule me too! 3 members, no special sound effects...just pure music.

[shelleyinthecity]

I can't decide who is more talented in this song, the guitar, bass, or drums. Amazing.

[dvdfrnzwbr]

@shelleyinthecity They sold their souls to the Devil I tell you. There is not other explaination for their talent.

[JonnyLikesPie]

damn! i forgot how incredible this song and especially the lyrics are...Peart is a genius imo

[oraygates]

so cool...!

[godinov100]

Блестящая группа одна из лучших в проге!!!!!

[Jockeys1973]

[rushaholic1]

If lost on a desert island; Just let me hear Rush all day. I know I'll make it! The question isn't whose first . . . . its whose second!

[reignman2112]

seen em 11 times....jus sayin'

[rockandrollmcdonalds]

@reignman2112 what years did u see them

[idontgiveaflyingtoss]

STILL TOO LOW IN SOUND FOR THE VID. LITTLE BOI.

[Jones60100]

It was GREAT!!!! I was born in '60, in Beaumont, Texas, so in the 70's and 80's I saw just about everyone who came to Bmt., Houston, and Lake Charles, La. The first 4 times I saw Rush it was a big head show production themed after the album they were promoting, plus they still played the previous hits. Dry ice, costumes, lights etc. Fantastic! The last time I saw them was Lake Charles. They came out in street clothes, with white lights, and blew us all away! Rocked it to the MAX!FLAWLESS!Love em

[axcz3]

AWESOME, PERIOD!!!

[PetChickenz]

their music is hot and so is geddy's hair ......drool :D god i love rush, i used to draw pictures of geddy and fantasize about him when i was a teenager :P im a young person :D Rush is true Rock, not like the crap nowadays. when i discovered their music, i would listen to them over and over again, i've never forgotten about them, older rock groups are far better than anything we have now and there will never be anything better, bar now, not in a million years

[turydragon]

@PetChickenz Even if Rush is my favorite band, and I respect your opinion, theres a lot of really good music out there today. Some that Even Rush acknowledged as Awesome tunes.

[metalheadneji]

they rock simply said they are pure geniuses

[camelpospisil]

It must be awesome rehearsing and recording in the middle of nowhere

[tacomadc]

I love he has his congas next to him like he's going to suddenly break out in a salsa solo - lol!

[tacomadc]

Thank you guys - just thank you.

[OrchidTigress1]

<):) Greetings from CA!!

[metalhead1272]

Rush is the most epic band ever!!!

[taz9889]

I don't care how old this song is, it is still awesome! Takes me right back to high school!

[BrooklynBizznezz]

@taz9889 dayum i'm so jealous....being in high school during that time must of been stellar.....i only get to see clips,hear stories and watch movies..........im so envious.....

[tacomadc]

@BrooklynBizznezz Ha ha, you got us there. Not only progressive bands, but the immediate explosion of bands like the Talking Heads, Blondie, Ramones, etc. Loved King Crimson too - Yes, Asia, Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult - so cool to see young guys//gals loving this music.

[dollyjjjg]

@taz9889 I sooooooooo agree man I love it,I remembr as a teenager trying to momorize the words,,,I would play my 45,,lol,,ov er and over again

[gaae2000]

OMG, ur old...

[ThePathickey]

@gaae2000 

[TylerTV123]

just think three guys make this good of music

[deadchefbill]

I love Geddy Lee!!!! hes the awsomest bassist/keyboardist/singer that does it all at once on stage!!!!

[pajaroinflamable]

overol azul medias rojas zapatillas blancas y el pelo de mi tía Rita... qué grosso que sos, Geddy!!! lo veo a Neil Peart tocar y se me cae la baba, por favor cómo la gasta este tema, para vos, Angelillo queridooo!!!

[Rickertsred]

Best Rush song! Love to get to watch Pert work!

[blitzshriek999]

Any band thats got an Eraserhead poster hangin in their studio - and nothing else-automatically makes them fuckin great

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

That's LeStudio in Quebec, where Rush recorded a few of their best albums, including "Moving Pictures". A number of other performers recorded here as well. Unfortuantely, it has been abandoned and has fallen into disrepair over the years. Ironically, Neal Peart lives not too far from LeStudio. Check out the article on LeStudio on Wikipedia; it's very interesting.

[ynjcondo]

Totally gay

[deadchefbill]

@ynjcondo what do you listen to....

[ltuomela]

@ynjcondo fuckin....WHAT!...awe man i pity you...

[GOPsMrDependable]

How come everone is spelling Neil Peart's name wrong. Peart not Pert

[GOPsMrDependable]

@GOPsMrDependable Hey idiot you spelled everyone wrong

[Assisi4]

I remember when I first heard this song. It was the summer of 86 at summer camp. Our bunk was in a van driving to a camping area and one of the campers or counselors played this tape. I'll never grow tired of this song. 

[xso61673]

6 dislikes? What kind of morose motherfucker dislikes Rush?

[AgainsttheMediocrity]

The perfection on Earth!!!

30 years listening Rush and i want more from this band.

thanks !!!

[idderz]

NEIL PERT IS AL POWERFUL

[DefxCrossbowx]

WORKING MAN IS OK BUT NO NIEL PERT ")

[PoeJoe8]

Brilliant!

[kmhow]

neil perat best drummer

[tobyturnerfan5000]

i kid u not me and my friend were at the bus stop waiting and we were talking about our favorite band around the 80's and i brought up rush and she said "whats that?'' i back handed her and yelled at her!!!!!

[bassplayer119]

best bass player in the world



[MrMollusk7]

Love this band. Best drummer ever.

[blankplanet]

vibrato in alex's solo makes my nipples harden

[vinstermonster]

@blankplanet im picturing you as a female above the age of 18 with huge tits... shut up dude.

[xxbrexx65]

@blankplanet you go girl yes

[kargar0624]

@blankplanet TMI

[justinp5960]

this band is chick repellent haha. i love rush though

[losingitrush]

@justinp5960 dude...my mom turned me on to rush lol. im never turning back. favorite band

[TheMattio100]

@justinp5960 these dude got more girls than motley crue

[bombaboi21]

Dope. The singer looks like a woman and he's wearing a unitard, but you gotta give the bastard credit. He is very talented. But i truly think the drummer makes Rush the legend it is.

[ScooterAndOtis]

@bombaboi21 him and geddy. the man does vocals, bass (and is probably the best bassist ever), keys, foot pedals. he truly makes the band by doing almost all the work

[smartalek65]

Can't help but absolutely LOVE this classic!

[guins99]

If you dont like RUSH you dont like ROCK.... that is all.

[hickierox]

a passage to bangcock is my personal favey..

but gotta love that drum intro and the solo.. :D

[babcock3613]

THE BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN.......



[thegrungewave]

what i luv about this video is they all look like they're having so much fun. this is like my dream. i wanna get together a band & buy a recording studio in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere. Rush rocks!

[BLACKxLACExOVERxFIRE]

Geddy Lee.....only man alive to publicly rock bright red socks and royal blue sweats. Epic!

[idontgiveaflyingtoss]

@BLACKxLACExOVERxFIRE

blacks like rock.

lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooo

[metalhead3671]

great song, great lyrics, amazing band!!

[RAfan212]

this has the greatest intro of all time

[MrTrublu76]

@RAfan212

dont know bout alll time..but close

[heckathornmike86]

6 people got no life and bash old rock bands to make up for the crappy new shit they call rock fuck them

[sarupaul1]

lol Eraserhead at 0:16.

[Bommit91]

6 People have no idea what real music is. RUSH IS THE BEST.

[michelicnek]

the greatest rock band period!....and the most intelligent

[Xads308]

that is the most bad ass studio i have ever seen and is the most bad ass i will ever see...i love the eraserhead poster!

[1olrocker]

I love LeStudio. I looks so warm and conducive for making and recording great music. Particularly with the wintry backdrop. I've seen it in a couple videos, this, Tom Sawyer, and I think another band or two filmed themselves recording a song there and made it their video. They look like they're having a blast, and the positive energy comes out in the song. What a great tune from Rush.

[777airrick]

I'll be honest, Rush is kind of....Fucken Awesome!!

[megajimi]

anyone who says anything bad about Rush is just completey stupid and doesn't know what great rock music is. Period.

[2112rushfanforever]

God on Drums, Jesus on bass, and a cute angel on guitar ;)

RUSH!!! <3

[skmetalhead16]

the funny thing about this song is that Neil wrote the lyrics for Moving Pictures which then made the band even bigger

[comedy677]

THE WORST PART OF THIS SONG IS WHEN IT ENDS!

[DemelitionD]

@comedy677 It would be awesome if it was longer like La VIlla Strangiato.(: I've listened to this band since I was 3 years old and I'm now 16 I've seen them at least 8 times now and my 9th was most recent at Hershey! Neil Peart is my idol for my drumming and the whole band inspires my musical career. Meeting them all has inspired me to do many greater things with myself and my music career I could never thank these Guys enough for what they influenced me to do!

[comedy677]

@DemelitionD cool man

[comedy677]

EARGASIM 0:00 - 4:22

[wolfwolf1803]

i what to machine tour and it did ROCK. if i had the money i had to go again and again. RUSH FOR LIFE!!

[brandito888]

rush is the best band in the world i went to go see them 2 times at the acc snakes and time machine tour rock on!!!!!!!!

[jt18drive]

Three guys who can put out all this music out,are so talented.Rush Rules.

[fb3221379]

best of all time, Peart is god, Detroit loves Rush

[fb3221379]

best of all time, Pert is god, Detroit loves Rush

[fb3221379]

best of all time, Pert is god

[vandalaylatex6969]

RUSH San Diego! Awesome!!!

[Wayne2000100]

Drums on top of Drums.

[ledzepfan02]

has to be one of the best band along with Zeb and Sabbath

[MrRawr18]

man...Geddy Lee's vocals have me on the floor hugging the carpet.....

[thegrandejete]

haha i love how cheesy the early 80s video editing and animation was in this video (like during the solo)... but don't get me wrong AMAZING song.

[pacificasucksballs]

i love rush so damn much

[ThunderManiack]

Every one who say they need to be american you guy are so dam greedy you have great bands so shut up they're already awesome so leave them

[AmericaRulesYouDrool]

There is only one problem with Rush and that is that they're not American. If they had been an American band, the music would have been so much better - they would have been taught by the best and been 100 times better. They are the best thing to come out of Canada, but not absolutely nothing next to our stuff. I feel sorry for foreign bands for that reason.

Not a bad tune, but it definitely needs to be done by an American band.

[artslive83]

@AmericaRulesYouDrool -

You my friend have no idea about what RUSH is --

Neil Peart - greatest living drummer alive ... most skilled veteran of our era .. only second to Jon Bonham.

Alex Lifeson - When Eddie Van Halen was asked who he thought was the greatest guitarist alive (read 1980s) he said "Ask Alex Lifeson" ....

Geddy Lee - Plays Bass and Keyboards (with feet/sequencers/patches etc) AND sings! an inspiration for so many awesome bassists of this day!!

[artslive83]

@AmericaRulesYouDrool -

an before you judge other bands like RUSH ... just give it a thought whether you know anything about music at all... OR that you listen to Beiber and Ga-Ga all day.

[obxdrummrx]

@AmericaRulesYouDrool are you serious... way to discriminate ...keep listening to Justin Bieber, we don't need you making fun of true talent. youseemsomad.jpg

[wyldefan716]

@AmericaRulesYouDrool ...........bite your tongue!!!

[rockdoon2]

@AmericaRulesYouDrool you know what? im 15 and 100% american... and to be honest the best bands of rushes era were from other countrys.... ie: scorpians: germany, rush and triumph: canada, black sabbath,iron maiden and many others : great brittan...so why dont you think before you speak next time...ok?

[CP3x2007]

@AmericaRulesYouDrool Troll (?) If not, listen to "Territories."

[jbassman666]

@AmericaRulesYouDrool your name alone exposes you for the troll you are

[drum4life25]

the greatest band ever

[tugster19]

LOVE THE ERASERHEAD POSTER

[alexlifeson4pres]

Pioneers of Prog Rock, and probably one of, if not the best, bands ever!!! I LOVE RUSH!!!

[Cyber99chicken]

dude i agree with the cheetoe dude there is no drumer better than Neil pert and I also agree that it isnt easy being cheesy haha

[DrJemini777]

I used to sit in my backyard in an old shed with my drums and put headphones on and learn all the little things Neil does in this song!!! Great song and fun old times. :-) Moving Pictures STILL rox!!!!!!!!

[yeapno]

Great song .. i want to point something out, the song I Like to rock by April Wine at the end of the music video you see that same dog as you see at the beginning and end of this one.. maybe it was the owners ? anyone have and info on this?

[Prosopagnosia11]

"All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players, performers and portrayers"

those are some nice lyrics and can be applied to life.

[tomtomtomtam]

As much as I LOVE rush, those aren't origional lyrics. That's acually re-wording a quote of Shakspeer, "Life is a stage and we're all in the cast" Ozzy also took these lyrics in his song, "I Don't Know" Rush is still amazing, and Neil is god at drums and writing lyrics. Just wanted to point out, those specificlly aren't his genuis.

[80sheadbanger963]

yeah rush KICKASS!!!!

[rockyriverman]

I always loved this song. Rush at it's very best!

[Jidster01]

@rockyriverman I love this song. No doubt about that. But nothing beats The Spirit of Radio!

[sneezyize]

@rockyriverman This comes close for me as my favorite Rush tune. I'm a little more partial to Freewill from Permanent Waves -- although I'll definitely not turn Limelight off and will even turn it up if it plays.

[rushrocks96]

absolutly fantastic!

geddy, alex and neil rockkkk! =]=]=]

[cabinalex]

no choice, must love Neil pert,

[sneezyize]

@cabinalex Yes, Neil Peart is a drummer like no other, especially on Limelight.

[farmersboy1]

look at how young the look
