2112 (Rush) The Experience PART TWO [full song]

[Dioneo]

I liked your video very much, but I had to laugh at your literal interpretation of the "elder race".

[theskullmaster5898]

WE HAVE ASSUMED CONTROL

[mdh975]

Awesome Job on both parts of the video!

[doctorvannostrand55]

if you need a picture, read anthem by ayn rand and create your own! but still, good story bro. 

[vegaskratt]

Thank you painting a picture to this amazing story

[flybynight7]

Neil pert le dió un toque especial a Rush al incluir canciones con temas misticos!

[Legionbass19]

Incredible videos. You should be praised for making this.

[puckbat]

Great job on the video! 

[CCWShredders]

Most epic story....end of discussion

i cant help but cry at the end every time i hear this song not tears of sadness but tears of epicness i cant explain it but i think i don't have to to you people you probably know what im talking about already.

[atommark]

Absolutely fantastic. really well done.

Although - I didnt think there was another war at the end, I thought the last words were just a confirmation of the oppression ?

[XenaXVI]

wow... I have never heard this song before, I kind of stumbled on it by accident... I am literally blown away. This is AMAZING. End of story.

[NetBoy2112]

@XenaXVI Woo! Another addicted... welcome to enlightenment :)

[crustlessraptor49]

oh man i just played this whole song along with this videos my wrists hurt so bad. (guitar)

[floBflo2020]

I always wondered why Rush didn't make a video for this majestic music. Nice job man I really enjoyed it........:)

[jsans2000]

It's interesting I was listening to 2112 in my car today, when I thought about what this type of production would look like. Then I thought, someone must have done this and put it on youtube.. low and behold, here it was. It's similar to what I thought it would be, but there are some areas that I would change. But I respect the amount of time and effort it must have taken to put this together. Well done.

[theclairebeary]

thank you! :D YOUR AWSOME

[marcjauh2008]

Thanks, man! You took me back to the old days. RUSH was my first concert. Knoxville, Tennessee 1980. Freakin' incredible! You did a fabulous job of showing the spirit of the song. My hat off to you and much praise for a job well done. THANK YOU!

[kennytheamazing]

is it just me or is there some of the vocals "missing" ? like the solo...

I remember about the guitar being smashed, but it was just the solo with the lyrics typed over it...

[runekey]

@kennytheamazing In the printed lyrics that originally came with this album, each chapter began with text that was not necessarily lyrics, but told a part of the story of the song. The text that is not vocal lyrics is wrapped in quotation (" ") marks in this video.

[tinker713]

wow. i got this when i first heard it... but with the images... it's like i was denying what it REALLY meant for a long time... very good videos. thank you. five stars. =)

[laurence231]

You dont know music if you dont know rush. This is amazing! Rush have the power to make you feel any way they want you to through music! unlike all that "N dubz" SHIT of today

[vssl13hp]

this is a great story . no doubt . this band just fucking kicks ass....... i mean could we make this ? long live rush .....

[generosos87]

2112 should be a rock opera or a movie!!! whos with me?!?!

[marcjauh2008]

@generosos87 I AGREE 100%!! Rock opera live!

[6SilverCobra9]

Does anyone else see a relationship between this song and the USSR

[ouateonetoo1]

Well done! One of the most imaginative songs of the day. It very much moved me too back in the day. Good fore-sight... great progression...brought back some good memories. Thanks..

[maxamvs327]

*STANDING OVATION*  EXCELENT!!!!

[bobstonecutter]

Beautifully done.. I haven't listened to this song in years, so I'm glad I fell across your vision and not just a static picture of the album cover. =-)

The Federation = The Hidden Hand Beyond The Federal Reserve.

They WILL be the cause of the spilling of much "Life Blood"...

The Black Priests Of Syrinx

[RABoesenberg]

excellent!

[tigrrwoodwannabe]

runekey- Well done capturing the essence of this song through your visions. Awesome job!! Any Rush fan will love it and any non-Rush fan will appreciate it. Thanks for all your hard efforts!! I wil definitely let all my Rush friends know about this!

[tigrrwoodwannabe]

runekey- Well done capturing the essence of this song through your visions. Awesome job!!

[austic1]

When you think about it, this song has so much meaning. it is almost like a warning.

[hitopsful]

Until reading all the lyrics, i haven't noticed at how beautiful of a song this is

[myhilohi]

I always pictured this as an animated video. My favorite part is when he discovers the hidden cave behind the waterfall and finds the guitar, tunes it up, and music explodes. Sad, but somehow, this song applies to todays poliyical situation. We are all subjects of the Preists. Very close to the year......

[bandan11]

we're not worthy, we're not worthy, we're not worthy, we're not worthy,

[grandfax]

AWESOME

[Hpinelli]

An amazing job!! Wonderfully creative, and somewhat scarily visionary. Thanks for sharing.

[ltcapone]

This is awesome (both parts). My favorite song ever, best band ever, great video to capture the meaning. Some of the lyrics are hard to read but I can sing this song backwards in my sleep.

[runekey]

@ltcapone As I said in the description, the lyrics are intentionally hard to read as to not obstruct the imagery :) 

[chums122]

@runekey here is one:

Cygnus X-1 Book II - Rush

[DJFreuden]

This is such a good vid and song, from 5:52 on, cant get enough! What a great guitar solo..

[LeBluLemon]

that was amazing XD loved every second of it ^.^ very well done runekey =]

[Azracingfan]

Runekey, like they all said before me......you have done the best, by far, on the 2112 video depiction......AWESOME!!!

Signed,

Another true RUSH devotee :o)

[IrritatingRemote]

combine this song with bohemian rhapsody and you have the meaning of life.

[LeBluLemon]

@IrritatingRemote I you do that, you have something manly-er than Chuck Norris =o

[rappinpat]

runekey,

You have done the best, by far, to show what 2112 is all about. Why your version has less than 2% of the hits just shows that people don't know a good thing when they have one.

Kinda the same lesson that the story of 2112 gives, don't you think?

[kinglukeful]

bad ass video great I genuinely applaude you I think you really nailed a greay song and a fantastic album

[drummergirl883]

This song is based on the book "Anthem" by Ayn Rand. It's a very good book, I recommend everyone who likes this to read it! :)

[erikslan]

@drummergirl883

there are a few other books like this, and the movie Equilibrium is based on the same things

[runekey]

@erikslan I was reminded again and again of Equilibrium while making this video.

[austic1]

AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!!!!

[godlyplatypus]

wow that was amazing! thanks! i feel like i experienced a revalation lol. the fact that i have read some of the literature that this is inspired from makes it even better.

[Sadesfaction]

FREAKIN' AWESOME. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!

[Xander3G]

kick ass video!

[zeldaking320]

Rush is effing awesome, and this is definte proof!

Rush forever!

[thercguy]

very nice..thanx for all the effort

[stackodude12]

this is a long ass song but its fantastic

[darkestidiot93]

Really good Job. 

[urfuknass]

Very remarkable and impressive video...our world needs a lot of wisdom right now...thank you. Gladly subscribed.

[aynporkchop]

this is an awesome video for an amazing song!

[augabachoo]

amazing job dude! sending links to both parts to my friends.

[tourdeforce17]

This gonna sound really nerdy, but I do can't wait to play this on GH:Warriors of Rock =P I'd Love to try and learn the solos on real guitar, but it would take a while lol.

Anyway, great video!

[runekey]

@tourdeforce17 has it been confirmed that this song will be in GH6?

[tourdeforce17]

@runekey Yes, and alot of imagery from the song is used the game's story mode! Apparently it's split into the 7 segments and you play each one at a different stage in the game.

[AlucardOVA666]

@runekey All seven parts are confirmed.

[runekey]

@AlucardOVA666 NOW MUST BUY

[hardycove1]

@runekey lol my parents wont preorder it for me so im gonna save up my own money and buy it myself when gh6 comes out. :D

[zeldaking320]

@runekey yes it has.

in fact, theres even a story in it loosley based of the 2112 album, and some venues from it like the Cave where he finds the guitar, the Temples of Syrinx, and a giant floating island with the "Starman" emblem floating behind your band.

[aynporkchop]

@tourdeforce17 dude, if this song is on guitar hero, i will but whatever system i need to play it. that is all i would do! haha

[FElipeVElarde]

finaly some has the honor to do this, amazing, i love it.....belive me, every Rush fan imagin all those things when 2112 is playing, and you bring it to the reality---Im actualy praying for 2112 the movie ....of course a GOOD movie

[runekey]

@FElipeVElarde I hear you man. Every time I listened to this song, I saw the plot unfold in my head, and I wanted to make a video so I could see it come to life. At first I wasn't going to put it on Youtube, but I just decided to one day, and now Im glad i did :)

[dirtytoenail45]

yeh it was purty good d00d

[KingSteveooo]

That.. was.. Unbelievable! I donno about anyone else.. but that really got me.. that was perfect! You sir... are a hero! like ... WOW

[runekey]

@KingSteveooo Hey, i'm really glad you liked it. Thank you for the support :)

[flicmydik]

im glad my dad played rush when i was a kid. they have opened the door to true music. this song i think is a foretelling of what might be if we are not wise to the "priests" and their doings. save your instruments and the plans to make them from scratch!!!

[aynporkchop]

@flicmydik that is good, but this song is about more than just musical instruments. the main character didn't kill himself after the instrument was destroyed, he killed himself when he saw the potential of his life and realized that it would never be fulfilled under the federation. every man should learn from this that to live for "your brothers" is ridiculous, that the only purpose of life comes from fulfilling your own dreams. read "Anthem" by Ayn Rand. you will understand.

[JordMcDrummer]

awesome vid. i under stood most of the story behind the song, bur not the overture. awesome song to choose from too! 8:50 = best part of the song.
