The best band in the whole world ever !!!....here in Lima, Perú, we are waiting so long for them. I´ll wait for them until I die. RUSH Is like listening a SYMPHONIC. So powerfull and also relaxed that makes music so fantastic !!! RUSH COME TO PERÚ.
I don't care what anyone thinks, Rush is the best!!! and I love Geddy's voice. He's also THE best bass player of all time. There is nothing satanic about their music. However I do believe that FriendlyPopo IS gay and a DORK!!
this shit make me wanna punch a nun in the face. what is the reason for this satanic crap? it sounds like dolphin rape. Rush is gay. The who is gay. Zepplin is better. ACDC is better. Fuck any garage band on the planet is better than this dorky shit
@FriendlyPopo I totally agree with you! Rush is obviously more Satanic than AC/DC. You thought Hells Bells was really really bad? Try listening to Rush's song Freewill! At least people know Satan is evil, and the band mates do bad stuff! Rush is a band of good people who use their lyrics to promote thinking for yourselves!
@FriendlyPopo Not sure what disturbs me more, your lack of knowledge and appreciation for talented musicians, or your obvious knowledge of dolphin rape...
No the fact that you have intimate knowledge of the sound of dolphin rape deeply disturbs me.
@Zanazuah whoa whoa whoa what disrespect o.o thats geddy lee we're talking about he always looked like that since 1972 or earlier, bet ur the only fag here
@Zanazuah But most everyone in the 70's, male or female, had long hair. So, by that logic, you're calling EVERYONE who happened to have long hair a "girly fag".
@sarahluvsBC13 stop being such a narrow minded person. Actually try listening to the music and interpreting the lyrics. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people attack something they don't even give a chance. Sorry if that bothers you, but it's just "my opinion."
when they wrote this they must of thought it was something very special indeed, Alex Liefson doesn't do traditional guitar chords so it amazes me how he remembers all the intricacies of his play
I love how all Rush's songs have a different meaning-a deeper meaning. You can sit there for hours relistening untill you finally understand what they're talking about~I love that :) My roommate and I can sit there all day just jamming to Rush ^_^
@rotom223 it takes talent for my type of music too with the screams, the insturments. This music is annoyng and old! i dont like it... i dont find it that great and its not even a masterpiece! m sorry, but thats just my opinion.
@SarahLuvsBC13 yes. your right. its your opinion, and no one can fuck with that. BUT KNOW THIS.... all the music you know today, came out of all the old classics. alternative came from grunge. grunge came from undergound punk. underground punk came from 80's rebellion music. (bands like kiss, and what not) and that came from 70's. and that came from the blues. it all evolved into something else. but put them together, and you get a family tree. :) thats just how i see it.
This song is a parable against socialism / communism as is 2112.
Note the "acknowledgment to the genius of Ayn Rand" in the album text.
The parable is saying "If you object to the notion that some people do better than others due to having better personal gifts than others and if you demand that all be made equal... then the socialist solution is to cut down everyone to the lowest common denominator. All are made equal in abject poverty. Think Cuba, North Korea.
The closing phrase "...are all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw" is not a statement of advocacy. Its a warning of the consequence of socialist policies.
These dudes clearly read Atlas Shrugged and took the message to heart and into lyrics.
@ebrakus I'm curious to know if Neil Peart would agree TODAY with the uses to which Ayn Rand's philosophy is put by American (and Canadian) libertarians. When you listen to the lyrics of Big Money, it seems evident that the kind of neofeudalism which is the natural end game of applied objectivism/libertarianism is not something that Neil would have any interest in seeing manifested in any country. Still love this song, though.
@bej144 Its a safe bet that Peart's philosophy evolved over time. Who's doesn't. Even if one is predisposed to Rand's philosophy, its absolutist and extreem. This philosophic simplicity appeals to youth, but age's wisdom appreciates the pragmatic necessity of a more complex flexible and accommodative world view.
In any case, what a lonely pleasure it was to listen to the smartest rock music ever written.
Once I get the time machine built I'm going back to 1978, probably the best year in hard rock. Catch Rush on the Hemispheres Tour, AC/DC on the Powerage Tour, drop in on Thin Lizzy, Priest out touring Killing Machine. And the best for last.......UFO in Chicago and the Mid-West for the Strangers in the Night recordings. Need a flux capacitor though. Ebay?
@vamborooolz Just not enough space for all the bands i`ve been/am into !! Micheal Schenker era UFO in particular(But thats probably `cos im a guitarist!) AWESOME band !! "Doctor,Doctor" was one of the first tunes i learned bro` !! Peace Ye`all !!
'You can be the Captain and I will draw the chart'. Btw, did you know that UFO played Kenosha the night after Chicago and recorded the show as part of the recordings for 'Strangers In The Night'. One of the tracks appears as a bonus track on the remastered 'Obsession' (2008)
@vamborooolz YES I DID!!!! One of my best friends was 11 and his sister had to babysit him; therefore brought him to Carthage Collage where they played...let's just say Billy made his way to the front and was CHANGED FOREVER!!! And I JUST discovered that about the remastered "Obsession" about a month ago...maybe I should place some orders tonight!!!
In reference to FriendlyPopo, as an interest he lists going to peoples comments and making fun of them. Ignore the wee bastard, he gets off on people who get offended by what he says. I'm not sure if he is the one being teased in real life and takes it out on people on the internet because he doesn't have the testicular fortitude in real life. Or he is simply one of those that chooses a life of chaos. Either way, he is just a punk kid. Let the wee bastard slide. ;) OH and RUSH kicks ass.
not in the music hall of fame? probably aren't 3 bands in the hall who could even play this song. No one can do what Neil peart does on drums or they would have.
@scoobes11 Familiar with ELP ! Cant touch Rush sorry! Totally up there own arses and a Keys as the lead insrtument......!Heard much worse though!Peace Ye`all !!
@scoobes11 It`s been a long time right enough ! Maybe i should give them another listen ? Back then i was a lot more Guitarcentric...! They were huge so they must`ve been doing something right..! Take Care Bro` ! Peace Ye`all !!
One thing i always liked about rush is the fact that they sound just as good live as they do on the album, rush doesn't need a recording studio to sound good they just need guitars and a hellavullalot of percussion instruments :)
@MagicPower118 The album itself came out in 1978, so probably close to that. FYI, if you love this, give the whole album Hemispheres a whirl, especially the first song Cygnus (18 minute beast). WOW.
This song really completes the world of music and meaningful lyrics in the age of rock music-Pink floyd is another thought provoking band, Awesome video!
Rush can play in 7/8 time flawlessly, and then switch to 4/4 without the common listener knowing! Example: Subdivisions. Rush has the best Bassist/Keyboardist/Vocalist, Guitarist, and Drummer/Songwriter. Alex's outstanding solos and riffs, Geddy's perfect bass riffs, and Neil's amazing beats! Why the hell aren't these guys in the R&R Hall of Fame?
On one of my other accounts i posted a video of Black sabbaths Into the Void with better sound quality. Somebody watched it and said your an idiot its just louder. I simply replied. "Exactly"
Three LEGENDS !! These guys are the best power trio ever !Fuck the Hall Of Fame crap ! Rush dont need any vindication !! They never fail to blow me away !! Peace Ye`all !!
@hunthell You could forgive the fuck-up on my first reply to your comment - that I had to correct - and get more into Rush up until the point where Niel got rid of the handlebar mustache his long hair and Slingerland drums.
@nkmcfrln I have. I love a ton of stuff Rush put out - not just their old stuff. I've been listening to Rush since I was pretty young and I still love everything they put out.
Try playing Lee's bass lines (and singing) simultaneously, Lifeson's guitar riffs/arpeggios and solos, and finally Peart's syncopated drum rhythms. None of the above is easy to perform.
The "musicians" in many of the so-called bands of today would be completely and utterly out of their depth i.e. bands like say McFly or U2. Rush's complicated awesome music could well be described as being on a "timeless wavelength"!!
But you forgot to mention the fact that when Lee isn't playing the four-string, he's using the Taurus pedals and synthesizers to create the illusion of a four-piece band. And let's not forget the way Alex meshes the six- and twelve-string electrics & the acoustics.
You're are spot on - 100% correct. However, I would say that more recent Rush (last 20 years!) has less "mad" time signatures than used to be the case.
However, when one talks, as you did, about singing and playing simultaneously, I think of BB King. He never manages to both play and sing at the same time.
I'm glad to say that the syncopation is still as good as it ever was.
I love this when I first heard it I thought they would change the world how could anybody fail to be moved by this and closer to the heart, 2112 etc etc

Niel Pert with long hair and a mustache = win

@hunthell 'Niel Pert' with long hair and a 'mustache' does not = win. 'Neil Peart' with a 'Handlebar' mustache = a HUGE win.

@nkmcfrln hello! Thanks for correcting me on my misspelling! How could I ever thank you?
hunthell 1 year ago
@hunthell You could forgive the fuck-up on my first reply to your comment - that I had to correct - and get more into Rush up until the point where Niel got rid of the handlebar mustache his long hair and Slingerland drums.
nkmcfrln 1 year ago
@nkmcfrln I have. I love a ton of stuff Rush put out - not just their old stuff. I've been listening to Rush since I was pretty young and I still love everything they put out.

RIGHT LET'S STOP MESSING ABOUT!!
Try playing Lee's bass lines (and singing) simultaneously, Lifeson's guitar riffs/arpeggios and solos, and finally Peart's syncopated drum rhythms. None of the above is easy to perform.
The "musicians" in many of the so-called bands of today would be completely and utterly out of their depth i.e. bands like say McFly or U2. Rush's complicated awesome music could well be described as being on a "timeless wavelength"!!
Does anyone else agree?

@ecapa0020 already singing and playing an instrument is difficult, I can't imagine playing a complex song as this!

@ecapa0020
I totally agree with you.
But you forgot to mention the fact that when Lee isn't playing the four-string, he's using the Taurus pedals and synthesizers to create the illusion of a four-piece band. And let's not forget the way Alex meshes the six- and twelve-string electrics & the acoustics.
Thought I'd throw that in.

Keith Moon trumps Neil Peart.
but Derek Roddy is better than both (im not a fan of his band, but he is one hell of a drummer)

@ThreadyCash2274 Portnoy and Copeland are right there w/ Peart, Different styles, certainly not the "greatest alive" that's -your- opinion

You're are spot on - 100% correct. However, I would say that more recent Rush (last 20 years!) has less "mad" time signatures than used to be the case.
However, when one talks, as you did, about singing and playing simultaneously, I think of BB King. He never manages to both play and sing at the same time.
I'm glad to say that the syncopation is still as good as it ever was.
