Entre Nous Cover

[efremjosecedillo]

That was just plain SLICK!

[TJH3113]

@efremjosecedillo

Thanks.

[efremjosecedillo]

OMFGOSH! This is fabulous. You guys are the best Rush tribute band I have ever FUCKING heard. I would totally go see you guys play. I tried looking for you guys on Facebook but not luck.

[TJH3113]

@efremjosecedillo

Thanks a lot. Don't be too hard on yourself , but, I'll tell you, even I knew what "Entre Nous" translated to in English. I hope they don't revoke your Canadian citizenship.

We're not a band at all and I don't consider myself a singer but thanks for the compliment.

[ChrisLaxfingerboard]

God, i'm a french canadian and I never realized that he was often saying "just between us", wich means Entre Nous, feeling so stupid right now -.-

by the way, you're the best youtube bassist, and you have a really nice voice :)

Subbed from the very beginning :P

Chris

[chrisbov]

Amazing job, truely inspirational. Best wishes on your recovery.

[TJH3113]

@chrisbov

Thank you very much.

[crinerda]

Just between us... you guys did an amazing job!!

[TJH3113]

@crinerda

Thanks a lot.

[MusicalDuet]

Hey, I finally located it! The video is super cool- Dave and I just checked it out we we think its GREAT! Nice job on the vox, Troy. I'm impressed!

[TJH3113]

@MusicalDuet

Thanks Debbie. It was nice to see you guys at The Falcon - sort of....I guess. haha

[vizeeee]

i am your fan

[TJH3113]

@vizeeee

Thank you.

[WishpoolVocal]

stoping by once again to enjoy this.

[TJH3113]

@WishpoolVocal

Thanks, you're always welcome.

[TJH3113]

@nayjayjee

Thanks for the compliment. Harry really put a lot of work into getting it to sound as close to the original as he could.

[RandomGuyInAHat]

Can you play bass and sing at the same time like Geddy? Oh and by the way nice singing. I didn't think you sung.

[TJH3113]

@RandomGuyInAHat

No, I can't sing and play at the same time. Thanks.

[AiLiakCheez]

it looks like you put a lot of work into this. Great job!

[TJH3113]

@AiLiakCheez

Not me. The other two guys did all the hard work.

[AiLiakCheez]

@TJH3113 well its good that you made an effort to sing :)

[gustavito7]

GREAT!! Very neat, great cover!!! keep this king of work coming! you sing very well :D

[TJH3113]

@gustavito7

Thank you kindly.

[TJH3113]

@jupiterostselo

Thanks. I see the venue is still open for business.

[TJH3113]

@jupiterostselo

Was it a concert you saw or a rehearsal perhaps? The "large barn" made me wonder.

The Permanent Waves tour was the first tour I saw them on.

Thank you very much.

[kinshasaAPP]

Fantastic. Even better with the story behind it.

[TJH3113]

@kinshasaAPP

Thanks a lot.

[FenixiaDuo]

You have always given us great covers. I hope you are doing well in your health as of recent days :)

[TJH3113]

@FenixiaDuo

Thank you.

[xxxx15us]

Wow! This is really good!

[TJH3113]

@xxxx15us

Thanks.

[newton4prez]

Alright, now this is just awesome! The clarity and tightness of your collaboration is probably equal to Rush. What is most surprising is your vocals. Somehow it works! It's like Geddy's without the shrill. Also the guitarist uses a telecaster...with all single coils! Who says telecasters can't rock! WAY TO GO ON THIS ONE!

[TJH3113]

@newton4prez

Thank you very much. Yes, Harry' very pleased with the versatility on his Telecaster.

[TJH3113]

@TJH3113

Thanks.

[orrashk]

youre awsome.

[TJH3113]

@orrashk

Thanks.

[123DTRAY123]

You`re a short haired Geddy Lee.

[TJH3113]

@123DTRAY123

Thanks.

[WelshPhantom]

Stunning.

This is probably the best collab I've seen to date for any band. Your voice really suits this song, waddya mean you can't sing?!

Great audio, great visuals, great performances.

I really don't see how this could be bettered other than Rush doing a youtube vid themeselves!

Now please tell me you can't sing and play at the same time. I can't sing and can't even talk whilst playing LOL

[TJH3113]

@WelshPhantom

Thanks. It's not a "collaboration" in the true sense of the word but that wasn't from lack of trying.

I can barely tap my foot in time and play let alone sing and play simultaneously - serious. On the few occasions I got shanghaid into singing background, I had to essentially be singing along with whatever the bass happened to be doing.

[duilkin]

never imagined singing... you're an artist

[TJH3113]

@duilkin

Me neither...I don't think so.

[Xanadu1115]

I just now found this video. You guys did a great job. I didn't know you could sing like that. Also, your bass tone sounded extra awesome. Did you do anything special? Awesome cover!

[TJH3113]

@Xanadu1115

Thanks a lot. Originally, I recorded it with the Ric but the strings sounded really "poppy" as the neck needed an adjustment (again). So I went down on another day and re-recorded it with the Jazz bass. Harry said that the parts were so well aligned that he used both tracks mixing the Ric with a little more low end and the Jazz bass with a little more highs and mids.

[plectrumthepickypick]

Really enjoy the vocal, I'm not a Rush fan but I enjoy your voice more than Geddy :).

[TJH3113]

@plectrumthepickypick

Thanks, that was nice of you to say.

[MillionthUsername]

And you can sing. Wow. Can you do any of Geddy's really high stuff? Now that would be a treat!

[TJH3113]

@MillionthUsername

Beginner's luck. I can sing a bit higher than this but I'm not a screamer at all.

[jimmyEADG]

great vocals

[TJH3113]

@jimmyEADG

Thanks.

[WishpoolVocal]

Love it. Totally awesome.

[TJH3113]

@WishpoolVocal

Thanks.

[TJH3113]

Respond to this video...

Thanks.

[oOWavezOo]

were the drums a cover or studio??

[TJH3113]

@oOWavezOo

The drums were programmed using EZDrummer by Harry.

[oOWavezOo]

OMG OMG OMG Your Singing is Epic

[TJH3113]

@oOWavezOo

Geez, thanks.

[TJH3113]

@oOWavezOo

Geez, thanks.

[TJH3113]

@oOWavezOo

The drums were programmed using EZDrummer by Harry.

[TJH3113]

[BRYONJOHN]

This is a great piece of work, guys! Very well done! Keep it going!

[TJH3113]

@BRYONJOHN

Thanks.

[floouk]

Marvellous rendition - congratulations to you both.  Also, you do a very passable Geddy vocally. Very impressed, especially as you gave no hint anywhere that you could sing.

[TJH3113]

@floouk

Thank you. Honestly, I had no idea how the vocals would sound before I stepped before the microphone.

[NicholosH]

Hi again, another thought - do you have any of your Rush bass covers you'd care to share as "bass only"* mp3s (or wav/aiff files)? I'd love to use them to jam along to, and as yours are spot on with the original tracks they'd be just perfect. Just a thought!

Nic

* if I wasn't clear, what I mean is just the bass, without the sound of the original track in the background.

[TJH3113]

@NicholosH

I don't have any of my bass tracks isolated as both the music and my bass are recorded with a microphone. But that might be something for me to do in the future...if I could ever figure out how to record my bass direct that is.

[NW7US]

This is one of my most favorite Rush tunes. You nailed it. Great job, all involved. Wonderful. Now sharing.

[TJH3113]

@NW7US

Mine too. Thanks a lot, we appreciate it.

[marcolangoni]

@TJH3113 Great job, man. Awesome voice and bass playing...

[TJH3113]

@marcolangoni

Thanks a lot.

[rushyeskansas]

Troy ... just between us ... this was AWESOME!!!! :)))) love it. Who ever told you in the past you cannot sing ... even if it was your "inner voice" ... THAT WAS WRONG! You sing very good, i am really surprised, that you never tried lead vocals before. Great cover, very well played and also the mix and the video are classy! Kudos to all involved! Richie

[TJH3113]

@rushyeskansas

Thank you very much. As much as I've loved playing music, I never cared for performing in front of people and would never do anything (like singing) that would draw any attention to myself. Thanks again and I'll pass your compliment along to Harry and MIke.

[gffrush]

Ecxellent job Troy. Glad to help on drums for a future proyect. Sonar, Superior Drummer n EZDrummer here.

[TJH3113]

@gffrush

Thanks. Very cool, I'll keep you in mind.

[wyldefan716]

Troy,

you have a fantastic voice!

[TJH3113]

@wyldefan716

Shucks.  Thanks.

[NicholosH]

Awesome job done on one of Rush's less known (and under-rated!) tunes...you nailed it! Oh, and your singing's excellent. Shame you're not in the UK as I'd love to get a Rush jam band together...maybe one day.

Nic

[TJH3113]

@NicholosH

Thanks a lot. I (we) appreciate it. You never know.

[clinehar]

excellent job troy. this was a great way to start the day.

[TJH3113]

@clinehar

Thank you very much.

[TJH3113]

[senn416]

Great job guys! Troy, you sing very well. Do more of it! I enjoyed this very much.

[TJH3113]

[davidrums9]

Hello,

Congratulations =)

Wow Troy ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[TJH3113]

@davidrums9

Thanks David.

[davidrums9]

@TJH3113 I know I'm not very good at the drums but I would like to join you someday =)

[TJH3113]

@davidrums9

I think you're a great drummer. That's why you were the first person I asked. Pick a song.

[igoozok]

Most excellent. Great video mix. Totally impressed and really enjoy your posts!!!!!!!!!

[TJH3113]

@igoozok

Thank you very much.

[LivingInTheLimeligh7]

this is one of your best covers

[TJH3113]

@LivingInTheLimeligh7

Thanks.

[LivingInTheLimeligh7]

@TJH3113 i like the chroma key effect at some shots its cool

[TJH3113]

@movies4u27

Thank you.

[eckie4679]

Gotta be the finest work I've seen on YT! Amazing vocals outshining your bass - didn't think it possible

[TJH3113]

@eckie4679

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

[eckie4679]

@TJH3113 You're very welcome - I've long dreamed of creating something on YT and this is inspiring.

[rm5157]

Best collab I've heard on here...literally! Flawless musically and very well done vocally! I didn't know you had it in ya! Kudos!!!

[TJH3113]

@rm5157

Thank you very much.

[jbooks888]

Super!

[TJH3113]

@jbooks888

Thanks.

[rastadarrin]

Good luck with your health and you are a great bassist and a fine singer!!

[TJH3113]

@rastadarrin

Thanks.

[Gastrok]

Awesome performance, and I pray for your health.

[TJH3113]

@Gastrok

Thank you.

[fcbv]

Amazing job! You're both very talented and the video looks great. I've attempted singing before and the results were not at all pretty, so I'm more than a bit jealous. I hope to make clearer and better sounding recordings of my own bass playing someday. You're an inspiration! I wish you all the best with your health.

[TJH3113]

@fcbv

Thank you very much. You're a fine player yourself and a multi-instrumentalist at that - I'm a one trick pony myself. Keep up the good work and stay in touch. Thanks for the well wishes.

[skorpio2112]

EXCELLENT...!! I really like it..!! greettings from Chile..!!

[TJH3113]

@skorpio2112

Thank you my friend.

[vineyardedge]

Sounds exactly like Rush when it starts...weird!

[TJH3113]

@vineyardedge

It does a bit, doesn't it? Hi Val!

[haleydaily]

Excellent! Well done and what an amazing story behind it. Rock on.

[TJH3113]

@haleydaily

Thank you.

[jhrezende]

[TJH3113]

@jhrezende

Thank you very much my friend.

[pmsbassplayer]

I can't get over how awesome this video is!

[TJH3113]

@pmsbassplayer

Thanks Stephanie.

[pinballsand]

@TJH3113 still laughing my ass off! Bravo!!! Been your RUSH student for the last 6 months,I too am singing and playing , it really adds alot to the mental state trying to do both well. Love that new hairdo, looking more like Alex however. trying to talk my buddies into doing a similar RUSH covers here on U tube. Thanks for the tutorials , I been working on Digital Man and without this video I couldn't have even started. Thanks again for what you do!!!

[TJH3113]

@pinballsand

Thank you very much. I'm not brave enough to try singing and playing at the same time. New hairdo? Keep up your hard work.

[BumDog2112]

Fantastic Collab / Cover!!!!!!!! You guys really hit this out of the park! Congrats on your singing debut Troy.  This makes you a double threat! And Troy, thanks for sharing such personal information with us here in YouTube land. Just another resason to take some inspiration from an already inspirational person. Best wishes.

[TJH3113]

@BumDog2112

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. 

[germatrix]

amazing cover, congratulations! you make me want to get out of the office and run to play my bass

[TJH3113]

@germatrix

Thanks.

[tinman3012]

And if you think that I missed the Lon Chaney Phantom of the Opera bust sitting on the table, you sir are mistaken.

[TJH3113]

@tinman3012

I have a Frankenstein bust as well. They were made by a company called Cinema Secrets and I don't know why they stopped after making those two.

[constantine2112]

Troy, I would first like to start off by wishing you the quickest recovery possible. I'm getting fed up with the word Cancer. It explains how quiet you have been. I'm glad to see you on YouTube again :)

Now, where the heck did you learn to sing so well. You NAILED the song. I also love the different angles of your bass playing. Any angle helps us learn by your playing.

Also a quick shout out to Harry on an outstanding cover of guitar and all the other parts he put together.

Best wishes.

[TJH3113]

@constantine2112

Thank you very much for the well wishes Constantine. It's been a very turbulent few months here.

I just got lucky with the singing stuff and I shot some of the different angles to add a little interest to what otherwise would have been just another boring old video of me sitting in my chair. hah.

And you're right, Harry deserves much of the credit for this. He put a lot of time into it and I think he did a great job.

[BassWhiz92]

Great Job and I'm Glad your OK!

[TJH3113]

@BassWhiz92

Thank you.

[dleblanc343]

[SeaXgasT]

It's a pure pleasure to watch and to listen :) Thanks for great job!

[TJH3113]

Now you gotta come back with this. Lol.

Awesome!

[TJH3113]

@Jalreal

Thanks.

[ChungFat4eva]

incredible, just incredible

[TJH3113]

@ChungFat4eva

Thank you.

[Binderio]

Also, I hope you do more collabs., The Trees? Closer to the Heart? Farewell to Kings?

[TJH3113]

@Binderio

We have a couple more in the works. You don't happen to have the isolated drum tracks for "The Trees" do you?

[Binderio]

Ooooooh yes, Bravo, I really enjoyed this one

[TJH3113]

@Binderio

Thank you.

[placidian]

Beautiful job, guys!  p.s. Best of luck with your health issues.

[TJH3113]

@placidian

Thanks.

[peeves131]

wow, when i was watching your bass covers i never thought that you had such a good singing voice!! Your like the Geddy Lee that never was famous!! (although, you are gaining quite a bit of popularity with rush geeks and bassists alike here on youtube)

[TJH3113]

@peeves131

I had no idea how I'd sound before stepping in front of the microphone. Not that I consider myself a singer by any stretch of the imagination, though it's something I'd always wanted to at least try to do. Thanks.

[21Rushisaband12]

if you need a neil peart idolizing drummer i'm your guy, i just recently bought an interface and mics, and my brother is music major in college and we can make really good drum tracks; id have been happy to do a drum track for you guys..... unfortunately, me and my brother are both back at college and unavailable for any collaborations

[TJH3113]

@21Rushisaband12

Maybe sometime in the future then. Are you going to post some stuff?

[21Rushisaband12]

@TJH3113 i gladly will when i get back home, most likely over thanksgiving i'll see about makin some videos

[salbernardo]

Awesome as usual! Best wishes and thoughts with your treatment and recovery. A positive atttitude is so important to getting better. Keep cranking out the vids.

[TJH3113]

@salbernardo

Thank you very much.

[JVon76]
