[originalbitches]

These visuals are hilarious. I love you.

[jenmurphable]

Dig the visuals.

[MrPineapplePrince]

Like this if Ernest Cline sent you here. =)

[trenken]

@MrPineapplePrince Rush's greatness lured me here. Who the fuck is Ernest Cline?

[MrPineapplePrince]

@trenken Ernest Cline is an American novelist who commended Rush's greatness by writing a book in which a billionaire made a contest to give his money to whoever cleared all the challenges first. One of them was realizing an obscure Rush reference to this song. The book is Ready Player One.

[TheEldarTree]

SEEEEEARINKS

[2915403]

I spent 1 minute of the song needing to go to the bathroom but not because i didnt want to leave the song

[FeralLad]

The Priests Of Syrinx have already made a pre-emtive strike on guitars today @ the Gibson plant.. Scary how this album is coming true right before our eyes...

[MegaDrummerchic]

[gzad09]

In the year 2112, Rush will be reincarnated and rule the world!

[Psdisturbed1]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...etc

[itsfunny1234]

18 people are not the priest of the temple of syrinx.

[HomeMadeVinyl]

haha omg, this is like my all time favorite song, and this vid is soo funny

[firelegendmushroom]

"And the meek shall inherit the earth" is part of part I.

[wideheadofknowledge]

@firelegendmushroom Oh no! Did you call the police? Or anyone who gives a fuck?

[firelegendmushroom]

@wideheadofknowledge Why are you so mad?

[wideheadofknowledge]

@firelegendmushroom I have issues with pedantry.

[firelegendmushroom]

@wideheadofknowledge I don't see why it should bother you so much. If anything, you telling me off for it proves that you're just as ostentatious as I am.

[gelf315]

At 0:28 -- I didn't know Salad Fingers was in any Rush videos!!

[InWithQuinn]

Ha ha ha!

Silly Razor06!

That's not what "Hallowed" Means!

[matthewb2015]

Nice work, Razor06 !!

[XifyouhavetoaskX]

1:03 Akbar is trying to tell us that the priest are very totaletarion and deny people thier rights as humans and prevent them from individual thought. But the only thing that came out was "ITS A TRAP"

[lewis9091]

anyone else think this song is way too short

[narutohood]

@lewis9091 Because it doesn't have the overture intro lol.

[lewis9091]

[IamXeden]

UP THE IRONS FROM USA



[ShmittyPoofzzTV]

120k views and the video descript was - ...I was bored.

[lakeladymel]

"I was bored" ??? That's the best boredom ever !! Cool video. I was given this album at 15. Haven't been the same since !!! "what a nice contented world" ???

[coolbo7963]

good job!

[SkyAce200]

Welcome to Syrinx. XDXDXD That was funny. Great work to be bored while making this.

[braincrisp1]

Love how the "gifts of life" include Wiis and machine guns. Too funny!

[fearsomesnow]

Read the book The Giver. There is a lot of relationships between this song and that book.

[gratefuldank]

@fearsomesnow the giver



[Jeorney]

(cont 2) ... this? Perhaps the preists thought with advent of rock music, that it brought about the decine of mankind. So they weren't anti music, just pro spirtual music and anti rock music. The only thing against this is churches and halls of technology is not spiritual or anything to do with a church. Government, perhaps, but it has little to with pan pipes or music. Any other interpretations?

Any other interpretations?

[Jeorney]

Syrinx is a reed pan pipe created from the chaste nymph, Syrinx, while hiding from Pan's erotic passion. These pipes are one of the most ancient musical intruments. Its odd that the "temple of syrinx" is a technocratic anti-music institution. The video interpreted the temple as a church; is this because the pipe organ is a kind of advanced pan pipe? Syrinx is all about music which is kind of odd. What was the red star in the song - Communism? Zionism? Any other interpretations to build upon

[TheRiffCalendar]

Thought i'd just tell everyone that i will post a guitar lesson on this song at Sunday

[ilke10]

awesome! + This helped me a lot learning the guitar cover!

[Honorhillshad]

This is the best video i've ever seen i love you @razor06

[xITZxUTUBEx]

love it

[Caitliano101]

fa la al la la la LA! Fa la la la la la LA!

lol i love this song and this video

[lemage2]

Lol. this clip made me giggle :D great song too ;D

[fox199tp]

I LOVE THE DRUMMER

[MultiShooter123]

I swear this song is fucking BEAST

[Shentain14]

is it actually "Our great computers, fill the hallowed halls"? coz to me it doesnt really sound like that :S

[ael196999]

Great editing job on the video!

[TerriHogan1]

Was trying to find this song but cant find the full version.... :(

[TOSportsFan1990]

@TerriHogan1 Buy the 2112 CD, you get the entire song, no questions asked, plus 5 other great songs

[spoojing]

favorite song on GHWOR

[FallenWings28]

@spoojing FUCK OFF NEWFAG

[IceCreamBender]

you where bored and you made a video that got more then 100K views, this proves anything is possible for anyone.

[MrKermit09]

in my opinion, this is definetly Geddy Lee's greatest vocal performance!!!!

[HANGCORE]

This song is really magnificent. It presents how we can be lead to believe that our enslavement in actually a good thing. I mean this song presents us with the same thoughts of communist and socialist ideologies. They are here to enslave our minds but it's in a way that makes us think what they're doing is just or righteous But this could be applied to all forms of authority or ideologies that are like this.

Rush is amazing especially lyrically.

By the way try giving the fountainhead a read :)

[MrFITHsleezy]

those are the most hallowed halls i've seen yet

[jimmyboy131]

Their great computers need to be updated. Then they won't fill their hallowed halls, but rather their hallowed robe pockets.

[Je44567]

@jimmyboy131

Not really, phones are just smaller client computers. There are still datacenters everywhere that hold all the data that you read/see/hear/ on your phone. In fact it is seems even more appropriate in regards to the song/book anthem.

Also the referenced priests seem more like politicians today.

[gpelaez]

If anyone has read the book of Ayn Rand called "Anthem", well there is a great reference to what's described there.

[bogbaby1]

vis gives me goose bumps

[eldiablo367]

playing all 7 parts of 2112 on guitar hero does wear you out never heard of rush before guitar now i think their excellent

[barnabyjones786]

@eldiablo367 Playing all 7 parts on real guitar wears you out more

[eldiablo367]

playing all 7 parts of 2112 on guitar hero does wear you out

[bassgroove21]

Fa la la la la la la la LA!

[thatOtherDude100]

from now on I'm going to yell FA la la la La la La la ... LA! \m/ everytime I listen to this song

[racer14155]

I love Rush and this song and thanks for the lyrics man your awsome=)

[SoalHarvester03]

12 people from the temple of syrinx disliked this vidio they will be the people who will fuck us over in 2112 :P

[johngreen0711]

Epic vid. Probably one of the best homemade vids I've seen on here. Cheers.

[DrEarl000]

kick ass song!

[amazingbella23]

This is a great song but your missing the intro...The intro makes the song a billion times better...I'm just sayin...

[10gold13rush92]

Now I can't listen to this song without thinking about Admiral Ackbar. Still great though.

[headshotpoductions]

*Vomits pure joy

[BigAl162]

me and my friend are huge rush fans, and when they played this at Joe Louis Arena on the snakes and arrows tour we were both singing along: Fa la la la la la la LA! Fa la la la la la la LA!

[Razor06]

@BigAl162 4 years and 474 comments later and yours is the first I'm going to reply to: That is literally fucking awesome.

[lola9343]

@BigAl162 shoulda heard it 30 years ago in my friend's basement....

[4162395910]

the video is. . .

i want to say bad, but i couldn't stop laughing because at the same time its hilarious. great song, and great vid!

[Nukeman33]

This is just as metal as anything Iron Maiden has put out.

[Nukeman33]

This is just as metal as anything Iron Metal as put out.

[MsDarkGrey]

Hahaha, I laughed from the "Priests". Anyway, a song kinda different from the things we are acostumed to listen from Rush, don't you think? This is more... heavy rock than prog rock. XD' Anyway, the video is really funny, but you could improve in putting more verses in a same frame... it's easier to read. XD'

[merryinsantaty]

This is adorable.

[willyXIII]

Who needs Free Bird when you have 2112

[ilke10]

@willyXIII No one i guess...

[DiscoDucky960]

@willyXIII Shutup man. Free Birds solo is longer that this song.

Free bird is sick, And So is This song. both are incredible.

[ThePass1967]

@willyXIII freewhat?...rush has no equals bro.,...

[fievel2680]

hehe, cool stickman vid!

[coralbay00]

very interesting lyrics. are they trying to put a message across. bearing in mind that this was made in the 70's. hmmmmm. 

[rabbitnosekid]

@coralbay00 the story of the song is that all the planets of the world are ruled by the solar federation and the priests of the temples of syrinx control everything...music, writing, what you can say, etc...there may be a hidden message about collectivism, since it was pretty strong in the 70's

[Brickdump]

nice dude that was really funny

[mikatile]

i love the "look how hallowed it is!" comment, that made me laugh out loud, lol ;)

[wigginbean]

get bored more often, brother! great stuff!!

[llmmu88]

Me Likey!!



[jawkjaw]

This is funny as hell! lol

[RushRulesAll]

nice

[Music4life495]

The red star is the symbol of the fictional omnipresent and oppresive government that is led by the Priest of Syrinx. This government and one special citizen are the main focus of the whole 2112 overture.

Thus, Rush continues to maintain their badassery throughout the ages.

[lola9343]

@Music4life495 That was a badass analysis. Come over to my house and get high with me.

[thegreatkramairghus]

@lola9343, the red star i'm sure is either russia or china. symbolizing communism.

[lola9343]

red star = ?

[Albinoguinea]

@lola9343 what do you mean red star = ?

[lola9343]

@Albinoguinea what does Rush mean by the red star? I don't know what he's talking about.

[9guitarkid4]

@lola9343 the red star and starman are a recurring theme in 2112

[DarthOushana]

"and the meek shall inherit the earth is from overture"

[thisiswack987]

Ooh I realy wish this song was longer so I didn't have to put it on repeat.... Haha <3 it

[MultiShooter123]

[SwollenGlandz]

[Blackfhyre]

[TheSethBoom]

This song is part of a complication of many songs on rush's 2112 album that tell a story

[Andres10180]
