Rush Shreds

[Basspwn69]

Man, I wish I could play bass like that.

[shanetheclassic]

The key is to only have the instrument that's showing in the video to be playing...still good but not as funny if you did that

[thines01a]

ROFL!

[MysticPotato68]

Is that Justin Beiber cover of YYZ?

I thought the drums was my 2 year old in the kitchen!

[leeharveyosmosis]

0:40

Mrs. Lifeson get's that every night.

[bucksausage]

Sounds like guitar center

[snipersas]

@bucksausage lmfao so true

[joedalton155]

@bucksausage What is guitar center ?

[yournotjohn]

YEAH! RUSH! And it's still better than Dream Theater.

[jmrzeppelin]

this sounded like my first band when i was 12 haha

[JRCrowley]

LOL fuc yeah funny

[TheMeaning0fLife]

When you can play instruments as well as Rush does, it takes talent to play as uncoordinated as this.

[dylantscott]

Nothing like the dynamic sound of rush

[dontaskmeanything4l]

i love rush. this is hilarious. just two facts.

[indegruv]

It sounds perfect if you're on Heroin

[lefkytheshin]

The sound quality is rough, but still a funny idea.

[stallionplaya52]

I'm no musician so my opinion doesn't really matter, but this was fucking awful.

[FightTheNobles]

@stallionplaya52 >he thinks this is real

[stallionplaya52]

@FightTheNobles I was hoping it wasn't...

[Ignore14]

@stallionplaya52 Watch an actual Rush live video, it will blow your mind.

[Ignore14]

2:33 Fly by Night

[GangstaLink]

@Ignore14 hahaha, you're right!

[mlmr11]

I'm a musician . I love this shit. It brings me back to the days when I was 15 trying to attempt YYZ lol

[chickabuka]

Thats gotta be Justin Bieber on the drums

[dweezy2001]

what the fuck is this .I know some ones fucking with me

[Ignore14]

@dweezy2001 it's the holy triumvirate at their best

[payforfreedom1]

Best way I can describe it is Like Hitting your funny bone... think of hitting your funny bone when listening to it... guaranteed to give you a tight stomach with a blend of noxious feelings

[RiotVan76903]

@snaredrum110 of course you can

[Tumatan44]

A nd thats why Rush is #1 lol

[InnerSpaceTravel1]

@Tumatan44

The thing that amazes me is how effortlessly Peart creates that mind-blowing monkey-banging-cymbals tone in this video.

[TheJake3]

funny stuff.



[dgfitz1]

F'king hilarious!

huge rush fan

[action690]

So weak. Please go home.



[jeng3000]

@action690 chill out dude, it's a joke

[PrettyFreakinWise]

@snaredrum110 Unfortunately, all things must come to an end. I have strived with your stupidity and childish mind long enough. You say you played at the Roxy and such. That's all good and dandy but you obviously didn't make it very far and that could be a bunch of BS as well. Can't believe anything you say, pops. Seems to me like you are nothing but a washed up shell with nothing to show for where you have been. Typical with your type. All talk and has-been wishful thinking. I'm done with you.

[PrettyFreakinWise]

@snaredrum110 Awwwee! Little baby has to resort to insults about one's weight, eh? Well, pappyjack, I would rather be obese in ten years with my happiness and dignity than a loser with an inferiority complex, such as yourself. Seems like I struck a nerve after all, getting the psychology right. You have issues all the way around and probably need to be in a padded cell. When I drop some of that lard, I will send it to you so you have something worthy of being admired...or you can make fries.

[PrettyFreakinWise]

But insulting others won't help your misery and emptiness. Being the brunt of laughter on YT won't help you either. Being a crybaby won't negate your failure as a musician and at life. People like you simply go through this life with little, waiting only to die alone. I bet you lie so much that you actually believe yourself. I never pity anyone but I have made an exception today. My pity is for you, the weak and unprofitable. I honestly feel bad for you, sir. Yet, I can't help but chuckle a bit.

[PrettyFreakinWise]

@snaredrum110 Wow, and just when I thought you couldn't sound any more idiotic and flustered. Peabody's in Cleveland is no coke bar but you wouldn't know that, would you? That video was 3 days before the show, a show with national acts as a matter of fact. Where have you gone? Nowhere and never to be anything but laughed at, just as you are now. I see right through your bullshit. You critisize because you have been nothing but a failure, thus it makes you feel good to rip on others.

[PrettyFreakinWise]

@snaredrum110 And now I fully understand why it is that you don't show your true self. I would be ashamed, embarassed and humiliated too, if I were you. Get your life in order before you critique someone's musical prowess if it is at all possible for you. Tell me, is there anyone in your life who is there by choice? Seems to me that you have much growing up to do. If the age on your profile is true, there is no hope for you. You are nothing but a mentally ill, homeless man begging for change.

[PrettyFreakinWise]

@snaredrum110 Hahaha. If one thing is true, it is that you provide a good laugh. Perhaps you were a court jester in a past life? Do you really get off on making yourself look dumb that much? Your position is laughable, your claims pathetic and you do nothing but make yourself look like an uneducated child...which you are no doubt. A regular Charlie Watts, you are...making claims with nothing to show for it. Nothing. One thing is for sure...They are all laughing at you.

[PrettyFreakinWise]

@snaredrum110 Oh picklepuss, how pathetic can you continue to make yourself look? You are not even on my level intellectually, let alone rudimentally. Everybody else DOES think I play well. It is only YOU who doesn't have a leg to stand on, nor will you, nor have you ever. I have my respect, my fans and my assurance. You base the entirety of my skill on a couple of short clips from many years ago, ones in which I played very solid mind you. So your claim is baseless and invalid from the start.

[PrettyFreakinWise]

@snaredrum110 I will glady agree with you...when you do what I told you to do. Take your foot out of your mouth, tool, and put up. I will glady duel and outplay you...in your own town...in your own house...on your own kit. All you need to do is pay for my ticket there. I'll glady pay for my return home after I humiliate you. Toolbox.

[PrettyFreakinWise]

@snaredrum110 Almost everyone who has come into contact with you agrees that you are an idiot savant without credibility. As for your claim concerning Neil, give us proof of your unique talent. Don't make excuses. Don't give reasons. Get the camera, play and upload. Until the day you actually have the balls to do so, I will make the claim that I can wipe the floor with your noob ass with my nuts tied behind my back. In the music world that seperated the men from the boys, you ain't shit son.

[Siyates747]

it would be harder to imitate this than the original version, hahaha

[gyiol]

no mames se escucha mal

[heretic71186]

god damn. you need to make a living from this. so god damn funny.

[TheBunny602]

fuck you all. suck cock mother fuckers, who ever likes should fuck off and have a bad day

[LeeB9999]

I just shit my pants.

[pwyndam]

Haha! Fucking hilarious! Love these vids.

[shrugo12]

Wow... The amount of people who don't get shred videos...

[billdean123]

Those guys are ALWAYS so on top of their game!!! Every time i see them play stuff like this it makes me want to give up guitar.....

[clickthehungersite]

LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE RAN THE VIDEO AND LEFT THE VOLUME OFF AND PLAYED CRAPPY SO YOUD THINK IT WAS THEM

[mitchconn]

Why don't the Rolling Stones just admit they suck balls and not try to play real music that is much too hard for them to handle?

[bathwhoreE]

Perception is Reality.

[beethovenboy]

They must've still been working out the kinks.

[ozzfann]

u fukin suk tard boy!!!

[CthulhuForCocoaPuffs]

I blame the sound man. Most people don't realize this. But when you can't hear the other instruments in your monitor, this is what happens. If he would have just turned Alex's guitar up a little more in Neil's monitor, things would've been fine. As for Geddy, I don't know what's going on there. He must have been hitting the sauce or something.

[ReyCarmesi97]

damn i love rush, but this is hilarious

[Fluffyfluffyhead]

black flag on audio

[frank5mith]

kinda like the queen video,'bohemian rhapsody' someone fucked up.

[drinkerl3elll]

This is just some shitty ass bar band playing their revolting version of Rush's YYZ. They apparently thought showing the footage of Rush while they played would give the false pretence it was actually Rush. This is fucking horrible.

[Stev02112]

@drinkerl3elll

drink more, then enjoy

[rizzonator18]

wow... I had respect for rush but not anymore..... im glad they got better over the years though

[ac1013dc]

@rizzonator18 uhmm, i hope you're being sarcastic

[sinfoneura]

quien hizo esta broma?

[RiverRaidBanger]

I Really laugh with the drum at 1:27 LOL

[jhohcable]

I think the bass is taking away from the vocals, just go ahead and turn the bass down and turn the vocals up ALRIGHT LET'S DO THIS

[2112rushfanforever]

How I sound on bass... o.O

Anyways, I couldn't stop laughing!!!!

[BlastHardRock]

I'm a HUGE fan of Rush... but this is hilarious! :D

It didn't do any harm to my feelings as a fan of the band :P

[bartlebybartleby]

what musicianship

[thesicilianguitarist]

Hahaha ah man...this is too funny!

[ThirtyMinus]

THIS IS GREAT CAUSE PEOPLE WORSHIP RUSH AND PLAY THIS SONG AT THE SAME TIME

[alecluke844]

it sounds exactly like guns n roses. wierd

[Rawffuls]

I'm masturbating ferociously to this.

[JRod8885]

Beautiful! Stunning! A magnificent performance by a magnificent band!

[TheMagmagoblin]

Nice try.

[MrMojito2691]

Epic drum solo @ 1:26

[commanderjesussaves]

I was at this show, what a magical performance.

[francrod35]

AWESOME GUYS LOL SHIT

[goodygoody23]

They dubbed DragonForce's live cover of YYZ over the video

[icecreammman]

@goodygoody23 so so so so so so true

[gonnagroove]

oh my god my ears

[ProffAndy]

I was at this show when it was filmed. The memory has somewhat faded, but I certainly don't think they sounded as good as this.

[olivetepalmeirinha]

uhuhushushuhsuhsuahuahuhauhauh­auhauhauhuahua hilarious!



[esrb]

1:20 is like sperm going straight down thye floor...

[intr1nzic]

HAHAHAHAAHAH WOW I LOVE THIS SHIT

[VanBrunowz]

1:20 -- EPIC Bass sound

[dmainfla]

These are so great!! When you're in the Monty Python mood, these hit the spot!! :)

[Tracksteve1]

Once again its like a stroll thru the local guitar center. Both are funny and yet suck

[stratovani]

WOW! Just what DID they drink before the show????

[fob199]

Rush would laugh at this XD

[dmainfla]

@fob199 I totally agree! They would! I'm certain you've seen the one where they try to play Tom Sawyer on Guitar Hero. Hilarious!

[rorshakks]

Worst videos ever. Douches to the fullest.

[passion4drums]

@rorshakks no sense of humor?

[somedude140]

@AnimalKindaStuff i think thats the whole point of these shreds.

[Zdrummer45]

When its not synched up, it isn't really funny. Best when the crappy music lines up with them playing

[alasdairr00]

ahaha XD this is brilliant this made me laugh so much and i reckon rush would love this

[jimmymuppet]

Lmao. It sounds like someone slipped LSD in their punch before the show

[BassickIdea]

idk who they are but they suck and idk y they have such a big crowd

[Ignore14]

@BassickIdea please read the highest rated comment.

[BassickIdea]

@Ignore14 idk wat ur talking about

[Ignore14]

@BassickIdea these videos are fake and for entertainment purposes only.

[BassickIdea]

@Ignore14 no

[Ignore14]

@BassickIdea yes... just watch some more shred videos you'll see

[Mirokuofnite]

I wonder if like in 100 years or so someone will think this is really how Rush sounded.

[joeshcosmo]

stop tell people it's fake. It's funnier when they can't figure it out.

[thiagoassis82]

sounds like my first band, it was called "paçaru fididu" (stinky bird) lol

[felipefranciosi]

HAHAHAHA FUCKING AWESOME

[santanaincubus]

sounds like when I was a newbie trying to get the feel of the guitar

[bozo47p]

YA KNOW... with the proper bong hits and a case of shlitz ...this could work...my nipples are hard...lol

[megachrispercent]

And here I thought Rush was a class act who didn't lip-sync like so many pop singers out these days!...Or should I say instrument-sync, in this case...

[Ignore14]

@megachrispercent yah i konw they rly suck i wwy do ppl think there good!!??1

[Ignore14]

so this is an accurate representation of what a band sounds like at first rehearsal....

[dankf08]

kiefer sutherland rocks hard on guitar.

[wonkeaux]

what people don't realise is they wrote this when they were 5 years old! they still play it for old time's sake sometimes. usually towards the end of a tour.

[happyface4444]

the only thing worse than this is any free jazz song

[verveshawn]

FUCKIN' HELL!!!.....i'm loosing my shit!! AHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[maurokultrum]

como tocan estos dioses!!!!!

[pbrdestroyer]

I'm teaching myself to play YYZ on the drums and this video has been a tremendous learning tool!

[eckie4679]

These vids weren't even funny the first time!

[jalenguita]

jajajajajajajajaa la mierda q tokn feo loco jajajaja

[Nickdiaublow]

Try to clap to the beat, seriously you have a better chance actully playing this

[goerge4]

exactly like on the album...this performance of Rush transports us into a real of endless dreaming.. i wish i would have been there in concert to witness this..

oh..i was..but i drank too much and accidently kicked the dude sitting behind me in the audience..

[trapedrushcover]

the EVH one is the best

[verkpunk]

none of these is as good as the Kings of Leon one

[ruush2112]

ROFLMAO when guitarist starts to play fly by night.

[strontiumdog9]

...hahahahahahaha...

[kacres1]

Dude! This is funny as shit! I love the overdub - you guys actually got pretty close to synchin it up!! Awesome!! ,,and I am a die hard Rush fan!! Fuckin hilarious- have anymore like this?

[mcski022]

Guys..theyre just sick...hahaha

[klepetar]

dead on /. not a note wrong..perfect performance 10/10

(get the drift)

[ClipTheAmputechture]

Anyone who thinks this is actually them playng is super retarded.

Thank you.

[pbonney]

@ClipTheAmputechture I think the playing is also super retarded. Funny though.

[grandpatarzan]

@ClipTheAmputechture are you familiar with the term "troll"?

[goodmaro]

@ClipTheAmputechture I'm sure that's them actually playing. They're just isolated bits taken out of their context and strung together regardless.

[Mootime7]

why does everyone say rush is a good band or classic or w/e this was kinda crapy...u can tell music has come along way cuz now we have justin beiber and back then the classics was this band.......................

[Ignore14]

@Mootime7 watch the actual performance. or maybe you just trollin'

[dick91p]

How do you spell YYZ?

[SubaUba]

@dick91p "why why Z" :D

[dick91p]

@SubaUba That's what I thought! Thanks a lot!

[TSlMFAUKIS]

lol my freind told me rush are virtuoso band and better than mettalica XD this is so bad wtf

[IntoEternityFtw]

@TSlMFAUKIS Rush is better than Metallica

[daddysevenpointfiver]

@TSlMFAUKIS yeah dude just listen they suck (lol)

[streeTkiDwannaBe]

@daddysevenpointfiver @TSIMFAUKIS What? You never heard of St. Sanders? The guy who dubs and adds terrible audience claps to mock rock guitarists for fun? He does it for the metallica shreds video too.

[Ignore14]

@TSlMFAUKIS lol tsimfuckis is a fucken bird

[toot1231]

This is a subliminal message showing us what they sounded like before Neil Peart :P

[kouriichi]

Its like an eyesore for the ears.

But in a good way.

[MrWallyDanger]

This is way better than the actual song

[Kebzicum]

NOW I KNOW TOM SAWYER WAS RETARDED

[vito321321]

john cage playing rush, nice!

[Jjjohn0404]

I need this MP3 right now XD

[isfahani]

Black Flag!

[dion1959]

Never heard of Rush.

[fuckinamanshit]

@dion1959 Never heard of Rush? This is blasphemy!!!!@#&% Culture yourself young one.

[derbi75]

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

[opwdd]

man that sounds just like Black Flag

[sylvesterlowery]

Laughed so hard, my sides are hurting!

[RollTheFemers]

@theawakener7 The actual song, or this interpretation? xD

[mrmattownage]

lol the drums lol

[braincrisp1]

This is how RUSH sounds after a night of drinking and playing all hung over.

[guitari666]

its called free jazz



[bearmare]

Wow. This makes me feel much better about the first time I played YYZ.

[FERNANDO9797]

Jajajajajajjaajajaj muy bueno! very good! jaja

[BINGBONG2786]

what's sad, is that you can actually hear in some parts that the bass player who did this, is really legit.

[Ignore14]

@BINGBONG2786 lol no.

[simasuma]

Wow. This overdub band is badass. I would got to see them play a whole show of deconstructed songs.

[rolandonioninator]

@simasuma I would totally agree...this is a riot

[n3rdyr0cker]

best shreds video yet

[ninjagrowguy]

so annoying.......

[lorneould]

Shreds are much more funny when they sync up, Creed, Eddie van halen, etc.

[Haloman777]

i had no idea Forrest Gump could drum

[isatemple]

Best production value, ever.
