  • WE HAVE ASSUMED CONTROL!!

  • beeeeeeep beeeeeep!!!!!!!!!

  • Geddy's vocals superb on the opening--the anguish of worlds..

  • tom sawyer?????????????

  • great song love it

  • hey smexybiyatch thanks for the posts. I loved it.

  • Incredible!!!

  • :3

  • I am curious... what would it sound like if rush ever did a collaboration with trent reznor? two very different artists, but very similar at the same time. I would love to see reznor embrace his nerdy prog side lol

  • Thanks smexybiatch. This totally rocks. i love it;.

  • Speaking as to an over-the-top musical creativity I'd say The Beatles Sgt. Pepper album was a breakout, Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced" was a breakout, Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" was a breakout, RUSH's 2112 was a complete breakout!

  • Something that made the 70's so damned enjoyable was the musical breakthroughs we experienced on a regular basis. There was nothing like 2112 before it's release. The science fiction story line told in highly progressive, hard rock, space rock, rock opera style made for an incredible concept album.

  • 1:50 DAMN THE GODS FOR BANNING MUSIC!!!!!!!!! It caused a suicide

  • Fuck Charlie Sheen. THIS is winning.

  • Rush rocks!!! Will always rock. And people that don't get Rush are just lame and shallow.

  • Hey!

    Listen!

    Hey!

    Listen!

    Hey! Hey!

  • @StalinWalrus shut up Navi i dont want to talk to Saira!

  • I'm seeing in 16 hours and counting down!

  • TYVM 4 POSTING THIS SMEXY!!!!!! I HAVE SEEN THEM 9 TIMES

    

  • @JonnyMr3330 indeed they do, or did anyway! suck big fat donkey dick! :D

  • man best fuckin part of 2112 goddamn rush please stop aging we need you forever!!!! the real rock gods the real mother fuckers that have been in itfor the music the whole time. very few can say that. WE LOVE YOU RUSH ROCK THE FUCK ONNNN!@!!!!

  • Neils lyrics sung by Geddy's intensity with Alex's emotional guitar playing.

    Magic.

  • Comment removed

  • @raiderdline61 shut up.

  • i heard this song from guitar hero and i love it... the whole thing is just 20 minutes of pure awesomness

  • i dont get why anyone would hate on Guitar Hero for having 2112 on it. That is a good thing, idiots, not a bad thing. On the other hand, people who have heard of Rush only on Guitar Hero, act like they know the band, and act like REAL guitar heroes...that is a different story.

  • that's an amazing sound comming from just three guys!

  • my favorite part...

  • @337camo Hard to call any part a favorite, but I can see your point!

    This part brings more of their musical greatness (playing) to the table. The rest of the song is more of a blend of the great playing, great writting, and blending it all into a story that you listen to over and over.

  • @67BuickGS340 Yea i agree...i wouldnt say its my favorite but it is the part i always end up listening to the most.

  • Who hear university sertanejo??? A brazilian shit music whith yours idols ...Luan Santana , vitor e leo, etc... My heart pain whith the brasilian sertanejo universitario music...thanks for rush 2112....marcos

  • Fuck yeah!!!!!!!!

  • i just cremed my self

  • The entire side A was based upon the short story. "Anthem" by Ayn Rand so sad that her vision of the future has come true. Even sadder read her novel Atlas shrugged, you will know where our global society is headed.

  • Dear youtube programmers, this song has a dislike button. Please fix this.

  • The best Rush album of all time! Hell, yeah!!

  • BEST VOICE OUT THERE RAW POWER

    WE HAVE ASSUMED CONTROL WE HAVE ASSUMED CONTROL!!!!

  • 0:30 - 0:50 godly voice!

  • epic

  • Thumbs up who is high right now

  • @Hughesy16LFC High on life! Everytime I drive 100mph through tight trails on my snowmobile for a few hours I get higher than smoking chunks of top shelf hashish. Of coarse I slow down for corners.

  • @kertbert1 Sounds awesome man

  • @Hughesy16LFC I never use drugs or alcohol and this was my favorite band for like 15 years of my life. Hows that for your stereotype?

  • @Porojukaha Erm not good i guess lol. I assure you it is ten times better whilst under the influence of mary jane though, but im not gunna tell you how to live your life.

  • WHAT A RUSH!!!!

  • This is the best that ever existed in the history of the Planets of the Solar Federation... ever.

  • this song might make a good sci-fi movie? lol

  • THE BEST WHEN I WAS 15 AND STILL THE BEST AT 44

  • Goddamn, the first two minutes of this clip are the best two minutes there'll ever be.

  • And to think this is how they responded to their record company told them to write a radio friendly single.....ha.....ha.....haha

  • i never met anyone who acted cool because of being good at guitar hero

  • We Have Assumed Control Bitches.!

  • "They granted us the gift of life, the gift of music."

    "Yes, we know. It's just a waste of time."

    "They left our planets long ago. Now we need to give the planets back."

    "Your toy destroyed the will of man. GIve up. It doesn't fit the plan."

    "Just think of how our lives might be in a world like I have seen."

    "Attention all planets of the Solar federation. We have assumed control."

    2112 in 500 words or less, LOL. Love this long song.

  • for a second i though i heard Communication Breakdown in the middle of the song.

  • Attention all planets of the Solar Federation - I have Jizzed my pants!

  • @LegionOf3 lmao at your jiz comment

  • Rush has go to be the the most talented band alive

  • @bobmcbill100 dont you mean of all time?

  • @bobmcbill100 yeah i saw them is concert is was mind blowing!!!!

  • Someone needs to call Peter Jackson and tell him to make a movie outta this!! what an awesome story......

  • I think it's great that I used to take this song seriously. I also think it's great that they called it the solar federation, that they couldn't think up any other name than the one from star trek. Needs some cowbell and more laser sounds, though.

  • your bong has taken complete control of you. i dont think i can carry on this cold and empty life. my spirits are low in the depths of

    despare.

  • The robots assuming control probably know what's best for us, anyway. Might as well go back to sleep for now. I'm sure eveything will be fine. Won't it?

  • We have assumed control...

  • This takes me to a very good place in my soul: free and noble.

    Lots of flashbacks to my teen years.

    In fact, I still have Moving Pictures in cassette...gonna play it now.

  • @smexybiyatch , I've had most Guitar Hero games, since number 1 on the ps2 :') I miss that, that was the reason I started to learn guitar :)

  • @FIFAStreet234 What about the kids that get real guitars for free and work a hundredth of the effort real guitar players have, just because they're good at a video game? you know who I'm talking about

  • whens the movie coming out

  • Rush 2112. Nothing special. You know, it's just one of the top 500 albums everybody should own or listen to in their life, as stated by Rolling Stone Magazine. Not like that's anything special, right? :)

  • @Rokstarr723 top 10 albums

  • @ricjames1970

    I couldn't remember where it was at. I just know it was in the top hundred or so

  • Rush - 2112

  • i have to say i completely forgot about rush until i purchased warriors of rock and listened to 2112. its fukin insane :)

  • FANTASTIC !!!!!!! Thanx for posting :o)

  • Rush and Free Market Capitalism, like peanut butter and jelly. Two of my favorite things all melded together.

    We have assumed control!

  • the end of this song "attention all planets of the solar federation.."" is fucking epic!! most chilling ending ever!!

  • .................THAT WAS FUCKIN AWESOME

  • Comment removed

  • Sorry, but it's not as good as Thick as a Brick. Rush is pretty awesome, but this just can't touch Tull.

  • @burnsmybacon Fuck Tull and Fuck You... There, I feel better.

  • @stilmrcanuck I'm glad you've had a cathartic experience, so now you can sleep better tonight. Then you can wake up nice and early tomorrow, watch Thick as a Brick in it's entirety, and then head off to your menial job screwing caps on pens or whatever it is you do and sulk about being wrong.

  • @burnsmybacon Seen Tull 3 times and Rush 6 times. Beats screwing caps on pens. :-)

    Still. Fuck Tull. While I am at it, fuck Bieber or whatever the fuck its name is.

    NOW, I feel better.

  • @stilmrcanuck Your mother should wash your foul mouth out with soap. Then again, you were probably raised in a household full of trolls, because that is all you are.

  • @burnsmybacon Aww, now that just burns my bacon, ya all.

    Fuck Tull.

  • The vocals after 0:28 are some of the best I've ever heard!

  • thank you so much for posting this...if you don't like the music, don't look it up.

  • I CAN PLAY THIS WHOLE SONG ON BASS.....IT'S SUCH AN AMAZING SONG!

  • Great ending, but I gotta say part 1 was my favorite

  • @heroclixman1 this isn't the end theres still 4 other parts

  • @LuigieatsBabies no this is it, all 7 parts of 2112 were split into three videos then uploaded, part 1 in the video trilogy has parts I and II of 2112, Overture and temples of syrinx, part 2 of the videos is parts III, IV and V, Discovery, Presentation and Oracle: The Dream, and this video, part 3, has parts VI and VII, soliloquy and Grand Finale

  • @LuigieatsBabies It is divided normally into 7 parts, yes. But I was talking about the series of videos this guy uploaded

  • The person that hit the dislike button Doesn't think he can carry on

    Carry on this cold and empty life.

    OH NO!!!.............

  • the solar federation wont assume control while i breath

  • @Zerkcyes And my axe!

  • I haven't heard this in years, thanks for posting.

  • who is this solar federation cocksmoker anyway? fuck that bitch ass non rock n roll diggin ho. fuckin punk-ass. sheeeeeeeeee-it.

  • RUSH 6th may in sweden, FUCK YES! This will be awesome!

  • @XyL0Ph0n3

    fuck yeah man!!

  • You are so the frigging man for taking the time to post this! My thnx to you! You should have a small, yet significant worship hour set aside for you.

  • omg this is sooo great, love the guitar hero, but the real thing is f-ing awesome! so amazing, my husband can re-enact this entire song, air guiatar and lyrics. we LOVE RUSH!!!! Thank you sooo much to whoever put this on youtube! You rock!

  • i thought 2112 had 5 parts

  • @sephiroth861 I think that it technically has seven parts but the poster had to arbitrarily cut the song into three parts because of the youtube time limitations.

  • pretty sure the PIMPJUICE moniker is deserved for this whole effing legendary work

  • i just listened to all three of these videos in a row, I love it ;)

  • Attention all planets of the Solar Federation: We have assumed control. - That part blew me away!! lmfao

  • As soon as I heard most of 2112 was going to be on Warriors of Rock I had to have it! Now if they would just release a Pink Floyd game my life would be complete!!!!

  • Lyrics in this song are simply genius.

  • Fascism, an ideology with a half -life of a decade correlated with Nazi Germany. Fascism did not start and end with the Gestapo. andymci wake up.

  • to Maneklridus how can i argue with an idiot who cant even spell, and if im wrong whats with all the demos and discussions over g.h. on the very website your on today. I dont see any other games gather such widespread attention. Maneklridus you need 3 things, a beating, a visit to wikipedia and a dictionary.

  • @MrMilkandapples

    Oh, please. I'm not a great fan of angry internet yelling rampages, but when I see hypocrisy, I have to jump in. There isn't a single apostrophe in your comment, an no capital letters apart from in Maneklridus's name. I wouldn't care normally (I understand people have better things to do than perfect their grammar on the internet), but if you're going to insult him, at least spellcheck what you write.

    Also, GH taught me to play the real drumkit. Well. Get over yourself.

  • @andymci2 i hate to keep posting comments on this video but i hate it when people act like there all cool when they play guitar hero. the drums are more realistic than the guitar.

  • @MRec1124

    Doesn't make the guitar any less fun though, does it? I know playing Guitar Hero isn't cool, but let's face it, neither is guitar unless you're in a band. If you just play it on your own for the sake of it you're cliched and basically wasting your time. The amount of people I know who took up real guitar as an instrument because they wanted to look cool... At least no one ever played GH to try and become popular.

  • @andymci2 "If you just play it on your own for the sake of it you're cliched and basically wasting your time." Really? I think that's a load of bullshit. People that learn to play guitar to be in a band are cliched, the people that play because they enjoy it aren't wasting their time. They play because it relaxes them, or it challenges them, or maybe it's just a hobby, but they play for their own reasons, not to be cool, like those people that set out to play so they can be in a band.

  • @andymci2 And people who play for their own reasons might get really good on their own, and end up with an amazing band. So all the people you know that took up guitar decided to play so they would look cool, well you're hanging out with losers. My brother learned to play because he legitimately liked it, and he's more talented than any other guitarist I've seen. It's a waste of time as much as reading's a waste of time.

  • @andymci2 ALSO, Alex Lifeson didn't play so he could be in a band, he played to escape from some real bullshit. And look at him now, one of the most amazing guitarists ever, in my opinion.

  • @foreverbells You're right, yeah. I didn't really think through how many people I would offend by not wording what I wrote properly. Damn the internet. My point was just that, in a lot of cases, playing Guitar Hero because it's fun is no less valid than playing guitar to look cool, although that is not what happens in all cases, just in a few. Sorry for wasting your time with that big rant :p.

  • @andymci2 Playing Guitar Hero because it's fun is totally different than playing guitar to look cool. Playing to look cool is all about attention, playing Guitar Hero for fun is not for other people's benifit.

  • @foreverbells umm he started playing because he had a good report card and he asked his mom to get him one when he was a kid...Geddy started playing guitar after his dad died and his Bar Mitzvah so he is the one who wanted to escape some bullshit just saying lol

  • @MRec1124

    Sorry, in the first line, by guitar I meant "Guitar Hero guitar". Because that's effortlessly fun :).

  • @MRec1124 i no this comment in particular is 4 weeks old, but GH Drums are nothing compared to real drums. im not a real drummer, i messed around with a set actully just this past weekend. its way diferent. the pedal for the high hat, different sounds on percossions/snare/cymbols. however the bass pedal is very close.

  • 1 person found a plastic guitar with only 5 collored buttons

  • jesus why is everybody so against guitar hero! its just a game for gods sake! and it is actually pretty fun so all you idiots can stop saying its shit and gay because it is just a fucking game!!!!!! most people who play it play it for fun not because they can't be bothered they can't be bothered to play a real guitar. ITS A GAME!!!

  • i love their music, but they're all libertarian. which sort of spoils it for me, but hey, they drop some ill melodies.

  • these classic recordings add to the authenticity of the product. I am extremely grateful that fascist guitar hero fags will likely never discover these recordings 'cause there too busy trying to convince themselves that their plastic guitar is a viable instrument. i have been playing guitar and other instruments for over fifteen years and even i cant perform such musical accomplishments as these guys have @Mrec1124 and you other insecure bastards seeking attention through a game, ur fulla shit

  • @MrMilkandapples im against guitar hero

  • @MrMilkandapples What's facist about a videogame? Have you ever actually met anyone who tried to convince you that a game controller was a real insturment? Do you honestly think /anyone/ aside from those asshats who enjoy showing off on expert actually cares about the games? If anyone here's full of shit sir, it's you.

    Consider looking into suicide -- if you need to find me afterwards to haunt, just look for the guy laughing at your funeral. Shouldn't be hard to find.

  • @MrMilkandapples I just read your original comment as well. I'm a fascist? Sorry, I was unaware pressing some multicoloured buttons rhythmically transported me instantly back to the 30s. I was so full of love for the Dear Leader before Guitar Hero came along and converted my ideology eternally to the far-right. Shut up. No one cares.

    Stop seeking attention through an instrument. Again, no one cares you've played guitar 15 years. Shall I list all my achievements? No, cause NO ONE CARES.

  • guitar hero=lamo delux

  • Im kind of confused with what happens at the end how the "solar federation has assumed control"... What is this supposed to mean?

  • @ricky1234321

    WHAT I MEANT TO SAY: how it is announced to the solar federation, that they have assumed control... I dont understand what it means

  • @ricky1234321 it says: attention all planets of the solar federation: we have assumed control. and my guess is that some race of extra-terrestrials with respect for beauty perhaps like the protoss from starcraft saw the beuracracy Earth had become and were disgusted and overthrew the temple of syrinx and any other flase govenrments holding the planet in shackles to return it to it's more free (if not chaotic) stae with a few tweaks I'm sure.

  • Guitar is a hobby, guitar hero is a hobby, they both take skill and attention to rythm, they both need practice and you can record music with both. its just an electronic (simplified) guitar, its very similar to comparing a keyboard to a piano

  • @dotkill01 hahah

  • "Attention all planets of the Solar Federation, we have assumed control."

  • I love Rush

  • Wow, thanks for putting this up! I haven't listened to this in its entirety in many years. Now I remember why this was my favorite album way back in 1982 :-)

  • Wow, thanks for putting this up! I haven't listened to this in its entirety in many years. Now I remember why this was my favorite album way back in 1982 :-)

  • RUSH --- "2112"

  • The "breaks" could have been planned out better. Other than that, having the whole song online is a good thing

  • HOLY $&#! I LOVE THIS SONG

  • Just think of what my life might be,In a world like I have seen!

    I don't think I can carry on, carry on this cold and empty life...

    every time i hear geddy scream that i get goosebumps, because hes actually talking about how caress of steel was rejected and they felt like it was over for them as a band. you can hear the passion in his voice too. such a legendary band

  • so I've finally figured out why I don't like this song. It's taht they're trying to tell a story, and the parts where they actually sing are great. But its the 15 minutes of filler that kills me, the long drawn out guitar solos that start to repeat....Cut those out and add a couple of more verses and it would be great.

  • @bobthecrushr well the underlying meaning of the song is how the bands' previous album before 2112, caress of steel, was pretty much rejected by fans and critics alike ( i dont know why, its an amazing album) so they thought it was the end and decided to go out with a bang. but this album is what bought them their musical freedom from the record company (lucky for us, eh?)

  • oh parte 3!

  • Damn this Song ROCKS *flails arms wildly*

  • when the world ends in 2012 if theres a last request i would say put on a rush album !!!

  • This song is a masterpiece

  • Attention All Planets of the Solar Federation...We Have Assumed Control!!!

  • Some of the most sensitive, anguished, expressive guitar solos ever played. This album is so fucking cool. I always connected it with Ayn Rand, but only today I actuallly looked it up and found that the band openly acknowledged her influence. That makes them all the more genius. And "Anthem" records. Duh.

    Thanks for posting this excellent stuff. I wish people would listen to the words, read Ayn Rand, and make some connections. We are all enslaved, just as she and Rush knew.

  • Most Ex

  • BEST!!

    

  • BEST!!

  • It's hard to believe part three only has half the views of parts one and two considering it may just be the most epic song ending of all time.

  • @imnotabotrlyimnot Fully ageree with you. Also the most difficult part to play, at least for me.

  • @imnotabotrlyimnot that may be true but Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd is pretty impressive haha =D

  • @Jamaicanlatte Floyd and Rush, my top two personal favorites. If my thumbs actually worked I'd give you an up for having good taste concerning this matter.

  • first time really listening to rush for a long period of time. just fucking awesome

  • Are there any videos where I can find when Rush was touring with KISS?

  • I don't care for Rush. I don't care for Guitar Hero either. However, I have to give props to Rush for completing a 20 minute song. Also, props to Guitar Hero for including it.

  • Warriors of Rock is gonna be the best guitar hero EVER!

    i heard they're also making a guitar hero KISS.

    which is cool, but nowhere NEARLY as cool as Warriors of Rock.

  • This is one long ass song.

  • @KYLE8497 Is this continued on from part 2?

  • Dude, sucks that it's gonna be split into 7 parts in the new Guitar Hero, but if we're lucky, there will be a special unlockable that allows you to play for ALL 20 minutes. That would be INSANE.

  • @Embult Don't they have setlists in that game like in Rock band? Like where you can play ten songs at once?

  • @Ignore14 i think they had that in gh world tour in quickplay or whatever... so yea i guess you could play all the parts at once if they kept that feature

  • EEPIIIICCCCCC

  • Solo is not decent was exepting for 6minute solo haha..

  • I just hope they don't mess it up and make it one of the short versins. standing there rattling off notes for 20 minutes would be insane! can you say multi-million points?

  • @BlackenedBullet I read an article on gamespot.com that 2112 will be on the game in it's enitre 20 mins, but it would be divide into like 7 parts.

  • Thanks for posting :D

  • Beautiful!!  Thank you.

  • man, I've been a Rush fan since 13 (1983) . 2112 Just does it for me. Three clever musicians. Think of having a 5 point ring in a circle between my thumb and for finger. Have a rounden enembilinn in the same place (Anonymous symbel) on my other hand.
