love this song i didnt really think rush did menacing (ok wich hunt) but was quite shocked by this very thought provoking following on from malnar vid :D
It seems that most people who are looking up the new Rush songs are older than most of the Youtube population.
You'd think that by the time somebody hits their 30s or 40s they wouldn't take the time to insult kids for listening to a different kind of music than them. Kind of sad.
@justforthelulzzz Yea & Im 20. Not a huge classic rock fan but this band is one of the best. They keep up with the times while keeping the same Rush sound. Not many bands can do that. Anthrax is 1 of the only older bands besides Rush that has come out with good music. Their Worship Music was the best album by Anthrax in my opinion. All of Rush's music is awesome. In 10 years, tell me where little wayne and justin beiber are. 40 years ago Rush were playing and they r still going
Honestly Lil Wayne will be forgotten by everybody except his hardcore fans (the morons who still say that "best rapper alive" shit), and Bieber will go out just like every other "teen idol" before him. Either forgotten completely or doing lines of coke in a hotel room. Or both.
fans still have taste, not everything rush or any band puts out is 'awsome' as some yahoo rush fans would have u believe. rush has talent but really bad taste, personally, stylistically ( (see the mid.late 80s artwork and dress) and push their talent in the wrong direction. subsequently they have a ture era of peak music from 77 to 1987, then thats about it in terms of ground breaking music that had reach beyond the narrow white 40-50s yr male fan base that follows them today.
@fendergibs fendergibs, I have to laugh at your very childish remark. I will continue listening to classic rock including Rush. Like I said little boy get a life and have a great day!
Fendergibs has a point, says what I know but I'm glad they aren't dead and hey, wouldn't it be amazing if they all of a sudden came up with something that surpassed all their masterpieces like Beethoven did with his 9nth symphony. It could happen but melody is really whats elusive, yeah volume is easy but melody, just imagine if Rush did something like the 9nth in the end.
I bought 2112 as one of my first rock albums when I was young and washooked on the band right away. Atthe time I played trumpet and had been amusician for a little while. I ve yet to miss an album release or tour. When Moving Pictures was released, my appreciation for this ever changing band grew. When I heard the bass line The Camera Eye I figured it out on mu brothers acoustic guitar, bought a bass the next day and haven't looked back. Long Live Geddy, Alex, Neil, the best trio ever, Rush.
I love how Geddy's voice has deepened and darkened over the years, and its a joy to see and hear Rush's evolution, period. BU2B is a wonderfully deep song and I enjoy it very much!
Rush has the unique ability to show up one week in a tuxedo and win you over with a classy act. The following week they come in wearing jeans and converse sneakers, and give any metal band worth their salt something to aspire to. Finally, yet another week later, they show up looking like average joes, and crank out a few timeless songs - just to let you know they're one of the best trios out there.

@TranquilizerDarts So, let me get this straight. Because Anton Lavey used this symbol in his satanic bible no one can ever use the symbol again? That's fucking smart dude. Nice detective work there. The KKK burned large crucefixes on black peoples lawns. Does that mean Christians are bigots? Seriously. you need to take a logic class. hope i'm not coming across as overly harsh. but your line of thinking is fucking STUPID.
Don't understand some of the comments on here about BU2B, Caravan and Rush's recent album releases, just listen to "Armour and Sword", "Faithless","Workin them Angels"and "Hope", from "Snakes and Arrows" their last album before the release of "Clockwork Angels". They're truely sublime pieces of writing, Rush never rest on their laurels, they always strive to push the musical envelope, maybe that's why some of the musical "In Crowd" didn't and don't get Rush, mind you, who cares if they do!!!
@wheelywot they are all bad songs, sorry. rush is great but the song u listed are crap. every band that been around for decades has crap songs and for the last 10 yrs most of the new material from rush is horrible with a few exceptions. I was skilled and had the set list for the last tour and hit the lobby when these songs were blarring away, returning for the real stuff such as marathon, the MP set, presto (ok), ....clockwork and faith were the worst on tour with bu2b not much better
@fendergibs Rush are not just great, they are truely one of the best bands performing now and over the past 30 years, your musical taste is obviously not as divergent as mine, as any person who enjoys music knows, taste and musical aknowledgement is a personal matter, what is at some length flawed in your argument is the continuing drive and passion Rush put forward in each and every album, recent ones included, as for your phrase "crap". 43.755 don't agree with you, me included!!!
@fendergibs Your opinion, is your opinion, but to call the music crap, aswell as your comments about Rush's music from the 1990's is utterly flawed, we all have our favourite Rush albums and tracks, I personally find the vast majority of the 90's music, through to the modern day absolutely fantstic, more and more young people are being switched on to Rush here in the UK, taking on the new albums with relish aswell as discovering the back catalogue, but hey, Swings and roundabouts!!!
@wheelywot fact are facts 5 live records in 7 yrs, zero lasting or impactful songs known outside of the small narrow rush fan base after 1990. bands stop making new records for a reason and just tour, nothing wrong with that. the new rush semi release carvan is horrible thus far I dont expect the full release to improve on that. sure it will hit the charts for a week or two but then flop off the charts after all the rush geeks buy their copy then nothing......not opinon facts
@fendergibs Its still your opinion, not a fact, Rush have continued to expand and diversify their music since their own conception, Musically and as artists they have never stood still, that's what Rush fans enjoy and love about their music, not pandering to the music industry mogals or relying on being the next chart topper, in fact that is one of the main criteria that Rush fans support them for, being able to produce music that satifies their own musical influences, long may they carry on.
Just because they haven't had a hit in the last 20 years doesn't mean the songs haven't been just as good as the 80's if not better. I would describe their most recent work as transcendent, sublime, mature, thoughtful, not stuff for the radio in any case.
@malcolmX213 or just loud & blarring without melody..........how many fans at the last show were humming along to crap like faith or bu2b? yet the crowd went nuts for the camera eye, a song not played live in over 20 yrs and at the time a filler song on MP back in 1981, yet out shines any song from rush in the past 20 yrs by a wide margin
@fendergibs Frankly I did sing a long to both songs. I imagine the only people that didn't were the ones that hadn't heard them. I don't know what makes you call the camera eye filler. It actually took me several listens to enjoy that song. Maybe you should try listening to their new stuff a few more times.
@malcolmX213 odd songs to sing along too, but hopefully that will be the last time rush plays those songs live ever. At the time camera eye got little fan fare on MP as it had so many big songs TS.RB,Limelight ect that it got lost in the background, yet is still one of the best songs live by rush on the last tour.
@malcolmX213 wont even go gold. chart for 3-4 weeks then flop off the charts after all the geeked out rush fans buy their copy. after all how many 40--50 yr old out of shape white males still buy this stuff, which is 92% of the rush auidence
@fendergibs Are you a Rush fan or not? I'm very excited for this album. There will be other songs diffferent than these two, including one over 10 minutes.
@fendergibs this 40-50yr old male loves Rush and has recently achieved a TaeKwonDo black belt and is not out of shape nor geeked out. So what percent of the Rush audience do I belong to asshole?
@VenzaMaiden who cares, the % of rush fans as per statical data are 40-50yr old white males who have a BMI close to 30 ( over weight), nothing wrong with that, what ur individual stats are does not change the average, so again who cares, u should have studied Akido anyway.
@fendergibs I have studied Akido. What makes you assume I have not. Nevermind.....you assume quite a bit I see.......and just what is "statical" data as you so eloquently stated? LOL! Have a nice life!
@VenzaMaiden@fendergibs lol, that ended up sounding like VenzaMaiden is an angry teen confronting DAD!! I studied aikido to, but only got to intermediate without reversals. You know, it is hard to hurl one's entire body around just the wrist, but that might be giving away too many secrets.
I don't think you know what disco is. Power windows and HYF weren't close to disco. Even P/G didn't come close. Disco is focused around a certain kind of drumbeat. Not just keyboard effects.
@Nostalev Drum beat isn't an essential, but yes I'm aware of the characteristics of disco...to me, Red Sector A sounds discoish, as do a couple of others... at no point did I suggest Rush pulled a Bee Gees nosedive into oblivion. :P
They shouldn't re-record this. If I know Rush, if they go back to this song and Caravan, they'll probably make tons of changes, and it's perfect how the way it is. And anyway, in a book I read about Rush, they said they didn't want to go back to these songs anyway because, like I just said, they don't want to mess it all up.
But it will never sound messed up to me :) RUSH FOREVER.
"and justice will prevail!" AYoungGeddy - listening to this on the new cd with/in the caravan reveals and reminds of such clarity of Rush studio versions from yonder when, This Time Machine actually works... was watching the history channel last night and before i was swooped up by a giant Thunderbird, the show about ancient aliens as related to the Bell shaped craft developed by, in theory, what we were born into believing, and such. Nonetheless, misheard lyrics says 'Loves this song to death!'
I cant wait for this album to come out! In an interview with Alex Lifeson he said that this was a promising album and they were really pleased with it! He said they had six songs (including Caravan and BU2B) that were really happy with, and are almost done 3 more!
We will be two to keep that wonderful music alive for years to come... Rush has always set the standard... They give a lot to the music by their inspiration and talent and they still innovate everytime they create new stuff. For my part, I consider them as the best power trio of all time and their music is absolutely sublime !!! Yet, Rush isn't accessible to everyone making this band very underrated compared to bands "easier to listen" !!!
@buggzzzz its hard for rush to expand when 99.7% of all females run for cover when rush is played, esp the new blaring crap that has "absolutly no melody" as all ofmy female friends say. oh well gave me a hall pass to go to the show with guys . I like the older stuff 77-90 ,but she is right as for the most part we all found the new stuff as unlistenable loud dreck with nosensical lyrics.
Thebgaddy, what is" A REAL RUSH FAN" then. Please enlighten everyone with your so called "WISDOM" OF WHO A REAL RUSH FAN IS. i live here in australia and have never heard rush on the radio anyway because they never get played due to my own dissapointment. But what would i know apart from the fact that i am a muso and have been drumming for over 40 years. But why am i telling you this,you obviosly know me better than i know myself. !!!!!!!!!!!!
grassy00 youre just not a real RUSH fan. Sorry Thats OK youre not alone, alot of people dont have the time to listen to all the stuff they have put out since your( so called good stuff) that was probably on the radio ? (Tom Sawyer etc) They are leaps and bounds ahead in their creativity and master musicianship that no one will ever catch them. So dont feel bad! Just try to catchup !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i personally dont think rush has written anything that great for a long time. Dont get me wrong guys, i am not a rush hater,in fact i am a big fan of rush. I just feel that they have lost the melodic touch. I am only comparing their songs of today because i like their old stuff alot. geddys voice is overdubbed to the max with his own backup vocals.They still play well, its just their melodies are gone(the catchy guitar riffs)Please dont bag the shit out of me its just my opinion.
@grassy00 I agree with you 100 percent... I'm a HUGE RUSH FAN and I don't give a shit if others say i'm not but they haven't written anything I care to listen to since probably Power Windows. I'll forever live for the music that happened between their debut album and Permanent Waves... a bit burned out on Moving Pictures although I do enjoy Signals and P/g. Rush just seems to be going through the motions now, it might please them but I think it all sounds the same now... really boring
I'm kinda hoping they re-record this and "Caravan." That way, we'll have both versions of both songs. To be honest I stopped listening to new Rush around the "Test For Echo" CD. I did see them on that tour though, which was awesome. They ended the first set with the complete first side of 2112. I didn't buy Vapor Trails either, but I bought Different Stages and pretty much any live DVD they released. I did buy Snakes & Arrows on pure whim and it totally revived my passion for all things RUSH!!!
@Just1Micky prob the worst produce rush rec of all time, compressed, blaring recording that even Alex complained about. zero dynamics. haven't bought new studio rec since TFE. the live blu-ray are the way to go for new releases, HD Master Audio on S&A live is the way to go.
@fendergibs I don't know about you, but I don't judge songs, or indeed albums, based on the recording quality, a technical issue that can sometimes go wrong, I base my opinions of them on the quality of the written material, in which Vapour excels!
@fendergibs At the end of the day, you can turn the volumne down, or use a different set of speakers, or buy their remastered version. Yes, I can understand that not being able to listen to the music may be a real bugger, but that doesn't change the quality of the songs on the album (not the literal technical quality obviously).
@fendergibs Lol, the quality issue is bad cause its youtube. Much better quality on their radio release. But regardless if record companies started using lossless quality files then music, especially heavier tracks would sound a lot better.
@LordBobIV talking about the record VT which came out in 2000 that had serous production quality issues. this crap song bu2b would not matter how good or bad it was recorded, its a bad song. I took a crap in the bathroom during this song on the last tour, the audience was lifeless many were out in the lobby getting ready for the 2nd half with the MP set when this shit was blaring away, what a waste of air time durning the show, so many better songs waiting in the vault.
This album, if the two songs released are any indication, is going to be precise, tight, dark, and heavy; the best things about Rush in one package. This reminds me of, after years of syrupy 80s pop, "Stick It Out" blew me through the wall of my home. It took a while to fix the hole. I will buy the album as soon as it comes out, but my landlord might not be happy about it...I think this one's gonna blow the walls right off the place. I can't wait to buy the whole album. (I already bought the si
@rushbum eh, Im not a journey or a deep purple fan, but the rest of those definitely should be. King Crimson and Yes are pretty much the best progressive rock bands, along with the Mars Volta of course. I don't mind Rush's new material but Geddy's voice is lacking so much now. He can't come up with catchy melodies. I wish his voice was still what it was from Caress of Steel - Hemispheres. oh, and Grace Under Pressure too, that album is so good.
@dudemanwhoathe1st Geddy's voice is different than it was back then, but still amazing. And, what his voice "lacks", he more than makes up for with his bass lines. This and Caravan have some of the coolest bass lines I've ever heard in Rush songs. I like to look at the song as a whole rather than just one piece of it, and considering the overall tone of this song, Geddy's Caress of Steel voice just wouldn't work. He's changing along with the rest of the band, and it comes out sounding amazing.
@Jick769 eh, you mean it sounds the same in every song..? The bassline is okay, but its definitely not that good to say it makes up for his emotionless singing. The vocal melodies he comes up with are so terrible and generic, and just about every chorus has the same overdub on his vocals. His "Caress of Steel voice" is badass. At the second section of the Necromancer, its got the Black Sabbath influenced riff going on and he's just growling the fuck out of his part. How does it not fit?

I hope this isn't their last album... I know it won't be, but when the last one comes, I think I'll go mad or something.
You guys, please, do NEVER stop making music, do NEVER stop playing it, because your talent is just too big and infinite to be wasted.
Anyway, Rush will live forever... I am one of those who will certainly keep it alive. Their music will be with me until the moment I go to the grave. And amen.
@thebigbangbunnies I have over 40 Rush Cds. Every studio Cd and live bootlegs that I bought @ record conventions. The Bootlegs are crystal clear and they are actually in a safe in case there is a fire or theft. Same goes for van halen and the police. Rush just kicks ass. They are not normal people almost machines. At their age how do they not get tired???????? As a RUSH fan I would gladly make copies for anyone. just need address. Jay
@thebigbangbunnies I met Geddy Lee once at a Yankee game. He shook my hand and all I could think to say was 'thank you" and "please don't ever stop making music".
I totally agree with daviddg548-you are right!!Rush dont need the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame,The Rock n Roll hall of fame needs RUSH!!!I just witnessed a high energy solid performance down in San Antonio,Tx tonight.Each member performing flawless and the band was firing on all cylinders!!!
i hope when they tour for this album they go to vancouver they didnt on the time machine tour idk why but they will when they tour for this becuase time machine tour was not a major tour but this will so far this album sounds more upbeat compaired to snakes and arrows S&R was more slower melody but i hope this one is more raw
Yeah so far I'm liking the universe's plan. How can you not like this experience when you have such a great soundtrack like these times of Rush. These guys rule. :)
RUSH DOES NOT NEED THE FLIPPING ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME THEY ARE THEIR OWN HALL OF FAME!!!!THE HALL OF FAME NEEDS THEM NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!!!
Yeah, this is fantastic. I hear they may be re-recording this and Caravan for the album, so expect some killer enhancements. Bass line in the beginning reminds me of Rage Against the Machine.
They are so good and they just keep trying to get better. And they succeed in doing so. Write the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and tell those hippies that every '60's band wasn't great and they were too coked up to "GET" Rush but coked up enough to think Elvis Costello, Blondie, MADONNA is. Come on.
Oh Yeah, Think about this one...Africkka Bambatta is in but Rush isnt....Wow guilt is a wild thing.
@Classikmetal2007 Thank you for adding to my intellect. Your understanding needs to be on the door so when you buy a ticket you know that you are visiting a mausoleum
To me, the Hall of Fame is a joke. Some of the artists don't even make sense that are in there. To me, I don't even understand their criteria. But I will say this, Rush is awesome.

@fendergibs Your opinion, is your opinion, but to call the music crap, aswell as your comments about Rush's music from the 1990's is utterly flawed, we all have our favourite Rush albums and tracks, I personally find the vast majority of the 90's music, through to the modern day absolutely fantstic, more and more young people are being switched on to Rush here in the UK, taking on the new albums with relish aswell as discovering the back catalogue, but hey, Swings and roundabouts!!!

@wheelywot fact are facts 5 live records in 7 yrs, zero lasting or impactful songs known outside of the small narrow rush fan base after 1990. bands stop making new records for a reason and just tour, nothing wrong with that. the new rush semi release carvan is horrible thus far I dont expect the full release to improve on that. sure it will hit the charts for a week or two but then flop off the charts after all the rush geeks buy their copy then nothing......not opinon facts

@fendergibs Its still your opinion, not a fact, Rush have continued to expand and diversify their music since their own conception, Musically and as artists they have never stood still, that's what Rush fans enjoy and love about their music, not pandering to the music industry mogals or relying on being the next chart topper, in fact that is one of the main criteria that Rush fans support them for, being able to produce music that satifies their own musical influences, long may they carry on.

Just because they haven't had a hit in the last 20 years doesn't mean the songs haven't been just as good as the 80's if not better. I would describe their most recent work as transcendent, sublime, mature, thoughtful, not stuff for the radio in any case.
malcolmX213 6 months ago
@malcolmX213 or just loud & blarring without melody..........how many fans at the last show were humming along to crap like faith or bu2b? yet the crowd went nuts for the camera eye, a song not played live in over 20 yrs and at the time a filler song on MP back in 1981, yet out shines any song from rush in the past 20 yrs by a wide margin
fendergibs 6 months ago
@fendergibs Frankly I did sing a long to both songs. I imagine the only people that didn't were the ones that hadn't heard them. I don't know what makes you call the camera eye filler. It actually took me several listens to enjoy that song. Maybe you should try listening to their new stuff a few more times.
malcolmX213 6 months ago
@malcolmX213 odd songs to sing along too, but hopefully that will be the last time rush plays those songs live ever. At the time camera eye got little fan fare on MP as it had so many big songs TS.RB,Limelight ect that it got lost in the background, yet is still one of the best songs live by rush on the last tour.

I don't think you know what disco is. Power windows and HYF weren't close to disco. Even P/G didn't come close. Disco is focused around a certain kind of drumbeat. Not just keyboard effects.

They shouldn't re-record this. If I know Rush, if they go back to this song and Caravan, they'll probably make tons of changes, and it's perfect how the way it is. And anyway, in a book I read about Rush, they said they didn't want to go back to these songs anyway because, like I just said, they don't want to mess it all up.
But it will never sound messed up to me :) RUSH FOREVER.

We will be two to keep that wonderful music alive for years to come... Rush has always set the standard... They give a lot to the music by their inspiration and talent and they still innovate everytime they create new stuff. For my part, I consider them as the best power trio of all time and their music is absolutely sublime !!! Yet, Rush isn't accessible to everyone making this band very underrated compared to bands "easier to listen" !!!

@buggzzzz its hard for rush to expand when 99.7% of all females run for cover when rush is played, esp the new blaring crap that has "absolutly no melody" as all ofmy female friends say. oh well gave me a hall pass to go to the show with guys . I like the older stuff 77-90 ,but she is right as for the most part we all found the new stuff as unlistenable loud dreck with nosensical lyrics.

I just feel that they have lost the melodic touch. I am only comparing their songs of today because i like their old stuff alot. geddys voice is overdubbed to the max with his own backup vocals.They still play well, its just their melodies are gone(the catchy guitar riffs)Please dont bag the shit out of me its just my opinion.

@grassy00 I agree with you 100 percent... I'm a HUGE RUSH FAN and I don't give a shit if others say i'm not but they haven't written anything I care to listen to since probably Power Windows. I'll forever live for the music that happened between their debut album and Permanent Waves... a bit burned out on Moving Pictures although I do enjoy Signals and P/g. Rush just seems to be going through the motions now, it might please them but I think it all sounds the same now... really boring

I'm kinda hoping they re-record this and "Caravan." That way, we'll have both versions of both songs. To be honest I stopped listening to new Rush around the "Test For Echo" CD. I did see them on that tour though, which was awesome. They ended the first set with the complete first side of 2112. I didn't buy Vapor Trails either, but I bought Different Stages and pretty much any live DVD they released. I did buy Snakes & Arrows on pure whim and it totally revived my passion for all things RUSH!!!

@fendergibs At the end of the day, you can turn the volumne down, or use a different set of speakers, or buy their remastered version. Yes, I can understand that not being able to listen to the music may be a real bugger, but that doesn't change the quality of the songs on the album (not the literal technical quality obviously).

This album, if the two songs released are any indication, is going to be precise, tight, dark, and heavy; the best things about Rush in one package.

@rushbum eh, Im not a journey or a deep purple fan, but the rest of those definitely should be. King Crimson and Yes are pretty much the best progressive rock bands, along with the Mars Volta of course. I don't mind Rush's new material but Geddy's voice is lacking so much now. He can't come up with catchy melodies. I wish his voice was still what it was from Caress of Steel - Hemispheres. oh, and Grace Under Pressure too, that album is so good.
dudemanwhoathe1st 1 year ago
@dudemanwhoathe1st Geddy's voice is different than it was back then, but still amazing. And, what his voice "lacks", he more than makes up for with his bass lines. This and Caravan have some of the coolest bass lines I've ever heard in Rush songs. I like to look at the song as a whole rather than just one piece of it, and considering the overall tone of this song, Geddy's Caress of Steel voice just wouldn't work. He's changing along with the rest of the band, and it comes out sounding amazing.

@Jick769 eh, you mean it sounds the same in every song..? The bassline is okay, but its definitely not that good to say it makes up for his emotionless singing. The vocal melodies he comes up with are so terrible and generic, and just about every chorus has the same overdub on his vocals. His "Caress of Steel voice" is badass. At the second section of the Necromancer, its got the Black Sabbath influenced riff going on and he's just growling the fuck out of his part. How does it not fit?
