[cincyrocked]

Where's the fuckin SOUL?????

[SeehighSeelow]

My teacher played for sonic circus. Keyboard player John Palecek

[MGCStrings]

Johnny Palecek played for the Sonic Circus from Wisconsin. Awesome band (but not the one featured on this video).

[SeehighSeelow]

Did u have a keyboard player with the last name palecek?

[rushyeskansas]

No, we didn´t!

[morristhekatze]

that was pretty good.. hey did you have a guy in sonic circus with the last name Palecek?

[rushyeskansas]

Thanx, but no, we never had keyboard player called Palecek ... why did you ask?

[morristhekatze]

he's my german teacher and he showed us a video of him playing in sonic circus

[gumma71]

Booooo

[maihimechan]

a woman singing! awesome!! *-*

[richhamilton80]

Where did you get access to the vocal track on it's own??? Would love it if you could hook me up with that sample. Or is it just the full mix from the album?

[rushyeskansas]

well Rich, was not me that sampled the vocal track, was our drummer. but i think he used the original mix of the album ... as far as i can remember he even used the intro part with just the voices! keep rockin´ ...

[rickyon]

Hey great job! I would be proud to post this if it were me!(It was back in the 80's when I was in a band that made a ten year run of it!) I also am a retired drummer like the previous poster and I have two bits of advice for you! #1 keep doing what your doing because as long as you love doing it the music will show that(lots of bands use samplers and sequencers it's part of the landscape now!)#2 Don't pay any attention to Mrs. PHD! She could be a naked fat guy drooling on his keyboard! Rock On!

[jgdesign]

Good job guys! This is not an easy one to do - trust me - I know since I've played it as the drummer! The lead singer is weak, but I could have sworn I heard Steve Walsh's voice as a back-up in there. That's cheating!

[rushyeskansas]

thanx, yeah you are right, we used a vocal sample (from the original song) in back of the refrain, because our lead singer was sick at this show. but it was a bit too loud :)). if you call that cheating .. ok! what should i say! keep rocking!

[jgdesign]

Right on!

[birddoggarton]

Drummer is having a little trouble with that one.

[darkestnightmare]

the lead a dude or a chick? [rly not being rude, just wondering]

[rushyeskansas]

she is a woman, but her voice sometimes looks more like a man! :)))

[darkestnightmare]

wow, like, not liking?

[merfissa]

Well-done rendition of a great song. Real musos don't bag out other musos- Period!

[SpicyItaliana]

Starving musicians all around the world beg to be recognized for their undiscovered talent. You beg to be recognized in spite of your lack of it. European = irrelevant. Why bring that up? If you like what you do, take voice lessons, stage presence 101, buy a metrinome, and grow up. Learn your craft, and take pride in your technique when you have one, however you get one. I have and I have published compositions. Start from scratch. Good luck in the future, whatever it consists of...

[rushyeskansas]

first of all, i give a shit of being recognized! btw i am not even the singer of the band! but this doesn´t matter now. people like you just make me sad and worried about the future of music! you know what i think, you are a NOBODY and u will always stay a nobody. you just like to appear here in youtube where nobody can recognice who and what you are, to make smartass comments. maybe you should consult a shrink. i fear thats the only person that can help you! that´s it, discussion finished!

[AlleyKatKid]

ya man i agree with you. nice standup...i had to do that once for my vids...check em' out...anyway these people who say things like that dont know what their think...thaey just have no lifes

[SpicyItaliana]

im not 22, im 32....and i love that youre getting riled up about youtube comments. that says alot in and of itself. I'm thrilled that you like what you do. I'm simply saying that you need alot of work before you take offense to the obvious. I agree, there are unstudied people much better than me. I won't post my performances, until I think they are the best they can be. Do the same, and more people will view it. If arrogant = educated, and if snob = objective, you're right!

[rushyeskansas]

your arrogance is a lack of education! and i am not upset about comments, if they are really objective! but your comments are far from what i should exspect from a "PHD". for now you did not bring one single good argument, why that performance was so bad (shit, in your language) your only point is, that we used vocal samples in one part of the song! probably you found your PHD degree in a cornflakes box during the breakfast! if not, go back to university and ask how to make objective critic!

[SpicyItaliana]

theres a reason im the only person thats favorited you.

[rushyeskansas]

I can really live without that "big" honor :)))

[SpicyItaliana]

well i didnt think i had to supply credentials for stating the obvious, or having a concurring opinion with someone who was correct, but as long as you asked I've just completed my PHD in in Concert Piano and Percussion at Colorado State University. I have experience and plan to use it. I'll be using your video to instruct eager young minds on exactly how not to perform. By the way, I'm a woman. I'm not saying basic lessons in music couldn't help you sing at weddings someday. Keep at it.

[rushyeskansas]

ok, let us stop with that childish discussions! if you really have a PHD in piano and in whatever ... what I am really doubting!

nevertheless you should be at least more educated not telling other musicians a "shit", whatever they do and how bad it is! maybe they like what they do!

but i already saw musicians that never studied music at a university and they are better than most of that arrogant studied snobs, that think a univerity degree makes them anything better!

[rushyeskansas]

And the fact that you are woman doesn´t make any differcence for me either!

[rushyeskansas]

by the way a PHD in piano??? ... it is really possible to do that with the age of 22??? in Europe, where i come from these people with PHD are at least 30 or much older! yeah but there not "everybody" can get that degree! maybe thats why the most famous classical composers and musicians are from Europe!

[SpicyItaliana]

nope. you guys are shit. there is a band called mindwalk, on youtube, consisting of children. ages 11-14, and they'd outplay you in this song any day of the week, with the flu. and the whole using the record for backup because you sing so bad....lame. but good for amatuer hour which is what i hope this was.

[rushyeskansas]

Hey Spicy ... first of all ... talking about shit! what a shit you know about music? you are just copying the crap that darkrayth1991 already wrote, without any base of what you are talking about. thats cheap man! go get an instrument and a mic, study for some years and then come back and we can talk about music. at least you wouldn´t write such a bullshit anymore. but your age speaks for you, so i won´t accuse you for that! talk to you in about 10 years .. good luck!

[rushyeskansas]

I saw Mindwalk and i also think that these kids are outstanding musicians, especially with that age! incredible! if they keep up that good work, they could be the new hope for good rockmusic in the future. i just hope the future will not depend on guys like Spicy .. or we are lost!

[rushyeskansas]

but serious, did you ever play an instrument, how many times you have been on stage with a band playing songs from that kind of bands like Kansas? you know what, i think you know "a shit" about music! thanx for the comment!

[rushyeskansas]

so you call us shit, because we used the technical possibilities (in this case vocal samples, by the way just on the refrain of the song) that all that so called "professional acts" nowadays use. so you have to call them shit too! what about the rest? did you hear that this song was instrumentally well played, and also the rest of the vocals was well done! if somebody is looking for something to shit on, he will find it.

[ImpatraZ]

Good, but is that a guy or girl singing?

[rushyeskansas]

thats a girl, but she has a very deep voice! :)

[banksia14]

good job. I love Kansas. you guys do a wonderful job. great vocals. good luck.

[weazeravalon]

Yeah!!

[ESQUERDINHO1]

pretty awesome.

[amagic1]

Great job!........great vocals and guitar/keys!
