Rush - Xanadu - Video

[Cash2112]

This is a prog-metal materpiece.

[SIERRAHPBT]

the 16 dislikes need to take the shit out of their ears so they can hear this masterpiece.

[luvtotruck]

16 tools must have thought this was Oliva and choke ELO verision. That song was god awful and movie totally blew too. WTF was old Jeff thinking. That was the fall of them. Prior to that ELO were awsome. Wish though Geddy and the boys would offer us 1 more 10 min plus epic.

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

hate to wake you warlike sir, but the peacocks are doing that worldy crowley monsier yawn in the morning...go fetch the definition book and some herbal tea, slave, helld within dreams of all.

[mvunit3]

Oh Wow!!!! One of my all time fave movies AND I do think of the images (along with my own since purchasing an LP in 1981) in The Fountain now that I have seen it, and YOU have crafted it into the psyche of my Rush-ladened mind :). What an EXCELLENT job you did! This ranks up there with the Fan-made HAKEN "Visions" :).

[MrLeafsnation]

16 people drunk the milk of paradise after the expiration date. EXPIRES: 12/31/2110. Current date: 2/4/2112

[moshin68]

16 people have never been to Xanadu.

[claywall6]

I think it's safe to assume 16 people accidentally pressed the dislike button.

[bookworm1138]

i'm drunk and this song still makes no sense

[mynameisdotas]

@bookworm1138 Because getting drunk normally makes everything much more comprehendable.

[bookworm1138]

@mynameisdotas i don't know, just thought i'd give it a try, see if it made more sense

[mynameisdotas]

@bookworm1138 Ha, fair enough.

[BeyondTheBrain]

Tripped to this on mushoors in the NE of Scotland in my late teens with a good mate. Head full of memories again here in my 50's......AWSOME! band ;o)

[piratecheese13]

i for one loved this movie and thought this was a pretty good song to go with it

[Libbysaurus4]

i'm 13.... RUSH IS MY FAVOURITE BAND EVER no music now days can beat rush <3

[luismarincopula]

NO DISCUSSION: RUSH IS SSSOOOOOO GREAT !!!!!!!

[chukuni76]

Ace of Spades: very good point--Queensryche is comparable to Rush with their musical genius and creativity and uniqueness.

[VODMagazine]

AOS Queensryche is good, but barely comparable to RUSH.

[chukuni76]

Hey,TaterTots725: Congrats, young man--I myself was only 13 when I bought the album farewell to Kings in 1980. This and Closer to the Heart are still 2 of my top favourites, I'm 45 now, 31 yrs later!!

[neilzep]

@chukuni76 me too. This was their golden period along with the early eighties

[grantybert]

why are my boxers wet?

[TheBgaddy]

As long as Rush is around others can only be in second place.

[WhiteRusski]

most people my age dont even know who rush are, let alone appreciate thier music, i feel sorry for them,mainstream shite polluting thier brains lol

[fearsomesnow]

My video had to buffer at 2:43 >:O

[benney62]

Right on tatertot!!

[JohnPetrucciness]

XAAAAAAAANNNAAAAAADDUUUUUUU!

[00music0art0me00]

epic

[bbennet39]

I saw Rush play this during theie Hemisphere tour in 1979... blown away!!

[2112rushfanforever]

@bbennet39 YOU, SIR...are lucky. :P

[BibkaRybka]

What a brilliant song to daydream to and think of something nice...Thanx Pete for telling me about Rush...I see why you like them. Dobressimo!!! B:))

[cusheth]

@twajetmech1 they are from "canadia"

[DavemechL1011]

15 people have never dined on honeydew, and drank the milk of paradise.

[Iliac2112]

@twajetmech1 No, they come from Cygnus, silly.

[KingFire2112]

@Iliac2112 I think that Cygnus was the god of balance and peace not a place...

[Iliac2112]

@KingFire2112 I mean, Cygnus, the constellation. 'Six Stars of the Northern Cross...' Cygnus? The Swan? Black hole?

[Helix1965]

Yes they must be star people...long-long time fan here...

Excuse me...why is there a dislike button on any Rush song?

[MASAI97]

@Helix1965 Its a trap! Anyone who clicks it instantly turns into pelican...A mentally damaged pelican mind you....

[walkandlookup]

@Helix1965 perhaps they are even deaf or extraterrestians

[TheJameslehr]

Time to see Rush accompanied by a full ORCHESTRA , preferably the Chicago Symphony, a la Metallica with the San Francisco Symphony. This and THE TREES would be mandatory selections.

[timrs2001]

@twajetmech1 Attention all planets of the solar federation. RUSH has assumed control... :)

[DeepSabbath1]

Saw these live... fucking amazing...

[giggitygoobrick]

I love rush. Rush is my favorite band in the world. i would DIE to keep rush's music goin.

[Susanp34]

Rush an Amazing band...in a class by themselves.

[mrianmark]

I photographed Rush in 75 and 77. To see the shots go to 70srockphotos (.com)

[superunt43]

@twajetmech1 Your comment is wonderful.

[YourHeartIDesire]

Rush is amazing.. They make me a proud Canadian. If it weren't for them, I would move to Norway. Thank you Rush, for forming and creating such inspirational music!

[superunt43]

@YourHeartIDesire I have family in Canada I adore. You should be proud.

[YourHeartIDesire]

@superunt43

Canada is a homely place, and it is beautiful as well. Of course, I am proud :}.

However, I have a great passion for Europe. All in all, they are both great places to live.

[TheChrisbk]

The garden of eden and the timetable of the moving wheel. Time.

[TheChrisbk]

The F word is not good. I don't know how many times. It isn't the best way to describe the defense. Shouldn't curse. It's an insult to the music. Really.

[hotrodngifty]

@twajetmech1 i totally agree, these 3 guys put out more sound than a 5 man band and a lot better quality. very few bands can do live what they do in the studio, but rush can do it live and sound like it's in a studio, they're my favorite band and one in a million

[hotrodngifty]

THIS WAS PRETTY COOL, I DONT USUALLY COMMENT BUT THIS ONE WAS WORTHY OF RECOGNITION, GOOD JOB!

[BeowulfVids]

@NJWells92, that's kinda funny.

[NJWells92]

I guess 13 people work for Rolling Stone...



[PatchCornAdams722]

I agree with the top comment, this song also gives me an erection.

[GenaTrius]

@twajetmech1 Before a beneficial mutation can spread through a population, the first individual to develop it must stand on their own.

[darton12ny]

awesome...

[MrNusecus]

Rush 1974 - 2112

[dmcmahan121]

The problem is the autotune button is not there?

[sometin2much]

Women generally do not "get" Rush and I think that's awesome. There is something to be said for having the abstractions which can only live in the mind of men.

[rockisheaven]

@sometin2much I'm a woman and I fucking love them. Neil has actually said that he thinks the female fans generally appreciate the lyrics more. Female Rushians DO exist!

[hotrodngifty]

@rockisheaven i wish i could meet a female that appreciates rush as much as i do, you,re alright with me-go girl

[superunt43]

@twajetmech1 I would offer check "Hold your fire" tribute to Columbia. Any human that does not cry over this is no human to me. I cried like a baby.

[superunt43]

@twajetmech1 I do so love your comment.

[MagnumPEI1]

Um I guess you were talking about Samuel Taylor Coolridge Shuttle? He was coked up and had the dream. Neil or Geddy or Alex picked up on it and made an amazing song. Just so happened that fact made me interested in Coolridge and poetry. Now in the right mood (No Coke) I attempt writing. Can almost recite Xanadu by coolridge...bout 5 stanzas in...hehe

[tatertots725]

I'm 13 and my age has no relevance to the music I listen to...

[superunt43]

@tatertots725 you have no parents or peers who offer this?

[superunt43]

@tatertots725 Thank you.

[superunt43]

@tatertots725 I am 53 and this has no bearing on what I listen to either.

[tatertots725]

@superunt43 niiiiiiice. I'm actually 16 though and because of my dad I listen to Rush. I was just making fun of all teh people who think they're awesome because they are counter cultural at a young age.

But anyways, long live superunt43 and long live Rush!!

[stykzninja1]

@tatertots725 im only 12 and i listen to this...take THAT society

[neilzep]

@tatertots725 very smart tot.

[bluejaywaay]

@tatertots725 well doooooooooooooooooooone..... 

[Kindel87]

Rush is the best thing to come out of Canada!

[superunt43]

@Kindel87 Yes

[RushALMM]

Rush=religion.

Fan club Rio-Brazil.

[caseyjones67]

Anybody know what amp alex used on farewell to kings

[ardrack1]

thanks by sharing .Ardrack from Rio .

[lukemanify]

After the accident and recovery Neil said that Rush was born again on Pictures and he thinks this is the real stuff after that. So whhat is this then? The best tune ever!

[chalant1965]

Need a love button!!!!! \m/>.<\m/

[dancingshoes1974]

this song gives me a boner

[KingFire2112]

@dancingshoes1974 How could it not give one a boner it rocks too hard.

Not to mention it makes girls too wet...

[dancingshoes1974]

@KingFire2112 calm down there buddy

[hotrodngifty]

@dancingshoes1974 right? chill....

[MASAI97]

@dancingshoes1974 It gives women boners

[drumforlife720]

@dancingshoes1974 shit man this song makes me cum

[dancingshoes1974]

@drumforlife720 yea i usually need a woman to do that

[drumforlife720]

@dancingshoes1974 damn you're being literal??? then no this doesn't even give me a boner, that's pretty sad dude.

[dancingshoes1974]

@drumforlife720 what you mean?

[drumforlife720]

@dancingshoes1974 well just that i could've said i need a woman for me to get a boner but i ju--- nevermind this song just gave me a boner

[goeman93]

@dancingshoes1974 I dare anyone or challenge anyone to disagree with me that RUSH IS THE GREATEST BAND EVER!!!!!!

[aceofspades552]

@goeman93 Queensryche, friend

[The836812]

@goeman93 i surrender

[folgoraEX]

@goeman93

I CHALLENGE YOU

i lost...

[123thinn]

@goeman93 they lost me after moving pictures

[spoon149]

@goeman93 Frank Zappa is better

[goeman93]

I think RUSH is from some other mystical world other than our own. Watch the Lord of the Rings while listening to Caress of Steel, a Farewell to Kings, 2112 and Hemispheres. You'll be blown out of your senses of realty.

[ozzyFTW1369]

@goeman93 I've known that RUSH is from another 'hemisphere' for years my fellow earthling...

[iGottaWrench]

@dancingshoes1974 Thats normal.

[dancingshoes1974]

@iGottaWrench shut up wrench

[lucasdileo1234]

what is this video it goes with this song so well

[www41WorldUSAcom]

RUSH♥♥♥''XANADU''

[DireDandelion]

I remember when I was a little girl this song would be playing while I napped. <3

[TheStuport]

Life Long RUSH Fan...as Shreddy Geddy Lee call's us...."Rash Lovers".....for thos who not "get it", nothing said will help....for those who "DO GET IT",nothing needs to be sais. PERIOD....Rock On Rush & Rashites.....Rock F-ing On

[bearmare]

11 people ate the 'yogurt of paradise' and found it didn't as good when it was still milk.

[TheGeezerProductions]

11 people choked on honeydew and drowned in the milk of paradise.

[eljuglar91]

I can't hear this song without this video. Amazing compilation

[TheSleepDeprived1]

I love the fact that there are clips from The Fountain going to this song because the song was based off of that poem called Paradise Lost. I think the video choice is great. It just goes so well to the meaning of the song.

[elderrelms]

Who the hell would push the dislike button on this song....... what idiots

[aytherix]

Countless youtube video top comments are fixated on video dislikes.... **yawn**

[MARKANDLEISANDERS]

Can't be played on mobile?

[silhuette66]

Awsome Iterpretation!! I Loved it! Thank You!

[charmandarstudios]

ANYONE ELSE THINK OF UNCHARTED 2???

[baputhasawana]

This fuckin movie The Fountain , was the biggest piece of shit ever created, I think Ill go eat some tree bark, and float away in a giant snow globe. Huge Ackman should get a kick in his nuts for even agreeing to take part.

Awsome song though, RUSH is amazing

[Irenfyr]

Yay! love it :-)

[IrritatingRemote]

Actually, there's two like buttons on this video guys.

[flingalbunt]

Brilliant editing and adaptation of the movie to Rush's timeless music.

[POLARBEARNOPENGUIN]

What the heck, it says play at Worlds of Fun Kansas City, I got excited because it's close to where I live but then I was like why is Rush playing at a theme park, thats for low life bands... then I found out its Big Time Rush which I've never heard of, Low Life Band...

[jwaldman69]

Future Alien God Spirits sent Rush to earth so they could give us a sign that there is meaning in life.

[TheRajdoot350]

awesome ! i forgot how great this song was ! thanx for reminding me ! :)

[burningxdimx]

@twajetmech1 Constellation Libra? Thay're the other mysterious force from the constellation of Cygnus.

Some call it Willowdale, Ontario, Canada..

[NYFalconman]

WOW!!!! Fucking Amazing Video work!!! I was glued through the whole song!! AWESOME Job!!!

[MUFFINSNOTMUPPINS]

WHOAH

[flingalbunt]

I always have difficulty finding the right words to describe Rush - they are just so incredible! Nevertheless, one must keep trying... how about un-be-fucking-lievable!!! (Or has that already been stated?)

[flingalbunt]

@twajetmech1 I always suspected they were from off planet... the intro sounds Pleiadian to me.

[xxxfestivaxxx]

RUSH=AWESOME

[MetallicaRush101]

This video blows my mind.

[xxxfestivaxxx]

@MetallicaRush101 thats because it is by rush ;)

[MetallicaRush101]

@xxxfestivaxxx Well of course :). but the song goes perfectly with the movie!

[xxxfestivaxxx]

@MetallicaRush101 yeah

[AgentofChaos1966]

This is the only tune by Rush that I like

;)

[KICKYOASH]

@AgentofChaos1966 Then this is the only song you have heard by Rush or you have "Down Syndrome" !!

[AgentofChaos1966]

@KICKYOASH Nope, far from it. I have heard them all, I just can't stand them except for this one. I'm in my mid-forties so I have an idea of what I'm talking about. And your "Downs Syndrome" remark is more than tasteless, it's downright offensive.

[Beatlesguy71]

Leave it to Rush to make the live version better than the studio version.

[CrazyNative4]

black sabbath sucks

[welovedickblake1]

Thumbs up if 3:30 is already you new ring-tone:! :)

[mindstormnosferatu]

amazing video, thank you very much!

[breezeplayer800]

This is off the Farewell to Kings album... that statement alone dates me,lol

[TheLurline23]

You need to do the next Lord o the rings movie! SUCK IT...SPIELBURG!!!

[marcelotodeschini]

Sem Comentário...............espet­acular.

[mikeb1444]

YEAH!

[MEPG75]

ME RECUERDA AL INTRO DE LA CANCION BLACK SABBATH DEL ALBUM BLACK SABBATH

[TheTherese3]

Here we have a Topograghic moment,but that's fine.They know this!!

[TheTwinSeasons]

Brilliant track, best band in the world.

[stallionplaya52]

XXAAAANN

NAAAADUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!

[spruss929]

ridiculus song

[ENERG4FREE]

@spruss929 Who is this ridiculus? How can he bear ownership of this song? Reply at once young foolish one..

[spruss929]

@ENERG4FREE ridiculus in a good way champ

[ENERG4FREE]

@spruss929 thanks for seeing a little humor in my comment. Some people get insanely angry at my attempts to be plumber turned comedian. :)

[spruss929]

@ENERG4FREE i also happen to be a plumber

[NightleeGirl]

The story is that he went out searching for the lost Xanadu where he would find the holy grail...turns out he finally found Xanadu in the top of an icy mountian. Once he drank from the holy grail he was granted imortallity, allthough he did not know Xanadu is an icy prison at which he cannot escape.

[jakeTW1996]

@NightleeGirl this is actually neil pearts intrepretation of an old poem. though it does have something to do with immortality.

[Tralman1965]

@jakeTW1996 Khubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Incredible poem, incredible song!

[breezeplayer800]

@NightleeGirl excellent crib notes version., lol well done love RUSH my favorite is 2112 the words are an adaptation of Ayn Rands`book Anthem.

[cpmaniac]

@breezeplayer800 so are subdivisions

[theratfarmer]

take what you need from the land. kubla khan is what we are.

[MultiWebweaver]

all 2112 fans Xanadu Life During Wartime # 978-1-4568-9073-5

[Burgerrider]

That was amazing. One of my favorite Rush songs with a video that actually did it right with out the band even being in it. Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed it.

[smilingpug]

Who's that dancing in the back? Peter Gabriel or Paris Hilton?

[punksaregayjokes]

[MrPeguin666]

God, remember how long songs used to all be?
