  • while she's talking claudio is over there destroying

  • does anyone know what the guy in the ties name is, i think he is coheed manager or something i saw him at one of their concerts but i dont know his name, he is at the start of the vid

  • 00:27 "wait a minute guys, i gotta take this"

  • Can you spot the Iron Maiden Tshirt?

  • the singer for coheed sounds like a girl and looks fuckin rediculous

  • EERILY similar to Geddy Lee??? What's eerie about it? Does she think that there was a conspiracy to clone Geddy Lee's vocal chords??

    Also, it's a retarded comparison in the first place.

  • What's next on this channel... deftones cover John Denver albums?

  • This is fucking retarded.

  • fucking stupid video.

  • Im seeing Coheed tomorrow for the seocnd time and Ive seen rush 6 times, and I must say Taylor does not match Neil in versatility, creativity, technicality.. Dont get me wrong hes very good and fits Coheed perfectly (I love to watch him jam on their live videos) but mentioning him alongside Neil is kinda crazy

  • @DeezyDoesIt420 totally agree Neil Peart is light years ahead of taylor I mean anyone should watch this

    watch?v=JFGVDWc_5Q8&feature=re­lated

  • coheed and cambria and linkin park should never be mentioned together...

  • @ffatboijosh totally agreed

  • Neil Peart is lightyyears ahead of Taylor, so "TRY" is a very fiting word. Don't get me wrong Taylor is good, but Neil Peart is the best

  • @AdamParkerMusic1 light years?????? Sir we will have to agree to disagree. Both are great!!!!!!!

  • @emaculate i'm sorry. Taylor is a good standard, but has nothing on Peart. watch?v=GHkucr1jJpQ

  • @emaculate watch this dude

    watch?v=JFGVDWc_5Q8&feature=re­lated

  • 1:30-1:55 if the woman wasnt talking then we all would have been killed in the name of rock and Claudio. dont know if I should be thankful though

  • claudio has a god given right to that hair.

  • i know everyone already knows this, but i feel that i got to say it...

    Claudio's hair looks to damn epic in this video

  • THE BITCH'S VOICE ALWAYS ANNOY ME.

  • This guy wasn't in the band for even a year.

  • Claudio is very talented and a great vocalist, however, better than Geddy...really...do you think Claudio or Geddy care about who is better? They care about the music. Period.

  • What was that intro song? I know I have it, but I have well over 60 songs by them so I can't figure out which one...

  • @superstriker00 you mean everything evil?

  • @JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion Thanks. XD

  • COHEED SUPPORTING LINKIN PARK? fail.

  • wow i cant believe i am witnessing such a stupid argument... Thing is Coheed And Rush Are both bands that are 100% about the music, they dont care about being famous, gettin bitches, cheap drugs, or even if their cd lands in the top 50. they care about making music that they are proud of at the end of the day. So to get in an argument about ripping eachother off i mean FACK C'MAAAAN. All the individuals in both bands are musical genius's,

  • how many wigs...

  • He meant it sarcastically... -.-

  • claudio > geddie end of story

  • people compare them because they are both prog bands with singers who sond similar doesnt mean they sound the same

  • i watched an interview where they asked claudio which band he doesn't like. he said "i guess rush, because i get compared to them all the time".

    Oh and this lady sounds like a dumb bitch.

  • Loving the vid of Claudio soloing it looks pretty badass if you ask me lol

  • ROFL , you cant really rip off drum music of another song , because there is so many songs with the same drumming in them :)

  • @sickguy7 Very true.

  • they may be similar but the differences are much different, Claudio doesnt sing as high as Rush, he wouldnt try if he knew he couldnt, and he cant, and he also sings low and screams, Getty is much higher and sharper, Claudio is more...solid.

  • @StricknSTW keep in mind though, unlike Geddy, Claudio has a mild form of acid reflux, which does have an effect when he sings high notes, but, if he didn't have that kind of acid reflux, he would be like, spectacular on vocals (oh wait, he is already spectacular at vocals)

  • sigh,

    Internet people,

    Claudio has said that his vocal style is inspired by Michael Jackson, who his mom would listen to when he was a kid. If you think Rush and Coheed are similar, that's fine, it's all a matter of taste, but let's not get angry over nothing, eh?

  • Agreed. I happen to think they sound similar at times, but I respect them as two sperate deities :-)

  • I feel that they have similar ranges, but although I respect Rush as a band, I don't really like Geddy's timbre.

  • you are so sensible which is so refreshing on sites such as youtube

  • ha, you must be canadian.

  • Nope, native of Chicago.

  • 1:50-1:59 WHERE DID HIS FACE GO?! O.O

  • they are two differant bands!!! im tired of this claudio has a high pitched voice so does geedy lee does that mean that that anthony green and circa survive r trying to rip off rush? they have high pithed singers all u rush fanatics stfu becuz u have obvioulsy not listened to coheed they sound nothing like rush

  • agreed. and the fact he didn't hear of them until good Apollo proves he wasn't ripping them off hes had a high vocal range since the beginning of coheed

  • claudio said coheed never heard of rush i think he said until good apoolo 1 so anything before that isnt ripping off rush and coheed tries to get more things out of pink floyd then rush so sorry to break it to you man but maybe the drummer stoled the rush idea and hawkins even said ripping off rush "drumlines" so you cant say its coheed itself

  • no, he said he wasn't a fan untill Good apollo.

  • haha his hair looks so ridiculous at 2:05 its awesome

  • If anything, Rush is ripping off Coheed. You guys are ridiculous.

  • nah man coheed is ripping off RUSH. Coheed's singer even stated that in an interview

  • Sarcasm friend, because this is a stupid argument. As an avid fan of both Rush and Coheed and Cambria, I find it safe to say that they honestly bare no real resemblance worthy of one being called out for ripping off another. If Coheed is ripping off anybody, it's their lesser known friends from New York, Three. Their a good band too, that simply haven't taken off like Coheed have. Their singer is the brother of Coheed's Josh Eppard. Check them out if you don't know about them.

  • what the fuck are you talking about?

    he said he was never into them

    they never ripped off anyone, people say claudio and geddy lee sound similar

    thats about it

  • sounds exactly like Rush's voice

  • both prog i think if anything coheed is our generations rush no offense they both kick ass and not one coheed song "steals " anything rush has done but yea there are similarities like 2112 rush and 2113 coheed so yea theyre obviously self aware , but im just sayin

  • claudio said he never heard of rush until people mentioned the similarities which i think he said was around the good apollo one so obviously 2113 isnt ripped off so that similarity goes down the drain for anyone that says its a rippoff of rush and yeah theyre is similarities but they arent if anything the try to get more pink floyd esque stuff

  • Both Rush and Coheed are fantastic bands and should not be compared. High pitch singer yes and they play instruments thats where the similarities end.

  • this video is hilarious to me.there are some ppl who actually think that Coheed is trying to rip off Rush?god.the only reason that the lyrics from the Coheed songs supposedly sound like Rush is because the songs are literally relling story.ppl are so stupid.

  • Dude, the band doesn't even like Rush. This video takes that quote totally out of context. Notice how he talks for about 10 seconds out of a two and a half minute video.

  • i will end you

  • if you should say someone was trying to rip off rush its the foo fighters drumers a substitute drummer at the time. The "Band" Dosnt like Rush at all. Anyway You should atleast buy one of their records if you really like Good Music. Wont Be desapointed =)

  • they arent ripping off rush. but just cause both lead singers sing at a high pitch, theyre usually associated with rush. then people who no nothing about Coheed say theyre ripping off rush. its just people who have never listened to coheed

  • no fuck lincoln park

  • for the record, opeth put out a live album called "the roundhouse tapes." reminiscent of "the soundhouse tapes" by iron maiden. "ripping off" and "paying homage" are two different things.

    as far as vocals? well, anybody with a high voice is compared to geddy. pretty simple.

  • music is music

  • music is music

  • Ridiculous. Anyone with a high vocal range will ALWAYS be compared to Geddy Lee, or say they rip off Geddy Lee...Wrong. Claudio states MANY time in interview...he just plain didn't like/listen to rush. I have a voice similiar to Claudio's. Not AS high...but working on it. Anyways. Claudio is 10x the man/lyricist/composer/artist that Rush could ever hope of being. The story behind the music...then just the music itself. COheed is one of the best bands to ever exist. In my opinion.....THE best.

  • Amen my friend Amen.

  • no one is as good as rush

  • foo fighters, led zeppelin, the beatles, thats just to start

  • well i'll admit everyone has their different opinions but Rush is one of the best

  • haha yea true

  • no see u have that backwards.rush is as good as no one.

  • This is stupid.

    It's like saying that anyone who plays power chords is ripping off Black Sabbath.

  • any man that sings with a higher range would probably be compared to Geddy Lee so I don't sweat it. Claudio's still completely awesome and one of a kind to me, as is the whole band. Mic and Travis are extraordinary musicians man. I could go on and on about this how good this band is haha.

  • Isn't 2113 (musically, not lyrically) a tribute to rush? Cause the solos sound like Alex lifeson was in the studio with them.

  • No, 2113 is a flashback that Claudio Kilgannon has in the story. > ___ > that's why it's a couple of songs combined.

  • I know what the lyrics are (thats why i said not lyrically) but you listen to 2113 at 3:30-4:20 and 5:13-5:45 and tell me that doesn't sound EXACTLY like rush.

  • Sorry, I kinda left that out.

    And yes, I'll give you that it KINDA sounds like Rush.

    But it's like saying "The Velorium Camper I: Faint of Hearts" is a tribute to Santana.

    or 0:55-1:00 in "Gravemakers and GunSlingers" is a rip off of Rob Thomas' "Lonely no More"

  • well i disagree with you. Either way, 2112 and 2113 are kinda obvious name choices, so maybe your argument would have more strength if the song wasn't called gravemakers and gunslingers, and was called lovely no more.

  • True, but coming back to the argument in which Claudio states that he never knew who Rush was, or ever listened to Rush.

    So why would someone who didn't like Rush, name a song in tribute to Rush?

    And your last argument makes no sense.

  • I didn't mean a literal "tribute" to rush, but i've listened to rush for longer than coheed, and the very first time i heard 2113 i thought they were covering a rush solo.

    I'm just saying it sounds an awful lot like something rush would write.

    I'm not saying coheed copied them or its a real tribute.

  • I guess you're right.

    Some parts of 2113 do sound like Rush.

    Specially this one part sounds very similar to YYZ.

    I never really listened to Rush.

  • wow Claudio's vocals are very different then Giddy Lee and plus Coheed's progressive rock. This is stupid

  • Hey, Thomas, Rush is progressive rock too...

  • Hey Brady One Last Step isn't progressive rock so ha.

  • As a huge Rush fan myself, I agree with the masses. Coheed sounds nothing like Rush.

  • hahahahahahahaha he fucked with that bitch

  • Fuck that, Coheed doesn't sound a shit like that. If they sounded like anything its really not rush. I've never heard anyone like them ... (by that i mean the vocals) and it's so addicting I've fallen in love with It

  • even if claudio did sound like geddy lee (i personally dont think he does) you should compare the music styles listen to rush and then coheed they sound very different

  • I think people struggle to "pigeon hole" Coheeds sound & the best they can come up with is Rush. As a fan of both bands I hear very little Rush influence in Coheed.

  • THANK YOU! Your one of the first people that has the same opion as me.

  • What bullshit. Hawkins, I fucking love him, but he seriously needs to be careful of what the fuck he says. Everyone who fucking hangs on this shit like it's true deserves my size 16 in their anus.

  • the only coheed song that i've heard that even sounds remotely close to Rush is maybe 1 or 2 parts in 2113, but givin the title i'm sure it was intentional. if anything they sound more like iron maiden, just listen to gravemakers and gunslingers. not that they completely sound like them, just you can sense the influence in that song. coheed is still one of the most original bands out there.

  • i effin hate how ppl are always complainin that coheed "sounds like rush" when there's a thousand other bands that sound EXACTLY the same and no one ever criticises them about anything ya know what im sayin?

  • I know EXACTLY what you mean!!! like all those gay emo bands!!! they sound the same. another example is wolfmother and zeppelin.

  • I understand how people say that don't sound like Rush, but i know the closest song they sound to rush would have to be The Willing Well II, sounds a bit like something Rush would've played in the day, I also think they sound nothing like Rush but i can hear it a bit in that song only

  • this is retarted... claudio doesnt sound like rush first of all. and second the song in the backround is off thier first album. Who ever covered this so called "report" did a shitty job. you should have chosen a song that was infact from thier new album if your guna accuse it of sounded like Neil Pert. Taylor was kidding when he said that coca is one of the most unique bands out thier.

  • Taylor was being sarcastic when he said that. He only said it because that's what everybody says about Coheed!

    They do not sound like Rush!

  • Spot on!

  • C&C does not sound like Rush at all.

    THe only similarities are that they are both Prog Rock. So idk wth these people are talking about.

  • So basically, if their vocalist has high pitched vocals, and play music with progressive influences, that means they're a Rush ripoff?

    give me a break.

  • well thats just common sense lol

  • They sound NOTHING LIKE RUSH! They have a similar pitched vocalist (not sound) and are both progressive in some way. SHUT UP.

  • Tongue in cheek means he's fucking kidding around. They have always made fun of the fact that people say they rip off Rush. In fact 2113 (bonus track on IKSSE3)was made specifically to give the middle finger to everyone who made that comparison.

  • no it wasnt dude, claudio said in an interview that was completely on accident, he never even heard of the song 2112, or rush for that matter, 21:13 is just a specific time in the coheed and cambria storyline The Amory Wars which i highly recommend everyone to read

  • Dude I'm sorry but if you think that was a coincidence you are mistaken. I understand it's referring to a time, it states that in the song "and the clock reads 21:13" but to think claudio had never had of 2112 and then just so happens to name a song 21:13 is plain dumb.

  • look dude i thought same thing you thought bc ppl said he sounded like rush and rush was an influence on em that he wanted to poke fun at that but you're wrong, look at some of claudio's interviews he says it was a complete coincidence and he never heard of 2112 by rush

  • Bullshit. unless they never owned a radio, or were teenagers in any school. But hey I'm sure you were hanging with them all the time, and followed them around when they were growing up.

  • they steal from rush soo much man, the evidence is out there just open your eyes!

  • Holy shit really? Dude, everyone tries to make a big fucking deal over everything. Taylor was just joking, get the fuck over it.

  • yea i heard they tried to sound like rush and i heard its bullshit.... i know now its bullshit but some shit is kinda similar but they aint tryin to immulate them

  • except that the guy just admitted it in the video. But I get your point. 8)

    They are huge Rush fans. The term "rip off" is just really a poor choice of words. Tons of bands play like and cover things done by bands that they were influenced by. It's no big deal.

  • they are NOT huge fans of rush. i heard it myself on an interview with coheed here on youtube. they didnt infuence coheed.

  • whatever.

  • rapsucks9000 is right on two things. one thing being that C&C did not start listening to Rush until their second album came out after being asked if they were influenced by them. second being that rap does indeed suck

  • i agree on the rap sucks it sucks dick

  • The only thing is they didn't start listening to rush until they had already created their sound, thus eliminating the cover of influences. People just hear the high voice and think rush, nothing against either band i love them both but facts should be straight in my opinion.

  • Untrue. They have obviously listened to Rush.

    They have had Rush play with them on stage.

    The problem is that most Foo Fighter fans have such pride and arrogance with their band that they feel insulted and threatened if someone say that they were influenced by another band "like" Rush. It's "benieth" foo fighters. For some reason.

  • i was talking about coheed and cambris, not the foo fighters. I just hate people sayin that coheed and cambria are trying to copy rush, because they aren't. Both bands have a singer with a really high voice thats about it.

  • fuck yeah, anyone that wants to play Rush should be able to, the music is simply brilliant and should be shared.

  • i dont follow what this video has anything to do with anything about the bands other than very little information thats somewhat useless and a possibly misinterpreted line

  • i remember an interview where Claudio said he was influenced by band his father like: the police, zeppelin, rush, and pink floyd and like older music.

  • Claudio said he never listened to rush...no-one in the band has listened to rush, yet people always compare them...wtf? they said this the second night of their Neverender in Chicago, so...

  • i got ametal hammer magazine and claudio said he was heavily influenced by rush and other bands such as led zepplin and pink floyd

  • haha.

    its funny how one statement cause's all this crap on youtube....

  • HOLY SHIT! people sarcasm is a language learn it, live it, love it. and yes obviously taylor was just being sarcastic damn. also coheed didn't even start to listen to rush until after about year after the cd came out that had the song 21:13. and that was never it's official title. it was song 23 with 11 blanks songs in between. get over it

  • an addition song was named 21:13 cause that was the time Coheed Kilgannon got of work and got the message from Mayo Deftinwolf.

  • Well then you've got your balls and tool placed in a really odd position.

    Claudio has stated before that he barely even had heard of Rush when they released In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3

    anyways :D

    Good day, sir

  • wow this video is reli retarded, seeing that taylor was obviously being sarcastic

  • Taylor Hawkins is the biggest Peart fan ever, as he stated in loads of interviews. It's not like he's stealing anything to make money out of it, he's just into it for fun. He's not Coldplay after all.

  • cunt.

  • dumb reporter talks about ripping off rush... pffffffff

    id take coheed over rush anyday

  • he loves rush and people took that wayyy to literal

  • Pretty Sure He Was Being Sarcastic :P

  • Man, I love RUSH best band eva, no wonder they maybe ripping them off!

  • Lead singer is pretty good...for a fry guy.

  • oh come now, living in your parents basement future serial killers, its time to step out feel that cool wind running through your hair and for real get some lives call a girl work out that agression and pretty please chill the fuck out.

  • why is everyone hating on coheed. they hadnt even listened to rush until they were being compared to them. i mean rush are fine. they annoy me a bit. but coheed give homage to all there favorite bands.

    iron maide

    led zep

    pink floyd

    rush did get a form of dedication on there second album. with there song 2113. obv homage through the title.

    and your kidding. slash? shud probly get ur head checked.

  • dude just for clarity, i saw an interview with claudio and the song is called 2113 coz of the story and he had never even heard the rush song 2112 before writing that.

  • dude, i saw an interview also that he gets the idea of 21:13 song title from rush song 2112...

    i think before IKSSE3 was released Claudio decided to name it 21:13..

  • no, youre wrong, it has to do with the story

    NONE OF THEM WERE EVEN FANS OF RUSH!!!

  • I think Taylor liked Rush, but im not sure = P

  • yeah but taylor isnt part of the band so its irrelevant, he didnt even write the drum parts, claudio sanchez and chris pennie did, he was associated with them musically for about 8 weeks, thats it

  • look at a few more interviews mate. they say they didnt listen to rush but when they was doing IKSSE3 people kept tellin them they sound like Rush, so they had a listen and DID do a play on names with 21:13 as too 2112, but made it part of the story. the time the poison was given to Matthew and Mariah i think.

    do some background checks before making comments

  • ive done many backround checks, and id really like to know where you found that out, so could you please tell me, because i highly doubt thats true

  • Wrong there sorry (:

    First of all, 21:13 Wasn't even the title of the song at first, it was a hidden unnamed track. Second, The title 21:13 is referring to the story behind all coheed and cambria songs. In the story, Claudios family is slaughtered while He's out with his girlfriend..at 21:13.

    So hush (:

  • 21:13 is about a dream Claudio K has. About what he would've done if he came home on time. Josephine is slaughtered because Coheed has the Monstar virus. Josephine is one of Coheed and Cambria's daughters. The other being Maria, which he killed. As well as Matthew.

  • Way to confirm exactly what i just said (:

  • Neil Peart is the best drummer ever.

  • He's obviously giving Rush and Neil mad props. Search youtube for Taylor Hawkins drumming yyz with Alex and Geddy you'll see what I mean.

  • Coheed and Cambria did NOT rip off rush, they dont even like rush very much! Talor may have but not the rest of the band. So wat if Claudio's (the poofy hair guitar player/singer) has a high voice? that doesn't mean they are ripping of rush

  • What song is this

  • The song in the beginning is Everything Evil

  • I love Rush , but what about the guitar player imitating Slash's hairdo?.....

  • I don't think you can pin blame on recessive genes for copying a hairdo.

  • No, I call the copycat hairdo to make him be a lookalike to gain popoularity is foolish...

  • What are you, twelve?

  • Claudio sounds nothing like Geddy. I'm a Rush fan, I've heard his voice alot, I should know.

  • its ridiculous how if a band sounds at all like a classic rock band there riping them off.

  • hate that guys hair, but taylor hawkins is awesome

  • taylor sounds exactly like dave grohl in this video

  • thats his side project

  • that actually isn't his side project, his side project is called Taylor Hawkins and the Cocktail Riders. This is like how Dave Grohl drummed for Queens of the Stone Age on the Songs for the Deaf album, he is just a guest drummer.

  • Coattail.
