[mytemight]

!984 Irvine meadows,wife was 8 months pregant with my daughter, it seems signals was imbedded in her engrams!! and 28 years later she can still sing every word off the album!!!

[calypso3able]

Monster musicians! Amazing how geddy can sing those complicated lyrics and still shred that Fender bass.

[777butch777]

I'm not a big Rush fan, but this song is awesome!

[labbric]

It's from the Grace Under Pressure DVD, from their 1984 tour.

[JodyRugby]

Absolutely amazing how this band summed up the human condition in 4 minutes while making a great song. Can't think of another song like it. Anybody heard something comparable? Regardless cheers to Rush!

[barnabas50]

Had to get my daily fix of a Rush video before i go to work.

[fendergibs]

Rush's only top 40 song to date

[labbric]

@fendergibs You should do some research before you sound like a dumbass

[fendergibs]

@labbric what? they only have 1 top 40 song, what research is needed. If they have another one lets u know. why r u saying that ? U didnt know that? not my fault you're an idiot

[taxisgay12]

Great song and a mild expose on the NWO

[SalvvOrtiz]

No sabia que Roberto Carlos ahora toca con Rush!

[ambersansone]

this song gives me chills makes my heart race awesome work Rush!!!!!!!!

[superunt43]

Only top 40 hit? As if this is even a material question for these 3 guys. Arguably 1 of the best bands ever to grace us mere mortals with their presence. Top 40? Are you guys shitting me? Apologies, but top 40? Really, this is how you judge RUSH? Oh my, we are doomed, are we not?

[barnabas50]

@superunt43 My thoughts also.

[fendergibs]

@superunt43 it just a fact, its not a character flaw with the band. most rush fans would just assume they had more, just a rush trivia, not sure why u reacted to simple fact about the band.

[superunt43]

@fendergibs I react to any fact regarding Rush, my apologies, me busy, what I say?

[nategerard]

Perfect to share with all my friends on my birthday! Love the song and the fact that this was shot in the 80's - the perfect decade for so many reasons!

[vivian2gin]

I'm 50 and I've Never been to rock show EVER!!! I know, it's wierd. I graduated in 79', right in the middle of Rush, the Police, Boston, Journey, ZZ TOP, Foreigner, Heart and the list goes on and on. And I never went to a single show... And now they want 50 bucks for nose-bleed seats and I can't afford it. SAD SAD SAD

[baphomet257]

He's old enough to know what's right but young enough not to choose it....

[tuvokzeta9]

Props to the Steinberger L2 and the Tele that Alex plays... this is some history kids...

and well... Neil... just being Neil... Peace and RUSH!

[baroose67]

@tuvokzeta9 I bought a Steinberger L2 back in the day because of Geddy playing this one when I had long hair and was skinny. No more hair and no more skinny but I still got the bass! And to beat all the thing never loses tune.

[pulsejetable]

BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!!

[jless15]

I have been too a few Rush concerts worth every penny and some i love the drums on this.

[1ManArmyOfDisease]

geddy's nose!

[bleuwig]

he speaks of humanity

[CrazyNative4]

dude this is cool !

[hmurrieta]

I like this song, awesome!

[Impster7799]

This is actually a really good live version

[mikeweit]

lifeson on a tele, chewing bubblegum, making faces, irking geddy in a funny way. AMAZING!

[theratfarmer]

you dont like rats? lol.

[mitchwheelz]

Ohh god, I just noticed Neil's rat tail. Gross.

[dtoliaferro]

@mitchwheelz What did you expect? This is the 80's after all.

[controlburn]

Love the drum kit.

[perpetual61]

Rush The Best Band to Come Out of Canada.

[NerdPowah]

30 years have gone by from this recording, they still nail this...

[bgzlvsdmb]

Neil Peart rockin' the rat-tail. But because it's Neil Peart, it instantly makes my hairstyle look like crap.

[rbilleaud]

I don't think I've ever seen Geddy play a Steinberger before. That's different.

[alembicbassguy]

@rbilleaud Geddy used the Steinberger on the "Grace under Pressure" recording & also on the subsequent tour. He commented at the time that he really liked the different low end that the Steinberger gave him as opposed to the Rick & Jazz bass that he had used extensively unitl that point. After this tour he switched to the Wal bass!

[burningxdimx]

@alembicbassguy He also liked the Stein because he couldn't hit the headstock on the keyboard if he spun around too fast.

[djamo1969]

Music must really suck these days when I see all these comments pertaining to how great '80s music was. Sure, Rush has always been great, but really? Poison? Faster Pussycat? Kix? Winger? Motley Crue when they went soft? I graduated in 1988 and there was a lot of crap out then as well some good stuff. That says a lot about contemporary music, I guess.

[schafn]

Ah, the 80's Geddy voice. So pure.

[connorbassplayer]

this song is about AMERICA, and how it evolves into what it is today (or at least at that time) not about a real man.

[RapIsDeadly]

I can't get over how much sound these 3 band members put out.  Just like ELP.

[ecapa0020]

NO-ONE IS TRASHING RUSH NOW! BUT US LOYAL FANS KNEW THAT THEY WERE FANTASTIC DECADES AGO DIDN'T WE?! TIME PROVES IT!

[simplegrl11589]

@ecapa0020 they still are just as good !

[sawiola55]

80's !

[BigBadGreenGuy]

You know as a kid growing up in Canada in the early 80's, I never understood why some of my older friends were so into these guys. As I got a little older, I realized why they had such appeal. What a great band.

[TheZombieRitual]

These guys are awesome live. They play everything flawlessly. Just saw them on the Time Machine Tour last month. I am definitely seeing them next time they will be touring. Amazing show!

[RUSH1200]

Martha Quinn on Siriusxm 80son8 Satellite Radio Called RUSH a GINORMASS BAND With the only TOP 40 HIT For Rush "NEW WORLD MAN". Is Martha Quinn Correct?

[bluesagg]

@RUSH1200 It's true.

[SIKK01]

@RUSH1200

I do believe she is correct. This is Rush's highest charting US single to date.

[alembicbassguy]

Geddy Lee is the most talented rock bassist of all time. He makes Gene Simmons look foolish.

[lifeson241]

@alembicbassguy  yupperr !!

[bcp987]

Rush for hall of fame

[mrmarriottsgirl]

why do people trash this band? Never understood. Amazing musical abiltiy, tight friendship, never heard of Geddy et all busted for hard drugs etc, insightful lyrics & a sense of fun too! The definiton of a BAND & class act for over 30 yrs. How many US ROCK bands can say that? btw am from US but always prefered UK Commonwealth rock over ours since bout '67. We can like who we like & still see the show can't we? Just my opinion but people who trash Rush are missin' out.

[dhg1013]

@mrmarriottsgirl

Got to agree with you,one of the coolest,cleanest bands ever...been a fan since the first album with Rutsey...And then came Neil...these guys talents are phenomenal~!

[mrmarriottsgirl]

@dhg1013 Yeah - Rush is just so underated it's crazy. But then that's coo, it makes them even more cool cause mainstream Americans don't get this band & stupid classic rock stations don't help by playing 2 or 3 Rush songs over & over albeit hit's off Moving Pictures etcare classics I love to go back to 2112 & Fly By Night plus their recent stuff is amazing! yup I am on the same page with ya here - the newest DVD/documentary release from llast year (?) is excellent to watch & own also. TA!

[Gaffhart77]

Song is effing brilliant. The best thing to ever come out of Toronto, Ontario!!

[ZackHodgson]

I love RUSH. This is one of their best songs ever along with Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta and many others.

[haden267]

Geddy and neil and alex RULE!!!

[Surwin]

They look sharp, totally in their prime and at the top of their game.

[ZackHodgson]

This is such a great song! Rush is great!

[mminer58]

Great drumming!

[SummersideFaeri]

OMG geddy!...your totally a geekster!...awwwww!(: how sweet...jeesh your still a geek...tho.. rock on man!,,(:

[PeeceSells]

@coronakicker getty? wow. thats awful that 1 u r bashing rush. and 2 u cant spell a simple name. G-E-D-D-Y just so you dont make the mistake again

[EdMcStinko]

Signals is such a good album

[drfreezepop]

IT'S ABOUT SILICON LIFE!!!! - Ie "Radio Reciver of world and Cleaning Up His Systems To Keep His Life Pure"

OR THE RUSSAINS - Ie "Posion with no cure" = T2

[ToneChaser4Life]

Can I get a little more volume on those pants?

[kmonster420]

mullets and zubas!

[GhosterAndRush35]

awesome song!!!!!!!XP

[madgameman1]

Sabians all the way!

[hthjason]

This song is allegory relating to the USA's position in the world. Chillingly, New World Man takes on a more sinister tone then at the time they wrote it.

[foxsneeker]

rush 4 life

[mundoyerba]

geddy lee seems roberto carlos XDDD

awesome RUUUUUSHHHHH !!!!

[XanaduNintendo156]

LOL! Look at Alex chewing his gun. Ha! Awesome 80's. :D

[simplegrl11589]

@XanaduNintendo156 alex can chew on my bubble gum anytime hahaha... tmi sry ( :

[timdoog42]

Geddys jammin with that Stienberger stick and Alex is just having fun. so cool

[buddaman1260]

[turfguy87]

LOOOOVE the bass licks on this song

[CrazyNative4]

[BeatleMonkeegirl15]

[HIVisaLIE]

@BeatleMonkeegirl15 hi Monkey girl

[BeatleMonkeegirl15]

@HIVisaLIE hello :)

[alexlifeson4pres]

Best rock voice ever.

[Spaztic7778]

Neal Peart has an epic drum set

[joshcop608]

I thought it was Tama ArtStars at the time............ never heard of epic drums.

[valimar77]

Hes a radio receiver

Tuned to factories and farms

Hes a writer and arranger

And a young boy bearing arms

Hes got a problem with his power

With weapons on patrol

Hes got to walk a fine line

And keep his self-control

[121keys121]

is there a better version of this song on youtube?

[AirbrushRocks]

If you are asking if there is a music video instead of a live version, I'm not sure. I think this is a pretty good version tho :P

[jaymanxyz2]

Yeah, I like it.

[moknbyrd]

@AirbrushRocks Not sure if this counts as an official music video. It's "live" but pay attention, in between songs, you hear the audience noise looped. As thoughthe folks didn't make enough noise so they looped in filler. If only that one guy had not whistled when he did, you'd never notice. *LOL* And the whole thing feels staged (No pun intended). But don't get me wrong. I LOVE this Laserdisc! (Yes. I'm old. *LOL*) And it IS a great concert. + Big Money video at the end.

[HIVisaLIE]

@121keys121 check

[dickiefickle]

@121keys121 did you look ?

[121keys121]

@dickiefickle bud, i wrote that comment over a year ago. i found what i was looking for later that day

[sneezyize]

@121keys121 I think unfortunately finding a music video for this song, which was Rush's only Top 40 hit on Billboard Magazine's HOT 100 charts, and also a better video of them live, will be a futile search. Don't know why there might not be a better live version, although this is very good -- will agree with AirbrushRocks. But the reason behind no music video made for this is, if I recall from being 19-years old at the time, because Rush's then record company didn't think this song would be

[sneezyize]

@sneezyize the hit single from Signals, instead they thought that Subdivisions would be the hit for Rush from that lp.

[121keys121]

@sneezyize cooooooooooool mannnnnnnnnnnn :/

[loudmusic67]

I still think it is funny everytime I watch this video. He is wearing zoombaz! Oh Well.

[spatchycat]

what drum company id neal using here??pearl???

[paolosilv]

People who trash RUSH don't know what they're talking about.

[HernanZitoZin]

maravilhoso..santíssima trindade do rock

[Chris641340]

Look how much fun they're having man, making jokes and still playing perfect, true professionals.

[hireclaw22]

kinda,

Alex Lifeson looks like suc ha candian at the begining

[mormonmilitia]

Does Geddy Lee remind anybody else of John Lennon?

[gnoam9]

I've a relative who looks like him.

[loudmusic67]

Wow, I sure hope you are just comparing looks? You do know that Geddy Lee dosen't write RUSH's music? I'm not saying that Lee is not talented he is that's for sure. But looks wise you're right he dose remind me a little of John Lennon.(Just a little)

[priapus]

Um Lee and Lifeson DO write the music; Peart writes the lyrics and performs on drums. Lee sometimes wears the same style of spectacles that Lennon used to, and on those occasions he does put Lennon in mind.

[Chris641340]

What are you talking about, Geddy and Alex write the music, Neil writes the beats and lyrics. Geddy's a genius. The Beatles are legends for sure but I'd take Rush over them any day. Just my personal preference.

[buddaman1260]

i am with you for sure!!for me nobody is better than rush!

[mrmarriottsgirl]

why do people trash this band? Never understood. Amazing musical abiltiy, tight friendship, never heard of Geddy et all busted for hard drugs etc, insightful lyrics & a sense of fun too! Truly the definiton of a BAND & class act for over 30 yrs. How many US ROCK bands can say that? btw I'm from US but always prefered UK Commonwealth rock over ours since bout '67. Pls don't hate on me, it's my opinion. We can like who we like & still see the show can't we? People who trash Rush are missin' out.

[mormonmilitia]

well, a lot of hard-core Rush fans are some pretty pretentious douchebags. The members of the band, themselves are way more laid back than a lot of bands with half the talent.

[sheracad]

my favorite for 20 years...do they still tour?

[cygnuxman]

YEAH OF COURSE

they came to indy like 10 months ago

[koolizm1000]

3 sick musicians no doubt about it, and live they dont miss a thing

[geoffck1969]

"We gotta get those fuckin' RUSH tickets, Ricky!" Bubbles

[stinkbomb13]

you know what a shit hawk is bubs?

[Lowrider68]

I greens for this show at MLG. It was my first Rush show - I was at the Friday night show. I've seen them 9xs.

[lucifersam9]

Fuck, that Geddy makes that incredible bass playing look effortless. What a great musician!

[JewlietA]

This possibly the best video on here featuring this song - thanks for posting!

[RCAvhstape]

Around the time Signals was released was when I was really starting to dig Rush, with Tom Sawyer and all. First Rush concert was Grace Under Pressure tour 1984, gi-hugic fan ever since. Thanks for posting this!
