Cygnus & the Seamonsters - Hemispheres - Paul Gilbert / Mike Portnoy [Part 1/2]

[Zackathor]

the singer does very well! i would like to hear any of you do a geddy lee!

[Dannymusic1999]

The singer is o.k but...... hum.. another would better.

[maurorocks213]

where is Sean Malone? Put it in the title! D:

[Groovywaves11]

@maurorocks213 I agree!! 

[couch63]

thoroughly enjoyed it

[Slipperman2112]

Maestro sean malone!!!!

[lelobm]

SONZEIRA!

[cygnus53]

The song was going great until the "singer" opened his yap. I didn't even make it as far as..."every soul a battlefield....he might work better in an Iron Maiden tribute band cause he sure as $**t can't sing Geddy Lee from 78. The only singer I've found that is close to the "original" is Arnel Pineda who replaced Steve Perry in Journey.

[vomithor]

I think that these guys are maybe the only one in the whole f***ing world that can play this song almost in his perfection!!! ...who else can??? Sheehan, Castronovo, Petrucci maybe ...I don't know.

[Slipperman2112]

Increible!!!

[andreana2112]

Dear singer,  Stop.

[MRguitarman8]

@andreana2112 This should be the top comment!!! ahahahahaha sooooo jks

[FelixVelasquez74]

They sound just like Rush... perfect cover.

[Dragonsbaynn]

This is cool man. good to see other musos playing Rush stuff, even though they are famous.

[ZeppelinRules]

Fact:  No one sounds like RUSH but RUSH. That's why they're RUSH.

[mrpants1971]

All those great players and that's who you get to sing? Weird.

[Scarecrow6459]

@mrpants1971 I thought he sang it well. I usually ceinge at some Rush covers bcuz of the voice but this guy is hitting the notes and sounds okay.

[Intelligentia100]

Malone is the best one in the band (and that is saying something). Not as great as Rush's original version (especially vocal wise), but it was spectacular nonetheless.

[Adol333]

@Intelligentia100 Nah Paul Gilbert is the best.

[Intelligentia100]

@Adol333 Cool.  But Paul Gilbert is overrated.

[winrar]

@Intelligentia100

damn rly? just curious--why do you think he's overrated? never heard that before haha

[Intelligentia100]

@winrar Well, I find him a good player, I just find that he as a musician and his style is overdone... no offense to him, but he and his style is overdone.

Sorry for my resonse, it took my an hour to write this because I am intoxicated.

[DennChooch]

@Intelligentia100 his style is overdone--but it's his style. he's been copied alot of times. paul is an amazing guitarist, he deserves more credit than he is given. same goes for alex lifeson btw.

[Intelligentia100]

@DennChooch This I can agree with, Lifeson is one of the most creative guitarists alive, and paul is a good player, I just think Sean Malone is the best one here (this is due to the fact I am a fretless bassist myself)

[Adol333]

@Intelligentia100 Nah, people saying something is overrated in internet are overrated.

[mitchwheelz]

I swear I heard this song on the radio one day when I was on a road trip in U.S

[BlackdogRDC]

The singer is Jason McMaster from Dangerous Toys.

[ErrorMacros]

@BlackdogRDC  from WATCHTOWER

[BlackdogRDC]

@ErrorMacros He was in both bands yes Watchtower first, but MOST people would know him from Dangerous Toys that's why I said Dangerous Toys instead of Watchtower. He is now the singer for Texas based band Broken Teeth.

[TheOneMcGio]

Who's the singer?

[Ryu12543]

I think the bassline is even greater than the guitar in this song. Still very glad to see Paul Gilbert play Rush, and it's not even one of their known songs. Love him.

[bigolekern]

@Ryu12543 If you know Rush, you know this song. They aren't exactly a top 40 band after all, they're an album rock band.

[Ryu12543]

@bigolekern This is my favorite song of all time. I meant how it's not one of their hits like Limelight or Tom Sawyer. I kinda like how these songs don't get as much attention though because I like the sense of isolation. When I find someone who actually knows it, it's so exciting.

[bigolekern]

@Ryu12543 True nuff. That kind of knowlege separates the Rush-o-philes from the posers.

[nosamcuminhand1]

@Ryu12543 yea not kown but way better than all their known

[Veradoradehon]

That was awesome! LOVE RUSH and Dream Theater, and Cygnus and the Seamonsters! ! ! :)

[babystinky]

the music was unbelievable. so was the vocals, but for a different reason:)

[birolha]

9:03 I LOVE THIS RIFF  !!!!

[quantiquefilms]

That's what we call a good cover band!

[slashvanhalen236]

i feel enveous of the people who acctualy went to this show

[couch63]

I love it but...

why do they have to play everything at breakneck speed ?

thanks for the upload!

[chimpvancleef]

@couch63 You sir, are a moron!

[couch63]

@chimpvancleef Thank you sir may I have another !

[13raptorman22]

@couch63 it just them trying to keep up to the genious of RUSH

[yvesmancera]

Amazing cover, except for the vocals, Sean Malone may play as good as Geddy Lee but no one can sing a Rush song like himself.

[starsky2112]

Awesome ;-)

[Billerd21]

I'm not a fan of this singer's high range :/ sounds like he's straining himself.

[ryan62791]

This really only has 400 views? Well i guess it's only been a little over a month but still. I wanna find Cygnusx-1 as well

[Neil2112]

They are a little more then a tribute band lol. Thank you for posting however. Gilbert and Portnoy are 2 of the very best.

[shredfaster]

awesome upload!
