Wow this is godly. Drummer nailed it hard

[joshcop69]

I realize this vid is 2.5 years old, but I still gotta say it: AWESOME.

Most Rush covers, including La Villa done by other bands, I tune out or cancel after a minute or two tops. This one had me watching the whole time.

Open mike night? If it were my dime renting the place, after these guys played, I'd tell everyone else to just go home, because it won't get any better than this!

Lastly, I think I need to try and book my band here as the most unusual & best-sounding hall ever. Loved the reverb!

[anotherluckyclover]

kudos to the drummer definately. and wow the guitar and bass was superb. nice cover.

[doyle30]

why is there chairs?

[guitarguy93]

for sit.

[doyle30]

are you trying to say "for sitting"? Because if so i don't remember the last time i sat at a show.

[guitarguy93]

no... i was just using the same type of grammar you were.

I think you meant "Why are there chairs?"

Why else would they have chairs?

[doyle30]

Well if you want to correct grammatical mistakes, maybe you should have said, "I think you mean, "Why are there chairs?".

[greenespltd]

i meant to click reply, but i hit remove oOPS! this was an open micc with people singing songs with banjos and girls fingerpicking acousticc

[petercheeser]

Everybody sitting there must have been freaking out. I'll bet most of them have never heard the original song. Nice job for all of you. Highschool age? Drummer really pulled it off especially considering the kit he had. Amazing.

[ugotpimp]

awesome with good mics youd sound pretty kick ass for sure !!

[thefakenet]

Aside from the poor audio quality (we can't all be rich) and very minor timing issues (in play). NAILED IT!

[Dynagirl08]

Wow, you guys nailed it! Wish I had been in Richmond that night, hope I find you somewhere else around Vermont soon!

[rabrrrrrr]

Holy power of Alex, that is incredible!! I'm a Rush fan of 30+ years, and of all the videos on Youtube I've recently watched of covers of La Villa, yours is not only the best - it is, all on it's own, totally frakking incredible!!

Seriously.

And I love that, instead of just copying the guitar solos note for note, you made the solos your own - and they're all wonderful.

Kudos to the drummer - holy God! You are awesome!

I hope you keep up the music and also do your own thing. You amaze. Truly.

[gggea3]

WOW! This is better than the version on Exit... Stage Left! Wait, what's that, significantly worse? Sorry, it's a decent effort though.

[Torrello13]

WTF! I've been working on this song for years, when t'm at my best the drums and bass are lacking and vice versa. Very nice, some of the solo work was clearly original. That disapointed me a little but thats my tastes.

[faningo276]

Great work, great song. Lots of personality in this song

[Skibble5150]

Impressive guys! Great job!

Salutations from Montreal!

[9showdonttell1]

the begining sucked

[luvthecanadian]

and?

[Teuras666]

awesome

[AnubisXII]

Holy crap. This has got to be the best one yet. Very well done. And that's a library? Man. My kind of library. Theres so much more room without all them wordy things.

Books. Yeah. And pay no attention to Mr.Frownypants. The solo was great.

Oh... Is that an ESP Mirage, or are just happy to rock me?

[TwisTEDFaTeie]

man this solo is a tragedy to musicianship.. What the hell man.. wow poor Alex if he knew someone would play this crap over his masterpiece he probably would of shot himself

[burningxdimx]

no matter how bad it was, a guitarist as good as Lerxst would still incourage him

[sjfalcon2001]

That was quite the cover. The solos weren't perfect, but they showed great artistic license and they did fit the song fairly well, so nice job!!

[rimshot63]

Very nice guys! Really good job on a difficult song to play. There are so many bad videos of song covers on this site that I was prepared for the worse. You left me impressed. It must have been great live - Thanks
