Rush Natural Science

[virdy65]

The most endangered spiecies , the honest man . it has stood out as the most important line in that song .

[FalcaOaclaF]

For me this song started prog metal

[plytanachi]

Seen all tours in UK from Signals onwards and only seen the guys perform Natural Science once but wow, will never forget it, best ever memory of any live music ever. Cant think of another band that could nail something like this live.

[funky1325]

listening to rush since in the womb. haven't regretted a single second of it.

[nev594]

Watching Rush play this live with a goup of your friends+proper herbal medication=good time!

[Apockiller]

9 people have no souls

[silvana1985]

@Apockiller 9 people know nothing about music.

[MoPower2112]

1-2-1-2-1-2-3 ahahahahah 7/8 time

[TheSnareguitar]

@MoPower2112 hahahaha! Who doesn't count it this way?

[MrHydrogoon]

@TheSnareguitar me, punk ass.

[TheSnareguitar]

@MrHydrogoon Thanks, troll. :)

[canyousmellicansmell]

Any hows...RIP Andrew MacNaughton....

[PETESEYESBLUE]

The definition of a nigger is a black person who is filty,Not just criminal,dirty and other demeaning terms.Reffering to STYX ,Merely stating what some others have posted with regards to rap and the affiliation of raping,killing,10 on 1 fights.The name Styx is his nickname going back 32 years when Jamaicans were rostas,And African Americans were not recognised as such.Simply stating that is what all black people are called to a racist and a racist does not worry or care about the difference

[zosojimmy1]

funny how this song has comments about racism lol there are more racist videos out there but this is the kicker. even tho it has nothing to do with racism :) pple are crazy, good to kno i'm not the only insane 1 here

[priamyvate]

on my ipod neil's bass drum is too fast! What a drummer

[beelzabubba]

"...tide after tide will flow and recede... leaving life to go on as it was...."

[Itsmyfault2011]

For all the critics,.........ALL your taste is in your mouth! Rush IS,.& always have been the 3 most complex (Musicly), & entertaining musicians ever! Wish you had a bit of thier taland, success, or indurance.

[leonidaskat1]

THANKS FOR YOUR EXISTENCE----------TOP SYNTHESIS, VOICE, KEYBOARDS, BASS, DRUMS, GUITARS, PERCUTIONS,

[twil626]

those pedals are heavy!

[twil626]

pearts quick triples is an awesome fill!

[Rythmbot]

Goddam. If you're thinking about getting into drugs, don't. Just get this album, and 2112, and you're set.

[throathammer1]

@Rythmbot dude! no lie there! its cheaper, and no jail time if you get caught with the album.

[Ignore14]

this song is intense shit

[jerrythepotato1919]

Now I don't need to continue taking science :D

[xxxGreaseMonkeyxxx]

Rush is GOD.

[BloodHarvest21]

2:21 sounds like a part of sacrificed sons by Dream theater! this song is amazing btw

[MrGamerBazer]

@BloodHarvest21 well dream theater are awsome and rush are a huge influence on them. You can tell in Johns guitar playing :P

[RetroCalgary]

There needs to be a 8-bit version of this song. Rad!

[PETESEYESBLUE]

Play this epic for the E.T.S.Bet They Won't Want A War With Our World

[canyousmellicansmell]

This is poor to the live version oh my god was amazing wen i saw it snakes and arrows....Ooo down below look.......an interesting fight....hehehe quick or my popcorn will run out!

[Ignore14]

this song is very proggy.

[LifeUnderTheSwatter]

Head Phones+Natural Science+Drugs=Good time

[JFMatador]

@LifeUnderTheSwatter yeah man tylenol and this is bliss.

[Kkrouton]

One of the greatest songs ever written. Period.

[SenorSpode]

9 people who disliked this video must also be tamed...

[mynameisdotas]

I've listened to this song at least 20 times in the past three days, and it never ceases to amaze me how great Rush is.

[TheCorwing]

their wold is fashion? I always thought/felt facits was what was s

aid/felt.

[sooner3153]

Fighting and name-calling are bad form. Why would you ever do that-beats me.

[jonnyasprin]

@sooner3153 It's natural science.

[gnirtsix]

Time after time we all lose sight of the way

Our causes can't see their effects!

Science like nature, must also be tame.

[streets2112]

9 people are superior cynics

[SenorSpode]

@streets2112 I'd say they're rather inferior, but that's just me...

[nathanandpayton12345]

and long, but not as long as 2112

[nathanandpayton12345]

holy! great song

[bassmanjoe]

9 PEOPLE THINK THE SONG ROLL THE BONES IS BETTER.....;-)

[cr03971]

...living in their pools, they soon forget about the Sea...

[lifesonfan]

9 people's causes couldn't see their effects..

[MrJonny333031]

some niggers must have hit the dislike button....in my opinion

[gmorton1000]

@MrJonny333031 Fuck you--Im black & proud & I LOVE Rush--Neil Peart is 1 of the best drummers & a big influence--Music has no color

[MrJonny333031]

@gmorton1000 I'm sorry that you are mad at me but it must of had been a fifty cent lover that gave my rush a thumbs down. And I'm right only a nigger would give rush a thumbs down,you are black my friend and not a nigger look up the definition.

[gmorton1000]

@MrJonny333031 --apology accepted

[DarkEyesofSorrow]

@gmorton1000 fuck the haters. Glad you're part of the family

[desertrat198]

@gmorton1000 The color thing depends on what drugs/alcohol/food combo they tried and threw back up.

[NexeusPariah]

@gmorton1000 amen brother. Color has nothing to do with sound

[TheSnareguitar]

@gmorton1000 Hell yeah!

[chibosco]

@gmorton1000 AMEN to that!



[1962mikie]

@gmorton1000 -i went to the basement to hear rush on my dads 4000 watt outdoor loudspeakers...well after a half hour the door breaks open and the cops came in and disarmed my steroe and said..'what the fu^% are you doing kidd? "experimenting with sound sir!!! "Enough son or we take away your speakers !!No!!! after they left i found the mirror was broke and the doggs fled to the closet to escape the quake and horror of the frequencies that destroy!!so, son what did you do while we went out ?duh!

[dante224real1]

@gmorton1000 then why say your black? human beings period should like rush.

[PETESEYESBLUE]

@MrJonny333031 Excuse the term you seem to be ignorant of this fact I know a guy who plays drums.His nickname is STYX,to put it boldly he was the best nigger or for that matter.The best drummer I had ever seen besides the the bands of today or yesteryear.Styx could play just about anything and was always in demand for backup.Have not seen him since 1992.But in 79 he was considered one of the best in Rexdale.If he reads this I say never mind these ignorants Phil Styx Case.

[MrJonny333031]

@PETESEYESBLUE sir your friend STYX is a drummer not some gang banger. A man of that intelligence [who could play rush] would never let himself nor other people lable him as a nigger nor would I. I'm talking about gang bangers and black people that want to lower there intelligence to people who sell drugs and kill there own kind in the street. If you knew the defintion of a nigger you would have saved us both some time in responding to each other...in my opinion

[PETESEYESBLUE]

@MrJonny333031 I responded to your quote.I should remind you that living near Jamestown in Rexdale as well the Jane and Finch Corridor in the seventies and early eighties is that the answer you are looking for because now i live near Detroit.I also have many black friends and they know that term very well and are glad they are not what u suggest i know nothing about

[LifeUnderTheSwatter]

I need to get some gooooood head phones and then listen to this song....while I'm saving money for gooooooood headphones, I'll listen to this song.

[TiramisuHappy]

@3:53 mark

One of my all-time favorite drum fills by the professor.

[petedarby1970]

i kind of have a confession here......firstly Rush are the best band of all time.....secondly, bear in mind i was a teenager at the time, was it wrong that i used to wank alot to the picture of that girl ??

[PETESEYESBLUE]

@petedarby1970 Well i would not tell the ladies that but there is a panty shot ahh what did i just say

[MrSJL72]

@petedarby1970 Nice piece of honesty there.. What does lyrics say about honest man..

Hope so.

[cleveroonie]

@petedarby1970 lo

[cleveroonie]

@cleveroonie lol (missed an L out

[desertrat198]

those 8 people who don't like this song.....hmm, lets see, the words that come to mind:

buffoons

cretins

slack jawed mouth breathers...There, that should cover it.

[ninjadud232]

This is the type of song that is needed to be listened to with the speakers cranked!

[Mroyy12345]

Thousands of years ago the aliens came to the egyptians and taught them mathematics and physics like they had never comprehended. About forty years ago, three jewish aliens returned to our planet to teach us something new: music, music as we had never imagined. They were called Rush

[imagesandturds]

the groove at 2:22 sounds exactly like the groove at 0:47 in the song in the presence of enemies part 1 by dream theater

[brad159506]

@imagesandturds

rush was their biggest influence

[eltorocal]

@brad159506 Rush is "one" of their "major" influences... they were & still are influenced by '60's, '70's & '80's style of Pink Floyd, Yes and Queen... into the long, instrumental albums. John P. has even mentioned "Frank Zappa" as influence.

[9rugbyroy]

Correction,,,,,,,, (SWEET MEAT)!  LOL!

[9rugbyroy]

Oh and (SWEAT MEAT)!

[9rugbyroy]

I'm 40 and i have seen them when i was a teenager in the 80s . To young to see in the 70s but older brothers bought the albums for me. Thanks to K-she 95 ST.LOUIS MO.

[dpchiko17]

I got an eargasm I think... I discovered Rush with my dad, a big fan a them, thank you

[Mroyy12345]

@dpchiko17 you aren't alone--we are ALL having eargasms. (except those poor, sexually deprived 8 losers on the short end of the like bar

[fatsmut]

@Mroyy12345 lol well said...

[Randomguy547]

This song is better than all of Moving Pictures Combined for general WOW value

[hottkts]

I have been a diehard, loyal , MAJOR fanatic since 1982, saw them on the

Signals tour in March 1983 as as 14 year old and 39 more times since....

Fellow Rusheads, those of the faith we are priviledged to be graced with

this most excellent music and band! Enjoy them while you can, see multiple

shows on the upcoming tour in 2012!

[PillowTickler]

at 1:46 you say ahhh shit here we go

[1977lastresort]

cool!!!!

[themonroes4]

Rush is the best band ever to walk the face of the planet. You're right Rowdyrecords55 :)

[dragotamer68]

IF RUSH WERE IN "THE MATRIX" THEIR MUSIC WOULD HAVE OVERLOADED THE MACHINES AND WE WOULD HAVE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davecoleman2k5]

WUEEN



[cpmaniac]

@davecoleman2k5 WUEEN is great! i love their hit- Wohemian Whapsody! But this is a Wush song, So let's stick to Watural Wcience

[wesselbindt]

@cpmaniac

Oh, come on, don't be so warsh on the wuy...

[BassistFive52]

We need to give other music 102 years til they will be near as good as them. 2112 is the year other music will get close to there skill level

[SuperSnowdog69]

This is the stuff we need to keep alive like the beatles, hey they may not be the beatles but their body of work over the years is QUALITY and no one can dispute that HUH

[ujui6]

I love the permanet waves part

[tomasg851]

to quote rush on the sate of music today

" superior cynics

Who dance to a synthetic band.

In their own image,

Their world is fashion.

No wonder they don't understand"

[eltorocal]

@tomasg851 Careful quoting bands on the 'state' of music, or expression through lyrics. I'v been a RUSH Fan since I was 11(I'm 48), seen them perform (in 5 diff. States) at least 16x's. Geddy's been quoted saying that the music is about expression, not MONEY, as did Metallica, but both groups hit Napster with lawsuits. Geddy now leaves out the verse " Art as expression, not as market campaign, will still capture our imagination- Given the same state of integrity, it will surely help us along".

[SerLaama]

@tomasg851 Ha, I was listening to this song on iTunes and urged my friend to listen to it. Just as I came to this page, I saw the lyrics... And Geddy sang them at the same time.

Epic.

[azngoku666]

@tomasg851 you didn't quote them correctly and you missed the part where they made a bunch of synthetic music like 2 years after this hahahahahhaha

[150rex]

8 people dont like this song

[AddictiveAquisitions]

@150rex Did anyone who does not like this song make it past the 2:00 mark ?

[TheClockworkDevil]

@AddictiveAquisitions probably not

[Rensra]

@AddictiveAquisitions: 1:46 is where the song really kicks in... and sadly I bet people didn't even make it that far... oh the mediocrity of modern aesthetics...

[Bloodtoker]

@150rex In 3 months only 1 more person has hit that button. :D

[garyulyssesking]

@150rex They believe the Earth was created in one day too. Dummys all.

[TheCatinthehat712]

@garyulyssesking Yeah but one day to us may be MANY to the God of Creation! Feeble minded one!

[garyulyssesking]

@TheCatinthehat712 Feeble minded one? Who was it that said "Those losing the debate usually hurl insults" Oh yeah, it was me. if you need to believe in the Supernatural to be happy, by all means.

[HeavyMetalForces93]

Pure awesomeness.

[pmay222]

i used to love this album cover as a teenager...the way it teased you with a tempting bit of snatch displayed..hoping just hoping...some hair would be showing....!

[thewolffebros]

The 1:43 part on sounds like that Police Song,

[Rowdyrecords55]

@thewolffebros Message In a Bottle. I know i thought the same thing

[ScooterAndOtis]

@Rowdyrecords55 holy crap, i just noticed that too, the beginning of message in a bottle right?

[Rowdyrecords55]

@ScooterAndOtis Yep thats it! They definitely had Police influences in this and the next few albums. Neil loved them.

[ScooterAndOtis]

@Rowdyrecords55 oh, who doesnt love the police. makes sense that peart would respect a drummer like copeland, hes an amazing drummer

[TheLakshmiLotus]

I self-debate betwixt Yes and Rush as to whom to favor...no one ever wins...but I LOVE the battle!

[DanZero77]

Great underrated track -- and a GREAT live version on Different Stages and Rush In Rio with the soccer chant!

[Rush4Caz]

hum this to myself everytime i go on a beach



[jerrythepotato1919]

@apictureofengland That's alright.

[drmr007]

@jerrythepotato1919 I had the RUSH drum book in High School, this and La Villa took me forever (it seemed) until I could play them all the way through without making a mistake. I remember times I'd make it all the way to the very end, mess up on something (usually trivial) and have to start all over again! Auuuugghhh! That was a level of hell, but with a little persistence, I got up and went the distance. Experience to extremes. ; ) Cheers!

[jerrythepotato1919]

@apictureofengland It means that even though I did it, it was hell along the way. Think of it as visiting Hell, and escaping. :D

[jerrythepotato1919]

Once I played this whole song on bass. When I finished, I just realized I had visited hell.

[melkorsring]

we can walk are roads together

[P0WAT0TH3P30PL3]

@melkorsring if our goals are all the same

[melkorsring]

been a fan for 30yrs

best band ever

[LeroyRDP]

Amazing Song!!!

Love Rush :)

Note to Friend''''

Ok good job guys you guys found it :)

that wasn't hard was it? lol

Now scroll up

and search

"The End... I am proud of you guys!!"

[SmokettyJ]

All this talk about one's own taste in music is disgusting gloating. Rush thinks outside themselves.

[Hitz4ever]

My wife doesn't like RUSH....She SUXXXX!!!!

[Kindel87]

@Hitz4ever I would divorce her if I were you!

[robinzhooded]

@Hitz4ever You should have took Funkadelics advice, and "hit it and quit it"

[mknghorn]

My girlfriend loves Rush, always has. She has fantastic taste in music, better than most men I know.

[whisky110]

"Each microcosmic planet, a complete society.."

[LSA2013]

My favorite parts of the song are the guitar riff at 1:46 and then 5:09 to the end.

[dejangus]

Yeah, camelsmoker, yer right! In buisness, you have to make money, if your an honest working guy like me...yev got nothing! buisness folk I think, know how to screw folk! They wouldnt make it if they didnt. so you and me will struggle...cest, la vie!

[nokroblosho]

this has always been my favourite over-all rush song, just fantastic!

[skiddlecrumms]

Same here... must be stuck.

[dragotamer68]

only 141237 blessed musicians to have heard this

[Legionbass19]

This is probably my favorite Rush song lyrically.

[andrew1618]

This is what I hear when i'm dreaming

[thenutbar44]

This is music to my ears. Cant say enough about Rush!

[jazzydrums95]

Those 8 people must be saved

[jeffersontool]

Art as expression, not these campaigns...

[BeowulfVids]

Peart recorded quite a few songs on a small set. And criticizing him for playing a large set is odd. If he can handle such a large set then obviously he can play a little one. I'd love to some of the other top ten drummers play on a massive set.

[cragmac1000]

8 people are complete and total morons, congratulations!

[nothingface2112]

yes, beyond description, some people just don't get it...I would disown my brother as well

[qualestorm2112]

8 people failed biology class

[SlowedBubbles]

Fuck, accidently pressed the dislike button so I had to spend the entire rest of the video pressing the like button to make up for the idiocracy.

[a01543z]

@SlowedBubbles only by accident can someone dislike that song....and the fans of justin bieber of course!

[sherylfloridausa]

is a female and has been a MAJOR Rush fan for at least 30 years and have seen them live 12 times..don't tell me women have no taste in music. haven't seen them since october in tampa and am in dire need of another live show. think i'll start a facebook page for women who love RUSH!!

[dujl]

@sherylfloridausa That sounds way necessary. Let's distinguish and separate the sexes even more from eachother. Way to be supporting equality. /sarcasm

[cpmaniac]

@sherylfloridausa It's the mythical female rush fan!!!! THANK GOD THEY EXIST!!!

[heashon2000]

@sherylfloridausa Are you the girl on the album cover?

[MrClemente2112]

@sherylfloridausa and ill be you're best friend, i have been listening to rush since i was ten ive seen them over 30X and will continue until i die or they guit! My screen name is HEMISPHERES!

[Rush4Caz]

@sherylfloridausa So am I, for over 30 years and wish i had seen them 12 times. There is no better group than Rush

[superunt43]

@sherylfloridausa You need not go that far my lady. I saw these fine gentlemen in Greensboro, NC for the 12th or 13th time, I forget in April of this year. I am male, forget bashing at all. These 3 fine gentlemen kept me awake while driving the 15 hours it took to see family in Ontario from my home in NC. Male or female is irrelevant. I am aware of taste comments.

[InnkeeperX]

@sherylfloridausa

I am very aroused.

[SonicThunderBYG]

Rush > The Beatles

[1KevinsFamousChili1]

@SonicThunderBYG Rush=The Beatles

[SonicThunderBYG]

@1KevinsFamousChili1 Alright, but I don't think Ringo can play like Neil.

[netrioter]

@SonicThunderBYG lol...his kid isnt bad though.He kept up with Keith Moon's drumming pretty good.Ringo played with almost no drum set.lol. Id love to see Peart on a 3 piece set...hahahaha.

That would be funny

[Rowdyrecords55]

@SonicThunderBYG Nor can Paul play like Geddy, and George and John with their skills together probably couldn't play as good as Alex. But it's the Beatles- theyre still awesome.

[SonicThunderBYG]

@Rowdyrecords55 I agree. They are THE most important group to ever walk the face of the planet, or will ever for that matter. I just think that musically and lyrically, Rush is superior.

[dmreeoogdaq]

@SonicThunderBYG Gosh, if only the dumb-ass Rock & Roll Hall of Fame felt the way you (and I) do....

[1windscape]

@SonicThunderBYG Amen Amen....Been Listening to them 30 years and they are even more awesome than when I first spun Moving Pictures on the ole turntable!

[Jalreal]

@1KevinsFamousChili1 lol no

[SonicThunderBYG]

@randomkid802 I've had that same conversation with many girls.

[mythman666]

Rush is the power trio, period!!

[XShad0wF1ashX]

Once a gang tried to tell me Rush was shit....so i killed them all bare handed and single handedly
