  • nice amp and cabnets.

    do they go to 11?

  • so ... my fav line of any musiian would like bonhan said

    about setting up analog drums

    i'm just a fucking sasquatch

    ergonomical impression a little bit longer expelementalepathy

  • This is Steampunk going Mainstream !

  • It's sad that there are no super groups today. not many bands that can claim the same status that RUSH holds. Today's listeners have an attention span of approximately 30 seconds, hence the MP3, Ipod downloads of today. It used to be that record labels would take the time to help a band form into something that LISTENERS could appreciate. Now..... If it's not a hit.......C YA!!!! One song, one cd, one download and your out.

  • In Canada, 'right behind us' actually means 'right in front of us'.

  • Until you lived in my generation of music shut the fuck up and do your research before commenting, the 80's where the last of the true non pussy generation the truth hurts i know.

  • Well looks like the new generation is commenting on this video, well let me tell you! your shit music sucks and rush and many other bands have been around longer than yours, and play real music, not shit hip hop r@b racist music of today just like everything else of today generation it sucks!

  • @getalife67 the generation before you said the same thing when your generation of music came along.

  • @getalife67 ok one i agree music sucks today but everything in this generation dose too? thats bullshit look at what youre watching this on its called youtube made in THIS generation and most of the internet too and some good bands are emerging too youre just too focused on what media makes popular not whats actually going on most pepole perfer this music over what the labels are pushing out nowadays

  • What are they supposed be? Old timetable radios, nuclear power plant control room panel, aircraft tour control panel ? Bizarre.

  • I saw rush 2 or 3 weeks ago in ATX

  • there's so much meat on these ribs alex and ales and slabs omfg naughty european tour lovely sound worldly stretch

    if there was a fascist comedy aura around here perhaps a drum machine has plethoraed a writers strike for willful indignance disambulation abuse becase the sticks in mardi gras land were actually salivate

  • 3rd row in Sheffield ,agreed Awesome!!

  • The presenter is shitting it .. god knows why its Alex Lifeson!!! Those amps are great, saw them front row in Sheffield... AMAZING!

  • I saw Rush yesterday evening in Rotterdam - believe me, those amps work - I still can't hear a damn thing today.

  • offsa is thatwhat you call it an overdub? crap played us ears as a fool, mz crabople tell spike to take their iodine uptake shitake inhibitor core blade my ass! i love alex's quivering confidence, her voice in the back

  • I always wonder why someone hit the thumbs down.

  • Presenter fail...

    

  • you need a special car if you own an amp like this. but, ehm it's not really nice, I think. but respect to mr. lifeson.

  • Saw them in Toledo last night. Amazing! Fantastic show, Alex blew me away! As did Geddy and Neil! :D

  • "Obviously, none of these work... currently."

    hahahaha

  • @RedBarchetta47 ahahahahahhaahahahahhaah

    

  • i also drove from memphis, on my harley! we had a blast! sorry to tell you, the reason why rush doesnt come to memphis is the same reason why i had to drive to little rock ark to see metallica....the audience ain't there in the memphis area for rock and roll, in terms of large shows. sad but true. ALL the big rock shows hit nashville, VERY FEW hit memphis. do the math on the #s of country fans and rap fans vs rock in memphis, that's why.

  • Saw the show in lauderdale... Being in the biz, I've seen a million shows. Alex's guitar tones were SO amazing it was like the sweetest desert served right up for your ears! Unbelievably delicious!

  • I drove from Memphis to Nashville to see them too. Awesome show. I have not seen them since the Grace Under Pressure tour. Had tickets for the Roll the Bones tour but missed it due to a business trip.

  • I drove from Memphis to Nashville to see them too. Awesome show. I have seen them since the Grace Under Pressure tour. Had tickets for the Roll the Bones tour but missed it due to a business trip.

  • I went to see them last night in Nashville and they rocked. They have quite a scence of humor with the videos before, during and even after the show. If you get the chance go see them. This makes my 3rd time to see them in Nashville (where Gibson guitar is located) and they recorded some of their latest.......CD?

  • @bigheadwop i was there... incredible

    

  • @bigheadwop

    I was at that show also. Drove to Nashville from Memphis. What a great show and yes they do have quite a sense of humor. I am still trying to figure out why they don't come to Memphis anymore. I saw their last show in Memphis with Roll the Bones tour. I believe that was 90 or 91.

  • What RUSH wants RUSH gets! Its that simple.

  • Love Rush. My fave by far. Alex is such a gear head. If you don't know that, then just try to replicate his sound(s) with one amp and just a handful of pedals. Impossible! LOL

  • What a refreshing video!  this guy is amazing! That was a gear head's dream video right there! What issues would come up if the heads were in the back of those? That thing would be a bitch to haul to a show though! lol

    Just another reason why rush is a phenomenon!

  • Love the Lifeson-can do no wrong

  • Wow, Alex is such a true artist.

  • Ha ! Alex being serious ! Love it! See u in Dublin Guys

  • hes a good sales man...

  • MINHA PRINCIPAL INFLUENCIA EU ADMRO ESSE CARA

  • RUSH is coming to my town on April 1st, 2011..... CAN'T WAIT!

  • @n2drumzs Hopefully it won't be an April fools' prank, that would suck. I was going to go to a Rush concert when they were near where I live in Toronto, but then I was out of the country at the time, of all things!

  • @Gyrofist1 i was going to see them on april fools day, they cancelled and moved to april 2nd the day of the april fools

  • look into the camera bitch

  • i love how alex say "work:" becuase last tour his amp blew up he was very angry

  • But can you dial it to 11????.....across the board???

  • I miss the olden days with the Hi-Watts.....

    Now Geddy plays through the PA with chicken cookers to visually ballance out the stage...

  • Alex is so cool, he really knows how to get that sound.

  • that's the problem - a director? It's akin to electing ACTORS to gubernatorial positions and to the white house

    THEY'RE JUST BORED OLE RICH DUDES W/ NOTHING BETTER TO DO

    THEIR PHILOSOPHY OF BETTERING THE SOCIAL CONDITIONS OF THE PLANET HAS TAKEN THE 'BACK BURNER'; sOME DAy I'll sue them for picking up cigarette butts in TORONTO and as compensation I'll ask for a private show where they shoot a bazooka and KILL this ridiculous frivolous cinematory crematory

    post secondory CRAP

  • All-in-All a very odd demo. They have a pair ot (hidden) H&K cabs and H&K dont even make speakers so it's like HUH? Where is the amp?

    I LOVE my H&K amp I sold like every other effect I had since I got it. But speaker cabs ain't H&K's strong suit anyhow..

    And the cheesy fake controls?

    Geesh guys

  • sorry guys, love you as much as anyone in the world, but this set-up was very weak compared to the monster sound Alex had for R30 and Snakes & Arrows. there's no way three 2x12 cabinets can push the amount of air and have the growl of eight 4x12 cabinets even if they're turned up louder. When you play or watch a bootleg from R30 or S&A you can just hear Alex in such a sweet spot in the mix and filling the bottom end, but in 2010 it was just plain missing in action even right at the stage.

  • soooo original !!

  • I could imagine playing in school with one of those. It'll probably shake the whole school.

  • His gear for the time machine tour was awesome on stage. His sound kicked ass in Rio, RUSH 4 ever! Thx for it!

  • This was an awesome concert.

  • One of the Greatest guitar players of all time Period.

  • @king102361 Thats for sure. Alex is awesome I`v always loved his mood he puts in every song. He`s very soleful for sure. To say the least :)

  • @king102361 And one of the most underrated. 

  • Practical...no, cool?......HECK YES

  • I saw them Oklahoma too!!! The show was face-meltingly AWESOME!!! I saw them in St. Louis too. It was amazing.

  • I saw them in Tulsa it was AMAZING!!! I saw them in St Louis too. They were both mind-blowing shows.

  • I saw them in Tulsa it was AMAZING!!! I saw them in St Louis too. They were both mind-blowing shows.

  • I did catering for this guy and I stood 2 feet away from the whole set up and It was the coolest thing EVER!!!!!!

  • I can't wait to see this show! Headed to Tulsa on 9/21. :-)

  • @bassdude70 I was there !!! They Rocked the hell out of Oklahoma ! Best experience i ever had ! :D

  • The one dislike is Justin Bieber who wants to be the only Canadian rockstar.

  • Comment removed

  • @MtlGuitaristMatt It'd help if Bieber was even a rock star to begin with! I'll give you the "Canadian" part, though. As for Bieber, his time in the spotlight will be short-lived, just as it was intended to be.

  • It should be "endorser". If he is endorsing a product then he is an endorser and the product is the "endorsee". If he plays a guitar then he is a player, not a "playee".

  • Rush's new singles Caravan and BU2B sound incredible in concert, great show in Columbus.

  • I'm not a guitarist but I'm familiar with live sounds as my Husband and Brother-in-Law both play (keys and bass, respectively). I enjoyed this very much. It's nice to finally learn how Alex makes so much sound with just the one guitar. The first time I saw Rush, my fist comment was, "Boy, they sure make a lot of noise for a trio." Now, I have an idea how that is accomplished. Brilliant.

  • With it being half the size of most bar venue stages, I doubt we will see a retail version anytime soon!

  • I've never heard of the term 'Steam Punk" is that a new type of music or look?

  • @MitcheruUSA62 It's just a look. It's like hoboish, I guess you could say.

  • @vnslykrx Not quite. Steam Punk is a concept used in fiction that there were sophisticated machines during the Victorian age that are not much different than machines we see today. Since there was no electricity or combustion engines, the idea is that these machines would be steam powered. Think of the giant robotic spider in the Will Smith version of Wild Wild West.

  • @Soul74 Ahh, thank you for clearing that up. i wasn't quite sure, but that's always how I pictured it.

  • Mr. Normal and his toys when there is nothing normal about him or them at all. I can only hope you have a sense of how many of us appreciate your vision sir. Remarkable equipment for a remarkable sound.

  • I just saw them Friday night in Irvine CA and I LOVED the "Steampunk" stage setting.

  • Alex is a freaking GENIUS!

  • CALL LOCAL ROCK FM RADIO STATIONS AND REQUEST Rush SONG "Caravan"!

  • ha,ha. who would buy that? he,he,he.he

    Can you imagine? some rich kid gets that, and he's like "dude! I've got an amp that spits out steam!" and his friend is like "Whoa! BITCHIN' DUDE!!!"

  • Ach... Di your guitar big guy! :)

  • Whatever Dude! He is THE MAN! Always something ultra-cool. He has truly been there and done that! Wow!

  • Alex is sooooo adorable! Betcha he's a great hugger!

  • seeing them in a few hours :)

  • @darkinrall Going to go see them in a week!

  • ALEX IS COOOOOOOL!!

  • Comment removed

  • I love Alex he seem so down to earth. This is so very cool. I will see it all at the show. Rush is so for the fans let that be said. Rush 2010 !

  • for the Rush fans !

    /watch?v=K2JQoWB9PHs

  • So...Whats the price of one and when will it be out? XD XD XD XD XD

  • What is the theme of his monitors on the cabinets?

  • Alex is the greatest!!!! 

  • Only Alex could come with something like this. Too cool...

  • Just saw them last night in Chicago, and I had no idea that those were speaker cabinets! Wow! Excellent show -- if you're on the fence about this one, get out and see them. Their live performance of the two new songs was gigantic.

  • Can't believe those things are actually his cabinets... but this means that Alex's full speaker count for this tour is only 6 12's... before he had 3 full stacks counting at 24 12's!!! a huge down size!

  • Cool, never saw a steam amps before !

  • @patrickmozart -actually co2 amps, very, very cool!

  • @humanity6fl9 I saw them live at Quebec Show....they are really steam sounding ..especially during the begining of Caravan song ! ! ! Too cool !

  • @patrickmozart -that is awesome, i'm going to the tampa show in oct, can't wait. cheers.

  • Must...have....Lerxst....

  • Those are awesome.
