Funny people think that a Rush song could be duplicated as is, especially live. Hilarious that people get all "violent" about it, hiding behind a computer monitor. Live rock music is supposed to be rough. Bands souldn't do knock offs of other bands music, they have to make it their own. Judging it by a video taken with a digital camera is a bit lame. If you look at other videos it's not hard to see she is a great musician. And the shower curtain complaint, WTF? Yeh! Rock on Selina.

This is a great cover. I don't know what everyone is complaining about. I hate it when people believe covers should be a note for note copy of the original or that the original is sacred is some way. Why bother doing the cover if it is going to sound the exact same? I do like the album version "better" but why bother going out to live shows if all you care about is hearing the a lip synced version of the album track?

@cactus337 Thanks. I feel honored that you took the time to respond to my comment, (posted friggin 8 months ago), but next time you cluelessly attempt to bash a fan of a band who's song is being unashamedly pissed on, try to use a tad bit more originality.

@Jizzizoo I wish you'd die on the outside too.

it's just the sound on the vid that sucks. As far as the musicians, if you don't know Dave Bidini & Don Kerr, shoot yourself in the face.

Her recordings are fantastic but, with all due respect, I wouldn't go to see her live! And get a fashion consultant; it looks like she is wearing a shower curtain...

The worst part's not even the singing. It's the wankers on the instrumentals not even doing it properly. I normally try to see each cover as unique but this is like so many of you said/thought, a bullshit cover.

I ama huge fan of Selina. She does a great cover of this song on her CD, but for some reason she tried to play it reggae style here, which obviously did not work !! Check out her other stuff. I have to agree that she did not sound good at all here !! Sorry Selina.

what a piece of shit cover. butchery at it's finest. These people have no business even looking at a Rush CD. This is just the worst piece of crap i've ever seen on youtube in my life. The band shoulda learned the song better and Selina Martin needs to never touch a Rush song for as long as she lives. This came straight outta Satan's ass. this just sux. Why Rush gave her permission to do this i will never know.
