This is the best YYZ cover I have ever heard anybody do ever. Gilbert was flawless in his role as The Guitarist. I have never heard anyone but Alex play Alex like Alex. But his execution of the solo was just as slick and slippery as the original recording.

Since they all did such a great job, I'm gonna have to take the lowest of all roads and play the part of the casual no-life, no-talent, pissed-off-at-the-world youtube observer, and insist that this is fake.

Now I feel like less of a loser.

id be pretty bored playing a song i learned when i first picked up the bass too

besides... someone who is into such music... should just appreciate it for what it is...

if you want jump kicks and fireworks... thats what jonas brothers are for lol

[BBALVE]

That's right, and they're not so expensive...

[NolikargAven]

actually neil helped developing these cymbals,they were made only to neil.and i think he started using them in the 2000's.

[BBALVE]

It isn't, the Cymbals which Mike uses there, are Paragon, Neil began to use Paragon near the 90's

Sean replaced me with that guy ???? lol. I used to play with Sean Malone in the late 1980s in a band called "Multi-Color House". We both sucked back then. I will posting a video soon of Sean and I playing at Jannus Landing around 1987-88. He is going to hate me.... again. lol

[fxxxprofanity]

why can't i be this good? why?! WHY?!?!?!

[NolikargAven]

this set is exactly as neil peart's in the 80's

Haha you're the best dude. Don't you hate it when people say that all over youtube? I've been accused of fake videos on many occasions. Just makes me laugh that people are such huge losers that they need to compensate their shitty lives by trying to make someone else feel below them. FOR SHAME!

[Jacob Hopkins]

Well the venue they were playing at was a drum festival or something(Hence all the posters with Cymbal brands at the front of the stage.).

So naturally they would focus more on the drummer

[thefoosa72]

It's amazing that these three incredible musicians that I totally look up to still cannot play it as good as rush. You can't appreciate how amazing rush is until you here someone else try to play it.

Sean Malone, ex-bassist of Cynic and Gordian Knot. One of the greatest Bass/Chapman Stick Players imo
