Loved your reaction Britt , it's exactly how we reacted when it came out!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
@@brittreactsWait...a woman who likes Rush? Oh my how times have changed. ❤😊
Why have I not met a girl like this? Classic bands are so distinctive and Rush is among the greats. I started with 2112 and have gone backwards and forwards since then. The guitar that you speak of is a double neck and the drummer that you thought was so great I ounce watched play while his whole platform was tipped upward 90 degrees. Rush has an incredible play list but, the 1st side of 2112 is genius. The whole 1st side of the album is a story about a guitar that is found in the future and how it is viewed by the ruling priests of the temples of Syrinx. A little buzz adds to the experience.
Greatest rock band of all time. End of discussion.
Neil (Drummer and Lyricist) perfectly encapsulates the feeling of growing up in suburbia at that time. much of his lyrics manage stand the test of time to this day. RIP Professor
🕯
Agreed
Neil Peart was SO much more than a simple drummer, he was a true percussionist. Have you ever SEEN his set?
Neil Peart drums Geddy Lee bass keyboards vocals Alex Lifeson guitars
Neil Peart was a voracious reader. Any time that he was not touring, riding his BMW motorcycle, or spending time with his family, you'd find him reading anything and everything. And this gave him the inate ability to write such amazing and profound lyrics. Neil and RUSH are sorely missed. RIP Neil
You are absolutely right.
How do you know that ?
Were you close to him ?
If if not it's totally cool but you're one of the few people that actually know that
@mikewoods8565 First of all, I'm definitely a fan of RUSH. Secondly, as much as I wish that I knew Neil Alex and Geddy personally, I don't. I learned much about Neil by reading his book "Ghost Rider." It's a story about an unimaginable tragedy in his life where he lost his daughter and his wife in a very short period. And even though the pain would never go away, the book DID have a happy ending.
He earned and deserved the moniker The Professor RIP NP
@@raybernal6829 True that.
Rush is definitely a worthy rabbit hole to go down. Lyrically, musically and evocative. Brilliance is a small element to the trinity.
If anyone asks me, Rush is my favorite band. Their music has solid deeper meaning. I am 60 and was in the military in the 80s. We were seriously feeling like we were going to fight 'the end of world' war, and were hellbent. Being philosophical had a knife edge to it.
Now we are fighting The Enemy Within(see what I did there?) called the Republican Party. It's surreal that one of America's 2 major parties turned anti-Democratic. Can't believe we are actually living this.
That song is 41 years old & still relevant
Y'all pay attention Miss Britt nailed it "music is trash today". You need more Rush girl.
"Some will sell their dreams for small desires or lose the race to rats" is one of my favorite lyrics ever
It's a great lyric!
the genius of RUSH is how they construct their songs and making odd time sound like common groove time - this intro opens in 7/8 odd time then shifts seamless into 4/4 common time but drums adds after beat within to the groove of backbeat 2 n 4 Alex's guitar has ska influence here then band accent hits which is 4:3 creates a time against time sounds. Of course the subject matter is genius how everyone can relate to this song life experiences - great job on breaking down a legendary musician's band
Rush; the epitome of the power trio. Brilliant Lyricist Neil Peart, also in the pantheon of legendary drummers. RIP Neil!
Neil was both a lyrical genius and possibly the most accomplished percussionist ever, able to craft a solo that in itself was a standalone piece of music. The world stopped the day he died.
100% fact check accurate!❤ I cannot fault Heaven for claiming back Neil.
Rush the worlds smallest orchestra,three musical geniuses. Over forty years of music,check out La Villa Strangiato an instrumental ride that in a time signature masterpiece. I’ve been a fan of this band since I was fourteen,I’m now sixty-two and love watching young people like you discover them.☮️❤️🇨🇦
My all time favorite band. Just nobody like them. So talented and unique.
Mine too!!! Along with the Beatles. ♥️
Welcome to the musical world of Rush. The world is a better place because of these three gentlemen. So happy you got a chance to enjoy!
Rush is simply more than only music, I guess to all Rush fans. Every damn song they all play different things in odd rhythms, BUT it flows so well. You can basically pick any Rush song and never be disappointed. And the lyrics from Neil are just outstanding (RIP Professor - you will be missed forever!). Greets from Germany. Enjoy!
My favorite band!
@@brookehornback1896 mine too since decades...
The band was composed of three geniuses who never took themselves seriously.
The opening of most of their concerts was the opening of the 3 stooges skits.
rush is simply the best.
Your favorite drummers favorite drummer is this guy!! RIP Neal
RUSH = 3 GOATS!!!!!! Please do more RUSH!!!!!
I grew up in a rural town where, let's just say,I didn't belong. A popular target for faraway laughter and jock bullying. I literally hated my life in that place. Only two things got me through it; my dreams of someday being a rock star on tour opening for Van Halen or AC/DC,and this particular song. I remember all of a sudden feeling like somebody was speaking to me when I heard this song. It was powerful. Drummer Neil Peart also writes most all the lyrics. He was a deep thinker and a huge reader. His vocabulary had no limit. In some ways this song gave me strength when I needed it most. Rush is a very intelligent band that just rocks like no other,and there's only 3 guys making it happen! And losing Neil was a hard blow to the world of music. Another great example of his lyrical genius is "Limelight". That's all I'm going to say about it. But I do hope to one day see your reaction for it
You’re talking about a “ Keytar “
This is my fav. Band hands down. Just 3 guys and all 3 are complete masters of their craft. Jamel or Jamal reactions discovered Rush and is his fav. Band. He has been at it for years and has covered tons of bands. Huge catalog of music. The Drummer Neil Peart in most people’s eyes was the greatest drummer ever to grace this planet. And is always in conversation among the greatest. Their early stuff is their best stuff.
To fully appreciate these three men as musicians is to watch them play in a live setting as a cohesive unit. Masters of the instruments they play, and friends that fully get each other on a human level.
Geddy Lee, singer, bass guitarist, and keyboards, juggling all three on some songs and making it look easy.
Neil Peart, The Professor, a walking metronome of percussive precision whose drumming is aspirational for most would-be drummers, with a poet's soul crafting lyrics of depth, honesty, and integrity.
Alex Lifeson, guitarist extraordinaire, is stealthy in his abilities compared to other shredding ax wielders, but at the same time, he is so underappreciated.
Watch their induction by Dave Grohl and the late Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, the band's acceptance speeches, and the three-song set they play...and the real RUSH is there in all of their glory. Wacky, brilliant, gifted, and amazing. One of Canada's greatest gifts to the world was this band!
Best power trio on this earth. R.I.P. Neil Peart.
"Music is trash today. This stuff is great" No truer statement has ever been spoken.
Thanks Britt. Neil Pert ,RIP, the Greatest Drummer ever, Geddy did the vocals, bass, and keyboards. A 3 man band. Out of Canada, the song is about the lib fantasy land they lived which sadly has bled into America. That is why this old tune is sooooo real!
The keytar is the name of the guitar keyboard instrument Geddy used an analog Mini Moog synthesizer early in their career it was the tech they embraced made it work mini Moog could pitch bend notes - Watch a live version Brit Geddy the bass player is also the band's singer while playing keyboard/ foot pedal to trigger sounds it is unreal the level of skill they have for a trio- there wont ever be a band like this again .
For a 3 piece band they have the highest level of musicianship. Neil , the drummer, wrote a majority of the lyrics. If you dive deep in the lyrics of alot of their music you'd be amazed
It's great that you shouted out Neal Peart on drums because much of this song is in sevens and then of course it switches to straight 8 at times to give extra Focus. But he is so good at making these oddball time signatures work and make them appealing to the average listener. I loved the way your innate sense of Rhythm took over and you were easily able to physically move to it, a lot of people just get frustrated by the uneven nature of that kind of time signature.
John Bonham of Led Zeppelin was also fantastic at this, but it just seems like Neil took it to a whole other level. Rest in peace to both of them. Two of my all-time favorite drummers.
In addition to that all the choruses and solo parts of the song are in 6/4.
"Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth"
so good.
RIP Neil Peart! He wrote most songs and they 3 knew how to perform it to the best. 😊😢
One of my favorite songs of all time Brit. They have over a 40 yr catalog, 3 musicians that are tremendous.
FINALLY! A reaction video that gives proper attention to the lyrics. So much is missed when attention is solely on the drums and voice. And you read them so lyrically well, too. Thank you.
Like German Shepards, Dalmatians are extremely loyal and easily trained. The were fire department mascots, and were used to find trapped people.
RIP Neil Peart the greatest drummer to ever walk the earth. If you want to see just how great he was? Check out Neil Peart drum solo from Frankfurt Germany. You won't be disappointed
My favorite band of all time. Saw them at least once every tour from 1986 until they retired.
Glad to see more people are still discovering the magic of RUSH. If you liked Neil's drumming here, wait until you hear Tom Sawyer and YYZ. Get ready to be Amazed. ✌🤟🤘
Geddy Lee sings, plays bass, and keyboards. Talented Canadians.
Beautiful. Now you've learned why they are RUSH.
4/4, 7/8, 6/4. It’s how they rolled before they rolled the bones.
Loved your reaction, and agree wholeheartedly. These three guys are(were) musical titans. Neil Peart(RIP) was and still is the prototype of the modern rock drummer and in my opinion the "yardstick" by which all rock drummers since are measured against.
Rush put together meaningful lyrics that hold true regardless of your stage in life. Its philosophy with a fantastic musical backing track.
The one thing that Neil would say about his lyrics was that they could and should be interpreted in any way that one saw fit. Rip
@@dgminnerNeil put lyrics on a page Geddy vocalized them Alex along with GL and NP added the background for us to interpret as part of our lives. Masters
The word "subdivisions" can also apply to the subdivisions of social groups or "cliques" of people. We are subdivided based on how cool you are or what your sport is or how pretty/good looking, etc.
The lyrics prove that nothing has changed.
40 years later this holds true.....Welcome to the Rush rabbit hole. Listen to freewill next
Been a fan of RUSH since 1977. Their music is worth diving into. I recommend "Red Tide". Another song that has a great storyline.
Damn Britt, your analysis was spot on. This album came out in my Sophomore year of high school and got to see them on tour promoting this album. Being in that demographic in 1982, this song spoke volumes to me because I felt all those lyrics in real time. It still speaks to me today. R. I. P. Neil Peart, master drummer and master lyricist and poet.
I love her reactions she knows to much know 2112 😮
Same here, got the album when it came out in Germany. I was in 10th grade as well. Saw this concert in Sporthalle (Heidelberg, Germany). Excellent show.
For sure subdivisions at every wall and compartments for every call. It's part of the fragmentation that society has come to expect.
Dude, I was a senior in 1983, my sentiments exactly. Would love to relive my 1st experience with Rush in surround sound in my friends living room with a great buzz. The Priests of the Temples of Syrinx and Twilight Zone made me an instant fan.
Neil Peart (Drummer/ Lyricist) was a poet philosopher and arguably one of the top three greatest drummers of all time. R.I.P professor
Good reaction and review
Rush lyrics are all about life ,y the drummer besides being one of the great drummers ever is also a very deep lyrical writer, This is an extremely deep rabbit hole of songs get ready to expect the unexpected with this band
I’ve seen Rush a couple times. Once in the 80s and once in the 90s. Great shows no surprise there ❤.
Rush is at the elite level of musical talent. Neil Peart (drums) is arguably the greatest percussionist in rock. There is a live drum solo in Frankford that you should check out. Geddy Lee's (vocals, bass, keyboards) voice is so unique in range and sound that, sings, plays bass, and pedal keyboards all at the same time. Alex Lifeson, (guitar, keyboards, backup vocals) to me he was the weak link in the band until I saw them live, dude blew me away.
Great 3 piece band Neil on Drums 🥁
You should watch the video and see Geddy Lee sing, play bass, and keyboards at the same time!
First time I heard this was at Junior Prom in High School. Yes, Dalmations are Unicorns. And some realities are perpetual.
11:45 drummer is the main character of most of them. Hes widely considered top 3 if not best ever
"Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone".
RIght in the feelz. Even 30-however many years later.
SPIRIT OF RADIO is another RUSH song that is killer
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
Three of the greatest musicians to have ever lived...with one also being the *single* greatest lyricist...hands down...came together to create the greatest band, period.
The cover is a visual pun. Rush had the album title "signals" picked out and let the artist run with it. Signals are any form of communication. And what's one way dogs communicate with each other? Yep. Scents.
I was a senior in HS when this song came out. I lived in a suburb of Dallas, TX. Garland, TX to be exact. We had 4 HS in Garland, and many "Subdivisions" of homes around those HS. Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist for the band, summed up HS so perfectly then. In our school, their was 5 cliques: The Socials (richer students who were considered the elite), The Jocks (self explained, Football, Basketball players, etc.), The Geeks (the brains of the school, the thespians, and outsiders, we didn't have the term Goth yet), The Freaks (heavy metal listeners, dope smokers, and mischief makers), and the Ropers (the skoal dipping, cowboy boot and wrangler jean wearing guys and girls-the girls didn't dip). If you weren't a social or jock, those 2 groups could intermingle, you were a cast out. Later in the 80's, John Hughes summed it up with the classic "The Breakfast Club".
The lyrics are incredibly important, impactful. And yes, still relevant. Ultimately it’s just a great song.
RUSH is definitely a rabbit hole you want to go down
Long live RUSH ❤
You want to know what Rush is all about and see absolute masters of their craft? Watch YYZ live in Rio.
Rush is one of the Greatest! I grew up with them in the 80's, although they got their start in the 70's.
Britt, the first time I heard RUSH, I was a freshmen in high school, 1976, and 2112 was played as we ran out onto the gym to warm up before our basketball game. I had never heard music like that before. It completely blew my mind. If you want a real mind trip, try listening to 2112. It's 20:34 in length, but I promise you, you'll love every second of it.
I grew up in this generation........................ I was the misfit who hung out in the shop wing for 4 yrs... never was with the cool crowd .. Rush tells the truth....................
Rush was of the first bands to take educated music to a scientific level in modern age. They were highly skilled and very well trained. Neil Peart the drummer is recognized as arguably the greatest drummer.
Neil pretty much always goes off.
I'm so pleased that you're enjoying this music - AND Neil Peart's very personal, philosophical lyrics - both of which were so meaningful to me when I was younger. This was a very personally meaningful album, and was my entry point for my life-long appreciation for these three great musicians, composers and performers.
This is one of my favorite Rush songs, and it was a true joy to watch your incredibly enthusiastic reactions to it. I was initially disappointed you weren't watching the video of this song, with it's sprawling suburbs, malls, and kids in high school and cruising and having to conform to the norms, but you were so into the lyrics, you totally "got it", and the pictures you created in your own mind were perfect. There are many, but this is one of the most fun reactions you've ever done. Thank you!
I agree 100%, "THE MUSIC'!!! 🔥🔥🔥 P.S. You are correct about Dalmatians being the "firehouse dogs"!😊
Let's pause every 10 seconds. That's always good for viewers.
Post WWII. Giant neighborhoods were built where all the houses and yards were identical, and often in grids.
Oh, and Dalmation Dogs 2 most media relations were "Fire Departments" and the Disney film "101 Dalmatians (the villain wanted 101 to make a fur coat ".
Growed up with these guys also saw them live a dozen times. Love to see young people discover one of my favorite bands. Great reaction ❤
Hi, hope you're doing well.
I hope you don't mind but I am reacting to your comment on Rush.
I am a stagehand in Calgary and I was fortunate enough to work and do the lighting for Rush.
I honestly think the reason I became a stagehand and do it for a living it's because of them.
I saw 2112 with Max Webster at the max Bell Arena in Calgary.
Incredibly, Nazareth was playing our biggest venue the Stampede Corral.
She went to Nazareth I went to rush and we're not together anymore.
This was many years ago and I really do apologize thank you so much
Speaking as one of them, this was one of THE songs for disaffected, intellectual-in-our-own-minds suburban white guys.
The video is a must-see companion piece to the song.
Welcome to RUSH, arguably the greatest band of all time. Loved your reaction to all of it.
🎶 be cool or be cast out🎶 🎸🥁🎸 girl,, you feel the music for sure,,🤘🤘🤘
From 3 twenty something's, Geddy Lee on bass, keys, and vocals, Alex Lifeson on guitar, Neil Peart the drummer lyricist, that's it it sounds like 5 people....
All Rush fans study the song lyrics of rush songs. We enjoy it.
this song is more relevant today then back in the 80s when it was written. Now even more your either in or your out .
Rush is always "The Music!!" Thank you for a great reaction! Way to read and appreciate those lyrics! After their first album, in 1974, they got a new drummer and lyricist (same guy) and their songs started to blow up, not only percussively but lyrically! Great band of over 40 years!
this was epic when it came out. still epic. this song said what everyone was thinking, but couldn't put into words
Neil Peart known to be one of the best drummers of Al time.
RIP Neil!!!!!!!! he wrote the lyrics. (drummer).
Rush are musical architects.
Spirit of the Radio, Tom Sawyer, and on and on, they are/were amazing. Sadly, the guitarist and drummer have passed.
"Who let the drummer write the effing lyrics? Rush did!" -Taylor Hawkins
11:36 'Y'all the drummer was the main character on that one..."
LOL! Yes, Neil Peart is arguably the best drummer in Rock & Roll history and is allowed into the debate amongst the All-Time Greats such as Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa.
Its wonderfull to see a sister enjoy Rush. Neil , the drummer wrote they'er lyrics for more than 40 years. You found your band. Hun. 😊 take a look at R40 live tour cut and see they 'er. Mastery in action. It will blow your mind. Peace baby Britt girl❤
This song will always get votes in any discussion of what are Rush's greatest hits. 😊
There is literally no debate that Subdivisions is top five of their all time best songs. Personally I would say top three
Spirit of the radio....Thank you
This song was my anthem as a young man in the early 80's. It really hit home for me.
Rush’s lyrics are amazing - they alway are. But it’s so hard to accept that all this music comes from only three guys. Check out their live version of “Spirit of Radio” and watch how just three men produce such a full, rich sound.
Rush is always a great choice for reactions
6:40 Yeah, that is literally called a Key-tar...Edgar Winter kinda pioneered the instrument by wearing a keyboard around his neck (Check out the video for Frankenstein)...but this is just three guys...Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson...it's amazing how full they sound with just three dudes...
Please do more RUSH, youre enjoyment of lyrics and musicianship....they will not let you down!!!
From west coast Canada 🇨🇦, peace.
I enjoyed this reaction SO MUCH! I love Rush and it's great that you appreciate them too, even at your young age 🤣 Such a huge loss that Neil passed away - as percussionist and lyricist, I can't imagine anyone will ever top his talent!
