      Rush is just a Hardrock band with an irrating squeaky mousy voiced typical Rock singer. Getty couldnt lick the creative boots of a Jon Anderson or Peter Gabriel. North American half-hearted so-called Prog that appeals to headbangers who lack the Pure Prog DNA. Pure Prog Euro creators of the genres are dimensions far out of their league. Rush are simply simply Heavy Rock that are occasionally embellished when they're not being straight out commercial. Calling them Prog is a huge stretch and an insult to all those imaginative genuine KINGS AND QUEENS OF THE GENRE

    One thing this studio video doesn't really make you appreciate is that Geddy Lee sings and plays some of the most difficult bass lines ever simultaneously when they are live! He also has to work in the keyboards and foot pedals as well. So he basically does what normally takes three people to do.

      I think it's interesting that people say Zeppelin and Deep Purple were progressive, and they had elements of that in their music. Those bands had bigger followers, and were more popular back then. Even today they seem like they're more appreciated than RUSH, what do ya think? Floyd, earlier Genesis, YES, ELP, King Crimson, Vander Graff Generator, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull etc; etc; were progressive for sure.

      @@markusantonio4866 Many rock bands had 'progressive' elements in their music back then; Queen, Roxy Music, Black Sabbath, Zep, Purple, Supertramp etc etc, but they also had either a commercial or a blues element which meant they automatically had broader appeal and a bigger audience than the actual prog rock bands, whose focus was on experimentation and doing something that broke all the rules. That was always going to appeal to less people. Most people like to be entertained, not intellectually challenged by music.

    I enjoyed your reaction here - and the light hearted humor throughout. I'm a professional drummer because of this group - for skills, Rush was the best rock band ever. Saw them twice - they perform on another level - their live material is often better than the studio versions - that's very hard to do (esp. with progressive rock being very technical). Justin, maybe look into what this song is about - a very critical look at modern youth. How they look & dress doesn't matter - it's all about the music with them - total professionals & gentlemen - watch the entire concert 'Exit Stage Left' from 1981 - just incredible! Neil, Alex & Geddy are legends.

    Rush. You are definitely in for a ride! From album 1 listen to Working Man. Fast foward to ealry 80s The Spirit of Radio. Then go back to late 70s for the instrumental, La Villa Strangiatto or from the album Moving Pictures, YYZ, another instrumental. Get ready to ride!

    If you're really interested in Rush's history (and you should!), check out their autobiography Beyond the Lighted Stage. The full movie used to be on UA-cam but looks to be gone now. It should be on one of the various services, Netflix, Amazone Prime, etc.

    Getty Lee /Bassest & lead singer, Neil Peart /Drummer, Alex Lyson/ Guitar. Neal to me is one of the best rock drummers ever besides John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. He also wrote all their music. He left the band about two yrs ago after them being together almost five decades. Seen them more than a few times. The loudest show I've ever been to. Unreal Band. In every Country they toured he would play & then ride his motorcycle to the next show every single day at about 70yrs old, pretty incredible. He definantly had the largest drum kit for many years. I once counted 32 drums & 26 cymbals. They encircled him completely. And would turn from one side to the other. Two kits in one basically. Tom Sawyer is one of their biggest hits with Neal's riffs in it that is just incredible to me & millions of others. He is Very maticulous also about his kits. His drums were cleaned & polished everyday. He got with Paiste cymbals to manufacture a cymbal line with his name on them with no paint lettering on them so as to not removing the lettering when cleaning them. He has one of like only 100 ever made gold plated DW Drum Kits that he has played on DW Drums forever. They are mounted in a way so that each drums moves a lot to sustain sound. My very 1st concert was on June, 24th 1976. My 16th birthday and the line up was Head East, Rush & Ted Nugent as the headliner. Check out some of Ted Nugent's videos. He had the all time largest earnings tour during the late 70's & his management bought stupid shit and he went flat broke. He made it back again & does about 150 shows a yr still @ 70 yrs old. And every other day he is Bow Hunting. He has a TV Hunting show for the last 12 yrs or so. He is originally from Michigan but has lived just outside of Waco Texas for several yrs now on one of his two ranches. His house in Michigan got black mold so they to tear it down & moved to Tx. Where his ranch is. He still owes & hunts on his ranch in Michigan. At the start of Bow Hunting season he has always hunted for many yrs Tx first so I'm sure that when he had to tear down his home in Michigan it was why he chose to move to Tx. & Bought his ranch outside of Waco. Glad to have him here in my home state. The man goes non stop no matter what it is he's doing. He says he has never done drugs or drinks. His dad was a Army Sargent & was strick while growing up. His Dad eventually started a steel business & sold steel to Fred Bear to make his Broadheads out of. Fred was the pioneer of Archery & he & Ted were really close up until his death. Ted even wrote & recorded a song of him called Fred Bear. Check out Ted's song called Straglehold. Ted's a great rock guitarist as well as Alex from Rush. But has way more intensity. He is gifted, fun to watch & puts on great shows.

    Yes, Geddy Lee, the lead singer, has had long hair all during his time as bassist/vocalist/keyboard player for Rush! You should check out a song by Rush called "YYZ". It's on the same album as Tom Sawyer and it ROCKS!

    Great musicians who are versatile. They started out as a hard rock band and then into a progressive hard rock band with album side lengthy epic songs like the masterpiece 2112. Then as the 80's came around they added a little more keyboard and shortened their songs and made a huge impact with the classic album Moving Pictures (Tom Sawyer was on Moving Pictures). MTV used to play music videos and Rush had a lot of videos during the 80s. As the 90s came around they went back to little harder rocking sound and wrapped up a few years ago with one of their very best albums ever in Clockwork Angels. All their albums are good or great but the three key milestone albums are 2112, Moving Pictures and Clockwork Angels IMO.
