Great pick guys!! What’s the next one we gotta check out?!?! Cheers friends! 🔥🤟🏻
I will not cease until you react to No One Together by Kansas.
Check out Great van Fleet or The Eagles
I don't think you guys have done Closer to the Heart yet. It's a quick one, but a great one as well.
Middletown dreams.
Ya'll just gotta do "A Man I'll Never Be" by Boston. It's the best they did after the epic first album.
Caress Of Steel……. terribly underrated Masterpiece.
Most of the time someone says underrated I think they’re over exaggerating. But in this case you’re totally right, this album is wayyyy underrated
@@jeremydraper733 It's a damn shame to. It should have been as big as 2112.
Could not have said it better myself!
@@markhaus2830 I think Caress is better than 2112 . . .
@@747panos I think I might agree with that by a slight margin. Absolutely brilliant album!
Now yall gotta do the b-side and listen to “Fountain of Lamneth”. Its a multiple part song and its one of their most beautiful pieces IMO. Jam on 🤘
Its brilliant.
Fountain is the ultimate deep cut. Farking BRILLIANT.
Love this song “Draw another goblet from the cask of 43... crimson misty memory... hazy glimpse of me.”
@@toddherklotz5970 Every time I crack a bottle of red wine. Every. Time.
Panacea the ultimate romantic passion song
When they released this album in '75, they were very excited about it, but the record didn't do well. When asked about the album years later, Geddy remembered the band being high a lot during the recording of the album. It was after the album's commercial failure that Rush were told by their record label to make their music more commercially accessible. Of course, they didn't listen; and 2112 was born.
Gotta Admit 2112 was an Artistic Masterpiece!! I loved their first album without Neil Pert but 2112 Totally Blew my Mind as a 15 year old back in 78 when I first heard it!!
To this day 2112 is the greatest middle finger in rock history.
"Anthem" will smoke your ears off. Just a flat-out jam. Ask any Rush fan. Lifeson just tears it up. What a player.
Yep. Born from their first audition/jam with Neil, they discovered their unique chemistry with that piece. Anthem rocks!
This song has one of the greatest rock solos ever!
CARESS is underrated.
absolutely, couldn't agree more
Agreed, even among the Rush faithful its often regarded as weak. For me its a great chill album and its in constant rotation of records I listen to on a regular basis.
Plus ,one of the best titled albums of
All time! I mean come on...... CARESS OF STEEL! Fucking BAD ASS!
Not by me. It's my favourite Rush album and Bastille Day is my favourite Rush song.
id say if you had to choose their most underrated and overlooked, even by the band, test for echo would win
Keep in mind this is only Rush's 3rd album and only the 2nd with Neil and he was still exploring his range and capabilities as a songwriter. By-Tor on the previous record was their first stab at a long form style of music and The Necromancer was merely the continuation of that. So it may seem a bit more basic than later offerings, but they were still trying to find their voice. And of course the next album's foray into this realm is the more polished 2112. But I adore The Necromancer. Its a long song featuring a young band rocking their faces off. Great pick and analysis, guys.
Caress Of Steel is a fantastic, and mostly underrated album....
Except to us Rush fans.
Rock 🤘
"Three travelers, men of Willowdale" is a tongue in cheek reference to Geddy and Alex's neighborhood in Toronto from which they hailed originally. It also sounds rather Tolkienesque, which is quite fitting, as The Necromancer was one of the various names given to Sauron in the Middle Earth canon.
Tis in fact about Sauron
@@tombombadil1262 Alas, I always pictured it as happening at Dol Guldor as his wraith escapes in the end...
YOU HAVE TO DO CYGNUS X1-BOOK 1..THEN CYGNUS X1-BOOK 2!!! ONE RPIC STORY OVER 2 EPIC SONGS
They are SO GOOD!
Yeah, if your gonna do Rush epics, these 2 songs, Cygnus X-1, Cygnus X-1 Book II Hemispheres are a must.
Cygnus X-1 is Neil's greatest drum performance, IMO.
d0ublestr0ker0ll I think hemispheres (CygnusX1Book2) is their greatest display of writing& musicianship ever (especially when you consider the movie quality story, part 1 reference, and cinematic feel)
MasterZM10 yes!!!! Guys please do Cygnus 1 and 2 next for Rush Wednesday. You won’t be disappointed.
Hell yes. The deepest of deep RUSH tracks are both on this album. I’d highly suggest The Fountain of Lamneth next.
Hard to understand why Alex Lifeson isn't included when people start ranking the greatest rock guitarists. He's at least as good as Clapton, Page, et. al.
Better
To me his phrasing tends to be really off-putting, but I get why other people appreciate it
In the day, someone asked Eddie van Halen if he thought he was the best guitarist in rock today, and he said " I don't know, better ask Alex Lifeson" mad compliment since he was the media darling at the time
He's just overshadowed by the best drummer and best bassist ever - they're the f---ing best triumvirant
Agreed my Two Favorite's Hendrix & Lifeson. Great minds and imaginations make great Music.
BTW that’s Neil talking in the beginning
Ok, doing albums? Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres. When you complete those albums fully, you are well on your way to being who WE would call a real RUSH fans. Peace, Phil
philip grossman agreed. I have also suggested you guys simply do Cygnus X1: Books I & II (which are the end and beginning of these albums)
100% agreed! Listening to "Farewell to Kings" from beginning to end it's an amazing musical excursion. In my opinion, the most cohesive album; musicality, tone, lyricism... a true masterpiece.
They already Real RUSH fans. Done a LOT of their stuff. But they need to do all of CARESS of STEEL. Especially side two of the album and listen to "The Fountain of Lamneth" is their 2nd longest song and is their 1st side long "Concept song" . Six parts. The precursor to 2112, which they've done. And some of Neil's best drum work imo. The whole album really is an album of "deep cuts". Bastille Day really kicks ass as well and Lakeside Park is about a park that Neil used to go to as a kid. Then there's "I Think I'm Going Bald", good rocking tune about hair loss of all things, lol. If you're listening to deep cuts and enjoying them, you're a real fan. I was 13 when this came out in 1975. First heard it in 1976. Talk about going WOW. The Necromancer became one of my top 5 RUSH favorites and the album my 2nd favorite.
ua-cam.com/video/MrqwZD7jMqI/v-deo.html
philip grossman remember, real Rush fans like all their albums.
Joe Schmoe , no kidding man just guiding the newbies one step at a time.
I can't comment. I'm still grieving for Neil Peart.
Missy Frye I’m right here with ya.
@@EvonZundel me too :(
This is one of their underrated albums, it holds up pretty well with time
Another Great Canadian Trio. TRIUMPH. Check them out.
One of my favourite rush songs glad you guys liked it
"Jacob's Ladder" by Rush
Camera Eye too!
Rush’s The Pass from the Presto Album... great song!
Anthem. Banger. ❤🎵
Hemispheres to me is their crescendo. 18 minutes of sauce, like others have mentioned should do Cygnus book 1 (last song off Farwell to Kings) 1st.
Great choice guys. Doing a fine job of working your way through Rush. As always, requesting more YES! Yours is no disgrace would be a good choice.
This album gets so little love. Nice to see so many others here who also love it.
Have loved this song since it first came out, so happy to see you two enjoying it as well. I think Andy went off to the lands of the Necromancer, he was totally lost in the sauce LOL
I, for one, was there with him.
Awesome guys !!
Do “The Fountain of Lamneth”
My Favorite!!!!❤️❤️
Yes! This is the one you want to do next.
I do think it's about time you guys start exploring into later 80's Rush. Distant Early Warning is a great one I feel you guys will enjoy
Many would argue that "Hemispheres" is Rush's best album, and I'm inclined to agree. You've already done "The Trees" and "La Villa Strangiato" so you may as well jump in the deep end and do "Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres". Unless you want to do "Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage" from A Farewell to Kings first.
Those drums stopping and going in the middle put me on the edge of my chair.
"Still with us, buddy?" You guys are so cute.
@Lucie Melahn
😁❤️
Narration done by the late great Neil Peart...finally ...thanks guys!!.....hey what kind of whiskey you drinkin ? I agree the ending needed some more vocals and a better completion ....they were about your age when they cut this still learning their writing chops, I remember Alex said they played “Caress of Steel” for Paul Stanley of KISS , and he didn’t get it....and Alex said I’m not sure if we got it ...I think they were figuring things out and put it altogether for their masterpiece 2112, their next album
This is Rush’s first foray into an Epic style song....give them a break...1970’s!
For that time it was incredible....still is......A++++++++++++!!!
I would’ve probably put By-Tor and the Snow Dog as their first foray into that.
When they mention Willowdale at the beginning it is not a random name they came up with...Willowdale is an area in Toronto. I lived there from 1995 until 2000.
Todd Kelly i was born and grew up in Willowdale 😃
Geddy lived in Willowdale, sounds like a Twilight Zone town eh?
@@uncletom618 Nope, it's just a boring suburb. But maybe that's the same thing...
Yeah I think they Are from that area
Also sounds like Lakeside Park another real area that the have been hanging around in their youth
Lord of the rings guys middle earth
Now that Neil's gone, all these more obscure pieces start seeing the light of day.
Dude the radio songs are the pretty face and this is the personality!!! Mind Blown. Perfectly said. I will say that out of their entire catalog Caress of Steel had been known to some as the least popular. The critics hated it and it didn't sell very well which prompted the record company to tell them to not write like this anymore. This is the album where they really started experimenting and finding their sound with Neil. It was a necessary album that shows the natural progression of where they would ultimately end up. They started in Fly by night and really pushed the boundaries on this one. Just remember 2112 would be the next album. 2112 was them giving the finger to the record company and continuing to do what they wanted. If it wasn't for this album they may not have been pushed or inspired to give us the Epic 2112. As a Rush fan I still love this album personally just saying it wasn't at the level of the previous Fly by Night or anything that would follow after. Totally agree with your ratings. Still top notch musicianship, but compared to Hemispheres? Not even close. You should really do Hemispheres! As always you both are on point!
'Caress Of Steel' is meant to be played in it's entirety! Each song and part intertwines perfectly with the whole. Rush showed immense creativity and originality with this early 'experimental' album, and it was a glimpse of big things to come from them!
Rush???....I'm here!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷❤
Remember, they were just kids when they recorded this.
'Big Money' my second favourite guitar solo of all time and the genius of their 80s stuff
Don't over think it. Take it as a whole. Great story carried, and pushed by great music.
RUSH Warping teenage minds since ‘73!
There are many theories as to why/how By-Tor went from the villain in "By-Tor and the Snowdog" to the hero in "The Necromancer". My theory is weed based.
yeah this a epic track .for me it fuses Lord of the RIngs (Necromancer) and Rush getting back at their record label at the time, the 3 men of willowdale (the members).plus willowdale is in around where they grew up! and yes Byt or was mentioned.see these 70s groups had connected audio universes .just cross eyed mary and aqualung! great stuff guys
Yes! Thanks for doing this one guys!
This is my favorite album and song from Rush. I consider Caress of Steel chapter 1 of the Prog Bible.
love you guys. my favorite reactors, keep it up. 2112 side 2
That's Prince By tor. Lol. So glad you guys finally got to this awesome tune. I gotta say it, please do Fountain of Lamneth next. From same lp. You guys really get it. That's what's special. Great review. Andy is right. Dim lit room at night with headphones on. How I spent the late seventies and early eighties nights. They cant all be A +. A- is cool with me.
Didn't hurt to have a few puffs before puttin' them headphones on, either! ;)
@@charliemac64 that was when we got Acapulco gold around here. Shit would just creep up on ya after bout 15 minutes and I swear still the best buzz weed ever got me.
@@jamesshaffer206 I still do the few puffs before listening. The best way to get "lost in the sauce."
@@charliemac64 me too bro. I quit drinking 20 years ago so weed gets me by.
Now that you've done this one, you gotta do Fountain of Lamneth. Caress of Steel is one of my favorite albums because of these songs.
I hope the next piece of music you listen to by RUSH is Cygnus X-1 book 1 and book 2.
I think listening to them back to back would be great.
Oh, and I LOVED your reaction and review of this cool piece of music.
Cygnus X-1: Book 1's ending is Peart's most intense drumming ever, IMO.
@@d0ublestr0ker0ll and that bass riff is so much fun
I still can't hear these songs without crying. RIP.
It is quite sad, indeed. Love you expressing your feelings. It will get easier to celebrate the gift of music left behind. Take care, paravarium.
@@lisaw5604 Lisaaa! Long time! Hope you've been off to a great new years. Since we have a history of music sharing I have to let you in on what I've been listening to obsessively lately. Don't think A&A would ever react to this but how cool would it be haha.. anyways enjoy! :) ua-cam.com/video/hxq3baQyEzY/v-deo.html
@@paravarium Hey!! It was so nice to see you around again! Hope your new year is off to great start as well. :) I just found your comment. It didn't go through due to the attachment, but it's all good. Thanks for the share! Will listen to it tomorrow for sure & get back to you with thoughts. If you've been listening to it obsessively, it should be good. haha. Have a great night/day! :)
Listened to "Jaws". Ooooh. I can see why you've been obsessing! The lyrics and atmosphere created... So beautiful. I'm hooked and can absolutely relate to what is being conveyed. This is a single and not part of an album, correct? I need to dig further into "who" is this group and other albums. Thank you for sharing!! Have a great day. :))
@@lisaw5604 Had no doubts you love Jaws :) yeah it was just released as a single, then they have two other short eps, and just released their first full length a couple of months ago. Everything is so good! A song like Nazareth i thought was decent but the last two days it's just grown so much. Levitate and Dark Signs were huge growers too. The night does not belong to god, the offering, sugar were all instant loves. Higher is my favorite by them for sure.
Great album and one of the best tunes from Power Trio! Rest in Power "Professor"!
This song is about them! The 3 lonely travelers, "Men of Willowdale" that's where Alex and Geddy grew up. They "Travel the river Dawn" is them following the Dawn River to downtown Toronto where they recorded this album at "Mercury Records". The record company is "The Necromancer" and they are the "Snow Dog" standing up to and defeating the corporate establishment. Read the words and the story is clear. This is Neil really opening up and letting his creativity out as a young hungry artist.
The groove that starts at 5:00 is NASTY. React to CYGNUS X-1!!!!!!!!
The least successful album from Rush, but it's one of my favorite albums that they did. Thank you for reacting to this!
OMG, thank you.
First album i ever bought for Bastille Day at the age of 11 back in 78 ,heard The Necromancer and said bugger Bastille day.Got to see them on the Hemispheres tour in 79 for the first time,Im 54 years old now and saw the guys 112 times including the last night. :)
When you guys weren't yet a developed spermatozoa, me and my 16-20 year old friends were listening to this and wondering how we could begin to understand what we were hearing much less playing it live. 40+ plus years later it warms my heart to see young souls letting this brilliant music to continue to move people. I appreciate you guys.
You guys need to Start the story of CYGNUS X1 Book 1 The Voyage which ends A farewell to Kings album and then carries on the Hemispheres Book 2 album Should be listened one after the other
MANHATTENMAN ! YES! 🙏
Cinderella Man from Farewell to Kings is also a hidden gem.
The first 3 or 4 minutes have always reminded me of Pink Floyd, pretty cool. For more deep cuts try Fountains of Lamneth or Cygnus X Books 1 and 2. Even more epic!
I Hear "Have A Cigar".
Agreed. David Gilmore would dig it.
I remember as a young man buying these early Rush albums and there was such anticipation when you put the needle in the groove because you never knew what to expect. I mean this track ..who would think it would start with a spoken introduction. Rush were truly a unique group of 3 masters of their craft. I doubt there will ever be anyone like them.
Took the words out of my mouth.
Some of Geddy's best vocals here.
It was Tolkien inspired.
Their song Rivendell is a personal favorite of mine and sticks out in their catalog for it’s grace, quietness, and no drums.
Yeh its extremely Tolkien inspired, partly why it's so good, everything from the names to the necromancer to the 3 travelers starting there journey in a peaceful part off the world ending in the necromancer lair. I cannot listen to it enough, amazing peice of music.
I do love Caress of Steel, it showed what Rush would become a bit. But it definately shows youthful growing pains. They got so much better in transitions. 2112 began to show it there
💥THE GIRL WHO LISTENED TO RUSH💥
From the back of the stadium
She’s easy to see
Standing up at the stage
In her Starman tee
From Anthem to Limelight
To YYZ
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
And all of the rockers
And all of the heshers
Well they dreamed of the day
That they might get her
And drive her away
In a Red Barchetta
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
Philosophers and ploughmen
They can’t resist her call
They cannot choose
Not to decide
So they've got no choice at all
They've gotta love her
No she doesn’t say "Pert"
And she doesn’t say "Part"
Yeah, she knows it’s "Neil Peert"
‘Cause he’s close to her heart
Say a prayer for John Rutsey
He was there at the start
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
Philosophers and ploughmen
They can’t resist her call
They cannot choose
Not to decide
So they've got no choice at all
They've gotta love her
Why don’t girls ever listen to Rush? (X a lot)
But she listened to Rush!
The blacksmith and the artist
They can’t resist her call
You cannot choose
Not to decide
So you’ve got no choice at all
No you’ve got no choice at all
You’ve gotta love her!
Awesome Album! 😎✌️
This song is as mysterious, heavy, and haunting as the album cover.
I can’t believe no one has requested Closer To The Heart off Farewell To Kings! Great album. Xanadu is on it.
Rush'd again...always great to hear anything from them! Please review Marathon next and keep on rockin'! 🤘
You gotta love how it flows from side to side, feels like it's moving through your brain...
Cygnus X1 and Hemispheres Part 2 as a double header would be good next guys. Awesome as always
The Fountain of Lamneth should be next.
I REMEMBER SUGGESTING THIS! :)
Congratulations to one of the greatest songwriting teams in rock history... Elton John and Bernie Taupin, on their Oscar the other night. Time to give Elton John and this amazing songwriting team their propers...
"Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding"
"Madman Across The Water"
"Someone Saved My Life Tonight"
Almost half a century ago. Think about that
apparently they were quite high at times while recording this album; nonetheless, a highly under rated and under appreciated recording, I personally put it in my top three, along with A Farewell to KIngs and Hemisphere.
Fortunately not so high as to have been baked and not able to create this masterpiece.
I was a senior (1975-76)at UW and we used to go to cow pastures and pick mushrooms. Come home and watch Saturday night live and then Mellow out listening to the new Rush album
Whenever someone says that studio headphones makes a big difference in sound, I never believed them. That is until I got a pair, and omg it sounds so much better. This is one of my favorite Rush songs and there’s so many small details you can hear that you wouldn’t with normal headphones and it made the song feel more new after hearing 1000 times. The next songs you should check out from Rush are The Camera Eye (very underrated song from moving pictures with a great guitar solo at the end) Losing It from Signals, a very good song to listen to when you’re baked, and Open Secrets from Hold Your Fire, and has imo one of Alex’s best guitar solos. Btw love the channel I’ve prob watched about every 60s-80s rock video and shits gas
Hey guys congrats on 40k subs.
@Steve Bailen
Thank you!!! ❤️🔥
@@andyandalex Slowly getting there, guys. You'll hit your goal. Believe it! :)
here here!!
Thanks, Steve! That was very kind of you to update us all & give props to A&A! Great day to you! :)
@@lisaw5604 I love these guys. I'm a boomer and they appreciate the music that was the soundtrack to my life. I also respect that they play the song all the way through and then wait to comment.
this is excellent, love it guys, thanks
You need to realize this is their third album and only second one with Neil. Singing to Niel’s lyrics was a change from the first album that Geddy was still going through. Everything honestly was still changing and developing. Having heard maybe more of later albums first. From the first album “Rush” to “Fly By Night” to “Caress of Steel” you can here his voice evolve. These first few albums where exactly that ,the first! The first you’re hearing Geddy’s vocal abilities and bass, the first you’re hearing Alex’s runs, solos and rhythms. The first you’re hearing Neil’s complex melodic drum fills. These first three albums are the building blocks of what became 2112 musically at least. Neil wrote all the time. From then on the car was built, the engine was hot, it was time to put some miles on this sonic life chariot.
IMHO, the guitar solo in "Under the Shadow" is the greatest solo of all time. And this version is the greatest of all time. You watch guys like John Petrucci play this and he tries to turn it into a shredfest. This solo has so much freaking feeling to it. It was 1975 and nobody was ready for this. Caress of Steel was 10 years ahead of its time!
Hell, just do “Fly By Night”, still great roots Rush . I think you need it .
And A Farewell to Kings
Yeah Fly by Night another good choice also Red Alert and Working Man. Red Alert is a warning for us all to stop destroying the world very true today and into our future.
This was my first RUSH concert. I blame them.
Love Rush!
The whole Hemispheres album is the one you wake up and say "Did I just dream that?"
They already did Strangiato and maybe The Trees if I remember right.
ok, check out some Meatloaf, 1st Bat out of Hell, 2nd Paradise by the Dashboard light.
Tom Siler , meatloaf on the dashboard is unhealthy just ask Eddie from Rocky Horror! Ha Ha!
@@philstone3859 damn it Janet
the band should be put in jail, for not releasing a live version of this masterpiece on some of their live albums....... it's a crime against musical art
This tune created the ‘Prog Metal’ genre in 1975.
Finally!!!
One of my personal favorite
Cops at the scene of a late night accident: So, what happened exactly?
Driver: Well, I was listening to Rush's The Necromancer . . .
Cops: Say no more.
Jim Dandy(to the rescue) by Black Oak Arkansas. First 45 (vinyl single) I ever bought. Yes, I'm old. It's a fun song w/a wicked guitar solo. It's not even 3 minutes long so it won't take up much of your time.
"I was riding on a submarine,
Got a message from a mermaid queen,
She was hanging on a fishin' line,
Jim Dandy didn't waste nooo time,
Jim Dandy to the rescue."
You need to take this album and song in to context of Rush's evolution. Neil Peart joined the band after Rush's first album. They went on tour to promote the album. While on tour they wrote Fly By Night and recorded it in just a couple of weeks. Immediately after recording Fly By Night they toured to promote this album. While on tour they wrote Caress of Steel. At the end of the tour they recorded it. So these guys had only known one another for two years. And were still getting to learn how to play together as a unit. To already be so tight a unit in this amount of time is staggering to my mind. Once again proving what monster musicians each of them are.
My favourite albums by Rush bring back so many memories from back in the day. This album played at every party I went to when I was a kid if it was a house party or a party in the woods great album. Heres another band you guys really need to check out Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush another great band out of Canada. Very underrated band and Frank Marino is one of the most underrated guitar players EVER
Ten Years After, I'd Love To Teach the World. Awesome guitar work.
Change the World. Sorry, my bad...🙄
That is a great song. So, you have another person backing your request. :) I'm sure they'd love it! I have suggested on Patreon as well. * fingers crossed *
This whole song is just a dnd session with a backing track.
Great song breakdown by both Andy & Alex this week 🤘🏼 “The Necromancer” is truly another epic tale by RUSH. It’s not an everyday spin for me but definitely a treat when it’s time. A-
This song for me shows how the vocals are used as the music to lead up to the verse which is the guitar solo. Alex’s solo at times has similar up-and-down inflections like someone speaking as if confirming what the lyrics said. I’m so glad you got to this album. For some reason unbeknownst to me it seems to get left out when talking of Rush. That last little ending bit that repeated three or four times had so much emotion in it. It was the story’s danouemen. Fading out saying it’s all done we’re going home we’re going home. And that my friends is how you make almost 15 minutes of engaging, dripping with talent music.
I can sing along to this. 45 years karaoke! It’s a beautiful thing.
We used to play Dungeons & Dragons to this music in Junior High in 1981-1983!
Check out their song "Animate" from "Counterparts" album, it has insisting tempo.
yes! So good! Anything off the Counterparts album is a win.
@@lxdesign1 Absolutely, at first I kinda brushed it off because of its modern sound (I was listening to their "classic" stuff only), but right now Everyday Glory is starting to grow on me. Which is my "least" favorite song at the moment.
Like you said, any song off of that album is an excellent pick.
My favorite song on my favorite album!!! Counterparts does not get the love it deserves.
Yes! "Animate", "Cut to the Chase" and "Cold Fire" are my favorites from Counterparts.
@@henrikeatworld guitar solo on Cut to the Chase is choice.
