The Police won with perhaps the most boring pieces of music in history....and I'm dead serious, one of the most boring things I've ever listened to....same boring thing throughout the whole thing. Popularity pick that's for sure
You need to watch the documentary called RUSH “ Time Stand Still. It’s the whole story about Rush from the start to the end of the last curtain call . And after you watch it, you can give your thoughts about the best band in the World. ..!!!!!
Hey Rush Sister ❤ Love your pretty bass and I am glad you are getting inspired. YYZ is the indicator code for the Toronto International Airport and the beginning of the song is Morse Code for YYZ. Adorable Alex is also a licensed pilot and was flying them back to Toronto when Geddy and Neil heard it come on and the beat stuck with them. Fab song and that crowd was amazing! Cheers ❤
Thank you again Whimsy! I love your excitement and your bass looks awesome! What a way to be inspired, I would love to see you play the bass. There are a few songs from the album, "Hold Your Fire" that you already reacted to, and the meaning to the album has a double meaning. The other meaning to the album (besides the obvious), is hold that fire that is inside of you; that inspiration if you will, let it ignite and let it loose. Thank you again:)
@@robertl4104 My pleasure! Its been years since I played, just been needing the inspiration to get back into it. And I love that saying, Hold your fire. Ill try to do just that! And ill film myself trying to play lol
Your Next Version of this HAS to be the LIVE, Audio Version, from the Album, "Exit... Stage Left"!!! It has the BEST Neil Drum Solo Ever!!! (Sadly, there's Not a Video of that)
When they performed this live in Rio the crowd was so electric that the band members stated it elevated them. The fact that the entire crowd was chanting to the music as if there were lyrics was just mind blowing. I had never seen a crowd react to an instrumental in this way. Definitely a high point for the band when they played in Rio ! I’m glad you are inspired to pick up the bass again Whimsy, you keep slapping that bass !
I've been to 17 RUSH shows and every crowd was highly enthusiastic, but I've never been in a crowd like that! I remember when I got the DVD set and watched it for the first time I couldn't believe it. You can see in the band's faces how blown away they were!
Nobody reacts to the Exit Stage Left version that transitions into a drum solo 😢 Check out the opening from Geddy's solo album My Favorite Headache for some very cool bass 🤯
GREAT reaction Whimsy!! That is one beautiful bass - LOVE the design! Geddy would be proud! This song is one of my favourite instrumentals, of all time! (#3 on my Rush list). Such an intricate, but groovy trip! Every time I travel, and I see YYZ on my luggage and ticket, I know I'm going home! Which was the inspiration behind this track to begin with! Cheers from Canada, eh!!
@@EchoesDaBear thank you so much, designed it myself🤗 and what a delightfully lovely story about seeing YYZ on your luggage, knowing you are going back home. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling 🥲🤗🤘
Now you know the lyrics - nice job singing them after the live video! The graphics on that bass are so Whimsy, can't wait to see you play it! Don't worry if you're not as good as Geddy, nobody else around here is!
@@WhimsyMeadows I was just watching some of your earlier reactions and one of them prompted this suggestion: That really cool bass riff Geddy does in Malignant Narcissism at 1:26 in your reaction video - it's even got a great shot of his fingering and fretwork right there to help you learn it! (edited to add: youtube made the time mentioned above into a link that goes to this reaction video, not the one I was referring to, sorry if that caused any confusion)
This the best video quality I've seen so far from reactors. did see the tour in America back then best show for me love yyz. be happy to see some bass action whimsy, like the artwork also nice. need to purchase one again I'm not a bass player except for rush style, and heavy metal style by as natural default. but put on a drum track and hand me a bass and I'm jamming out! great reaction p.s. play school days by Stanley Clark haven't heard that for a while, then teach me lol take care
@@FlightinDarkness-eb7uh im so glad you are enjoying my reaction videos. You are so lucky to have seen the tour, I would have loved to. Videos are the best I've got lol. Love me some heavy metal. And I'll see if I can film myself a bit as I learn. 🤗🤘
@@WhimsyMeadows I am, u a add colorful dimension to my psyche lol Thanks, It's ironic for me almost proves something about trade off and worth concerning the powers that be because the real most important things I couldn't have and would have traded all my shows and a lot more to have possessed. so, in comparison I am always going to lose if weighed as a worth compared to the priceless personal lose and regret, so I envy people also for other reasons, so joy and tears are shared p.s. pick a rush song not to hard I learned Xanadu and closer to the heart on bass and guitar the drummer in me ran away however! lol
Love soooo much!!!!! We are soooo blessed to have those Three Stooges!!! :) :) :) ♥ ♥ ♥ 1st Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.
You could just just have all the instrumentals, joined in one play list. Neil said in one interview to all the parents who's children we inspired, we are sorry. Loved the Bass. If you looking for some funky crowd action Depeche Mode "Never Let Me down" and see the Crown do the Wave with Dave. (Also good if your into motorcycles)
Well, actually... The band proposed an alternate (hilarious!) pronunciation in the official music video. Check it out! (you have to let the video play past the end of the song to catch it)
@@scottdpublic i did some research after the comment and saw that Canadians say zed instead of zee. And apparently most other countries. After America won the war and separated from England, they chose to do a lot of things differently, and this might have been one of them eh?
The song is "YYZED" not "YYZEE". YYZ is the code for Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Rush is Canadian and there is no such thing as "ZEE" in our alphabet. Thanks for the post anyway.
Live in Rio was the craziest most energized audience they ever had. They were quite overwhelmed.
@@JeffMeyers-zm2lh their hearts must have been pounding so hard while performing, mine would have been lol
This really should have won the Grammy for best instrumental. The musicianship is just off the scale from all 3. xx
Agreed to everything you just said. It definitely should have. I love The Police but YYZ was so deserving of it!
@@michaelatkinson8291 i simply adored it. The songs been stuck in my head all day lol

That’s why they are the best there is, the best there was, AND the best there ever will be.🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎹🚫🎤
@@ZIG4ZAG20 from what I've seen so far, I totally agree!🤗🤘
Maybe the Live in Rio version isn't the best, but it's the most incredible !
@@edgarpacifico3421 i loved the high energy, made me feel like I was there lol 🤗🤘
Woo Hoo! YYZ! 🤯 Your Bass is gorgeous! 🥰🐰
@@cityhonors1 awww thank you!! I designed her myself 🤗🦊🤘
YYZ is a good challenge and reasonably difficult on bass. Some fills might be tricky.
I'd love to see you try, even your initial struggles and wins.
Thank you! Then ill def try to capture these moments on film!

@@Simon-RucknRideAUD love Depeche Mode, saw them in concert. Ill def have to do that
Airbrushed art on your bass? Beautiful.
@@trevalarose8155 thank you! I enjoyed decorating it 🤗🤘
@WhimsyMeadows cool looking bass. Would be perfect for any Living Colour song.
The instrumental you can sing along with! 😊😎
@@TreysLosingItRapidly i had this song stuck in my head all day lol. Singing along while washing dishes
For bass gotta listen to Leave That Thing Alone from time machine tour. Geddy is on fire and adds some stuff to the original track
@@AaronRothschild-zo5tj omg I love it already n I haven't even heard it yet lol. Its def on my list now 🤗🤘
Just for fun sometime, the "exit stage left" version includes a drum solo.
@@andyreid6826 oh wow, I love Neils drum solos...they are so intense! I reacted to his Malignant Narcissism video. Just WOW
Fun song! The Rio version is all about the audience!
@@RayEvans-j1q crazy energy!
Thought they were going to be singing in the music, lol
@@gypsyhughes30 ikr, they keep surprising me with their songs, I never know what to expect next
There is singing in the live version. The audience is singing the melody all the way through.
@@kentgreer1079 this is true! I LOVED it!
Please do an album reaction to Moving Pictures. You'll love it!
@@donovanemery597 a whole album reaction eh? Not a bad idea. I can't get enough of their music
They are chanting like they do at football (soccer) matches.
@@gold98gtp yes, I've seen them do the same thing at wrestle mania, I love the energy!
lol @ I wish.
@@thatsnice99 😅
Everybody has the same reaction to YYZ: that's all? No!
@@mlinderict i could put that on a loop
Alex and Geddy have always had the magic. Listen to Here Again from the first album, even without Neil there's something special about these guys
why not the official clip ? great reaction
BTW, its a soccer stadium not an arena
VERY tough to play on bass!! Trust me!! Nice Dean!
Don't just hold it!! Play it!!!
If you want any advice (bass-wise) I've been playing since the early 80's. Old fart!
@@Johnny67557 any song ideas for a beginner? Or any videos?
@@WhimsyMeadows I think Ghost of a Chance or Tears would be a good (more mellow) place to start. Listen for Geddy's plucking style.
It's actually pronounced "Why Why Zed."
Cool reaction though!
@@SnowDogisVictorious sorry, I'm just an American fan lol. Glad you enjoy my reactions 🤗🤘
Well, actually... The band proposed an alternate (hilarious!) pronunciation in the official music video. Check it out! (you have to let the video play past the end of the song to catch it)

Canadians pronounce Z as "Zed", same as UK
Why Why Zed? Why Why Zee? According to the official music video it's a word that rhymes with 'fizz'! 😂
ua-cam.com/video/ftVTWDrtrlc/v-deo.html
The song is "YYZED" not "YYZEE". YYZ is the code for Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Rush is Canadian and there is no such thing as "ZEE" in our alphabet. Thanks for the post anyway.
