I’ve been a fan since ‘76 and I’m
63 and still a fan.
Count me in since 1978, and now Im 65..ssamething I guess:-). The only music I basically listen to these days other then IRON MAIDEN. Well 80-20 in favor of The Irons!
Moon, Peart, McBrain. Enough said
Don't leave me out,..fan since 80 and still is,.. this is one of my favorite album,...60 yrs young and still RUSH💪🏾
52 seen em in St Louis, summer of 92 june 12 on the Roll The Bones tour...In an outdoor seated area on a beautiful summer evening. Not too hot or cold, drove from Peoria IL to St.Louis with my buddy George..Kinda odd they had Mr.Big open for them. I remember them playing this song...Wish I could rewind the clock 🕒
Been listening since Moving Pictures came out and Tom Sawyer was the first song I ever heard. Went to Power Windows concert in Maryland back in 85. Been rockin on since 🤘🤘🤘
Never judge a RUSH album against another. They are all works of art at different stages of their careers.
That's what makes Rush the undisputed masters of prog!! No two albums are the same!
Well said
Except Presto....that one can stay in a closet. :)
Well albums are one thing, individual songs... like Virtuality 😣🙄😣 that are painful to listen to, are quite another!
Agreed
One of their criminally underrated songs
I agree
Nothing they do is underrated. Everything they do is a masterpiece.
Grace Under Pressure is underrated.
My favorite rush song!
It was all over MTV at the time
RIP Neil Peart, 1952-2020. There have been many great drummers- and then there was Neil.
Gone too soon. RIP, NEAL PERT.
RIP Professor.
What a tough and talented man he was... A true Canadian!
"Your favorite drummer's favorite drummer"!
My favorite rock drumming is Clive Burr, the first 3 iron maiden albums, hes friggin intense.
Masterpiece 💫✨️
To all those who say that this Rush video is bad, remember...
"Rush" and "bad" can never be in the same sentence :)
Herald Yoman The album "Presto" proved you wrong.
Pedro Calmon well I suppose the loophole is that Presto is a "bad-ass album."
Herald Yoman And it's the 80's. Videos like this were popular.
+Pedro Calmon Presto was good. I'd say you're on drugs, but even people stoned out of their minds can appreciate Rush in it's entirety.
+Collin Campbell I'd have to disagree with you about the quality of Presto. I think it's easily their second worst album. It held the title until Snakes & Arrows came out. Yechhhhh.
RIP To Neil Peart The Greatest Drummer Of All Time In Rock History.
yeah-huge neil fan here-also might include ginger baker and jim fox from the james gang in that class as well-jim is the only one left now at 72 yrs.old
aitech nasus Not the greatest, but definitely in the top 10.
Yes, the greatest of all
I love Neil. He's in my top 5 favorite drummers along with Bill Ward, Cozy Powell, Phil Collins and Bill Bruford.
@@thewal1ofsleep Bill ward??? No, man!
My god, Alex's playing and tone gives me chills. His sound on this is the holy grail for me.
U cudnt be more right about that! Epic!
Dude. I love Alex’s playing in the early 80’s. Actually love all his playing but I am a sucker for that early 80’s sound. Andy summers had the same sound in a lot of ways.
He's the best. Have you seen Come on Children (1973)? He's but a young lad in that
@@rbjax2001 '81 was my favorite year of rush. Moving Pictures & Exit Stage Left was a period where Alex began using a little more Fender guitars while getting the best imo sounds out of Gibsons I've ever heard. It was that in between period after the minimalistic guitar/Amp setup and before the synth heavy / polished effects precessors sounds. I liked all three but prefer that goldilocks 1977-81 period.
For me, one of his best albums along with maybe Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures...
Most musically talented rock band of all time
Seriously. Every single one of them was just incredibly phenomenal. It's hard to even put into words.
Yes. They were so good.
@@davegto67 Indeed, Yes were so good. :-) I love both bands.
close but no cigar. Listen to steely dan
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a band more “on the same page” than Rush. In such complete and total unity of sound and purpose between the three legendary players. Each song is just beautiful to experience…
RIP Neil. A huge loss to Canada and the world. Exit the Warrior!
Nice! Neil was one of thee very, very best...
Rush performing.... they are missed!!!!
'When I heard that you were gone, I felt a shadow cross my heart.'
Three years ago today…feels as though he’s been gone a lifetime. Rest up, legend. 🙏🏻♥️
Follow the guitar the whole way thru: dominant, driven, melodic, builds and releases tension, it tells a story. His playing is on a different level than most rock guitarists, he is so underrated.
Lifesons guitar does add unequalled atmospherics.. think red barchetta witch hunt subdivisions.. you are literally in the movie.
I agree. This has Always been one of my Favorite works from Alex. He simply Owns this song...👏👏👏
He might actually be the best guitarist ever and sadly, but definitely, hes the most underrated and underappreciated...
In some instrumental ways hes actually the best electric ever > 3:01
Not under-rated by me!
To understand the literal meaning of the term, 30+ years later, this might help:
"The Distant Early Warning Line, also known as the DEW Line or Early Warning Line, was a system of radar stations in the northern Arctic region of Canada, with additional stations along the north coast and Aleutian Islands of Alaska (see Project Stretchout and Project Bluegrass), in addition to the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland. It was set up to detect incoming bombers of the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and provide early warning of any sea-and-land invasion." (Wikipedia)
Great classic 👌 😊
RUSH is the perfect example of the type of music we would get so much more of if the music industry weren't such an ungodly disaster.
so true
What a load of crap.
Clinical and sterile and contrived music is terrible, that's why I despise RUSH.
@@alanstrom2221 then why are you here
you've just shown your taste and lack of intelligence, my guess. is your opinion of a good band is poison or night ranger
Look for truth in the lyrics:
An ill wind comes arising
Across the cities of the plain
There’s no swimming in the heavy water -
No singing in the acid rain
Red alert
Red alert
It’s so hard to stay together
Passing through revolving doors
We need someone to talk to
And someone to sweep the floors -
Incomplete
Incomplete
The world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy -
But I worry about you
I know it makes on difference
To what you’re going through
But I see the tip of the iceberg -
And I worry about you…
Cruising under your radar
Watching from satellites
Take a page from the red book -
Keep them in your sights
Red alert
Red alert
Left and rights of passage
Black and whites of youth
Who can face the knowledge
That the truth is not the truth?
Obsolete
Absolute
Absalom
Absalom
Rush's "Grace Under Pressure" album has aged very gracefully.
How could a three-man band be so AWESOME???
They were all the best of their ability in their musical position. Geddy Lee, Neil Peary and Alex Lifeson.
Primus, The Police, and Rush
@@willbracken2367 motorhead, nirvana, muse...
Easy. You RUSH into it
They’re no Rush, but don’t forget another great three-man Canadian band, Triumph.
Alex’s compositional genius on full display in this song.
“Suddenly, you were gone, from all the lives you left your mark upon.”
-Afterimage
I'll miss you my strangest friend. My mentor . . RIP Neil . .
I feel the way you would
@@BollyBibby I have memory and awareness. But I have no shape or form.
I can only possibly fathom the lyrics Neil came up with in his final moments
just geddy lee doing vocals, bass, keyboard, and amplifier
Amplifier my favorite instrument 🗿
Ironically geddy was one of the first bass players to stop using traditional amps on stage
@@FarewelltokingzLOL
It still sounds fresh today ❤😊
Rush gets never old. 40 Years old this song, unbelievable ❤
It does
I love Rush
One of the most underrated guitarists ever. Boy can play!
Trevin Larkin alexxxx
Definitely underrated. His solos are something to behold
Ed Van Halen agrees as well
To think Alex and Geddy started this in high school....Imo the best 3 piece band in the world
What many fail to realize is as a Rhythm guitarist he is very advanced and never creates anything but exiting ideas and fills in a lot of space . He never needed to have crazy extended soloing to prove he is a master musician but I do wish some solos with that guitar tone in the 80’s were extended a few more bars lol including marathon where he could have really went wild . Alex always will be a hero of mine as Geddy and Neil will
My first Rush album... Fly by Night, I was 15..now I'm 58 and Rush still Rules!!!!!
What a load of crap.
Clinical and sterile and contrived music is terrible, that's why I despise RUSH.
@@alanstrom2221 you live a sad life then! Rush is amazing
@@alanstrom2221 Than why are you here? Dumbask
@@alanstrom2221 are you for real? really? OMG, my life long (since 1980) love, 40+ years now ... OMG, shut up, NOW
POST MY REPLY NOW
It does not get any more 1984 than this. The defining music video.
So '84. I so this those days.
I loved this song, it saved me from suicide attempt early. Rest in peace Rutsey, I admire you from the depth of my drummer soul
Rutsey?
LOVE YOU FRIEND. NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!! 🖤💜
@tzt1182 Yes, both drummers of Rush died 😢
What an angel might sing to a mortal -- "The world weighs on my shoulders -- but what am I to do? ...I know it makes no difference to what you're going through, but I see the tip of the iceberg and I worry about you." Keep your eyes to the skies, good people. One of the most dynamic and thought-provoking Rock tunes -- ever.
"The world weighs on my shoulders, but what am I to do?"
RUSH knows. The Muse who inspired 2112, Anthem, Free Will, and Tom Sawyer told them....
Shrug.
@@cedk144 What total bullshit. The ignorance about lyrically thought out music is strong with rand-fanboys
Or a Canadian to an American.
Well stated! This song (along with many of their works and their lyrical messages) really touches my heart..
Yes! Rush, and Neil Peart in particular, aren't recognized enough for their brilliant, meaningful lyrics, where they did deliver anyway. (Not sure if Neil was a contributing lyric writer on this song or not, but know many other's he did) May you be at restful peace forever with your family Mr. Peart!!
Geddy Lee doing Canada proud with a FINE hockey-hair mullet for the ages.
I'm so sad that version of Canada is all but dead...
@@AUniqueHandleName444dead and gone. Thanks to Globalism
Neil’s is pretty banging as well
For a good 10 or 15 years Geddy was competing for worst hairstyle in rock, that's for sure. Good thing that dude can play bass like a MF.
Absolutely RIP Neil!! Been a Rush fan since 87. I'm 54 now and still listen to them!!
The first time I went to Montana I finally realized what they meant about 'big sky'. The first time I heard rush I understood 'big music'. These three gentlemen captured lightning in a bottle. God put them together.
Without a doubt!!
I remember driving towards Montana from Idaho and saying to my wife, "What does big sky even mean? The sky is the same size everywhere. It's visually even bigger when there aren't any mountains blocking it..."
That lasted about 30 minutes of actually being in Montana haha
This is My Rush Album. First Rush Concert.🤗🤗🤗
Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows don't get the love they deserve.
your right engi
+Mabase Ironic how another user of tf2 knows of rush's work
+Toasty Engineer well he is the engineer
+Mabase You are so right.Grace Under Pressure introduced me to Rush at the tender age of 18 (I'm 49 now)and Power Windows has my all time fav track on it Marathon.Been to see them twice at the 02 because of those two albums and they were fantastic both times.
+Toasty Engineer I was just thinking that!
Rush is my favourite band of all times. I never get bored of listening to Rush.
Same, and I swear I get something new out of their songs whenever I hear them. THAT, to me, is the measure of great music. Proud to call them Canadian!
Deliriomind
Amen..best band ever.
To think some people would choose lil' (insert stupid title here) over this amazing band.
Mine too they are the best band ever
Seen them 34 times
Look at the date it was posted
+McBagey 3spooky5me
LOL
21/12/2012. lol
all of their videos were posted on that day
what so special about that date?
Alex's guitar work on Grace under Pressure is amazing 👍 This is one of my favorite albums from their "keyboard" Era.
Rush is one of those unique bands with a unique sound an doesn't appeal to most hard rock/prog rock fans. In the 80's, liking Rush often got you labeled as a nerd or egg head, and back then I couldn't figure out why. Sure, I was isolated a bit for loving Rush, but they gave me a confidence and strength that I never knew I had, because I loved Rush, but couldn't care less about being popular. Once I heard "Subdivisions", as a kid; I was hooked.
When I was 17, I got to see them for the first time at MSG, NYC in 82 during Signals. Before I got there, I had NO clue what songs they did. Then, by the time the concert was over, it was as if I had an epiphany and saw them 7 more times to include R40. RIP Neil, you crafted so many greats with your pals. You'll never be forgotten.
I remember when this came out, couldn’t stop listening to this whole album. The best TRIO!!
I am a Canadian and I approve this message.
My Brothers from another Mother ..I'm From America
Saddened to hear of the death of Neil Peart. One of the greatest drummers of all time. RIP Neil.
One of the best lyricists also
Words and meaning rings true today as strongly as when they wrote it. Such great storytellers and prophets alike. RIP Neil.
That period they were somewhere between science fiction&military industrial commentary.
I do not often watch music videos, but one can feel the energy when Lifeson and Lee turn to each other. Neil Peart gets into it.
Thank you Neil. I’ll never forget playing air drums as a 13 year old boy pretending I’m in front of 40,000 fans while listening to “Exit Stage Left”. I’m so heartbroken. I pray you are at peace with your wife & daughter
Sheldon Cooper would love Rush ❤😂Anyone else agree???
I think he'd love it 😂
Omg yes I agree
I don't think he finds music practical. He listens to Bach and Mozart ironically when he's doing chores, just because there's good science behind it's benefits on the mind.
Mr Peart hit those drums full force even when “drum synching” for a video shoot. Look at how he it those fills. Unreal.
RIP Neil 😢🥁🕯 This is one of my top 10 favorite rock songs of all time.
It does not get any better than this! 3 Of the most incredibly talented musicians ever!
This song gets a hard W. Epic.
I am 69 years old, love Rush! Great band! Geddy, little jewish man, you made great music! RIP Neil!
Didn't know that Geddy was Jewish. Thank you for pointing that out. His parents were holocaust survivors, which I also didn't know. Wow. I always did like the ending of this song:
"Absalom
Absalom
Absalom"
Now I have a better idea where that came from.
@@Jorge-mg7or Red Sector A literally talks about the holocaust
Lifeson's shimmering chords make this song the powerhouse that it is.
The drums in this is what I love!
That bassline though... the 3 wizards at work! Amazing tune
No doubt I agree!
I agree! Alex is a guitar god. . .
Defiantly an Andy summers inspired song
Geddy may not be screaming and there may be synth, but this is one of their heaviest rocking songs in my opinion.
im very young, only 14, but my dad turned me on to Rush and they already mean the world to me. im trying to learn their songs on guitar...
I'm pretty sure this video was shot in the 80s. I don't have any proof, but call it a hunch
LMFAO! Best comment here :)
yeah think? lmao
Was a tolerable album, as you can plainly see, this was the start of their electronic experiment, which went bad, with the release of the Hold Your Fire and pretty much anything up too Test For Echo.
More tolerable than Geddy's screeching pre-1980.
Yes, it was. A video ahead of its time back then.
1984 was a really good year for music.
One of my favorite Rush videos and songs RIP Neil
Great to see Neil in top form,never knew him personally but still miss him.
Cool suit that Alex is wearing here. He looks great in it!
The lyrics from Pert, not even mentioning his phenomenal drumming makes Rush an exceptional band.
RIP Neil. Thank you for my childhood/teenage memories. 💔😪
this guys will never sound OBSOLETE, simply amazing, cannot stop listening
Rush is timeless. In 50 years from now they will be up to the date
True, they are way ahead of their time ❤
Watching this in 2020. They paranoia, fear, and slightly depressing feeling of this song is extraordinarily relevant right now.
2021 and it is apparent now as very true.
@@quantumbitz3473 Wait and see whether there's an explosive ending to NATO's Operation Sea Breeze 2021 in the Black Sea.
Incredible song. It still gives me chills every time
Love the 80's Rush, with a lot of synths, great guitar solos and amazing drums!
And thunderous Wal Bass attacks!
Next to the late seventies prog period it's probably my favorite era of the band and when I first discovered them.
Never got to see RUSH or Floyd in concert. Damn if those two ever played together, that concert would rock the World! :-) Peace.
I love Rush from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s.
Rush needed to just be themselves. I heard Geddy Lee comment about PR pressure to conform to label pressure and 80's fashions/instruments ... SO glad they ditched it to just be themselves again .... BUT their music did NOT suffer - that is true
My favorite Rush album.
One of my favorite Rush songs . Still sounds good 38 years later .
RUSH is another nameof "perfection"
I absolutely ADORE Rush and their tendencies to touch the very nerves with their music, but in a good way!
so MTV and so 80s! gotta love it! RUSH forever!
nowadays MTV SUCKS! With shows like "pregnant at 16" it just went completely out of order.
Hey buddy, haha, nice picture.
I can remember how cool Distant Early Warning was when it debuted on MTV We all cut our hair short on top with a tail that summer to look like Neil Peart.
I have too many "favorite"Rush songs so I will list a few of my First favorite...I lived ,I think I'm going bald ,working man ,how can you argue with closer to the heart...cant forget that the oaks can't help their problems,they like they're made.why can't the maples be happy in our shade??(the trees)thank God I saw four shows ...thanx guys for 45-50 years musical perfection at so many different levels...RIP Neil
RIP neil peart. Thanks for everything!
1984. What great memories.
RIP Neil Peart..❤🤘
RIP Neil thank you for the music
Man, I can't add up all the experiences I've had seeing Rush in concert and just living my life and the chapters of it with Rush in it. All just great musicians and their performances live well unbelievable. I'm 64 now and have been listening to them since 1972.
I highly recommend you lend an ear to Tyler Warren and his covers of Permanent Waves and GUP. I only saw Rush live five times starting in '84 and ending at the Forum in 2015, but every show was incredible.
King of Rock music
Never forget Neil Peart... He is (was) a force of nature... Miss him... 🙏❤🥁🪘
Great song from a truly great album. The crescendo from 3:20 to the 3:55 highlights Geddy’s excellent vocals, Neil’s bracing lyrics and the tightness of this trio’s unmatched musical synchrony.
R.I.P Mr.Peart...a legend 😔🥁🍻💔
If only neil couldve written something about todays situation, definitely wouldve been the greatest song of our generation.
This is how I will always remember Neil. Young and vibrant and behind his (this) bright red drum set.
I see your point. But - to me - it'll be the longer hair, the moustache, the kimono on stage and a drum fill that covered a 270-degree arc from left to right. R.I.P. Professor.
Lost my grandmother and Neil on the same day. It was tough but they both meant so much to me in their own ways
My favorite Rush song. Broad in scope but narrow in focus. My dad was USAF, and spent the last years of his career in SAC in the '80s. The lyrics make me imagine a nuclear bomber pilot on a doomsday mission thinking about a loved one back home as the plane nears the target.
And one would hope a thought would cross their mind about the people making breakfast there were streaking towards. But I suppose that would be a tough burden...
I remember this time when the music scene was pushing a new wave sound and Rush put this record out and blew away the new wave acts clean out of the water. Rush, kicking ass and taking names!\m/
Make my day, punks. Rush was the bomb.
Rock on!🖖
"you sometimes drive me crazy, but i worry about you" 🎶
I love early Rush. All the wolds a stage is a killer album.
I could never really get into this later stuff. RIP Neil, 1970`s Rush killer!
I feel the same about early Rush. I too could never get into what they were doing in the 80's and 90's. The last album that I feel is truly great Rush material would be Signals - but even that one is a stretch. My favourite album is Farewell to Kings. Hemispheres and Fly By Night are locked in 2nd and 2112 and their debut Rush are tied for 3rd. That said, Caress of Steel is a fine album too! So many amazing songs!
Like you said, 1970's had some killer Rush music!
I agree. Signals was the last great Rush album and even then it was straddling the line between Prog-Rush and Synth-Rush that Rush became. You cannot beat their first 8 albums. No comparison.
sooo many amazing songs.. this may be one of the hidden gems.. love this album
"Red Alert" - "Red Alert" ... and it's printed in green !!
You are so right> I did not pay attention until you said something.
That was supposed to be a period. OOPS!
+Johnnysynth They're just trying to screw with colourblind people.
Johnnysynth probably lifeson's idea.
Maybe it's because they used a green monochrome monitor at that time, I guess ;)
That modified Strat, bridge humbucker, metallic red with black pickguard, is my all time favorite guitar, I drooled over it in the 80's.
It's actually a mirror pickguard! It seems to be a pretty rare model as well, since hardly any '70s Strats' with matching headstocks were made.
Still impossible to believe that he is gone.
***R.I.P. "THE PROFESSOR" NEIL ELLWOOD PEART 09/12/1952 - 01/07/2020***
I loved that they incorporated the music videos for this song and Subdivisions for the R40 Tour, that was one of the best shows I've ever been to
This is Rush in their 'Miami Vice' fashion phase.
It was 1984, the same year Miami Vice premiered.
However, drummers never change! lol
LOL!! ...
More like Toronto Vice
Who didn't go through a Miami Vice phase? White pants probably still in the back of my drawer..
First song I ever heard them sing, seriously I thought there was more band members. They work real good together. Love them
Rip Neil pearl. One of my all time heroes. I can't believe he's gone 😢. I remember when I first heard thus song I couldn't believe a drummer was capable of such amazing lyrics. Not to mention his skill level that reached height not even John bonaham could've reached. Neal drums were the beat of life he transpired the sounds of the world through his drumming and rhythm.
Song's awesome and the video is incredible
I wish the old ROCK music would have stayed today what the hell happened my god it will never be the same the rock is history it's gone for ever and ever so sad 😭 But I listen to the same old ROCK music still thank god for that ✌️️
Peace Love ROCK ON 🤘🏻
and when this came out, the previous generation was saying the same thing about THEIR music, and the generation before that etc. the problem with this is that you and everyone else who says this aren't into music, you have attached great childhood memories to the music of your era and nothing can compare to that. there's just as much good music being made now, as there ever has been, you just have to look for it.there has always been good music being made, and shit music being made. pop music has always been shit for the most part. if that's where you're looking you're going to be disappointed no mater which era. If you're a music fan, you will always good music.
Now you have to live with listening to new age pop rap garbage for the rest of existence
u rock hun!
Wait...are you a female? Rush doesn't have any female fans!!!
this band is unrivaled
Outstanding, I love RUSH 💯💯💯
Rush probally the Greatest Rock Band ever especislly being a three peice went from Creating some of the Most Iconic Rock Music ever to leading a revolution in new atmospheric music where finding a conection to thr music was more of a feeling than Rocking out but still you have the dynamics that Rush invented that kicked ass for this new Form of music
The greatest long live Neil Peart!!!
RIP Neil. You will always be one of my idols.
