2:01 Love, Love That nostalgic clip tie-in with Chester (I). Humorously memorable. I like the pre and post song reaction clips on this one a lot too. It feels like a best of the best reactions complication in a well edited groove. Well Done, You.
As a young black man growing up in Southern Florida, this was one of those songs I heard when I hung out with my white friends who listened rock. When this came out, I was 16 years old, had only listened to R&B at that point...then BAM! Rush...that was the start of me enjoying rock...classic rock.
@ if you have to ask, you don’t need to know. As a black teen growing up in a predominantly black neighborhood, I didn’t have access to this form of music. Don’t turn a positive into a negative.
My ex husband is the biggest Rush fan, and my kids surprised him for his birthday and got a piece of the floor from where they produced that song in this video!!!! We have it framed. 😊

Three musical & magical geniuses creating their incredible pieces. Always good to hear their works of art. Appreciation to you WonderMomma for sharing this one!
RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR!

You killed it again, WonderMommaOG. Thank you. I can't believe people are just discovering a band I've been listening to since middle school over 40 years ago.
The thing that has always impressed me the most is the way Rush performed with such intricacies and precision and power while cranking out so many unique and beautiful sounds truly masterful 🤘🎸❤️🔥
Yet another outstanding compilation video, Momma!! Rush is one of my favorite bands, and one of my favorites to see people react to for the first time. Even people that might not know much about music recognize Neal's greatness and most are amazed that the wall of sound they're hearing is coming from only 3 guys! "Tom Sawyer" seems to be a pretty common entry level Rush song, much like "The Pot" for Tool, but usually is just the beginning of the rabbit hole. Take care Momma, and I'm so sorry about your cat. Looking forward to your next project ✌️
Fantastic OG, and so very glad you created it. I have watched Derek Brooks ... numerous times,... Steel sharpens Steel ... and leads to great tributes to the best music . All is good when so many from all over can agree . and the rest of us can witness.
My favourite band from the age of 14, I’m now 56! Love these guys so much, thank you for this Momma. Got to see them live here in the UK, Canada and in Tampa, USA on their final tour (R40). RIP Neil, your drumming & lyrics inspired so many people. If you want to dive into some earlier songs, please check out Xanadu from the Exit Stage Left live tour. Lots of reactions to that track. Thanks again ❤
All that amazing sound from 3 incrediblely talented guys. Sweet candy for the ears. Their messages r always so on point. LEGENDS! Thanx so much Momma, hope ur holding up, take care, Peace
I love Rush! I saw them in Birmingham, AL, in 86. BOC opened for them. Such a great concert. Thank you! I love watching people react to the music I love! Tom Sawyer is one I love! We were spoiled for choice in music in the 70s and 80s. We took it for granted too.
You hit another game winner, Momma! This song and this band are forever in our hearts and minds ❤ Your comp is wonderful, the little Chester Cheetah clip in the beginning is awesome 🤩 And I didn't knew that Leo did a cover of this song, thanks for including in this video 😊 Thank you so much for another great compilation reaction video, your're the best! 👏🏻
These mashups really capture the excitement of hearing a song for the first time in a way a single reaction just can't (although I love the single reactions too)! Thank you so much for these, along with your touches in the making-of section at the end!
Fantastic job. Rush were such a special band man, love seeing people reacting to this one, especially first timers. I was fortunate to see them live 13 (lucky!) times all in Toronto at various venues. Fond memories of half a dozen at Maple Leaf Gardens. Thanks for this!
This is my personal theme song. I was the last to leave my high school parking lot after graduation in 1988. In my '79 Chevy Malibu, windows down, cranked it when exiting the lot, tires spitting gravel. It became my exit theme for all moments of change.
RUSH........The absolute best progressive rock band of all time. The excellence of their talent overflows in the music. I almost stop hearing the music here cuz I can't believe what I'm seeing. So focused on 3 men that take my emotions on this crazy ride. Outta breath like my guy in the car🙋♀️I don't think they've had any formal training I believe their self-taught (correct me if I'm wrong) Just a couple of kids from a small town with the same passion for music 🥁🎸🎙️👏👏👏
WonderMommaOG you're the best best best. So well done, and always picking great songs too. Thanks. Is a live version of Xanadu on your list somewhere? Seeing Rush do it live always seems to stun people.
@@WonderMommaOG keep your head up momma and I’m always here for you, thank you for being such a kind a genuine individual. Don’t let anyone tell you less💙💙💙
RUSH entered my life when I was 16 back in 1974 and saw them four times and the rest is HISTORY..Us Boomers saw the best bands in History, and you all missed it..
How lucky we were. ❤❤ Saw almost all the bands back then. Best concert I ever went to was Pink Floyd's " Dark Side of the Moon" in 1973. Blew my mind. Elton John I saw 5 times. He ages like a fine wine. Led Zeppelin 5 times too. Wish I could go back in time & see them all again. Can't forget Bowie. Saw him twice. ✌️🌻🌻
Rush!!!! Peart!! Geddy!!! powerful, finely crafted hard rock song with a punchy yet deeply philosophical message...The song is based on Mark Twain's 1876 novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which all three members of Rush have studied in school. The song's original lyrics were inspired by Twain's book, and paints a modern-day, more mature portrait of the same rebellious free spirit that defines the song and the story's titular character. I LOVE THIS SONG! ❤️ Wondermomma perfect choice! You did it again! 👏 much love to you ❤
The time signature changes in this song are INSANE. These guys are elite master musicians. Just consider that Getty is playing bass, keyboards AND singing lead vocals! Mind blowing. Rush and Steely Dan are probably the most impressive bands in terms of their musicianship.

My favorite band ever, thank you so much for taking the time to do this, your work is amazing. 🥁🎸🎹🎙
Loved the family guy throw in too! It ain't easy....bwahaha!!!
Released in 1981 and this song still holds up. Rush. What a band! RIP Neil. 🔥🤘🏼❤️

Without R&B no rock so, it all works out.
@@bengelman2600 Damn right!!
What does black have to do with it?
@ if you have to ask, you don’t need to know. As a black teen growing up in a predominantly black neighborhood, I didn’t have access to this form of music. Don’t turn a positive into a negative.
No matter how many times you've listened to Tom Sawyer, it feels like the first time every time. 🔥
My ex husband is the biggest Rush fan, and my kids surprised him for his birthday and got a piece of the floor from where they produced that song in this video!!!! We have it framed. 😊
😮😮😮 DUDE!! That is amazing
Absolutely legendary 😮
Chester Cheetah was a nice touch! 😂
Excellent touch!!🤘
I was gonna say the same thing LOL
I love seeing a new generation hearing some of the best music created. Nothing today compares to it.
I’ve got to admit it’s really fun for me. Kind of gives me hope that the future still recognizes greatness
Ok
The best reaction compilation channel on YT! Keep 'em comin OG Momma!
I agree.
I agree.
Agreed!
Fax
Yes
My favorite Neil Peart story-
His mother once asked him why he never smiles during gigs.
"These songs are hard to play right, Mom! I have to focus."
One of their most famous songs, but also one of their most radio friendly. Just happy people are still discovering them.

As a 54 yo dude from Spain Who loves Rush since the 80's it's so cool to see people discovering this giant band. Nice video
RIP Professor. Classic song from a legendary band. Great choice Momma. GOt to see RUSH live many times. They are legendary

A proud Canadian here of this Canadian 🇨🇦 classic band 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One of 3 great things that Canada gave to the world. It comes in just below hockey and just above beer.
Best thing Toronto ever produced... Great compilation WonderMomma
Tom Sawyer is one of the greatest songs ever !
OH HECK YEAH. I needed this tonight. Thanks for doing two Rush songs on your channel!
I hope to do many, many more! Hi to you and Andrea!
Fantastic OG, and so very glad you created it.
I have watched Derek Brooks ... numerous times,... Steel sharpens Steel ... and leads to great tributes to the best music .
All is good when so many from all over can agree . and the rest of us can witness.

Yep, another banger! Super job Wonder Momma🔥💯👍🤘🙌👏can't wait for the next one ❤
I love watching newby’s seeing Rush for the first time. I saw them in concert 3 times in the 70’s. Blown away every time.
Great job WonderMomma. And, great song!
Crazy to think that a song (album) I was listening to more than 40 years ago still gets this sort of reaction from so many.
I watched most of these by themselves.
This was better.
Thank you.
Nicely done.
Thank you for doing these - fantastic work. Rush changed my life so I kinda know what you mean
The first time I heard Rush,was my HS senior year 1976, The 2112 album,I had those reactions. Rush is Sensational. RIP Niel..
Neil is one of the greatest behind the drum kit. Thank you for the video Momma.❤️🤘
I’m always down for reactions to this masterpiece! Like Cliff Beats, I’m always still amazed that THREE people created this sound..it’s crazy talent!
Love your efforts WonderMomma... thank you...
All that amazing sound from 3 incrediblely talented guys. Sweet candy for the ears. Their messages r always so on point. LEGENDS! Thanx so much Momma, hope ur holding up, take care, Peace

Yes, yes, and hell yeah. WOOH! Let’s go!
That's another Great great video....Made my day..thanks WonderMomma ❤
Your edits are FLAWLESS
Saw Rush in 1980 when I was 15 at Ivor Wynne stadium in Hamilton Ontario. What a "rush" it was.
I've always loved the fact that Neil Pert in his drumming does a 2, 3, 4, and 5 beat twice after the first line Geddy sang.
Nice Frog Leap Studios metal cover for the making of outro 😎
Fabulous job, fabulous song.
THE defining features of RUSH is that their music is so clear. Every note , from every instrument is clear as a bell. No muddyness at all.
I love how great music crosses all cultures! It hasn't always been like this but it's beautiful to see!
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Three men making this music….amazing!

Bodhisattva is an insane song. I am a big of the Dan. Rock on my brother
I cant belive they didn't know Rush!! Im from Brazil and hear this band since i was a kid
Didn't know that Leo did a cover of Tom Sawyer. Neil Peart was a beast on the drums.
I didn't know Leo did one either I'm going to check it right after this video😊
You never miss mommaog❤!🔥🤘🎶
Totally Amazing
Saw them 5 times in Québec City. Top 3 guitar player , bass player and drummer.
Rush was my very first concert. I was 14. All other bands had a high bar to reach.
