I just subscribed to Bklyn_reau's youtube channel about a week ago but he has rapidly climbed the ladder to become one of my favorite reaction channels!!! Keep up the awesome work, young man! There aren't too many reaction channels who dive right in and react to 2112 so early in discovering the Rush rabbit-hole of awesomeness! I think this young man now needs to react to Xananadu - Exit Stage Left! Can't wait to see his mind get blown by watching Geddy and Alex both playing double-neck guitars live onstage!

"Attention all planets of the Solar Federation!" 7 words repeated 3 times = 21 "We have assumed control!" 4 words repeated 3 times = 12 And here's an Easter egg from the title: 2112 is 9:12 PM in 24 hour format, and 9-12 (September 12, coming up next Monday) was Neil's birthday. Okay now, it's time for Cygnus X-1, Book 1 (A Farewell To Kings) and Book 2 (Hemispheres), which add up to just over 30 minutes - including two sections that you may recognize from Best Intro Ever - that will completely blow your mind! Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥

“Listen to my music and hear what it can do, there’s something here that’s as strong as life, I know it will reach you.” You’re goddamn right.🔥👍

"Twenty one twelve" is how they say it. This is the piece that became their first hit. Energetic, passionate, gripping, and enduring. It's now a true classic.

Getty and Alex just performed this first chapter with the Foo Fighters for Taylor Hawkins Benefit Concert. They also did a couple of songs at South Park’s 25 Anniversary. A couple of pushing 70 something’s still kicking it!

Imagine being in your early 20's and already a virtuoso at your craft already. That is what we had in these three members of Rush for 45+ years. We were so lucky to be here at the same time as Neil, Alex and Geddy. Now the younger generations are seeing and hearing what they missed

Can you believe just three guys made and played this masterpiece? You did very, well for a first listen, without lyrics, of capturing the essence of the story!! I'm sure others have already said but this album was the make or break album for Rush. They were told to make more radio friendly music or they were done. This is side A of this album. The success of this album gave them artistic freedom to do whatever the eff they wanted going forward. They did that WITHOUT THE RADIO OR MAINSTREAM MEDIA. They seriously grew their fan base by performing over 200 shows a year. And they did that for probably 25 before slowing to 100 per year. They were simply magic together. Thank you for the solid listen and pretty much getting what this song is about. Which isn't particularly easy without the lyrics. So thanks!! You get it! There is no bad Rush song. Different eras will provide you with different masterpieces. My personal fave is Natural Science. 😁

Rush's 4th album. Their previous album, Caress of Steel, was a big disappointment to everyone, including themselves (The record company even screwed up and made the cover bronze instead of steel). This was the last album they were under contract for and figured they weren't going to get resigned so they decided to make their "last" album exactly what they wanted it to be without giving a damn. This is what happens when true musical geniuses say "Fuck it" and open the gate on shit. Needless to say, they were resigned with much more leeway in the future. It really gets good from here. Enjoy!!!

Hemispheres, Natural Science, Jacob's Ladder and The Camera Eye for more long Rush songs. Many shorter songs, can't go wrong with Rush!

"Xanadu" exit stage left 1981 Live video. "Natural science" Permanent waves album. "Cygnus X-1" Farewell to Kings album. All three are Rush masterpieces !!!

Yeah, big ups for diving right in! Couldn’t tell if you heard the vocalist singing/pleading back and forth between the guitar guy and the priests’s POV. “The Trees” and “Limelight” have always been two of my favorites.

This is my favorite album by them. Never missed a concert in my town since 1984. Until their retirement.

On topic: rush as a band are all about music that’s from the heart, and the relationships of the guys in the band. When it was time to record their fourth album, they were about to give up on the record industry, but worse the industry was about to give up on them. They wanted a hit, they wanted a sound like the sound that was making money. That shit just never was or is Rush. They decided to go out on their terms, no matter what the label thought of it. So they wrote a 20 minute allegory about the beauty and purity of music, and the cynical dopes who would scoff at it. Surprise surprise, people ATE IT UP. From then on until Neil Peart died, they had the freedom to make the music they wanted. This is their victory stand.

Their other two great story-telling songs are Red Barchetta off their Moving Pictures album and Caravan off their Clockwork Angels Live Tour, their second to last tour, and one that includes a string ensemble.

Dude you’re hilarious. I always have a place for people who are just like fuck it, this is me and we’re just gonna get into it lol. I think people are looking for pure reactions, not highly curated educational sessions. How it’s hit ya? Is what we wanna see. That’s def what I’m getting from you here. Rock on!

"I could listen to the instruments all day" That was my high school days.

Great reaction for a master piece of Rush, keep on RUSH, you will turn a fan. Thanks, great reaction

I officially love you! 🤣😂🤣 This album (actually, 8-track 😊) changed my life!!! I wish you would have read the lyrics while listening because the story is incredible... And, correlates with what the band was going through with the record company! *LOVED your reaction, nonetheless!!!* 👍🏻 #RushForever #RushRules #RushOn 💜💫✌🏼🎵

I got this on cassette at a garage sale in 1990 because I liked the cover art. I was 17 and had never heard of them. This album got me hooked right away. I then went out and slowly bought the rest of their albums. Been a lifelong fan ever since. Saw them 3 times in a 10 year time frame. Congrats on your journey.

R.I.P. Neil Peart “The Professor” 2112 was Neil’s Birthday 9/12 in military time. React to Neil Peart drum solo “Live In Frankfurt.

I choose to live my life in the chapter: Discovery. Loved that you spontaneously started making up a story at that point, then how you “got it” about the guitar. I cried the first time I heard this song at that discovery ! Well done.

Still my all-time favorite record.

All at once, that's the best way to do this one....Thx for the reaction!

20 minutes of greatness :D

Just kick back and don’t think to much enjoy the journey, catch the lyrics

Just to start you off check out the following Rush songs... Headlong flight, far cry, driven, test for echo, dreamline and roll the bones

This was a great reaction to watch, thanks man :)

It's unbelievable how 3 people created this masterpiece! Great reaction!

This would have been easier to follow if you had the lyrics up. The story is about a dystopian world where the Priests control everything including music, art etc. The fellow in the story finds a guitar behind a waterfall and learns and start playing it. He is excited and brings it to the priests. The priests want nothing to do with it as they say it doesn't fit the plan and they say it destroyed the Elder race which is not true. The fellow who found the guitar is sad and goes home. He then has a dream about the Elder Race and sees their world which is beautiful and full of artistic expression. When he wakes up he is despondent and ends up taking his own life. The Elder race ls not happy with what has happened to this world after they left and they come back to destroy the temples and the priests and they take back control of the planet again. (We have assumed control). This song was a finger to their record company. The record company didn't like the direction the band was taking and refuses to promote their previous record. The record company wanted more radio hits and shorter songs. Rush said NO, they were not going to be dictated to as to what kind of music they could create and wrote this instead and if record didn't succeed they would go back to their old jobs. 2112 was a huge hit with the fans and it gave Rush free rein to create whatever they wanted. The record company never bothered them again as to what they were creating. Hope that helps.

Shit when you picked up the dog it was over. Subscribed.

Rush is 3 guys, just 3 GUYS!

21 12 is a story in 4 parts all tied together. Its in the future 21 12 where someone finds a guitar from the past for the first time.

Man, when u said you wish you could be alive in 2112 and then did the quick math in ur head to double check , I kinda freaked out a little bc that year is not that far away. In the 70s, it seemed extremely far away for me - almost impossibly far away. You made it real for me, if you know what I mean. Sometimes I forget what year it ACTUALLY is! Great reaction bro

Double Plus for doing this.

Don't stop now. Rush will offer you so much more. You've only just begun👍👽

🌴👏👏🤣🤣take 1 bite n throw it back”🤣😆😀😆🤣😀

🔥🔥reaction my gEE👌🏽best 2112 reaction fo me🌋👏

You MUST watch this video ( it's a comic book style) while listening to the song. It explains sooo much. You will totally understand the story line.

Keep up with the Rush reactions Bro! You'll be happy you did👍. Best band you probably know little about. The Rush fans will back you bio time🤘👽

Great reaction.

Twenty one twelve is perfect

The video doesn't play from the very beginning, the first few seconds are missing. And yes, it is pronounced "Twenty-One-Twelve". \m/

Yaaaaas! 🥰 Twenty One Twelve! 🤗 Let's Go! 😁🐰

Welcome to the Rush rabbit hole. Check out working man live in Cleveland, it's great.

RUSH fans would not like it if you broke this song up. We are very loyal to the band and can be quite loyal to you also. (This edit is after the song ended. Admit it, that was the fastest twenty minutes of your life!)

Check out Hemispheres

You should really rewatch it with the cartoon animated video you totally get whats going on❤🇨🇦

the thing to remember it is till just 3 people doing all this

As this song went on I started to wonder, what do they know, that we don't. No, just kidding. Well, maybe a little bit.

I told you you were going to be in for some treats.

Yo...BREAU, loved the reaction. What'd you think? That's what Rush did, back in the 70's.

you are your in the church of rush

Do working man live in Cleveland or Xanadu live on exit stage left

You should have watched the one with the comic strip and you would understand the story better.

If you want to hear water, listen to Natural Science. Just saying😉👽

Try Natural Science !!!!

The only part I feel like skipping is the intro about viewership... 😁

Future unbelievable superficial robot Music in your head

If you watch 2112 in Rio you will discover that Rush did this song 1000x better. You also won’t have to sit though a long drawn out poetry reading. You don’t need to take my word for it. Rush only played the intro at most of their concerts. Even as recent as 3 days ago they only played the overture with David Grohl for a tribute to their drummer. In conclusion, don’t listen to Rush fans. They will always suggest you listen to the entire 22+ min song. Listen to Rush and what the actual band thinks which is to only play overture and the temples of syrinx. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7aSosp1ntvbdok.html

🌋🌴u gotta a new sub by me🌋👏👏🫡
