The lead singer is also the bass player and also plays keyboards. There are only 3 people in the band and they put out a sound like that live as well as in the studio.

"Do all Rush songs sound like this?" No. No they don't. Every amazing song by these guys is unique. You have no idea how deep the Rush rabbit hole goes!

Most drummers come out with a big kit like..."Look what I can buy..." Neil came out with a big kit..."Look what I can PLAY..." R.I.P. Neil. You are sorely missed.

R.I.P Neil. The professor.

Sadly, the drummer, Neil Peart, passed away in 2020. The band had announced they would no longer continue back in 2018, but the drummer’s death was the final straw to ensure they were finished. They were amazing! So much music from 3 guys! I saw them live multiple times and they were always amazing. RIP Neil.

Just came across this reaction...you've just been introduced to one of the greatest bands, in history. While you are deciphering the lyrics and reveling in the music...remember, that there are only 3 band-members creating all of this wonderful 👏. Take a trip down the Rush rabbit-hole and you'll come across 40 years of incredible music. Do yourself a favor and continue with this album, Moving Pictures. It was their most successful album (commercially)...but not always considered their best album. Check them out...see what you think.

So much talent with these three guys. R.I.P. Professor Peart

3 of the most talented musicians in the history of music. RUSH IS AWESOME!!

Rush Is one of the few bands that could successfully pull off simultaneous guitar, bass, and drum solos

So glad I saw these fellas 3 times!! Neil is just the best drummer ever!! What a concert!👏👏👏👏

Yes!! Thank you for doing this one first. Rush has a great catalogue, but Tom's my favorite. You're gonna have so much fun with this band :)

So glad you found RUSH! Check out "Spirit of The Radio", "Fly By Night" and "Closer to the Heart". One of the best and most prolific rock bands of the 80's. Enjoy the RUSH journey!

I laughed out loud when he said they had three chances to impress! 🤣🤣🤣

You do realize the Lead Singer, Bassist and Keyboardist are all the same person .....Geddy Lee

Drummer Neil Peart is your favorite drummer's favorite drummer.

POWER TRIO FROM CANADA! GEDDY LEE'S VOICE IS ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE EVER! SO MANY MONSTER SONGS!❤😂

Geddy Lee is the piano man, the bassist, and lead vocalist. You're going to like Rush.

That’s called firing on all cylinders! One of the best bands you will ever hear, period.

Oh HELL YEAH!! My favorite band in high school/college when the Moving Pictures album came out. I already been digging you AB, but I am most definitely jumping on your Rush Rollercoaster Ride. Spirit of Radio is another fantastic radio friendly song with great animated video, then go for a deep dive and watch these three gentlemen tear it up LIVE - YYZ in Rio, or the older masterpiece Xanadu live is incredible as well, and you get to see The Professor ringing them bells live! Rock on! 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

This is High Level, World Class music. Millions know this. They went to South America and minds were blown! It’s all on film. You are going to have fun with this band, Guaranteed!

It is criminal how long it too for the R&R Hall of Fame to induct these geniuses.

Yeah, they're special. Over 40 years together, continuously evolving. Check out more Rush please!

As others have said, Geddy Lee sings and plays bass and keyboards and all three of them multitask like crazy. If you want to hear him singing really high with power but then also sometimes really sweet and tender, you've got to check out their breakout album from 1976, Rush 2112. Record company didn't think they were making stuff that enough people liked although they had quite the following, and this was their do-or-die effort or they were done. So they flipped the bird to the record company and took the whole first sight of that album and did this incredible epic composition and story and it showcases everything they could do at the time. I have definitely seen many people react to it even though it's long. It comes in six or seven Musical and thematic chapters of sorts some of which kind of refer back to the earlier stuff like a symphony almost, and those usually make good places to break, but you should always rewind because the transitions are just mind-blowing. But you will hear everything you need to know about why Rush was so fantastic if you check that out. And all the shorter radio playable songs on side B are fantastic as well. Something for nothing is the one that the end album with on side B and it's a total banger but with a really positive message.

This is what happens when you put the greatest drummer of all time (who also wrote almost all their songs), a top-5 all-time rock bassist who also sings and plays the keyboards with his feet in concert, and a chronically underrated but extremely well-respected guitarist together. If you really want your mind blown, watch the video for YYZ live in Rio. It's three masters of their craft in front of an amazingly enthusiastic audience, creating music that would make you think there's eight or nine guys in the band.

You NEED to go down the RUSH rabbit hole 🔥🔥

I've followed Rush since the late 70's and back then you really had to have an ear for what they put out. 3 man band so gifted, so versatile. The greatest bands are the one's that can endure generations. One of the most talented drummer's in rock n roll, Neil Peart. Passed away in 2022 as always with the greats, dearly missed. He was the bands lead song writer. R.I.P Neil. Thank you for your gift of music to the world.

Neil Pert was a drumming OG to the 10th degree. His solos are things of legend.

"Oh, 'dey in - if y'all didn't know, by the way. 'Dey in." 😹

You caught that Gaddy Lee was on keys as well as lead vocal, I thout you'd then catch he's also on the bass guitar. Only 3 members. We lost the drummer Neil Peart a few years back to brain cancer. His drum solo Live in Frankfurt is absolutely phenominal...

Geddy Lee - the lead singer - is also Rush's monster bassist and the keyboardist; Alex Lifeson is the guitarist; and the drummer is Neil Peart (RIP), very likely your favorite drummer's favorite drummer. Neil also writes most of their lyrics.

WOO HOO!You finally did my fav band.3members unfortunately the drummer "the professor "Neil Peart passed a few years ago.He wrote alot of the music.The singer Getty Lee plays the Bass guitar and keyboard.They are masters of their instruments and don't get me started on the amazing preformances.The drummer you will see why he is considered one of if not the best drummer of all time.

The Professors most difficult song to play according to him. He always claimed that he got better at playing it over time - lots of practice! He also said its the one song he never got tired of playing because of the challenge & he would be super thrilled when he nailed it.

I had the honor of seeing them live as a kid! Best show I ever been to, hands down.

Long live RUSH..listen to 40 plus year's of rush..the sauce never runs out...

Based on just this reaction, you are going to really enjoy getting into these guys.

Arguably the best drummer to ever live!! RIP Professor!!!

I attended six Rush concerts back in the day. RIP Neil Peart!!! ✌🏻❤👍🏻

The drummer, Neil Peart, one of the best ever has passed away sadly. RIP Neil! And all their songs sound different but with the same great musicianship through all of them. Getty Lee, not only the singer but also an incredible bassist and keyboardist. Welcome to the RUSH rabbit hole.

This song came out in 1981....Rush has been together since 1968. btw the piano man is the bass guitarist and also the lead singer...Geddy Lee. The Dummer is widely known as one of the top 3 drummers of all time (Neil Peart).

Now you're talking 🇨🇦 in the house and Geddy Lee and Neil BRINGS IT..Canada brings it..they did it because the record label forgot they existed, by the time they took notice 🤯

That's a 3 man band. Geddy Lee; lead singer, bassist and keyboard player all wrapped up into one package! Enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole!

Took whole family to R40! So glad my kids (now 18 and 23) still consider Rush their favorite band! So glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's!

Stereo and Quadraphonic sound has been around since the 60s but not everyone could master it like some others. BTW, the lead singer is also the keyboardist and bass player. The drummer (considered the GOAT in rock) is the lyricist. That stayed together and toured up until a few short years ago but no longer perform or record since the passing of Neil (drummer) in 2020.

They were together right up until the drummer passed. Over 40 years check the three of them out doing this song at their induction to the rock and roll hall of fame.

Great band, retired, with one of the guys passed away (Jan 2020). Top-of-the-world musicians, all of them, and great song/lyric writers as well! Check out a song called "Limelight" next! It's from the same time period/album as Tom Sawyer. You will love it!

Their music is unique and inspired many other bands along the way. Every album is different because they just kept evolving and had a need to keep challenging themselves. What an amazing trio.

I saw them live and they sounded like they were in the studio. Excellent! Have fun in this rabbit hole but bring an umbrella for all the orange juice!

Welcome down the RUSH rabbit hole!! Enjoy the ride!

You just saw one of the best drummers e er! Unfortunately he has passed on! But they were great for three guys!❤️

RusH was composed of 3 compulsive perfectionist, and genuine good people that do not have any ego trips that have lead to the demise of many successful bands. Truly GREAT musicians that are also truly great friends.... Resulting in some of the cleanest, tightest most amazing music ever made.

Rush is probably the greatest band of all time (as well as the most underrated). Geddy Lee is the lead singer and plays bass and keyboard (sometimes doing all three at the same time in concert!) Then you have Alex Lifeson on guitar, an amazing musician in his own right who is often overshadowed by the popularity of his other two bandmates, and as a result his skill on the guitar is very often overlooked and underrated in the rock community. Last but definitely not least is Neil Peart (pronounced like "ear") on drums and percussion. He was known as "The Professor" or "your favorite drummer's favorite drummer". We lost Neil back in January of 2020 after a quiet battle with brain cancer. RIP. Rush's work spans 4 decades from 1974 with the release of their first album to their final concert on August 1, 2015 in Los Angeles. Their sound has evolved over the years which makes them one of the most versatile and timeless bands ever. If you want to continue your Rush discovery experience, I highly suggest the following: Working Man (from their debut album. Listen to the studio version first, then the live version) Spirit of Radio Xanadu (from the Exit Stage Left concert) YYZ Live in Rio Neil Peart's drum solo live in Frankfurt Fly By Night La Villa Strangiato Subdivisions There are so many others, but this is a good starting point. Enjoy!

What you're hearing is artistry, innovation, craftsmanship, commitment and sweat. Geddy Lee (vocals) is also bass and keyboard, often playing the bass with foot pedals; he juggles these live in concert, too. Alex Lifeson (guitar) is among the best to ever do it, and also plays multi-neck guitars. Neil Peart (drums) (RIP 2020) is the favorite drummer of some of the best rock drummers in the world. He also wrote most of the band's lyrics.

Sadly, the drummer Neil Peart died a few years ago of brain cancer. Rush is an amazing band and I hope you check out more of their work. Great video.

The lead singer is Geddy Lee. He plays bass, keys, and synth pedals in addition to lead vocals. Drummer is Neil Peart, aka The Professor. In my humble opinion, the best drummer of all time. He passed in 2020. The guitar player is Alex Lifeson. Many times overshadowed by Geddy and Neil, he is a powerhouse guitar player. I recommend continuing down the Rush rabbit hole. 2112 The Trees The Garden Spirit.of Radio Time Stand Still Limelight Closer.to the Heart Red Barchetta Xanadu (live version) Fly by night Cygnus X-1 YYZ So many more. Just keep listening to their greatness

All that sound from 3 members. One of the top 5 drummers ever.

Great reaction! They are awesome and I got to grow up on this wonderful music.

Rush had one of the best guitarist and drummers of all time, they were great

"c'mon drummer!".... Neil Peart... the *greatest* drummer to ever bang the skins..."Behold, son."

You just witnessed one of the best drummers who ever lived! RIP Neil Peart!! Rush is legendary!

That's the same bloke on: vocals, bass, keyboards and bass pedals. They formed in 1968 and finally broke up almost half a century later, with arguably the greatest recorded and live legacy in rock music history. Explore their back-catalogue, it's profound. Oh, and you did pretty well guessing the year, it was '81.

Geddy Lee vocals, bass and keyboards Alex Liefson guitar Neil Peart (RIP) drums and lyrics Neil joined the band in 1974 after the original drummer left, and they stayed together for 40+ years until Neil recently passed

The lead singer is the keyboardist and bassist. They were a 3 piece band. Neil Peart on drums and songwriter, often referred to as "the professor" and "your favorite drummer's favorite drummer", Alex Lifeson on lead guitar, and Geddy Lee on vocals, keys, and bass. Neil passed away in 2020 and fittingly the band died with him. Check out "Spirit of Radio" next and keep exposing yourself to good music, the journey has been fun to watch.

Only 3 amazing men..that catapults millions of souls it saved my life..since I was 10 now 56...mind blowing...

No auto tune, no special effects. Just raw, pure talent. Rush- every song's an experience and a journey unique unto its own. And with such an expansive library of music, you're sure to enjoy the ride. Perhaps "The Spirit of Radio" would be a good one to react to next... it's a face melt.

You said "How y'all making these sounds bro?" THERES ONLY THREE PEOPLE IN THIS BAND!!!! They kill dude... Total masters of the trade.

There's a reason I saw Rush 18 times. I recommend the song Natural Science from the Snakes and Arrows concert.

Awesome reaction. More Rush please.

Still get chills after 40 years of hearing this!

Lead singer is on bass and keys, and he does it live.

If you really want to see what these three legends are capable of, you should watch Xanadu, the 1981 live version. Their ability to make all this sound as just a three piece seems crazy.

Red Barchetta, or maybe Xanadu, or perhaps Freewill, Rush have so many epic songs

Welcome to the world of Rush. Unique musical experiences await you my friend! Listen on!

Neil Peart on the sticks - LEGENDARY!

This is Rush. One of the best drummers, ever. They were amazing. The concerts were amazing. The ultimate trio. And yes, the lead singer played piano, guitar, etc. They were just 3 men. Neil Peart wrote most of their songs.

We lost 2 of the proverbial rock legends the year Peart passed, later in the year October Eddie Van Halen passed from cancer as well.

Rush's phenomenal prog rock has a very diverse sound to each song, but every one is FIRE! It's what's known as "thinking man's rock". Thanks for your reaction.

Lol Mamma here welcome to the world of Rush. Our three Canadians masters. 40 + yrs of awesomeness. Yep the songs all have that special spark! Great reaction you got it right away. Cheers

Hey man im a big Rush fan from Canada i just discovered you. These guys are my heroes. They cut albums from 1970s to their last album Clockwork Angels in 2015 i think? Their sound developed and became distinct through the eras. Geddy Lee (vocals, bass, keyboard) Alex Lifeson (guitar) and the late Neil Peart on drums The Professor, a drumming legend and the man who wrote the lyrics of pretty much all the tracks. We lost Neil after a long battle with brain cancer, the entire Rock world was devastated & we still celebrate him. Geddy & Alex still do stuff together (they played a song on the South Park 25th anniversary show with Matt Trey & Primus, crazy) & they hint they may tour again. That drummer will have enormous shoes to fill. Thanks for the video man ✌️ i wanted to say a little piece about Rush.

The singer Geddy Lee does all of the keyboards, bass, and singing

Each of them is considered one of the greatest musicians in the world for his own instrument. Very much RIP Neil Peart. I also grew up with Rush in high school, and Limelight is probably my favorite. Such fantastic writing.

Keep listening to Rush!, they played for decades and are one of the best ROCK bands to ever play!

The singer is indeed the piano dude and also just about the most universally respected bass player of all time.

The lead singer also plays the bass, keyboards and Moog foot pedals. Neil Peart is the drummer. He was their second drummer (John Rutsey was the drummer on their first album) and is a legend. He passed away in 2020. Let's not forget Alex Lifeson on guitar. The 3 of them were together for around 40 years and were the very definition of prog rock.

Spirit of Radio, YYZ, 2112, Limelight

The singer is the piano and the bass player , his main instrument is Bass

Yep, that song dates back over 40 years ago. They actually date back to the late 1960's. Back when rock was rock, blues was blues, disco was pretty much fading when this released and progressive rock was coming of ages. Although I still like to think of it as sophisticated rock and roll. For them anyway, it wasn't as 'prog' as many others because there was no bubble gum pop with it, just flat out theme oriented smash mouth rock with amazing precision.

What most people don't realize is that the base player who also sings is also playing all of the keyboards! Also when the singer is playing the keyboards the guitar player is playing the base notes on pedals at his feet while playing the guitar! And the drummer is amazing! The 3 man band

Glad you can recognize the best rated number one drummer in the world. Listen to his video solo, boom 💥 it will blow your mind.Yes, the lead singer plays bass and the keyboards. Enjoy the ride son😊

Loved your fire effect on the screen at the part you thought was really hot! I absolutely loved your reaction to this one!

Tom Sawyer is one of those songs that gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Amazing talent!

Oh, yeah. They in all right. You just witnessed arguably the greatest drummer who ever existed, along with two virtuoso musicians. Unfortunately, they don't perform as Rush any longer as the drummer passed away 3 years ago, but you have 40 years of music to choose from 🤯 Don't worry, Rush fans are happy to help. I say, try out 'The Spirit of Radio' next. Welcome to the Rush rabbit hole 😂

Just found this channel, and as an old rocker, now 64, I got to see these guys in Germany back in the early 80's while stationed there...then spent over 30 years on FM radio as a DJ, spinning "classic rock" music, I highly suggest running down the rabbit hole that is RUSH, I suggest something from their "RIO" tour, there are many but your mind will be blown by Pearts kit...and all the rest...I've subscribed lets get rockin.

Congratulations! You have now discovered probably one of the finest bands in the last 50 years.

No, all of their music is not this (this is probably their biggest hit IMHO), but they have a pretty darn good catalogue. They were way ahead of their time, and I still have this vinyl. Peace, Love!!

'How did you get that sound' ... the word is TALENT - - The shot of the empty drums at the end of this video just heart my heart

Rush was founded in 1968.by Alex Lifeson (guitar) and John Rutsey (drums). Geddy Lee (vocals, bass, keyboards) joined shortly afterward when their original bassist was unable to make a gig and Lifeson asked him to fill in. Their first album was released in 1973. Rutsey left shortly after for medical reasons, and was replaced by Neil Peart, who remained their drummer and mail lyricist for the rest of their career. They were active until 2015 except for a break from 1997 to 2001 after the deaths of Peart's wife and daughter. They officially disbanded in2018 with Peart's retirement. Sadly, Peart died in early 2020.

Keep in mind boss RUSH is only 3 dudes

My goodness, I can’t imagine anyone not having heard of the gods that are RUSH 🙆‍♀️😳

Geddy Lee, the vocalist/bass player/keyboard player is a super nice guy. Oh, he does all three live as well, sometimes playing the bass with bass pedals when he's on keyboards. My brother was a great guitarist and Geddy is a huge baseball fan. Several times they attended Kansas City Royals games together, especially when Toronto was playing. Incredible talent and unfortunately we lost the drummer to cancer in 2020 at age 67.

I like to sit back at the beginning when you say "All I need is one hit" and knowing that what you are about to hear will be instantly in the hall of fame haha
