I'd call Rush progressive rock

I just love seeing him sing along. From the first reaction, hearing it the first time, the mouthing along….you know he’s listened to it on repeat multiple times since the first.

"he plays those drums like the drums owe him money" haha i love it

Just 3 musicians with such HUGE sounds!!! Have loved them for decades🤓

Storm picked up on how great Neil Peart was, so definitely 👍🏻. It’s very cool she is reacting with you. She is so lovely.

As a Canadian, I’m proud of them, different sound

Tom Sawyer is one of the most iconic songs from our generation. I am 59yo. I can tell you when Moving Pictures came out, we had never heard anything like it. A lot of art is an acquired taste if one has never been exposed to it. - Peace from Texas.

Technically you could call Rush progressive rock, but really, ‘Rush’ are their own genre, so unique.

As Gene Simmons said when asked what kind of music is Rush..."It's Rush".....stand alone greatness....and drummer Neil Peart, aka the Professor - RIP

"Working Man", from their debut album will blow you away!☮☮

Neil the drummer also writes the lyrics for all the songs, from the time he joined the band.

When 2112 came out it was the album that started it all for me… been an unbelievable five decades of brilliance

Tom Sawyer is the opening tracks of one of the best rock records ever made as well as one my favourite records of all time Moving Pictures. You have to do the whole album in one sitting.

Anyone else on board for Storm to become part of this ride permanently? ❤❤❤❤❤

You guys have a good chemistry together, you should do more......and more Rush too :)

Neil Peart in an interview in the 2010’s said of all the songs we made this song was the hardest to play.

You've got to hear the song "Freewill"! Alex Lifeson says it was the most difficult solo he's ever done. Also, I suggest you and Storm try the song "Red Barchetta"-- incredible mix of song, story, and energy. Keep the Rush reactions coming!!

These are fun you guys!!! Keep 'em coming!

Just go straight into the rabbit hole with the Necromancer !!

a relationship where you can be goofy together is the best, me and my gf are the same xD yall are so well together

It's called Progressive. Also note that there is no Auto-tune, and no Click track (that is what we call talent).

As most Rush fans will tell you, with a 40-year discography and a desire to never stay still, Rush is a genre onto itself.

I don't care how many times I've heard this song since the 80's, It. Still. Hits! I will never change the channel or turn it off, banger 🤘

Geddy Lee is a beast. Dude plays bass, guitar, synth, PEDAL bass synth, and hand percussion all while singing. Lotta sound coming from three dudes but three dudes do rather well sometimes... James Gang, Primus, Mountain, The Police, ZZ Top, Cream, Hendrix (Experience), Genesis, Grand Funk Railroad, Nirvana just to name a few

For Tom Sawyer, who calls the streets his home. Sustained by the friction and fluidity of street life. Feeding off the energy he receives from random passersby and their caloric thoughts toward him. He knows it could all change. And always does.

Rush is its own category

Excited to see what Storm thought of this incredible sound!

73 yr old American lady and die hard Rush fan. They are gave us 40 yrs of amazing music no one has been able to replicate artistically. Just totally unique and on a high level of musical mastery. Obviously it's not for everybody. Thank you Storm for giving them a listen. Appreciate your honest reaction. Compared to what you kids listen to today...it probably is a bit odd sounding. Solution....listen to more! Your generation has been robbed. Expand your musical exposure. No matter the genre or era. You will be the better for it.

Alright, Storm is adorable. You two look like you're having fun with this! Since we are back on the subject of Mr. Peart, Mollyboy, you should really check out his live solo from Frankfurt. It's 🤯

Welcome to the Rush community. I saw them on ten different tours over 35 years. In short, they’ve made my life better.

I think she would like Spirit of the radio and Closer to the heart

The Drummer is Neil "The Professor" Piert. "I don't know who your favorite drummer is, but Niel Piert is your favorite drummer's favorite drummer." - Dave Grohl, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Probot.

Give “Caravan” a listen. It’s the last studio album that they released. Ged’s voice got a little bit deeper over the years. I really love this album; it’s a lot harder than I expected (I know, I know-that’s what she said 😂)

There will never be another RUSH

A seven from Storm!! Wow, great score!! Take care, and Happy Birthday a little early, but yeah have an awesome day MollyBoy TV!!! 🙂🤘🏼🎉🍰

When you've listened to Rush starting from their first album, you are amazed at the evolution of their sound throughout each preceding album, and that is why Tom Sawyer was received as one of their best songs. She might get fidgety listening to 2112 because of the length, but The Spirit Of Radio is one song where you can hear their progression from 2112 to Tom Sawyer.

Xanadu should be your next Rush song

The more you listen to a Rush song the more you like it. You will always hear something you didn't notice before.

To me... Tool is a baby of Rush. Both bands brilliant. Every player in RUSH are masters.

I think it was a fantastic idea to revisit some songs with your girlfriend. You both seem lovely. Keep up the good work!

Prog rock I think....coming out of the classic rock era. This was the band when I was in high school that everyone loved.. super, super talented musicians and all this sound with just 3 people!!!

Hey man, I've been a Rush fan for as long as I remember. Tom Sawyer and YYZ were off of the "Moving Pictures" album. If you ever get a chance you should listen to the song "Witch Hunt". It's off of the same album. I always loved that song. It was not as popular as their other ones. But I think you'll love it. But I was blessed enough in life to see them in concert 2 separate times. The last concert I saw with them was in Houston, Texas in 2010. They played every hit song from their first album "2112" to their last album "Snakes and Arrows". But they also played every song off of the Moving Pictures Album. The show was 3 hours long and it was only Rush. I literally have tears in my eyes while typing this. R.I.P. Neil Peart. They were, and still are, amazing! I know it may be hard to believe, but life was just better back in the day. It was just a better world. I guess I'm turning into an old man myself now. I'd give anything to go back and do it all over again. But I'm glad to see younger people still keeping their music alive. Thank you young man. I know the world is a different place now, but you would have loved the way it was back then. I know that today we are all digitally connected. But back then, we were all physically connected. We couldn't wait to get up and go out into the world every day. I apologize for the reading assignment, but thanks for letting an old man have an emotional moment. Peace, love, and prosperity, to you, your friends, and your loved ones.

Rush was not loved by the general public at first. Saying that, true Rush fans are crazy devoted to them. In 1975 (age 15) I fell in love with the sound of Rush and have been hard core fan of the progressive Rock band.

LOL.... Canadians all look the same to me! Really thought, Geddy sings, plays bass AND keyboards live as well, not just for the recording! Absolutely TOP NOTCH!!

And once again I'm suggesting the song "A Farewell To Kings" which lyrically is just as relevant today.

Rush is amazing…three of the most talented guys ever….& Neal (aka the Professor) is just killing it here! They are a permanent staple on my weekend drive playlist 😎🔥🔥🔥🤘 --keep doing their work, give “Spirit of Radio” a listen, the tribute video.

I know how you feel, introducing Rush to someone and hoping they'll love it too. One time a co-worker and I were talking bands and I asked who his fav band was and he gave me a look...I knew that look, I had felt it on my own face when I was trying to decide if this person would get it when I said Rush. So when he said Rush was his favorite band I felt cool because he'd seen something in me that he could be honest with.

I am Canadian. Listen to the local classic rock radio station in an 8hr day you will hear Rush at least twice, maybe more.

If you like the song check out the rush in rio live version.

Y'all are so cute together... She's a beauty. Love that you like my favorite old music. Keep putting out the quality content. ❣️🌵🦉🎧🌴🏜️

Top 10 rock song of all time. And too me. This song is all about the drums..... It's only 3 guys. Incredible.

So sweet… how many of us sat in our bedrooms with our girlfriends/boyfriends to share this song with someone in the 80s…. I’m sitting here at 55 with my hand raised.

I would have killed for a plastic drum kit when I was a kid 😂

you have to try Xanadu, live exit stage left tour, the incredible amount of "sound" coming from these 3 will blow your mind

I grew up listening to these guys. I saw this tour back in the day. RUSH moving pictures tour 1980 or 1981.

My big bro can play the drums perfectly to this song. Its crazy. He can play to just about anything.

Geddy is a great speaker - he has been doing some book tours promoting his 2 books - and we had a book signing and interview session for a radio show. He is very witty and it is easy to listen to him speak for hours - very entertaining communicator. It was a pleasure to meet him and tell him personally how much Rush's music has mattered to me over the last 40 years.

Definitely get a vintage table and a modest needle cartridge to start .. its a rabbit hole . Audio technica AT95 cartridge is a cheap banger cartridge ..

Quite simply three geniuses at the peak of their creativity and masters of their art. You need to listen to 2112 ....side 1.....I'll blow you away.

I'm already LMFAO at your reactions. Now, I love RUSH, I also never bought a RUSH album, because I hear it on the radio every day. But I will say, they are so unique and so good, I will always love them. They are maybe some of the best musicians on record, no shit, I'm not kidding.

6:24..A gal with a great poker face is good to have, And Award-Winning composer Quincy Jones ( Movies, TV and many hit records) called Rush " Progressive art-rock meets Sci-FI"

Omg I love the way you say Favorite !

I’d class it as “classic rock” one of my first albums I bought as a teen

Not often I catch a video early on, rush are fun, I don't know tom sawyer either, prog band, great musicians though

Rush -Working Man Live from Cleveland. It's a must for any Rush fan

Happy Birthday! My cousin shared a birthday with you when he was alive! Mine is on the 24th of this month! Best of luck!

LOVED IT...fun to watch yours and hers reactions....I love RUSH too....

Geddy Lee does an interview with Dan Rather. Geddy has one heck of a story. The Band and life in general

Rush was even way different for us when they appeared on the scene and it took a bit to get used to their sound. But I grew to love them and still do.

OK Rushs Lofton was Eddie Van Halen mentor. Hamonics and hammrond

Y'all are just PRECIOUS 💞

Hard to believe that it was about 42 years ago that I was at the concert tour for this album as a high schooler.

Holy hell you two are adorable. Watching you listen to the music I grew up on brings it back for me. It's like I'm hearing it again for the first time. subscribed!

Neil Peart was one of the best Drummers in the world, at one live show he used a massive drum set the floated in the air, turned in circles upright, turned upside down, and turned in circles, the whole time while he was playing.

Only Americans (and Canadians) read Tom Sawyer. I only know about it because of Rush and, to be honest, Star Trek TNG has a time-traveling episode with Mark Twain.

Grand Funk Railroad “Inside Looking Out” the live version

3 of the finest musicians ever

The godfathers of progressive rock/metal. Only Yes may have been a couple years earlier considered prog first but their music is much different. Rush has a cutting edge bang to it. They are known for the ability to smoothly change in and out of time signatures. Especially the late 70s stuff. So good. So cool even the most novice listener knows drumming excellence when they hear it.

Rush is progressive. I really miss this band!😢

Fun fact: 80% of women in the US hate Rush. Most say it's because of the vocals. I personally love Rush

Show her something live bro. Something maybe you haven't seen yet. Xanadu 1981 Exit Stage Left tour, with lyrics will be helpful. IDK if CC can get it right. Or Working Man in Cleveland, 1990 something. Maybe 97. Rocking, explosive closing song of the night. Gonna blow your mind for sure!

Fun yet again, thank you both

Hey guys, i was a little younger than you when i first heard RUSH on a AM radio from Boston! great reaction video!!

The live versions of “Leave that thing alone” and “Xanadu” also “Subdivision” official video “The Big Money” official video “Bravado” “Limelight” etc etc the band is simply epic every time good listening 👏

If you really want to see the professor, Neil Peart play drums. Check out his drum solo from Frankfurt. You won't believe the drum set he has. I would love to see the both of you react to that one.

YYZ LIve in Reo ! Will not disappoint. Cheers from Canada

Yay!!! Thanks for bringing your girl again 🤘🏻🖤

"He plays the drums like the drums owe him rent money." Yeah, you two have won me over because of your honesty. Liked and subscribed!

Alex plays guitar and footpedal synth (moog taurus pedals) Geddy plays bass, keys (Oberheim multi voice synthesizer) and footpedal synth (moog Taurus pedals) Neil plays drums and writes the lyrics That's what makes their sound so full with just 3 guys and could be reproduced LIVE

Im from geddy Lee's ( singer) hometown of Toronto and currently live in Neil's (drummer) hometown of st catharines 🇨🇦

...and, you're not gonna aggravate us by pausing, Storm!! PAUSE, AWAY!!!

There was a critic back in the day who described Geddy's voice as, "Mickey Mouse on helium". Not accurate, but funny.🤣

I've been a huge fan since '79, and I've found over many, many years that I need to hear their works multiple times before understanding where they're going with any particular track. The thing about Geddy's voice - just think of its high pitch as another instrument and notice that they incorporate it fully with lower tones throughout each song... It grows on you over time.

Most people like The Spirit of Radio because it’s much more radio friendly sounding, which also ties into the theme of the song.

Your a great couple together , and Rush is good .... Happy Birthday !!!! 🥳🥳🥳

You should watch the live video of Xanadu. It shows the full range of all three of these guys. And Neil's drum solo in Frankfurt shows his amazing rotating drum kit.

Sebastian Bach went to all the RUSH concerts in Toronto as a kid and loved them so much he knew he wanted to be in a rock band ❤🇨🇦 progressive rock progressive metal

PROG ROCK!! :) LOVE me some RUSH!!! STORM'S GONNA LOVE IT!! (I hope).....Their LYRICS (mostly written by The Professor - Neil Peart) are PRICELESS, to me!! Some of my FAVS: Limelight, The Trees, Working Man, Subdivisions and Closer To The Heart (for lyrics)....ENJOY THE RIDE!!! :)

The drummer, Neil Peart was known as "The Professor", and is arguably among the very finest drummers ever.

never been a fan of Rush...but that is what i love about reaction videos..sometimes they reintroduce you to stuff you ignored when younger...didnt mind it this time around...didnnt blow me away but might listen to some more.
