Good point 😊

That's pretty beautiful...I'm not crying, you are.

Is that true? They loaned them their instruments? Just wow!

Damn Thats cool

Les had his made by Rickenbacker. They contacted him and offered. Les mentioned it at the Vancouver show Q and A.

Awesome!

With as much practice as these guys probably did for this moment it’s pretty safe to say they killed it.

I read that Les was actually nervous for Geddy to see his performance. But since so much of Primus' material is 130+ BPM, probably nice for them to get to slow down.

And they played this in front of Alex and Geddy of Rush who were there to witness it.

Very impressive performance, guitar tones are bang on, however Geddy's voice his missing and the percussion is a bit off (props though for including the glockenspiel) but overall huge kudos!

Larry is genuinely underrated. They’re all stupid talented musicians

This is the highest form of respect for the Trio. This is a masterpiece..well like the original. Incredible.

Any band that can do a cover of Xanadu or anything Rush, deserves kudos. Well done, Primus!

Rush did a cover of Xanadu?

@@TheWangspangler I cant tell if you're joking or not

Well, think about it, it really doesn't need much, Rush did it in the 70s ELO did it in the 80s

YYNOT has this beat. It takes a womans voice to get into the Geddy zone. And musically, they crush it. But, I'm glad that bands are helping us deal with our collective loss. I'll probably never go to another concert, unless a good rush cover band comes around.

I was thinking the same thing. I've seen Primus live a few times. Wish I could of seen this one with my own two eyes. I would love to hear Primus cover 2112 now.. I'd think it would be amazing. I can hear Les screaming The Temple of Syrinx in my head already. \m/

@@RushfanUK hey, hey, hey! Like my fellow Rushians would shout during our anthem, 2112. If they're playing Rush, I love 'em! Lotus Land does them justice. Primus does too. I've just taken a shine to this woman's voice that can deliver that high pitched shrill we know so well. She's cute too! We all have impeccable taste, I know that! So, Hold the Red Star Proudly High in Hand! R I P Mr. Peart 💕

@@jasonlacroix6083 These guys aren't some tribute band, they are Primus, and they do a beautiful job paying tribute to their friends. Let's see YYNOT do 75 minutes of their original stuff, and then play an entire Rush album, and do another 45 minutes of mind blowing originals.

How many drummers does it take to change a lightbulb? 2 .....one to change the bulb, the other to tell him how much better Niel Pert would have done it.

I saw two RUSH concerts back in March of 1994 at the Rosemont Horizon in North Suburban Rosemont Illinois. Primus opened for them in both shows. The bad part was, for the first show, Primus was awful. They played for about twenty minutes, and were just terrible. Once they started to play Master of Puppets by Metalica, they were literally being booed off the stage. It was just a bad night for Less Claypool and company. The nice part of this story was, the next night Primus came onto the stage, and put on one hell of a performance, and were given a standing ovation. And they went on, to do pretty good for themselves. But, that one terrible performance back in March 1994, will live in my memory, as one awful Primus performance...

@@davidgordon702 Wow! I'm glad they were able to recover the next night!

I use to go to Tim’s house in AZ for the kiddies Bday parties. Our sons are the same age. Great man, great drummer! You can still find some old major lingo KZfaqs with him in the band. After he left down hill for those guys. Impossible to replace herb.

Tim is a WITCH on the drums, just a ripper LEGEND.

🤘😎LONG LIVE ROCK Baby‼️

🍻 james!

Yeah I hate getting old. I try to keep fit. It slows it - it really does. Don't drink, don't smoke, pretty boring but I can't think of a worse thing than going into age care where they take all your money, feed you stodge on $4 a day and deprive you of utterly everything while they have free access to your bank balance.

@@chucku00 HELL YES! I’m about to buy a couple bottles. 1 as a gift and 1 for daddy😹😹😹

Did they walk the caves of ice

@@MAP987 No! but they drank the milk of paradise!!!!

Same here! A great tour!

That is the most ridiculous statement I think I have ever read.

Not even close, dude.

Having played it with my tribute I can tell you other Rush tunes are much harder to pull off! But they did great.

@@NaturalScienceRushTribute Do you kill your guitar player's rig during "The Trees"? If not, you aren't really accurate, lol.

I can understand your friend saying he was ready to fall asleep because this is boring, and long winded.

Your friend might be happier at a Maroon 5 concert:) Not everyone ‘gets’ Rush. Most of them are women like my wife, who could not understand an 11 minute long song :)

Most Primus fans are expecting everything to be at 130+ BPM.

@@freesoul3371 Not as boring and long winded as you I'll bet.

@@freesoul3371 GO BACK TO YOUR BUSH/CREED/LIMP BIZKIT LIFE!

How about 6 of the greatest musicians of all time?

​@@jsullivan2112word

With all due respect this is not the closest any band has gotten to Rush. My little tribute band sounds more like Rush than Primus does. There are a lot of great Rush tributes out there who sound as close or closer. But it’s Primus so people will fawn… Still a nice tribute.

Couldn't agree with you more@@NaturalScienceRushTribute

*AMEN!* 🤘

Tim the Herb Alexander was definitely my fav drummer for Primus.

I think they ll do it someday. Of course they will not use Rush in respect to Neil, the will call themselves some weird name invented by Alex (of course !!!)

@@calito44 Absolutely!!!

As I watched a couple rush covers all the drummers were great but Tim Alexander is the closest to neil

I was thinking Terry Bozzio... But Terry is 70. Can he still kick the shit out of the drums?

Or Danny Carey. Both are drum gods and inspired by Neil to their very core

I always consider it my #1 favorite Rush album and I’m a huge fan!!

Haha what? Did Perry come out of nowhere and make that decision or was Jane's Addiction also playing? Or are you confusing him with Layne Staley?

Don't forget the bass

Do it! :)

Those were *actually* Alex and Geddy's instruments borrowed to Les and Ler too 😋

It’s ok but NOT the best Rush cover band! Just my opinion- not hating on anything

You haven’t seen all of them I assume?

@@joedecker3900 of course not! But I have seen two MUCH betterRush tribute bands. And other bands who were not Rush tribute bands that did a better job ( IMO ) on Rush songs. YYNOT comes to mind. The music on this particular song was okay- it was slow, and drums were muddy, guitar solos were sloppy and uninspired. Vocals were terrible. It sounded like a bad karaoke night. However, I will admit that I wasn’t there and the recording wasn’t professional so that could take away from the actual sound of the video. Plus, I’m sure that if one was there just the pure enjoyment from live music inspires great feelings. That said, all I have to go on is this recording- 5/10

Rush can only do Rush justice

@@joedecker3900 amen brother!

Not quite, the drumming is not as good but asking that drummer to match a Drum God is a bit much.

Def NOT just as good, but a very good rendition. RESPECT~🎸🎵🥁

@@lazyidiotofthemonth well that is debatable... Tim hit harder and could groove in a kind of heavy-handed caveman way. Neil Peart was closer to a math rock technician but there is nothing in the Rush archives even close to swing/funk/groove. Both were amazing in their own ways and not better or worse because of it and each influenced me and fellow drummers equally.

Karaoke band? You try it.
