Cult of personality by Living color bruh they some black folks straight jamming out

Am the 5th person to comment...... I just love coach reaction.

Back for more by five finger death punch, please react to this coach...you will love it 💪🤜🤛

Rage Against the Machine - Bombtrack Or RATM - I’m Housin. It’s super hip hop inspired

React to Shattered Glass By. Fit for a King

Beat me to it. :-D

@Chairman of the Board Wrong. I'm not a native speaker of English but I do know this. "Whom" is never the subject (only object), but "who" can be the subject. And the sentence "who ever lived" has "who" as subject. "I know someone who can help." Answer: he (the "who" who can help). "Whom have you called?" Answer: him (the "whom" who was called). Look it up in a reputable source if you don't believe me. :-)

Indeed. Rest well, Neal.

Keith moon is right there. Neil's hero as well as us other drummers.

No that’s buddy rich but Neil is good

I have had several black friends throughout my life that I introduced to RUSH. I get a kick out watching their faces go from "Here goes this white boy again with his Rock & Roll" to their head starts bobbing and by the end of the song they are hooked and want to hear more.

I never laughed at you Otis, I was rockin to it, witcha!!..oh, and I'm ✊🏾,too!!!

👊😎

@@DanInBranson Black people created rock n roll lmao, Chuck Berry was the shit

More truth!

Mike Flavin True.. 🤟🏻

yes!!!

Yep

I couldn t agree more my Uncle took me to see them in 84' I was 8 and it was one of the best nights I have seen.

R. I. P. UNCLE NEIL!!!!!

Hell ya he deos

Right? Made me bop my head to this song in a way I never had before lol 😅

The second best Trinity ;)

@@redboar Who's first?

@@marlonbrandoseyes1443 Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

Lmao!! "There's no way this is three dudes!" Yes my friend, way. He did fall for Mr. Pert right quick too, good ear.

@Mason Albert Why you magnificent name-dropper you. Only the best!

Neil Peart, THE best drummers there ever was. FIXT IT 4 YA

@@howlingmine Idk, I still have a hard time choosing between him and Bonham

@@klanganke those are two drummers that have greatly influenced how I play.

Buddy Rich > Neil Peart

@@metalmcfly7312 truth. Think even peart would agree. He even played on the buddy rich tribute.

Not the best, but he's up there

FACT (signed, a Drummer). Sorry Buddy Rich.

Yes, it would be great to hear rock classics for the firdt time again.

That is why I watch comment-videos like this: it's like you 're experiencing it with them and 'hear' what they are hearing. I love it! And best drummer ever: Neil Peart Best bass player ever: Geddy Lee. Period 😊

RIP Neil 😔

fresh perspective is always valuable

mattplus09 - Indeed a great summation. Seems he’s now ready for YES and Jon Anderson!!

He can hit the notes at the same pitch as the instruments.

And the singer's other two instruments are bass and keyboards - and frequently, he's playing all three at once...

@@DeaconBlues117 that's good ol' Canadian talent 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦😎😎😎😎

Many casual fans of Rush often overlook Geddy Lee. The hardcore fans of Rush and of good rock music understand his musical ability is second to none. "I can't believe that's 3 guys" Actually Geddy is equivalent to about 3 guys with his badass bass, multiple keyboards and 3 octaves vocals. Geddy's backstory for starting the band is incredible as well. His father who survived the Holocaust passed away when Geddy was young and his mom who also survived the concentration camps had to work very hard to raise her family. Geddy started a band in their basement and dropped out of school as they got some local notice. Not wanting to disappoint his mother who had been through so much he worked extremely hard to prove to her his rock career was going to be successful. Canada can be very honored to have such welcoming arms to so many survivors of horrors of evil men from around the world.

Vocals have always been a major part of “instrumentation”. You can sing insanely but it always is another part of the piece. Geddy’s voice is so perfect because it was so outlandish for a rock singer to sing in that register he did, it was almost an alto when most rock singers were in the standard tenor range, he really made his voice a standard in rock and it adds so much to the music.

Philip Hall so true tho

It's the second Rush Reaction video where a Black person has said that so you know it's true.

Yaaasssss bruh

Another great insight by Shaq - proving he's at the top of the heap of youtube reactors!

Nerdy rock? Yes welcome to prog

BWAHAHAAA!!

But that's why we love him

His discovery and enjoyment, the other 50%!

LOL!! So spot on!!

0% of Shaq is tasteless.

I laughed for 10 minutes when he said tbat

LMAO...yeah he was done

And then again at 6:37 😂

That made me laugh so hard! His reaction is great!

You can see his brain melt.

Oooh heckkkkkkk nah This is way to much going on for three people

Absolutely ! Although to be honest anyone who doesn't actually live in Canada is struggling to think of another 3 piece band from Canada. Are there any ?

@@jurgenstenhouse9975 Triumph is another and I am not from Canada. :)

Jurgen Stenhouse Nomeansno!

best Three piece band PERIOD!

Stampeders.

Atcha momma

Atcha mama +1

I loved the beginning where he said it sounds like he's putting in floorboards lol

It's more reggae than Hawaiian actually.

Real

Peter Patron a lot of people don’t even take that into consideration. For a guy to do the keyboard parts, bass parts, and sing live is absolutely amazing!

Peart pronounced "peert"

@@djhrecordhound4391 thanks. Autocorrect strikes again

All good, lots of people mispronounce his name as "pert" anyway

@@bradgphoto you forgot the synthesizer 😉

st catharines :)

St.kitts it is

I don’t answer questions. What’s yours badge number fuckstick! 😂 love your channel

@@papi8633 thanks for the love

Why? Because Alex is melting it off, that's why!

Mike I'm 58. And all of the old musical giants that once ruled the earth still stir and move me as much as they did when I was a lad. Rush included...

54 here....I hear ya.....and 54!!! seemed soooo fast :-(

@@starlord2112 do you know how jealous us teenagers now are of you guys that got to be teens in that time I would give anything to be reborn to be a teen then than now

@@thegamepotato1912 We had a great time, for sure!!

I cried.... I cried like I lost a brother

@@andrewpetik2034 me too man :(

@@harshitsaxena4093 For sure. That's truly the day music died for three generations of music lovers.

helps a lot when the song is a fuckin' banger as well ;)

Re skippable, my kids think I'm an old fart cos I go on about album structures, if I listen to anything old, I can tell when something is the end of a side A, its a lost album art. Everything's is just single releases now

... that's why ALBUMS were AWESOME....NO SKIPPING...YOU LISTENED TO THE WHOLE THING. The musicians produced their albums to have a constant flow

His solo from R30 is one of his best. The solo from Exit Stage Left is awesome too but I don't think there is video to go with it. Also, he writes most of the band's lyrics which is almost unheard of for a rock drummer

@@EPIzen24 I loved his R40 and Clockwork Angel's solos I don't think there's another drummer than can do what that man can

He’s from my hometown. Makes me proud.

plzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplz watch the frankfruit one

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNRkfNOjr93baKs.html

That many? 😉

Me too grrrl!

Sally Simpson you like Rush?

Lrigyttiw If that’s the case, you’re one of four VERY cool black women. Too bad my wife won’t let me date. ☹️

John, once, when I had to go, just as I sat down, they started playing my favorite song Natural Science. I had to cut it off quick and get back to my seat so I wouldn’t miss it. I’ve seen them 4 times.

Geddy also did vocals...

And in some songs live Geddy is playing keyboards, singing and rockin the bass pedals ... all at the same time. ;)

All three are absolute masters of their craft!

Geddy is awesome, but man, I'd have to go with Chris Squire. Just listen to Yes' Fragile.

@@punker-gamer-trucker-guy He's still nothing compared to prog metal's greats

Throw a brick at your mama! 😂😅

Funniest shit ever

If both make you happy and you arent hurting anyone then I say do both 😃

Played bass/sang in a cover band for a bit. People would ask if we'd cover Rush (this was before Neil passed), and I'd always say I'd have to let our drummer have the last word on that one. He said "maybe Working Man. Maybe." Unmatchable group. Everything they played was theirs completely. Still hurts.

Karl Olson lol was thinking that too, his mind would be blown

Tru dat! My favorite Rush song by far!

The studio version though....it's just better!

LMMFAO!!!

Or Natural Science

I would love to see him react to that whole album

Yes!!!!!!!!!

@@Carsonbobarson98 Yep, took them longer to write and learn than their entire second album. And some 30 years later they can play it live like it's nothing

Agree, that song has so much going on. He needs to check out YYZ as well.

My favorite album of theirs and one of my favorite songs!! Great suggestion!

+1 Was enjoying his reaction so much, I forget about all the change-ups towards the end of the song ... until we were nearly there. Then I was cackling like a mad woman, waiting to see Coach's face. He did not disappoint, lol!

"and giggling because you know exactly at which points he is going to freak out!" That is exactly what I was thinking.

Also known as Pratt.

Pratt because everyone mlspronounces Peart. (Rhymes with 'here')

Christian DeBerry I never noticed that before but you’re absolutely right - it does!

That’s a great observation. To this fellow the intro with flanger was like flys or bees. First rate dude.

Yes! Of course! Great observation.

Now I can never unheard it lol

Samantha Z. Vital signs.

Ugh i love limelight so much Rush is the best

Limelight is the shit. Definitely my favorite Rush song.

Working Man is a Great Song 👌

That's the three most commercial songs Rush has

🇨🇦👍

🇨🇦 👍🏻

Beauty eh

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦😎😎😎👍👍👍

@@Tedinator01 eh there bud they are beautys

Drummer is Neil Peart.

Since Shaq loves drumming so much, he should check out Neil’s drum solo from Frankfurt. Mind - blowing time.

Of course JP that is my original you know Canadian home fully da s not maybe 2 diff from me .... But all 3 of ain't gonna have no clue and it's gonna be Pow! Smack! Glue! & Thunder!??;??!? Oh I'm sorry I melted your faces off just now first 40 rows. And you had nothing to do with it....Gnight!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex also does bass and keys with pedals

@@maximelesperance4132 I did not know that. Absolute legends

Not even remotely argument! It is indeed them!

@Chris Paul I agree.

Fuck!!! Was it brain cancer? Cos I'm crying right now. I'm a black kid who grew up on military bases, my parents split in '79 and unmoved from Baltimore Maryland to a place called Sayward on Vancouver Island in Canada. I was introduced to Rush, Def Leppard, etc. Then came high school , Zeppelin, Maiden, Slayer, Living Color, Hendrix and all the good hip hop. Bless you Neil!

Cause it just got melted

That song makes me want to take on the entire world alone.

STARGAZER for sure! Hiiiiiiiiiigh noon oh I'd sell my soul for water!

Kill the King, Temple of the King, Man on the Silver Mountain, Stargazer, Gates of Babylon, Children of the Sea, Rainbow in the Dark, Don't Talk to Strangers (Live), Last in Line... and that's from not even half the catalog!

THIS IS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE THIS DUDE HAS THE ANSWER HOLY DIVERRRRRRRR

Gotta be" rainbow in the dark...." For first timers

AMEN!!!😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@Evan M. He's not wrong and I'm far from being a Boomer. Gen X represent!

@Evan M. U can't go criticizing a generation when the first thing you said to a valid opinion was "Ok boomer".

@Evan M. why so sad?

Perfectly said. Their musicianship was amazing. Their talent as musicians may not even be measurable. To this day, it still blows my mind that there are only three guys making all that music.

And the ending, both dealing with the realities of rock music and its history (referencing back to Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence", with its own lines, "And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls/And tenement halls/And echo in the sounds of silence").

One of the times I saw Rush in concert was on the Power Windows tour - Blue Oyster Cult was the opening band.

@@MrVvulf Need more........won't say it, lol!

Don’t Look Back is an EPIC song.

IRON MAIDEN. That would be the best.

He did tom Sawyer Also he said in the last iron maiden vid that the maiden ones get taken down (he had one taken down)

Where Eagles Dare, the song that broke my heavy metal cherry!!! Nicko's insane opening and crazy drumline through out made me buy a drum kit and learn the shit out of that song... 1983, 13 years old and Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind what an awesome time to be alive...

@@MaddogJones Man, I'm telling you. IMO that album is the best of their's with Number of the Beast a close second. I was 18 and heading off to college in 83. Our band used the Where Eagles Dare main riff as a pre-practice and pre-gig warm up. What a song. Where Eagles Dare is the winner for me for Maiden's best song that is least mentioned. What a time of life - 100% agree, man.

@@gnpahdc One of the greatest mysteries in heavy metal to me is why Nicko refuses to play double bass? His single bass work puts most double bass player to shame, could you imagine Trooper played by him with a second bass bass. It's like people who play only match grip or traditional with their sticks. I've learned both and to play right and left handed. And bass player only either finger playing or only using a pick. They just seem to be limiting themselves.

RUSH was the greatest rock band ever.

La Villa Strangulation and 2112 side A too!

Hard rock bands

Peart and Bonham co-#1s

I agree, because I think he would be laid out on the floor at the end of that one. ;

he would not survive it.

There is a video of Neil that has drums all the way around him and they move.... I would love to see that reaction!

gunthermon bro hell yes

And it needs to be the live version from Burt sugarmans midnight special

Meh... not bad. Just a little boring.
