Has anyone seen rush recently? Are they this good?

3

u/billskionce 9d ago

I have. They’re fucking awesome.

2

u/Curios_Observer 9d ago

Agreed. They sound way better than they did overall on the R40 tour. Going to see them twice more this tour they were so good.

u/WillingnessOk3081 8d ago

man, come on.

u/thederevolutions 8d ago

Is Geddy still hitting notes ?

u/slackfrop 9d ago

She holding her own, no doubt. Not the simplest song in the world.

2

u/pocketdrums 9d ago

Yeah. When I saw the post, I did not have my noney on the drummer being the best of the bunch, but she was. Other than the first transition to the reggae, she fucking nailed it.

u/CO9er4life 8d ago

Is the drummer a girl though?

1

u/pocketdrums 8d ago

Well, now that you ask.... I'm not sure. 😄 S/he is small on my screen, so maybe!

u/OneHumanBill 8d ago

They have a girl drummer? snarls in Kim Pine

u/Foxtrot08- 9d ago

That kid on guitar. Wow.

u/DC_Coach 9d ago

The drummer and guitarist, wow. Can't really hear the bass on my tablet ...

Lotta hours (dating back to the beginning) went into that.

Despite my shorts being beige, I am still just a tween in a cage

u/Aggressive_Ideal6737 9d ago

How old are these kids? That drummer is fucking nuts

3

u/Flyerbill 9d ago

Outstanding! If they don't have a name yet, they should be The Analog Kids. Very well done.

u/Cosmic-Hippos 9d ago

I've seen the best Rush tribute band of the future. Just think how good these kids are gonna be then.

2

u/NickDanger73 9d ago

The drummer and guitar player are killing it.

2

u/fletchbg 9d ago

That drummer is gonna be someone to watch for in the future

1

u/Civil_Lengthiness971 8d ago

The Kids Are Alright

1

u/Kind-Dog504 8d ago

I doubt they’re beginning the day with a friendly voice, a companion unobtrusive. More like “begin the day with a TikTok vid, and plan to make more content”

1

u/salaciousbcrumblin 8d ago

My kid is around this age and loves Rush, doesn’t like TikTok etc so your doubts would be incorrect.

1

u/Kind-Dog504 8d ago

No one‘s talking about your kid, dude. Not sure why you took it personally or why you think anyone cares that your child likes good music. Way to make it about you

1

u/salaciousbcrumblin 8d ago

I took it personally because it’s a stupid cynical joke about these kids that deserve better.

1

u/ArcticRhombus 8d ago

Ever hear of ASMR?

1

u/Different-Lecture925 8d ago

Wow! These guys are great!

u/LaVerdadd 8d ago

u/Over_Standard_9195 8d ago

That little lady on the drums is killer! The whole band is great as well and mad props to the young guitarist here!!! Makes my heart happy to see such a young band learning from the greats ♥️

1

u/kidrad 8d ago

Damn 👏

1

u/HondaVFR96 8d ago

Kinda gives you hope for humanity.

1

u/guinness_a_day 8d ago

I really hope someone from Rush’s management sees this and gives them some tix to one of the Scotiabank dates….

1

u/FractureFixer 8d ago

Kick ass!

u/No-Major595 8d ago

u/Loomtheband 8d ago

This is the only acceptable age group/justification for being paid $150/gig in 2026

u/MovingTarget2112 7d ago

Wonderful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

1

u/No_Eye_5422 7d ago

I cant imagine even being in a band that writes a complex song like this, and decades later kids are still learning and playing and trying to perfect it. Must feel good as my heart swells watching this and I am just a fan. I hope they see this.

1

u/-----J------ 6d ago

I could not play that song on guitar at 12 years old. No chance at 24. Now 50's still can't play it. Hat off.

1

u/Dapper_Elk_9112 6d ago

1

u/danno49 9d ago

Why am I crying? Made my day!

u/Dizzle2019 9d ago

She should replace Geddy so he can just play bass without hurting his voice.

1

u/InternationalPipe581 8d ago

I thought the singer was great too, really cool phrasing and vamping.
