I tried to search and I didn't find one single topic for Rush cover versions. So it's about time to open one.

 

I'll start.

 

Here's a 7-year old kid, Avery Molek, drumming Tom Sawyer. Love it!

Indeed it is. But the topic was "gooad and bad" Rush covers. I just HAD to share.

 

The comments in Youtube are priceless. :D

Here's Nelly Furtado's infamous Time Stand Still.

You know, this is the first I am even hearing of this cover. So I went to YouTube intending to listen and to read the comments (which I already knew would be priceless). I just could not get myself to hit that "play" button, but the comments were pretty funny. :)

Avery Molek, the 7-year old kid,.plays YYZ here:

 

It's not perfect but pretty good.

 

Avery's comment:

"This is a crazy hard song to play, Neils drumming is so amazing! Rush is now one of my favorite bands!"

Detonator, if you're interested, here's a link to a similar thread I started last year (I limited mine to established bands covering Rush tunes; there are others, as well).

Damn... I tried to search but couldn't find that thread. Perhaps these threads could be merged by a moderator?

Hey, if I had a nickel for every similar thread, I'd have enough for a really nice ham sandwich!

 

At any rate, a database of Rush covers by signed bands would be kind of cool. Big job - not up for it myself!

A nice rendition of Panacea. This duo also does other covers too.

Krush and Lotus Land are the only RUSH tribute bands that are good that I know of. I love those bands. Next best thing to RUSH.

 

Thanks. :D

 

Honored!

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This kind of singing always makes me think of the Muppet show. Edited by toymaker

It was the worst Rush cover I've ever heard. It sounded like the theme music to some shitty 80s teen tv drama...especially the "freeze this moment..." part: I imagined the crappy, teeny bop actors/actresses giving their signature pose smiling to the camera as their real names flash.
