theanalogmiddleagedman Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 It wasn't awful. The music wasn't bad, other than botching the solo section, but the dudes voice is not suited to sing Geddy. My girls are really into Rush, and they also like this band. They were abhorred by the way it sounded. I had to laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 It wasn't a bad cover. Before seeing that video, I never would've guessed the band was talented enough to pull the song off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theanalogmiddleagedman Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 One of the few positive comments I can say about any modern pop act is at least they still play instruments and have some talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pound of Obscure Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 One more example of why most band don't try to cover Rush. Its very hard. Props for effort though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I love watching these guys live. And good for them for attempting such a tough song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudbuytjane Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I misread the thread title on first reading, so I closed my eyes and visualized a dragon behind a drum kit, one playing guitar, and one on bass and keys. It was pretty cool. ;) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Recorded on a phone of course it's going to sound like shit.They are one of the more promising new acts out there. I'm definitely a fan and can't wait to hear their next album.On the Beatles 50th anniversary Ed Sullivan show they did a fantastic version of revolution. Check out their appearance on snl from a couple weeks ago. Pretty impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangster of Goats Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I like these guys (despite "Radioactive" being overplayed everywhere for the last couple years or so, but whatev'...) so I thought it was kinda cool that they gave a Rush song a shot. I've seen much worse covers of Tom Sawyer, believe me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out their appearance on snl from a couple weeks ago. Pretty impressive. Yeah, i thought it was decent. The singer was off, but the instrumentation was pretty solid. The drummer was ok for the most part. I think its cool that a band who is on the radar with younger kids gives props to Rush..whos to say how many kids may have actually went out after the show and checked out Moving Pictures?..its cool...not sure why people get so offended by it..its good publicity for Rush and adds to their influence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudbuytjane Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Speaking of weird Rush covers (though aren't all of the covers a little weird?) has everyone heard Nelly Furtado doing "Time Stand Still"? I still have a hard time believing that exists, and I've heard it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
