Every human in this studio killed it, but Felix Lehrmann (the drummer) killed it, buried it, exhumed it and hanged it again like it was Oliver Cromwell.

[JimBob-vboz]

"How good are you?"

"Paul Gilbert plays rhythm for me"

[Gruuvin]

You all did an "okay" job, but this one goes the the "human capo"! He DESTROYED this session! Amazing!

[BreckKitts]

Mr. Miller, I'm a retired session player with Atlantic Records, you SIR are a rare gift in music and I've played with Rush in the late 70's... AWESOME

[RichardGarcia]

2:53 Martin’s solo lives rent free in my head, and it’s incredible that he can so confidently in front of Paul Gilbert!

Literally the perfect solo.

[kushking]

This song can also be played by three Canadians

[allancrow]

I've played this song for years because it's the only Rush song I can sing.:)

[BangBangBeefyMacNCheesy]

2:27 first time in my 50 years on this planet where I can say I’ve now witnessed a “Human Capo” 👍🏻👍🏻

[KinProductions]

You guys HAVE to do a Rush Medley.
I would be able to die happy.

[ME-whpf]

God, i can't believe it the way you play this Rush title. Such a difficult, hard and complete band to cover. You're absolutaly smashing guys. Guitars, and the mad killer drummer! Much respect! We love it! I love it!

[robertb.]

This was really not at all like the original, and that's what I really liked about it. I love RUSH and the original YYZ, but I can hear that anytime. This was a fun, tight, inspired reimagining of the song, and Paul Gilbert was having a blast!

[frankardos]

the drummer is just incredible. the "average" cover to handle at all let alone completely just OWN it! Well done brothers.

[suvarnachauhan]

2:53 what a well arranged solo, Martin and Kiko Loureiro are my two favorite modern guitar players.

[bjdee]

Paul Gilbert's solo was insane. Incredible musicians all around.

[vittoriodanzini]

Hey Martin
Please make a Medley of Rush
Time stand still
Subdivisions
Tom Sawyer
Limelight
Open secrets
The Spirit of the Radio

Cheers from Sao Paulo Brazil

[RobMichael]

I made it to the 5 second mark on my phone before stopping playback and declaring to myself "To the studio monitors!!"

[edwardmakabling]

Paul: i forgot my capo.

Speak no more.

[danlightowler]

Bass is criminally quiet for a rush cover

[tomaszkurdya]

RUSH has been my favorite band for many years. This cover is fantastic, the guitar solo is beautiful and Felix is an amazing drummer.

[danielflintknapping]

When I listen to Rush I can hear were bands like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Meshugga and hundreds of others bands got their inspiration from. Rush truly were one for the ages!!
