Frankie Bello playing Geddy Lee's bassline... two personal heros of mine in one recording, this is unreal <3

[kabband]

Charlies drumming deserves a big shout out!

[marka.mcconaghy]

Gotta respect any band that covers the Holy Trinity. Nicely done.

Takes balls to cover Rush, if you're going to do it you have to play it like you own it, and Anthrax pulled it off. Sounds fucking great. Plus they threw in that little cowbell riff from Passage to Bangkok at the end, nice shoutout to fellow Rush fans.

I'm a huge fan of both Anthrax and Rush. Anthrax do a brilliant job on this song! I always knew what talented musicians the band are but this just nails that opinion in even further.

I’ll admit I know little about Anthrax, but Anthem is not a song you decide to cover unless you have some serious chops. This is one of the most amazing Rush covers I’ve ever heard. The difficulty level of the vocals in this particular song (and lots of Rush tunes in general) is extremely high. In my opinion this singer gave an absolutely masterful performance. The playing was on point too. Way beyond my expectations! I’m happy to see those influenced by Rush perpetuating their music. May it be enjoyed by generations to come.

can't stop listening to this. huge Rush fan.This is super good same song just even heavier!! Belladonna kicks ass here. great guitar what's not to like.

Now Rush needs to do Caught In A Mosh!!

[philipkeaveney]

Anthrax covering Rush. What's not to love? Two of the best bands ever!

[Modnar]

I'm very impressed Joey in this. Considering his age he hit the high notes really well, very impressive. The instrumental is awesome too.

[MrFender]

Awesome version of a classic by RUSH. Neil Peart even gave it high marks, says something for the cover.Awesome job guys.

[alexandermglass]

Very cool, had no idea Anthrax were Rush fans.  Very cool to hear the song slowed down just a bit.  Masterful recreation on the drum part and guitar solo.  Appreciated the closing notes of Passage to Bangkok

[dimdim]

one of the best songs of rock history, played well by Anthrax - but none can catch the artisty of Rush

[dronegrey]

rush is probably my favorite band, but i have to say this is one of the best covers i have heard period. I think they did an excellent job with the song, it aint easy to cover rush and anthrax proved they could along side with dream theater

[metalicrocker]

Anthrax pulls off yet one more awesome cover!!!

[peterwhite]

I heard some Geddy here,  you guys nailed this cover to the wall,   great job!

[TariffRisinger]

I didn't think Joey could match Geddy's inflections, depth and range of vocals in this song but he did awesome!

[bubinga]

As a huge Rush fan, I don't usually like most attempts at covering their songs, but I like this. They did a great job.

[rickanimaltaylor]

Awesome it just goes to show how great of musicians Anthrax are!!!!

As a Canadian from RUSH's hometown of Toronto. I say well done.
