Vocal Coach Reacts to RUSH - Closer to the Heart

I'm crying. A 60 year old man, crying. We will never have a group like this, ever again, and it breaks my heart.

Easily the greatest 3 piece band to ever grace our musical lives. Absolutely they're unique from formation to stardom especially since they started in the '70s and only recently well a few years back, stopped touring. Unfortunately the drummer Neil Peart passed away. He was a huge part of the lyrical aspect of their music. RIP Neil❣ Arguably the best drummer ever.

The look on your face when Geddy started singing was priceless. Fun to watch, put a smile on my face 😁

Geddy has one of the most unique voices in rock. I grew up with Rush...saw them on their moving pictures tour when they were taking the world by storm. There is nothing like them at all!

His voice is very unique and people either love it or hate it. Personally I love it 😊

The crispness and clarity is 100% natural, it's not a mixing trick. I went to their Cleveland concert quite a few years ago and this is their sound. The shear amount of sound and variety coming out of these three gentlemen is incredible.

"A golden thread..." Perfect. No better description of Geddy's voice has never been uttered.

Rush and Triumph are not only on top of Canada's three man bands but imo two of the best 3 man bands that ever existed. Does Canada proud!

You have entered the Rushniverse, a place of musical wonder, of lyrical prowess, of utter virtuosism in a power trio that set out to become "the smallest symphonic orchestra" and made it through 40 years of impeccable music. One of the greatest bands ever.

You have found the biggest three player band ever! If you want your mind completely blown ... try the live performance of Xanadu from the Exit Stage Left tour - three people playing like a dozen. When they started, Led Zeppelin was the big thing, so Geddy took his vocals high. Over the years his range lowered, but the one thing you never need is a lyric sheet. His enunciation is perfect, and his expression is unparalleled. Neil Peart, the greatest of all drummers, also wrote the lyrics, and if you are wise enough to proceed down this rabbit-hole, you will hear songs so beautifully crafted that you will be moved on a level like Nightwish. They're different versions of genius and masterpieces, but they're at that level. Might I suggest live performances whenever possible, because like Nightwish, they're more emotional when playing live. The quality doesn't suffer, it's actually enhanced. Much love, Bethany!! You are so much fun, and your "going back" is something for which you shouldn't apologize. It's one of the things that makes you so very special ... you do it for the passion.

I feel when Neil wrote the lyrics "You can be the Captain, and I will draw the chart", he was self reflecting.

I'm surprised you didn't mention once that he can sing like this and play one helluva bass at the same time.

I saw Rush live multiple times back in the 70's and 80's. Geddy's unique voice is not a product of studio mixing. It's just as great live! He just has a quality that is real and his own.

Girl, the look on your face listening to Geddy was PRICELESS!!

2 minutes in and youre hooked. forever... Geddy's voice and bass, Alex's guitar, Neal's drums and lyrics.... it really doesnt get much better than this for me. i dont understand how 'musicians' or those who call themselves this, "dont like RUSH because i hate HIS voice". a more talented group of THREE GUYS, you'll never find. ive listened to RUSH since "All the World's a Stage" in 1976. for being a secular band, they touch my soul and i am moved by their talent and message.

Thank you Bethany for your wonderful commentary on Geddy Lee's vocals ! His voice is quite unique in the rock and roll annals ! High pitched and dynamic charged ! The group Rush is a progressive rock band that has stayed together and performed for over 40 years ! With the passing of their legendary drummer Neil Peart a few years ago they stopped playing ! They are best friends and the group was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 ! Not a mainstream group but an innovative technically brilliant band of musicians ! They have a huge global following and always had sold out concerts everywhere ! They are Canadian from Toronto and their DNA is entrenched in our music scene ! Thank you and keep posting in your fantastic channel !👍😊🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️

Awe yes❤️❤️❤️.. welcome to the WONDERFUL world of RUSH 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦✌️..

Rush and Triumph are both 3 man bands with exceptional vocals and instrumentals. You will not find any better in the world!!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Give Triumph a listen . Magic Power , Fight the Good Fight Rick Emit's vocals are incredible. They're another 3 piece gem from Canada. ✌️

Geddy Lee has a very distinctive voice. I would suggest reacting to 2112 where Geddy really shows you the range of his voice. Cheers
