Lost in Vegas - Rush-2112 REACTION

A lot of people have seen this already, and I commented on Twitter earlier about it.

I enjoyed this one a ton as I have with all of their Rush videos and many others.

The only issue is the edits for copyright concerns.

I mentioned they should check out the ANIMATED VIDEO that Rush themselves shared a few years ago.

Thanks for making this! This was a ton of fun!, even with having to edit some spots. I would suggest listening to 2112 without edits soon, and actually a great way to do that would be with the ANIMATED VIDEO: https://t.co/NrZTxGxMZU https://t.co/AmGJSGpyhc

And then I added another post on twitter tagging them and Rush that echos a ton of comments in support of them making a REACT TO video for Natural Science.

@lostinvegas83 I will echo many requests in the 2112-Reaction video, for your next @rushtheband Reaction Video, NATURAL SCIENCE. would be awesome. I find it simply a perfectly composed piece of music.

It is awesome they love Rush so much, and some of the comments asked about them reacting to some other names in progressive rock. Yes of course (Roundabout, which might make sense, although someone suggested Heart of the Sunrise which would be my suggestion).

And so I chimed in about Genesis and King Crimson which I thought they may have done a video for 21st Century Schizoid Man, but I'm not sure. They could react to Starless or Red I suppose if so.

RX Bandits - 21st Century Schizoid Man (King Crimson cover)

The last I heard about these guys is they broke up, and then got back together, sort-of. Not that I was ever obsessed with them, but I enjoyed the 2 or 3 times I saw them live, and some of their studio records were pretty good.

This is a pretty sweet cover though...5:49 Black Sabbath?

What this may also mean for the status of the band? perhaps a new record sometime in the next year or 2 perhaps and maybe more touring? who knows. If these guys are back together now, I'd love to see some other recently hiatus-ed/broken up groups get back together as well (Oceansize or Pure Reason Revolution would be high..Kaddisfly already are as well).

RX Bandits are currently on the road celebrating the 10 year anniversary of 2003’s The Resignation. They’ve also had time for some new recordings as well. Today we premiere the group’s cover of King Crimson’s “21st Century Schizoid Man.” Here is what RX Bandits’ Steve Choi has to say about their version of the song from King Crimson’s 1969 debut album, In the Court of the Crimson King : “The Mighty King Crimson. We definitely feel a creative affinity for their aim and vibe, although we wouldn’t presume to say we have reached half the audience they have. Those of you familiar with this song I’m sure are familiar with the yolk of the tune which would be the bridge shred section. We went back and forth unable to decide whether to recreate, or re-interpret and do our own version of the original bridge. In the end we decided to totally break off and completely go our own way with it. We are what we are by being creatively self-indulgent at times. We hope we did this simple and noble tune justice.”

Deerhoof + The Flaming Lips: 20th Century Schizoid Man

This King Crimson cover of "21st Century Schizoid Man" is probably the best (only) thing I've ever liked from The Flaming Lips. I'm not fully clear on why it's labeled "20th" and not the proper "21st" but so be it.

As some may have read in the past, I'm a fan of Deerhoof, but The Flaming Lips (shits) I've never cared for, and likely never will. I'm happy for them for covering Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and stuff like this, but that hardly changes my mind about their own music, nor how "prog" they are.
