Rush - Distant Early Warning

Aye ❤

Mercy!

What a dip monger singing about acid rain.

Probably also believes in the Easter Bunny

The world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy
But I worry about you

I'm still here!

Honestly, looking at this video now, the first thought that crossed my mind was, "Were those guys EVER that young??"

This album came out the year I graduated high school & right around the time I was heavily getting into metal & punk, so I kinda strayed from the "synth-era" of Rush. I would drift in and out of listening to them as much as I used to (had everything up to Signals, then skipped to Hold Your Fire and fell out again until Vapor Trails) which bummed me out because there were a lot of tours I would have love to have seen, but now rediscovering the deeper cuts on Grace Under Pressure & Power Windows is like getting new music from them for me. Even though I was familiar with some of the songs, those two records were the only two I didn't have in my collection until recently. Still feeling the same inspiration I did as a young adult in the 80's. Beautiful.

Alex's red Strat with the mirrored pickguard looks and sounds fantastic!

Anyone listening to this in 2025 and feeling....Absalom?

2025 Anyone??

February 2025

Nirvana swimming pool rocket 🚀 children.

Be cool or be cast out, like of the suburbs.

A great time in my life!!!

I have been listening to Rush for so long, I still think of this album as, "New Rush".

Almost 41 years later and this is still fantastic!

rush is a band of many incarnations. Like this phase, along with the others very much. Just sharing a message that was shared with me. Eternity matters. Read and sincerely believe; Gospel of Grace, 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 for true salvation. Belief in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for our sins plus nothing. No baptism, tithing etc. WE do good works, just not saved by them. Ephesians 2 8-10 ;in the Holy Bible, will prove that. Matthew 10 5-6 will prove Jesus sent the 12 to the Jews not the samaritans and gentiles. And acts 9 10-16 proves this.

Jesus its like ⅓ Police, ⅓ The Cult and a further 3rd of Splitz Enz/Crowded House. This has melted my mind.

Geddy does not sing. NOT TO LOVE, NOT TO LOVE, NOT TO LOVE!

Need someone to talk to, someone to sweep the floors.

Great song that was terribly recorded and produced. Sonically awful, drum sound dead, vocals screechy with vocal sibilance, over blaring synthesizers... sonically terrible production.

Not many people know this but the kid was not really flying on the rocket. They used green screens.

This album is what really got me into Rush. I remember a friend showing me 2112 quickly and I wasn't really into prog rock yet so I didn't get it. Anyways, a year later, a musician in my family was dying of lung cancer and gave me alot of his vinyls (he also sold me one of his 70's tube amp and a guitar). One day I was looking at the Grace Under Pressure vinyl and when I saw the back cover I was like "yo this dude looks like Tom Hanks haha!!!" (Neil Peart) and it made me curious so I gave it a try... I was MIND BLOWNED, it was maybe in 2020 and it felt like I was listening to some music from the future (even tho it sounds 80's too). Then I immediately look at their earlier stuff and bought a vinyl of A Farewell To Kings, I remember going to my bandmates/friends house with those two vinyls to show them and they really enjoyed it too, we got hooked literally. 1-2 weeks later we were already trying to play/cover Rush (+ we were a power trio). Thank you Rush for all the good music, the good moments and all the inspiration you brang to us.

R.I.P. Neil Peart 🙏

Simply the best 🎶

Geez I feel terrible for Neil's drums! 😂

For the DC plane crash

Was stationed in ‘Cold War’ Germany when this song/album was released. As an Air Defense Artillery soldier (Vulcans), this song had a huge impact on me as we were ALWAYS on alert, waiting for the dreaded Soviet Air Force to launch a sneak attack! Thank God they never did. USA! USA! USA!❤

It's 2025. If you are listening to this you are like me: 🎉nostalgic for '80s Rush! 🎉 Over 40 yrs ago I saw Grace Under Pressure Tour and it was just amazing and powerful. I was 12 yrs old and man, did I love the smell inside

These lyrics hold as much if not more meaning today than forty years ago .. yes, it's been forty years, dammit.

They had a Miami Vice look before Miami Vice.

Quem veio pelo Xadrez Verbal?

I love the comments about Rush being my favorite band and now my neighbors favorite band too weather they like it or not.. 😂😂😂

Fans were SHOCKED when Geddy Lee revealed in his book that there were lots of drugs…..

This clip Is SO CRINGE but The music Is literally a masterpiece

I only started listening to Rush a few weeks ago and while I regret it took me so long, I think I wouldn't have been able to handle such awesomeness in my younger days.

1980s atomic war fear + Rush = perfect combi.

Elton John: Rocket Man
Rush: Rocket Kid

love me Rush 🎶❤

"The world weighs on my shoulders, but what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy, but I worry about you.
I know it makes no difference to what you're going through.
But I’ve seen the tip of the iceberg and I worry about you."

It's interesting to look back at those times and realize how tense the world was due to the imminent threat of nuclear war. It definitely reflected in Neil's lyrics on this very dark but great album. Between the Wheels is my favorite.

I miss the 80's.

This song was on a compilation cassette tape in the late 80’s. It remains my favorite Rush song.

This song is metal as fuck

The Best song!!!

Wow, I haven't seen this since I was a kid. I totally forgot about this song.

Always on MTV

New World Men did an unbelievable cover to this song!

I had a dream i was flying like that and my little dog was on my shoulder when I woke up, just a few months ago.
