thanks man!
i knew you would one of the few that would really enjoy that video.

This is an easter egg from the "Rush in Rio" DVD. If you've got the DVD:

Put in disc 2 of the Rush in Rio DVD
Select O Baterista. You can view the entire clip or return to the menu after it starts.
When you return to the menu, select YYZ
Upon returning to the menu, select YYZ again
After that, select O Baterista
When you return to the menu, Anthem 1975 will appear and you'll be able to watch a video of Rush playing Anthem from back in 1975.

Reason for this: O Baterista is video clip #2, and YYZ is clip #1. Viewing them in the order above, you get 2112.


There is also a hidden "Bytor and the Snow Dog" animated short:
1- Insert disc two
2- Select Boys in Brazil from main menu
3- When you get to the 26:40 mark of the film, push enter on your remote and the Bytor cartoon will begin. Enjoy.

The eyelids are waaaaaaay fake in their movements too.

I remember this guy from the guitar hero video of YYZ. The guy that just got done doing sweet tricks on his motorcycle... http://videosift.com/video/Guitar-Hero-2-Rush-YYZ-on-Expert

Yea, the stick flipping really got in the way of a good performance there.

That said, as a midi nut I can tell you there really isn't a good midi of YYZ out there. Guitars in midi are a bit of an artform and none of them had it.

In those instances however some girls just decide to do the entire thing solo...

(to be fair, the drums were pre-done, I thought she started out doing them in realtime but later one she is clearly not. EDIT: She us controlling multiple drum tracks with her feet, so while not realtime, she is controlling which drum patterns are played in realtime).

The Rush song is called YYZ, as in the three letter code for Toronto's Pearson International Airport.

Here are a few:

Um, linking the original video would have helped, you expect us all to just know what YYZ is?

Geeze

Still, nice, both videos, nice.

He has excellent real and fake guitar skills
