Is This Really A 3-Piece Band?! Rush 'Tom Sawyer' | Bass Coach Reaction

Añadido: 2026-06-04

[00:00:00]Hello, hello. Welcome back to Based Coach Walrus. I'm Sean Walrus and I'm a bass guitar coach. This is my first time reaction and analysis of Rush Moving Pictures 2011 remaster. This one is for you guys, the Seismic Leviathans in my Patreon as a piece of exclusive content.

[00:00:20]This is what you guys voted for amongst others. You didn't know I've never heard a full Rush album in my life and so this is really the first time I'm doing this.

[00:00:28]Of course, everyone has heard of Rush.

[00:00:30]They are apparently one of the pioneers in the prog rock scene. I don't know a whole lot about them, but happy to hear from you guys. So, this is Moving Pictures. It is a nice Friday afternoon and what better way than to kick it off with some prog rock. By the way, because this album reaction is exclusive to the Leviathan tier, you'd have to join that tier [music] to check out the entire reaction. But for YouTube, I will be releasing maybe one or two snippets just to give you guys an idea of what kind of content we do on this community. All right? So, let's listen. First song, Tom Sawyer.
