Sorry, but I take every opportunity I can to sing Rush guitar parts. Much to the chagrin of the people around me in traffic. “Oh, hell yes. I play my car like Dizzy Gillespie played… whatever.”
(I’m pretty sure that onomatopœia is correct. Related: for a very short period of time, I did a thing called Widdly Widdly where I wrote down the vocalisations of bits of songs. It’s not very good, but I do still like the name.)

Rush — “YYZ” (Drum Track Only)
“YYZ” is in Rock Band 2, and in order to let people play along with the song, Harmonix had to isolate the individual tracks of each of the songs in the game (so, the song plays without a guitar track when you play the guitar).
The result is this video — it’s just Neil Peart’s part on “YYZ.” If you listen really closely, you can actually hear the splash cymbal ring just a tiny bit when he really puts a hurtin’ on the bass drum.
(Posted because Merlin’s been all “Rush Rush Rush” on the Twitter lately, and because I take any opportunity I can to try and end the great cultural war between myself and my Canadian Internet Friends.)
