To all the people trash talking the cellist:
1. You must be unfamiliar with Primus
2. This song is difficult to play on guitar, which would make it even more difficult on a cello. The fact he nailed it as well as he did while wearing a mask is legendary. Yo Yo Ma could hardly have done better.
Side note: it is a strange sound, but Primus is a strange band and I'm sure that Rush loved it. If it's good enough for the guys who wrote the music then what do you accomplish by talking shit? They wouldn't have asked them to do it in the first place if they didn't want to hear it.

First time I saw Les serious and even sound a little choked up while talking about his heroes. He just did a straight up cover and was great.

What's everyone bitching about? It sounds like Primus covering a Rush song. Sheesh.

What blows my mind is the very few comments on the chello player.That guy was incredible to play that on that instrument.

This is genius
Every part of it
The visuals
The replaced conventional instruments
The sound
It’s bloody amazing
Les has always been a genius

At the end of the day, Les is a friend of Rush. And we aren't, so... fuck us.

Everyone saying this is a bad performance/cover/whatever; I think you're just not accustomed to hearing Les sing in a major key, or...any key, for that matter. Embrace the strangeness.

This is definately the most original Rush cover I've ever heard. Crazy.

I love this. Les will always do his own thing. He's the Willy Wonka of music and that's why he and Primus are great. They don't need to fit any genre. Just let them do their thing and create. Its funky and fun, and to have a brilliant bassist is a bonus.

I try to ignore the cesspool known as the YouTube comments section, but I felt compelled to throw my two cents in here. The RRHOF induction ceremony isn't just about how many albums you sold or how long you've been touring. Part of it is showing the influence you've had on all of music in general. Rush was a huge influence for Les Claypool and when they invited him to perform at this event, it wasn't to see how accurately he could recreate the studio recording of Spirit of Radio. Any musicians could do that and it would prove nothing about the impact RUSH had on anything. This was a brilliantly-done, creative interpretation of an amazing piece of music. A fitting tribute to Rush's sanctity.

This was really damn good. I'm a big fan of both Rush and Les Claypool. To imagine anyone hating on this is beyond me. Grow up. This was fantastic!

Rush is my favorite with no close second. Les Claypool's 'steampunk' version is just a testament to how good this song really is. I think Rush was flattered by hearing another interpretation. After all, Rush did several versions of this song in their little trailer called 'A History of Rush'.

This is so awesome, you can tell that everyone playing is a fan. Nervous and trying their best I can't imagine being there and how they felt.

I actually like his singing in a way. He tells a story unlike many other singers.
