As we mentioned in their “YYZ” video, YYNOT has a new drummer (Chris Moore). And so they’re recording lots of new versions of their epic Rush covers with this new lineup. As always, the bass (and more) is handled by Tim Starace, with Billy Alexander on guitar and Rocky Kuner on vocals. In this video, they tackle “Prelude,” the first...

Time for some more goodness from our favorite Rush cover band. In this video, the quartet goes old school with “What You’re Doing,” from Rush’s debut album. As always, the gritty tone of Tim Starace and his Ric is on display.

This is the one I’ve been waiting for from YYNOT. The virtual Rush cover band has just released their cover of “YYZ.” This is their first video with the band’s new drummer, Chris Moore, who joins bassist Tim Starace and guitarist Billy Alexander. Tim even handles the keyboards on this one, Geddy-style.

Last June, we featured the audio track for YYNOT’s original tune, “Kingdom Come.” Now the band has released their official video. The Rush-inspired virtual band did this video the way they’ve put together all their terrific covers: shot/recorded in multiple locations, including Southern California, Florida, and Nashville. As always, Tim Starace drives things with his gritty bass tone, along with...

YYNOT’s latest virtual Rush cover brings back a lot of memories of spinning 2112 back in the day. Our good friend Tim Starace handles the bass and air drums on this one. And once again, they nail it.

Since it’s debut on the 1982 album, Signals, Rush hadn’t performed “Losing It” live. That all changed on Rush’s R40 tour, where they performed the tune during their stop in Toronto on June 19, 2015. Joining them on stage was violinist Ben Mink, who performed on the original track. YYNOT decided to take the R40 version and do a cover....

The guys known as YYNOT have done it again – nailing yet another virtual Rush cover. In case you’ve missed the previous videos, guitarist/keyboardist Billy Alexander, drummer/percussionist Rodrigo Concha Tm and bassist Tim Starace don’t live near each other, but they share a common interest – the music of Rush. They record all of their videos virtually. In this video,...

Our good friend Tim Starace sent us one of the latest from the virtual band YYNOT, who just nails these Rush covers. Here’s the quartet performing “Book I: The Voyage”, which appeared on A Farewell to Kings. Dig Tim’s tone!

We’ve featured a couple of impressive videos by the virtual band known as YYNOT. Here’s another. In this video, the group covers one of the greatest sides of a rock album ever – Rush’s “Cygnus X-1, Book II” – in its entirety. And once again, Tim Starace nails Geddy’s lines. The rest of the band includes Billy Alexander on guitars,...

The virtual trio of bassist Tim Starace, guitarist/vocalist Billy Alexander and drummer Rod Concha Tm knocked us out a while back when they shared their Rush-inspired tune “YYNOT“. They shared another on our forum, this time doing a virtual cover of “Red Barchetta”. Dig that Ric tone!
