“Killing in the Name” remains one of alt-rock greatest and most angriest songs. If the four guys in the band could make it sound that awesome, what about a thousand musicians playing it all at once?

The Rockin’ 1000, an Italian project, tried this at Stade de France in 2022. They released the video a couple of days ago.

It’s not new Rush or a Rush reissue. But Rush fans will want these records from Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee.
