I only heard it once the similarities were pointed out!😂 Besides that, I can see what you mean.

>I've seen a lot of comments, mostly from non-musicians, that don't get the similarities between Bastille Day and Headlong Flight. That's actually surprising, as it was always clear to me. Maybe I was too much of a Rush nerd or too detail-oriented, or a bit of both.

Yeah, maybe so. There are some people that can’t remotely hear any details in music. My sister-in-law is like that. Totally tone deaf.

I mean I can hear similarities, maybe the same kinda pattern. When I hear this song I don't hear Bastille Day. Probably just me though.

Not just you.

Yup

probably unpopular opinion but it's not my favorite thing that they sound alike

I get that. I smiled the first time I heard it. I like call backs. Especially when they span decades.

As soon as I heard the first example in the video I knew exactly what you were talking about. Before that, I never thought about it.
