This is the funniest thing I think I have ever seen on ColbertNation.com, pretty much ever!
From ColbertNation.com:
The Canadian rock power trio RUSH appeared on The Colbert Report last Wednesday, performing an extended version of their hit “Tom Sawyer” that reached into the beginning Thursday’s show. Before they took the stage, Alex, Geddy, and Neil accepted our challenge to perform “Tom Sawyer” as part of the video game Rock Band. Check it out!
That’s hysterical – great clip!!

I played Guitar Hero for the first time this past week, and it is HARD. And I was on the Beginner level. I have so much sympathy for them.

sweet, that was the most awesome thing ever, hahaha
Come on tho, the reason the guitar is wireless (ps2 and ps3 versions, at least), is for rockin out and getting crazy, same with the mic (I know Geddy knows the words). And where were the lights, smoke, and crowd?
heh, all in good fun. They still did awesome show on the show.

Anybody have a youtube link for canadians? It’s kinda ironic that the “Canadian rock power trio” can’t be viewed in Canada.

You can get to it with some efforts with your web browser. Configure your browser to use a manual proxy in the US, they wont be able to block non-US from watching their videos.

Dude, my brother just got the game Rock Band last week, and I was playing the drums part to “Tom Sawyer” … and failed horribly. Games like that are always hard at first, no matter how good you are.

Haha! That’s too funny! Looks like some of the crew is still hung up on Rock Band even after the strike ended. Nice behind-the-scenes footage!

Were they playing in Stephen’s office?! Maybe it was the lounge area.
Anyone know who the camera guy with the glasses was?
Fun stuff!

I’ll ask again what a few people have already asked: WHY CAN’T SOME OF US WATCH THIS CLIP? It says “Loading…” for a second of two, and then stops. Could someone please put it up on Youtube?

There are geographic restrictions on the video, so if you’re outside of the US, you can’t see them. Also, I have found that sometimes, if I am in Firefox, videos will just lock up and I have to reboot. If you are in the US, and this is happening, shut down Firefox and restart and see if that helps.
We are not the official ‘Colbert Report’ site, so we have no control over the videos.

Stephen what would it take for you to remedy the situation and have Canada recognized as part of the Colbert Nation. Would Canada Post have to put you on a stamp? …because they will do just that … check it out…
