Agreed - I can sing, I can play bass, I can even play rhythm guitar whilst singing. But I cannot play bass and sing at the same time. I end up slurring my speech and my fingers get confused as my brain is trying to wrestle with two completely different rhythms and melodies. Geddy Lee (and the few other people who are good at simultaneous bass and singing) are either wired differently or somehow train their brains to do multi-thread processing!

My high school as well even earlier than 1972. And a yearbook has RUSH bass player Jeff Jones before Geddy replaced him.

Amazing part about Rush, they figured out how to play all their songs as recorded on the albums in a live setting without adding touring musicians, so they are up there playing their usual instruments, Geddy has a pedal synth so he’s playing 2 instruments at once AND singing (and standing on one foot), and all three of them had gear to trigger samplers to add in anything they couldn’t play without having 8 arms and legs.

After that, I saw them with my brother every time they played in Philadelphia until their final tour, the R40 tour, in 2015. Geddy's vocal range dropped over the years, but their musicianship never wavered one bit. Absolute fucking legends.

It's a little tougher for him live what with singing and all but from his recordings the dude is a seriously tight player and his technique is certainly a big part of his sound.

Glad to see a Clockwork Angels tune getting some love. That album deserves more attention and credit. In his memoir, Geddy personally ranked CWA as another one of Rush's apotheoses, right next to 2112, Moving Picture, and Power Windows. I recently revisited the album and fell in love with basically every song all over again. CWA, as Geddy described in his book, was really the peak of Rush's return to their heavy rock sound that had started with Counterparts. I have to agree with the bass God himself! Btw I am 27 years old. Young people still love this band!!! Long live Rush.

This is surreal: Last week, after Geddy was nominated "the greatest bassist of all time" in the MusicRadar poll, I scanned the Thomann website and YT for a channel email address to send in a suggestion that this could be a good excuse to do a top-5 on Rush. Thanks for doing it anyway! I would've suggested "Turn The Page", the verse bassline is really cool and at least you wouldn't need to sing on top of it... The verse of "Alien shore" is also great. As for me, I've used "Distant Early Warning" for warm-up... a lot. :-)

And "Hemipheres" of course, The power of bass in La Vila , Free Will, @mikko rinne mentioned Turn the page. Open secrets, and than I forget 100 or more ;-) .

Wowo, I never realized how much I'm listening to the bassline in Big Money. Thanks

Xanadu, Necromancer, Anthem, Distant Early Warning, there are so many, I could go on & on.

Xanadu! It's my favourite, just so many good basslines in one song

@@christmas83 Yeah, that's why it came to my mind first I think, & they're somehow unique from each other, despite coming from the same song.

Love this huge respect: Geddy's right hand technique is phenomenal. YYZ still challenges me after 40 years of playing.

There's so many but: Alien Shore, Grand Designs, How It Is, Chain Lightning, and The Body Electric, all have underrated bass lines.

Thank you for helping me to understand why I love all of these songs from the BASS perspective, Between The Wheels from R30 live & The Body Electric song from Clockwork Angels tour live

Big money and YYZ were on point.. missed some of the real top bass lines like the solo in La Villa Strangiato, Geddy slaying it behind Lifesons solo in Freewill, and of course Digital Man.... all golden, well pronounced bass parts
@mightyV4443 жыл бұрын
Yes, 'Freewill' is amazing! Another great example of Geddy slaying it behind Alex's solo is 'The Camera Eye'! In fact, the bass always sticks out to me more than the guitar, whenever I listen to that song! 🙂

The Trees and 2112 are two of my favorites to play on my Rick 4001 and for a newer song I enjoy Headlong Flight and The Garden. Keep Rocking!

Subdivisions had some great bass parts (when the synths weren’t blaring). Otherwise, Hemispheres was choc-full-o-awesomness from track to track (add in the odd time signatures, which made EVERYTHING more interesting).

That was fun! Thanks. Been a fan since I saw them over the New Year's holiday '74-'75 on the Fly By Night tour. And don't feel bad about not playing Big Money with a fingernail. That's a Geddy speciality. He closed a car door on his hand when he was a teenager and injured that finger. The nail on that finger now grows much thicker than his other nails. A natural pick!

Awesome stuff! I’m a drummer......and I love bass, especially Geddy. How about Subdivisions? The bass line in the chorus and the guitar solo is incredible - love to see you play it 😎
