In my 15 or so years of professional concert production, on thing I've learned above all else is that nothing clears a room faster than a bass solo.

What about Geddy Lee? Or Billy Sheehan? Victor Wooten? Jean Baudin? Larry Graham? Louis Johnson? Norwood Fisher? Flea? Les Claypool? Mick Karn?

Without having read the article, how annoying would it be if there were 50 bands named Rush and you wanted to look up one of them on youtube? 5000 pages of Rush and nothing with Neil Peart or Geddy Lee.

That was a trip and a half. Completely awesome and unexpected.

I mean, Rush were gods to me as I was growing up. Major cred's for their putting themselves out there.

Oh, and it's "Geddy Lee" if you didn't already know that...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I thought the timing was off a bit in places, and Geddy Lee has lost his range.

Also, it's great how the vocals on rock band sound NOTHING like Geddy Lee


Yeah, they're not nearly as screachy and terrible.

Sorry, Geddy gets on my nerves. I like the rest of the band, though.

If you can do that, you SHOULD be playing drums.

Seriously. I spent three fucking months looking for a drummer on campus earlier this semester before finding one because NOBODY FUCKING PLAYS THEM, and if they do, they're already in a band.

Also, it's great how the vocals on rock band sound NOTHING like Geddy Lee
edit: lol was watching the video and commented before refreshing and seeing your comment.

What a HORRID Geddy Lee impersonator.

*beg, yeah, that guy's voice was somewhat off, if it wasn't trying to be Geddy Lee, it would have been better. Like, if it was just someone completely different altogether.

Upvote for Geddy Lee!

A Geddy coat-tailer, he reminds of a muse from some glitch....a fast-burning flame.....

could used to hit these notes and did.......sooooo shitty were the sounds pouring from the car-hold....

If you're a bassist, there are not many folks more inspirational than Geddy Lee!

Gotta ask: have you ever seen Gov't Mule's "Rising Low" DVD? After their bassist, Allen Woody, died, Warren Haynes (my hero started a tribute project, during which he gathered some of the best bass players in the world together to play Allen Woody's Gov't Mule parts, as well as their own signature pieces, live and on a tribute album. The result was "The Deep End" (a 2 volume CD set) and "Rising Low" (a DVD capturing the making of the CDs, and the resulting tour): http://www.mule.net/discography/rising_low.html

Here's the list of bassists on the DVD / CDs: Allen Woody, Alphonso Johnson, Bootsy Collins, Billy Cox, Chris Squire, Chris Wood, Dave Schools, Flea, George Porter Jr., Jack Bruce, Jack Casady, Joey Arkenstat, John Entwistle, Terry Graham, Les Claypool, Meshell Ndegeocello, Mike Gordon, Mike Watt, Oteil Burbridge, Phil Lesh, Rocco Prestia, Roger Glover, Stefan Lessard, Tony Levin, Willie Weeks

hehe.. yeah that post of yours inspired me to post this as well... Geddy Lee was one of my inspirations while learning to play bass

Thanks for the additional info. I changed it to dryers.

According to Wikipedia, at some point Geddy stopped using traditional amplifiers and decided to start using other things to fill their space. In addition to dryers, he has also used a refrigerator and a vending machine, both fully stocked.

They weren't washing machines, they were coin-operated Maytag dryers. Whenever they stopped, a roadie would go out and put quarters in them to get them going again. At the end of every show, the band would take the concert T-shirts out of the dryers and toss them into the crowd.

Geddy Lee jokingly claimed that they were there to add a "warm, dry tone" to his bass (and they are miked up as if they're amplifiers), but I think they were there just to visually balance out Alex Lifeson's Wall-Of-Amps on the other side of the stage.

I know its geddy and alex but i keep coming back for this hardy hard rock wench.
