Geddy Lee
How would you go about standing out in the most technically proficient band of the 1970's? Well if your name is Geddy Lee then you simply cement yourself as one of the most talented and unique multi-instrumentalists in rock history, Using god-like bass playing, incredibly catchy and ground-breaking moog parts in rock, the most unique and instantly recognizable rock voice in history, and a stage presence that seems out of place for a guy that reminds you of your high school librarian. This is exactly how Geddy Lee accomplished such a feat. Widely regarded as one of the most influencial bassists, unique vocalists, and versatile multi-instrumentalists, Geddy Lee has gained acclaim from just about every angle. Most widely renowned for his bass playing, Geddy Lee has spent 35 years playing amazing bass riffs under one of the most underrated guitarists of all time, Alex Lifeson, and over one of the greatest drummers of all time. His basslines under Lifeson's solo's can often be mistaken as his own bass solos, but never take away and always adds an unspeakable amount of dynamics to any song. His mind blowing basslines fill all of Rush's classics beautifully and never fail to impress. While his studio performances remain the most recognized and well documented, Geddy's live work was always top-notch and his stage presence was/is a force to be reckoned with, and while he never hesitated to give up the stage to his counterparts solo's he maintained his presence even whilst in the background. Cheers to one of the greatest. A true Icon.
