OT Music: Rick Beato had Geddy Lee on for an hour
Like or dislike Rush aside that should be a great interview b/c Geddy Lee is an incredible musician.
People have no idea how much Geddy had to do live in order to make Rush work. Lifeson played guitar. Part played drums. Geddy sang, played bass, played synthesizers and played pedals,.often at the same time, while being the focal point of the band.
Truly an amazing feat live.
Anyway for anyone interested here is the interview link.
BTW, the video was posted on Tuesday and by Thursday it already had 6.5k comments. Rush fans are like Deadheads when it comes to their band.
Listened to his memoir “My Effin Life.” Worth a listen…

He covers a lot of good personal and band history. Gives insight into a number of albums and songs. If you’re a fan even casually, it’s a good read (or listen). I liked listening to it because he reads it.
I saw them once at the Palace at Auburn Hills in the early 90s. Taking my three sons to see them in Chicago this summer.
Really, really excited to see them again even without Peart (RIP).
Interesting fact about Geddy Lee

His parents were Polish Jews who survived imprisonment in Auschwitz, Dachau and Bergen-Belsen, and emigrated to Canada after the war.
“Geddy” comes from how his mother pronounced his given name, Gary.
Thanks, I'll check it out.

I love Rush and all three are/were incredible musicians. Too bad that Peart is no longer with us.
