"Nobody becomes the bass player willingly." At the time, I'm sure that was more true. Now, because of guys like Geddy, people are choosing the bass. He's contributed big time to the popularity of the instrument.

Back in the 70's I purchased a double neck 6/12 Ibanez SG thingy at Steve's in Montreal and brought it home. I was visiting the band that opened for Rush in London at the London Arena with that double neck. As Geddy went by the dressing room, he caught sight of it, and asked to play it. I said "sure". He picked it up, and played the 12 string side, and did the chorus of Freddie and the Dreamer's "I'm Telling You Now" and laughed. Then he handed it back to me, saying these words: "I think we should get a couple of these." -and sure enough, they did. Cool memories. Great guy. He deserves every success that came his way.

Geddy, I'm 50 years old, I've been a Rush fan for around 37 years, I have a job, a family, and I own my own home. Nevertheless - would you adopt me and read me stories?

I often wonder if Geddy realizes that most players from my generation not only played ( chose) Bass because of him but also consider him the Absolute best of the best?!? Then when you here him speak you also realize how great of a human he is. WOW!!! 🎵🙏🎶🎸

Always a pleasure to hear such a humble person who lived an extraordinary life. The guy is THE model of a rock star.

Best interview I ever saw with a member of Rush. No stupid gotcha questions and lengthy. Thank you for the great years Geddy! Your fans including me love and respect all 3 of you and wish you all the best! RUSH WILL ALWAYS RULE!

It’s a pity that Geddy couldn’t interview John Entwistle - he had a sound in his head and pushed instrument manufacturers hard in his quest for it. He’s the reason bassists play roundwound strings today: he went to a piano string maker and got them to design strings for his bass.

Possibly the best interview I've ever hear with a rock story. Geddy Lee is some one very special. Dont' miss this.

The reason I picked up a bass... willingly.

Such a class act and wonderful person, not to mention the bass playing and gear collection. The interview Dan Rather did was equally awesome. Geddy has always been my hero. He never disappoints.

Bytor and the Snowdog made me fall in love with Geddy's playing. A very intelligent and talented musician. I so miss the days where the best bands were decided because of the musicians within.

Geddy Lee, what a truly wonderful and inspiring human being. When I heard my first Rush song I fell in love with the band immediately! The extremely powerful lyrics,( God Bless you Neil, I miss you like a brother) the fantastic melodies and of course the genius on the bass, Geddy Lee. You made me want to learn the bass and I'm truly grateful for you for that. As anyone who really truly knows Geddy, the truly remarkable story is that of how his parents met. They met and fell in love in Auschwitz during the second world war. Thank God they survived and brought such a wonderful person into the world! Geddy, there not enough words to describe how truly amazing you are. Keep playing, FOREVER, your truly grateful, ever listening fan, Mick Raisbeck.

I'll tell ya, at 7:41 that bass run in La Villa Strangiato has got to be one of the best in that man's repertoire...I've heard it so many times, true, but it's so catchy, funky and tasty -- all in one -- every single time I hear it...never gets old. Incredible placement and playing...
