@lisaandarron It's still a very well-written and well-played section. I doubt you could play with half the attack Geddy has. The only people who equal Geddy for attack are Alex Webster, Steve Harris, and John Entwistle, and the latter is dead!
@lisaandarron Does it matter whether you can play this or not? I can play most of Geddy's studio and live stuff. Does this mean these stuff arn't awesome?
And hat solo is actually a little cool break from a song called Driven. But does he need to play 16ths or slap to make it sound awesome? No. It's awesome because it sounds like that.
Watch Cliff Barton's solos; his stuff arn't hard as well, if you get the idea. But these stuff are still awesome.
lol...yes i have, hence the comment...when they're on rockline, it's like every caller is, to them, both mentally challenged and offensive at the same time...no big deal, they can do what they want, they're rock gods...
As amazing as Geddy is at bass, what impresses me more is his ability to multitask. He could probably play that solo, play keyboards, and sing the melody to Tom Sawyer all at the same time.
Classic Geddy, gnarly as hell! Fender Jazz Bass with Rotosound Swing Bass 66 roundwound strings, run through a Tech21 Sansamp RBI rack unit and a Palmer Speaker Simulator. Killer gear, killer tone, killer player!
@throwsand I disagree with you, it's amazing because how it's written. and how it sounds. not because it's not hard to play. you probably think it can only be amazing if it's a difficult piece to play. Playing a hard complicated may be tough and lots of musicans do it to show case their talent but these guys have been there and done that and only care about one thing now, how it sounds. it can be tough to play and still sound like crap.
Some of these commenters are really stupid. Someone says Slappin Da Bass and everyone jumps on him saying he's not slappin. Well fuckin duh! We can see that but I guess many have not seen Rush in thier cameo in the great comedy I Love You Man. Then they would get the inside joke:-(
SINCE '96 GED HAS NOT USED BASS AMPS ON STAGE HE PREFERS TO PLUG INTO THE VENUE CONSOLE. SO YEARS AGO TO FILL EMPTY CABINET SPACE HE HAS USED WASHING MACHINES, A FRIDGE, A FULLY STOCKED VENDING MACHINE, ON TIME MACHINE TOUR A SAUSAGE GRINDER CHURNING OUT LINKS DURING SHOW AND THE BEST ONE OF ALL ON SNAKES AND ARROWS TOUR 3 GIANT ROTISSEREE OVENS WITH A CHEF ON STAGE COOKIN CHICKEN! LOL. HE HAS A HILLARIOUS SENSE OF HUMOR. ALL 3 NEVER TAKE THEMSELVES SERIOUSLY.
Facts are facts...Kris Noveselic from Nirvana was light years ahead of Geddy, Claypool, etc...Plus the bassist from offspring and Korn are at the top of the list too.
fuck flea, cliff burton, john enwistle, all bass players. exept victor wooten, geddy lee and les claypool. geddy lee is the real deal, sturoc 0 not tryin to be mean but i guess u have no idea what your talkin about, an no its not geddypool fleawistle or geddy fleapool, its fuckin geddy lee, respect it, an love it.
@spookman117 indeed he was, your right. i want to say, that i take back wat i said about fuck all bass players, sorry people. an sorry to you, but if u understand my point, theres to much people out there that dont like geddy lee, an it tics me off if you know wat i mean, you dont have to like him, but dont talk bad about him, i love geddy. its like me an him are best friends, but dont know each other. im a bass player an ill tell ya this is a real hard bass solo.
@TheBunny602 Dude... everything you just said in this comment.... has made every youtube user 10% dumber...funny how ALL of the guys you said "fuck" too... are all in fact better than Geddy Lee... now if you like listening to him more than the others go ahead... but saying fuck them and that he is the real deal... HAHAHAHAHAHAH :) you:(
@clix411 ah dood read my other comment i apologized about that. fuck fuck fuckity fuck i will say it matter if you like it or not. and also we all are fucking idiots like it or not, that means me and you are idiots get it. and fuck you punk.
@beeroosterm Ged's using a DI box (so no amps), and they needed something to fill the space where the amp stacks would normally go. Every tour there's a new WTF item there - vending machines and clothes dryers being two of them.
@cursedswordsman Yes, there is, the main PA system. The bass is plugged into the DI box (which simulates the sound of the amp+speakers) and then that goes into the mixing board along with the mics, keyboards, drum mics, and guitar amp mics.
@ischmidt The DI does not simulate amps / speakers, It takes the instruments Hi-Z signal output and converts it to a Lo-Z balanced signal. As preferred by the player and or engineer It can be used by itself and the musician monitors thru the wedges or In-Ear system or in conjunction with a backline rig. On certain gear it is hard wired within the preamp circuitry that emulates particular rigs.BUT does not do that job on its own. There are few that have speaker emulation, not very good,
to add : the output from the DI box then goes on either direct or thru further preamp amplification to the stage box at monitor position and split there for feeds into the monitor desk and to the FOH position for the mains.
@beeroosterm bro, reason why with the washing machines an other weird stuff. is because rush is trying to say is that they bring large amount of energy when they go on stage.
@F8H Portnoy does it when ever he makes a mistake. Oddly enough, he's the only person who notices the mistake until he hits his head. Not sure why Geddy did it.
Lee, Squire, Levin .... I like the RHCP but Fleas riffs to me are just pop rock that is based with structure from both sides. I like bassists that really drive me with their tone and playing like Ged or Squire.
Funny how people fight over who is a better bassist (Or drummer. Or guitarist. And so on). The solo in this clip is good. Lee is enjoying himself, and the audience likes it too. So it succeeds on all levels. As for who's better, I think Simmons is a so-so bassist, but he's right for what he does; this makes him good. My own fave is John Entwistle. But there is no actual best, only favorites. And Geddy Lee is a great bassist. And this is a great bass solo.
very cool solo,ive been listening to rush and playing a couple of there songs like yyz,do they have any other good bass songs anyone,please comment coz i wanna learn
@wilkesybassplayer Pretty much every song they ever made is good to learn and fun to play :P I would go with Malignant Narcissism for a strong, "bass-y" challenge.
@wilkesybassplayer the song hemispheres, marathon, territories and practice leave that thing alone live same with driven, the both have bass solos. buy different stages CD live. great CD and great for practicing bass, guitar and drums. also practice limbo, carve away the stone, the big money, malignant narcissism, spin drift, hole song 2112, lessons, vital signs, tom sawyer, open secrets and prime mover. just helpin you out man, i practice these songs on bass too. : )
@rafaelb1026 I love me some KC and i agree, but all prog rock has that bit in the mid. KC utilized a Ashbory bass which is a very small bass with rubber strings. It has the coolest tone on some of those KC songs makes me wana buy one.
I wish you would change the title of this video. He's only playing simple bass lines to a song. If you want to see Geddy at his best, watch any of the Time Machine Tour videos of Working Man, Leave That Thing Alone, Freewill, La Villa Strangiato, Far Cry, and I could go on. And one more thing. Geddy isn't the fastest, but he sure as hell is the most melodic.
MY GOD PEOPLE, GET OUT MORE!!! IF YOU THINK GEDDY IS THE BEST BASS PLAYER EVER....WELL....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@TheBlackshirtHusker Im just shocked at how many people do agree haha And you took Mr. Vic out of my mouth :D Hands down all time best bass player that I know of at this juncture in time!!! And I saw him here in Meridian, MS AND got to shake hands as well as hug his neck. Got a picture and JH as well, man that was nearly a religioius experience!!!!
Somebody told me some guy Jaco Pastorious was the best bass player but I didn't understand the music that he played so that's why Rudy Sarzo is the best ever
Sorry lads, but as much as I am a die-hard fan of Rush, a bass player, (even own a Rick...) and worship the ground he walks on, this is far from an "amazing" bass solo...
Just listen to Circumstances - there's your bass solo....
Funny thing is that Gene Simmons is a Rush fan and Rush toured with Kiss back in the 70s. Sure Geddy is more of a musician than Gene, but no need to hate. Gene loves putting on a show, focuses on singing and has a knack for marketing. Geddy loves being a bassist above all else.
@MikeMars23 LOL, seriously? Look up "gene simmons bass solo" on here, listen to any one of them and then tell me if you still think Gene is a "really good musician."
@sebadrum16 ..."Roundabout" is good..."I'm Running" is better...Geddy may have been inspired by Squire, but has easily surpassed him as Bass Master! James Jamerson was better...check the bassline on Stevie Wonder's "I was made to love her"....do you even PLAY the Bass????
@sebadrum16 ..."Roundabout" is good..."I'm Running" is better...Geddy may have been inspired by Squire, but has easily surpassed him as Bass Master! James Jamerson was better...check the bassline on Stevie Wonder's "I was made to love her"....do you even PLAY the Bass????
Gene is good for KISS! He is self taught, and is far more wealthy than alot of bassist in my area, that can smoke him! That's not the point. Gene is underrated! Geddy Lee is an alien!!
@acebailey60 Are you fucking kidding? Money is completely irrelelvant to musical talent, or real music for that matter. It doesn't matter if a musician is self-taught or took lessons, all that matters is their skill, something that anything with the most basic musical knowledge will realise that that greedy fuck Gene Simmons lacks.

Funny thing is that Gene Simmons is a Rush fan and Rush toured with Kiss back in the 70s. Sure Geddy is more of a musician than Gene, but no need to hate. Gene loves putting on a show, focuses on singing and has a knack for marketing. Geddy loves being a bassist above all else.

@RCAvhstape Gene has so much respect for Rush, it's insane.

@MikeMars23 LOL, seriously? Look up "gene simmons bass solo" on here, listen to any one of them and then tell me if you still think Gene is a "really good musician."

sebadrum16 3 months ago
@sebadrum16 ..."Roundabout" is good..."I'm Running" is better...Geddy may have been inspired by Squire, but has easily surpassed him as Bass Master! James Jamerson was better...check the bassline on Stevie Wonder's "I was made to love her"....do you even PLAY the Bass????

Gene is good for KISS! He is self taught, and is far more wealthy than alot of bassist in my area, that can smoke him! That's not the point. Gene is underrated! Geddy Lee is an alien!!

@acebailey60 Are you fucking kidding? Money is completely irrelelvant to musical talent, or real music for that matter. It doesn't matter if a musician is self-taught or took lessons, all that matters is their skill, something that anything with the most basic musical knowledge will realise that that greedy fuck Gene Simmons lacks.
