Geddy Lee (Rush)
“Before you vote listen to YYZ.”
“Dude Geddy Lee is way better than the rest of these artists.”
“Wow, Geddy Lee is easily better than 1/4 of those guys.”
“Geddy Lee should be at number one... above cliff burton, I mean he got inspired by Geddy Lee and Lee is just absolutely badass when it comes to bass and keyboard not to mention he is in one of the greatest rock bands EVER! RUSH!
APRIL 20TH they come to HOUSTON!”
“Geddy Lee is so much better than the chilli peppers bassiest”
“Geddy Lee has to be one if not the greatest bassist of all time to have him at #4 is almost an insult.”
“Geddy Lee is better than john paul jone cuase that guy blows”
“Flea is fast, sure, but Geddy Lee has proven his ability to play complex pieces quickly, precisely, and artistically over thirty and forty years.”
“best bassist ever-should definately be #1”
“geddy lee has the best time percision with a band... it should go... claypool... wooten... lee... flea at like 43”
“I like geddy lee as a bassist more than cliff and geddy has been playing the bass for almost 40 years”
“and one more thing. songs to listen to:
-YYZ
-Leave That Thing Alone
-The Big Money
-Vital Signs
-Force Ten
-La Villa Strangiato
heck with just songs, it's his whole style in general! geddy on the bass is like neil on the drums in my opinion”
“Geddy plays lines that blow people away. His riffs are hard to play by themselves. Throw in that he sings, plays footpads, and doesn't look... How anyone can think Geddy isn't even top three material is beyond me.”
“Both Cliff Burton and Les Claypool stated that Geddy Lee was (and still is) their inspiration.”
“I think that Geedy Lee is far the best bassist in the world, even the greatest bassist are influenced by him.
just listen to YYZ, or any rush song, and you'll understand what i'm trying to say.”
“geddy lee is in one of the top 5 bands and he is insane at bass listen to the solo in freewill I've never heard anything better”
“he is deffinantly my insparation his bass lines are so commplex that it just makes you wanna play he should bee number 1”
“Geddy lee is the best bassist of all time and that is a fact! Listen to any rush song and you will see what I am talking about.”
“Geddy lee is also a hell of a bass player because not only does he play awsome bass but he sings and plays keyboards with his feet!”
“listen to YYZ and you'll understand”
“Geddy who else can else do what else he does in timing with Neil and Alex, no band can even come close as a unit or as individuals in what these guys have done in music. Geddy is the bass bassist”
“Geddy Lee is without a doubt the best bassist ever to walk the earth....He should totally be #1!!!”
“Geddy shares #1 with Tony Levin, but i accidentally clicked to vote for Cliff who sucks ass!”
“geddy lee is amzing and it is extremly hard for somone to play and sing and if you cant see geddy as number listen to any rush just amazing”
“geddy lee taught god how to play bass”
“4 words geddy lee number 1”
“watch any of geddy's solos and you'll understand”
“I've seen half of these guys play solos live. Geddy is the best at what he does. He wouldn't be playing with Alex and Niel if he wasn't good enough. Plus, he sings while he plays some crazy stuff. I love Flea and Claypool, but Geddy is just astounding.”
“As if anyone compares with this guy”
“awsome!!! top of the list!!!”
“Geddy Lee is amazing. Rush is a great band because they play just softly enough to hear the bass.”
“Geddy Lee rules his instrument and rock. No one else even comes close.”
“he's an incredible bassist, plus he sings and play keyboards with his feet”
“any song is nasty bass... especially yz, free will, tom sawyer; to name a few. he also sings and plays the keyboard.
hands down the most talented band ever”
“apart of being the best bassist of all, he influenced bassist of this list, like les claypool and cliff burton...”
“The most dynamic Bassist I know of. No other bassist plays what he plays while singing different melodys and alternate timing?
”
“you can be as influencial as you want, but geddy has the die-hard raw talent that beats any other bassist. YYZ, La Villa Strangiato, Leave That Thing Alone, and pretty much any of their other songs.”
“i just want to speak clearly. geddy lee is the best bassist ever. he may not play what tennagers like, but if you listen and analize his music (yyz, leave that thing alone are just examples) you'll see that waht im saying is completely true.
note: he also sings and play synth with his feet while playing bass”
“way better than anyone ahead of him in this list
”
“Geddy Lee makes the bass ROLL in a way i've never heard, except for maybe les.
All true musicians, will hear and appreciate this.”
“this guy sings plays bass guitar and is rated in the top 100 rock keyboardists of all time I'd like to see any other bassists do that and play bass as well as he does”
“Geddy lee is by far the best bassist I've ever seen. He can sing, play keyboards and play the best bass ever. He definitely deserves to be first.”
“ok
geddy lee should be way higher in this lineup, he is no doubt one of the best. At least number 3”
“geddy lee is the best! he deserves more than this! I own all rush cds, and I have to say that geddy's bass playing is AWESOME! listen to yz and see what I mean!”
“Listen to just about any Rush song and you'd understand, his skill is unsurpassed, his speed is on top and his musical style is amazing! As the others say, listen to YYZ, or even Malignant Narcissism or any other.”
“I just have to say that anyone who can play a bass this good as well as multiple other gadgets and instruments should be #1 bassist of all time, not to mention singing with all that.”
“Ask todays bassists who influenced them the most bet you money that they say Geddy Lee, actually ask some of the artists ranked above him, they'll probably say him to.”
“no matter if it is YYZ, Tom Sawyer, Far Cry, or any other rush song, Geddy will ALWAYS please crowds. He doesn't influence me, Geddy creates a pathway for me to follow.”
“Singing and bass rhythms such as his deserve better. Not to mention handling bass, keyboards, and singing all at the same time.”
“he's awesome”
“He plays insane bass AND sings at the same time. Flea has NOTHING on Geddy Lee.”
“No one can break down a bass like Geddy.”
“Geddy Lee rocks if you don't agree listen to Yyz!”
“Geddy was the Bass Teacher for many on this list. And he sings while playing. And he plays keyboard, when Alex lets him. Geddy is the modern bass guitar!”
“I have to say his bass part in yz was amazing he should be number 1”
“Singing while playing bass and keyboard. Pure talent!”
“Geddy belongs in the top 5.”
“geddy lee is amazing at bass guitar, considering he plays synthesizer as well, and his part in YYZ was excellent. get "Toshiya"(wtf) "P-nut"(?) and "Tetsuya Ogawa"(is that asian or something?) outta the top ten and put flea, cliff, les, and john in the top 5...”
“I'm not here to slag the others off, but we all know Geddy is 'king of the 4 string' and I should know because out of my 2 influences in the last 25 years I've been playing, Geddy comes tops and for me to say that over Mark King (my other influence) takes a lot of doing, it would be immense to have that 2 onstage together or create a genetic hybrid of both combined... AWESOME!”
“dude hear yz the bass line is kick ass”
“Geddy Lee is an amazing bass player! the way that he plays scales behind those powerful rush licks is phenominal! His ability to mix jazz and slap bass into modern rock is probably the best thing about Rush. Geddy Lee is amazing and if I had this list my way he'd be right up at the top probably with with Mark King and Chris Squire from Yes. Chris Squire's lick in Roundabout is almost as great as a Geddy Lee line.
Geddy Lee is probably the best bass player of all time despite what an unpublished internet website may tell you.”
