The Singers Talk

Geddy Lee


Listen Later

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Geddy Lee from Rush.

 

Have you ever tried to sing with blood gushing from your nose, down your face, in front of 20,00 people? Well, Geddy’s gonna tell you all about it. In this episode you’re gonna hear us break down what it takes to be the guy who had the Herculean task of playing all those insane bass parts, while singing all demanding vocals, plus memorizing all the lyrics written by Neil Peart. We speak about how Geddy and the band meticulously prepared for shows, how he became a full blown germaphobe, how he survived all those nights on the road playing three hours sets, how his voice has changed throughout the years, the importance of what key you’re singing in… and how it felt to say goodbye to the band and their fans on the night of their final show as Rush. All that and much more…
