Geddy Lee tops Gibson.com's list of the Top 10 Metal and Hard Rock Bass Players

Tue, Sep 4, 2012@1:29PM | comments

Geddy Lee with his sunburst Fender JazzGibson.com posted their list of the Top 10 Metal and Hard Rock Bass Players this morning, and Rush's Geddy Lee came in at #1. Here's what they had to say:

If the only thing Geddy Lee did in Rush was play the bass he'd be implausibly accomplished. But, he does it all while singing and playing the keyboards; a near-impossible feat. Not many frontmen have successfully juggled this triple task. Add to that the confidence that comes from playing for a long time, and Lee remains one of the genre's biggest and best players.
