Geddy Lee Archives - Page 10

Alfred Music Publishing has just published Rush: Clockwork Angels for both bass and guitar, as part of their Authentic Bass TAB series. The 108 page book includes the tab for all of Geddy Lee’s bass lines from the Clockwork Angels – the album released in June of this year, as well as complete lyrics and full color artwork (view sample...

Hot on the heels of the release of Clockwork Angels, Rush has extended their tour schedule into 2013 with the announcement of some European tour dates. The new album was the band’s first studio effort in five years, and entered the SoundScan/Billboard 200 chart at #2, which matched their highest chart debut in the trio’s 38 year history. The album...

Rush’s new label, Road Runner Records, recently interviewed bassist Geddy Lee to coincide with the trio’s latest album, Clockwork Angels. Geddy shares the story behind the album, his thoughts on the band’s Time Machine tour, writing music and breaking through as a musician. I was surprised to hear Geddy share that he had some real breakthroughs as a musician on...

Hot on the heels of the release of Clockwork Angels, Rush’s 20th studio album, comes the first glimpse at the album’s companion novel, Clockwork Angels: The Novel. Author Kevin J. Anderson, who is collaborating with Rush drummer Neil Peart, posted news on his blog that a sneak peek booklet for the book has been released as a free download. The...

We first reported Rush’s announcement for Clockwork Angels a little over two years ago. At that time, the band released two songs to radio stations and as digital downloads before hitting the road for their “Time Machine” tour in 2010 and 2011, where they performed both tunes live each night. The trio completed the album after the tour was completed....

The guys from Rush are so cool. In addition to their amazing musicianship, they’re really funny. And pretty good actors. This of course comes from the band’s Time Machine 2011 – Live in Cleveland DVD. We may be partial, but we like Geddy Lee’s character best.

Man, this has been a long time coming. Rush’s highly anticpated 20th studio album, Clockwork Angels will be released on June 12th (available for pre-order on CD and vinyl). The trio has just announced their tour dates in support of the new album, with stops in 33 cities in the U.S. and Canada, beginning in September. Clockwork Angels is the...

Rush’s “YYZ” is one of the greatest bass lines of all time. Recorded in late 1980 and released on “Moving Pictures,” this tune has been a favorite among bassists for years, and one Rush consistently performs in concert. And now, we can enjoy the isolated bass of Geddy Lee.

Do you ever listen to music from your early years and get transformed back to that time? This video does that for me, and I’m betting it does for a lot of No Treble readers. This is Rush performing the medley of “By-Tor & the Snow Dog”, “In the End”, “In the Mood” and “2112 Finale”. This is of course...

Rush may be overlooked in the U.S. by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but their home country isn’t making the same mistake. The long-time power trio has won a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, the most prestigious award in Canada, awarded for outstanding work within the arts for 20 years or more. Each award winner receives $25,000 from...

During our down time (is there such a thing?) during the holiday week, the No Treble crew decided to put up a petition site for Rush, calling out the epic failure on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s part to keep them out. Well, they didn’t nickname me “Instigator” for nothing. Thanks to some help from our good friends...

Rush is having one busy November. Following the release of Time Machine 2011 – Live in Cleveland, the trio of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart are reissuing their first fifteen albums from their 14-year run with Mercury Records. Sectors is broken down into three separate six-disc box sets, each including five CDs in release order, with a bonus...
