Rushin Geddy Lee nimesi 10 suosikkibasistiaan
Kanadalaisen progressiivisen rockin legenda Rushin nokkamies Geddy Lee paljasti Rolling Stone -lehdelle omat lempibasistinsa. Lee kertoo haastattelussa, että basistina oloa pidetään nykyään siistinä, mutta että ennen asiat olivat toisin. Lee kertoo, ettei kukaan halunnut olla vapaaehtoisesti basisti, ja että hänetkin alun perin äänestettiin kyseiseen pestiin.
”The 50 Greatest Bassist Of All Time” -listauksessa Geddy Lee ylsi itse sijalle 24. Leen oma lista hänen suosikkibasisteistaan satunnaisessa järjestyksessä:

“Back in my day, nobody chose to be the bass player. You were always a guitarist, and somebody said, ‘Well, we need a bass player,’ so they had a vote and you became the bass player. That’s how I became a bass player: I was voted in. I think that was pretty common for the period, because everybody wanted to be Jimi Hendrix; everybody wanted to be Eric Clapton; everybody wanted to be Jimmy Page.
I adapted to it very quickly and really loved it. And I think that’s what happens with most of these great bass players. Now, of course, it’s cool to be a bass player, but it wasn’t always.”
