I just watched the first episode of Geddy Lee’s TV show, called Geddy Lee Asks: Are Bass Players Human Too?
I freakin’ loved it!
It was about 20 minutes of Geddy and Les Claypool of Primus just hanging out. The two of them are just plain goofy and it was kinda delightful.
I’ll admit that when Geddy was reading from a script he didn’t sound particularly… professional. It’s clear that reading copy is not something that he generally does. When he and Claypool were just talking to each other it felt natural and… I’ll say it again, delightfully goofy.
There are three episodes left. One is the new guy in Metallica, one is (I think) a former member of Hole, and the third is some guy who used to be in some band called Nirvana or something.
I’m looking forward to all of them. I now need to know, are bass players human too?
@robertjames1971.blog I may have to subscribe to Paramount+ just for this. Glad to hear it’s entertaining. Thanks for the write up.

When it comes to generating rhythm, it’s all about that bass.
