Finally....a host who asks fun and interesting questions, and a guest who gives thoughtful and intelligent answers. Neither Dan or Geddy tries to dominate the conversation. What a breath of fresh-air waves. Spirit of Radio.
+chuckobscure personal view of course Rush always no 1 for me but, as one rock fan to another, Zep are definitely up there Geddy and Plant similar in early days - few can match their shrieks from the 70's 🎸
Rush, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, Neil Young, The Beatles, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac.... There's lots of great great bands. You go into a rabbit hole listening to Rush. Then loop back around. The only thing that Geddy pisses me off doing is saying Caress Of Steel isn't a great album. At times it's my favorite. Caress Of Steel is a journey. Raw and nothing like it up to that point. It's fantastic. Geddy needs to admit it!!!
@@Greg-io1ip Caress of Steel is a wonderful album to me too - think it failed commercially and has bad memories for the guys; love Alex’s guitar playing and love all of it, particularly the Necromancer; I have a deep love of it since I first heard it. There are a huge number of wonderful bands alright, no denying that at all and listen to a LOT Rush my no 1 though
What a great interview. Geddy Lee is the best - but Dan Patrick and his crew really made this one something unique by asking the coolest questions. That's gotta be such a relief for someone like Geddy who's answered all the usual rock'n'roller tripe a million times. Great job, guys!
Wow, long time ago, but still one of the best interviews of Geddy I’ve ever heard in MANY years. Hard to believe your answer to future Rush shows, unbeknownst to anyone, was already cast in stone. Well done Dan and Paulie. Long live Rush.
Speaking of Randy Johnson, he was at the R40 show in Buffalo. I was about 10' from him as he was snapping pictures of the show. At first I couldn't believe it was him!
Great interview Dan. Rush fans always so proud of Geddy, Alex and Neil (RIP). Also belatedly: Condolences to Geddy over losing his mom recently. She was an amazing and good mom and citizen of humanity. Just listen to Geddy if you're not sure. Follow your passions Geddy, but enjoy your free time too. You've earned it! Just stay healthy. Rush fans still need you both!!
As a Red Sox and Rush fan, you've just GOT to love that he's not only one of the best bass players playing in one of the best rock bands, but he's also a top-notch true fan.
That was fun ! Geddy is so articulate and so well versed , Dan was extremely respectful and asked some great questions, a really good interview for both.
Geddy doesn't just collect baseballs. He's got one from each of Johnny Vandermeer's back to back no-hitters. That's aggressive collecting. Well done, By-Tor.
I would venture to guess his collection is worth several million dollars. And he donated numerous signed balls to the Negro League Hall of Fame Museum in Kansas City. Geddy is a righteous dude.
Alex Lifeson has said they are probably done with big tours but are planning on doing some anniversary tour. Also, there was talk of a new album! So we will see!
Neil quit once before, so is about the only hope we have. Have read that Geddy and Alex are open for other projects, not gonna do Rush without Neil. Best Band in the Known Universe.
Out of all the interviews I did on my cable show (Megadeth, Blind Melon, WASP, King's X, Primus, Vince Neil, Brett Michaels etc.) - 'The Metal Mike Show' - I never managed to reach Rush. 😐 "sigh"
If only Dan probed Geddy about his battery mate in Arlington, Alex Lifeson, who apparently charged the mound after Geddy threw the first pitch. I wish there was video of this.
+ronleon62 Geddy is probably tired of talking music and glad to be talking baseball. Through a couple degrees of separation I have a contact with Steve Vai and I know for a fact that he's tired of talking music, with an exception being made for Frank Zappa.
+Ian Johnson I actually have always believed that Rush still has a few tunes and quite possibly one or three concerts left for their legion of fans......but.....I'm pretty sure that touring is not going to happen again. We can hold out for hope. Love The Ged Man in this interview....as always he was spot on fun! Cheers All
Ian Johnson late response. Alex said not long ago the band is done done. Neil has some health issues preventing him from playing much. But i would say its possible geddy could do another solo album. I thought my favorite headache was pretty good. Idk though his voice is so shot, he may never so it.

Every member of Rush is so articulate and well spoken. I challenge anyone to find any other band that even comes close.
Brian Adams, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, The Hip, Randy Bachman, Burton Cummins,.
And like Geddy, there all 🇨🇦.
The Beatles and yes rush have also remained very regular and real unlike say Madonna lol
Geddy's a gentleman and a member of the best band ever
Watched the Jays on TV last night; awesome 7th inning
+paul elliott Geddy is in Led Zeppelin? Hmm... never knew that. ;)
+chuckobscure personal view of course
Rush always no 1 for me but, as one rock fan to another, Zep are definitely up there

Rush my no 1 though

Two of my favorites; Geddy and Dan.

Seems like Ged should be on the show again! Lot's of things to talk about in the last 7 years.
Geddy is such a well rounded gentleman. I don't think he ever did a bad interview.
Speaking of Randy Johnson, he was at the R40 show in Buffalo. I was about 10' from him as he was snapping pictures of the show. At first I couldn't believe it was him!

Well then "working man" time machine tour satisfied. Greatest Band in the entire World!
10 bucks is 10 bucks eh? love me some Rush…..
Working Man was, indeed, the last song the band performed live together.
In my years of studying Geddy, and from this interview, I can tell that the man really likes baseball
So down to earth.
Geddy is a real class act.
What a class act.
Sadly, Dan's question about Rush touring again was answered this week.
RIP Neil Peart. The Professor and the GOAT.
@Blaire Ronzel nope, lol Rush is done.
Love Geddy-Alex would bring the comedy
He has the best collection of baseballs...incredible
Alex Lifeson has said they are probably done with big tours but are planning on doing some anniversary tour. Also, there was talk of a new album! So we will see!
They need to do "A Farewell To Touring" Tour.
Neil quit once before, so is about the only hope we have.
Have read that Geddy and Alex are open for other projects, not gonna do Rush without Neil.
Best Band in the Known Universe.
Thanks.

Meanwhile, First Take brings in bullsh*t rappers onto its show. Geddy Lee is the greatest ever, also the R40 Tour was completely mindblowing.
If only Dan probed Geddy about his battery mate in Arlington, Alex Lifeson, who apparently charged the mound after Geddy threw the first pitch. I wish there was video of this.
Screw Baseball, talk about RUSH!
+ronleon62 Geddy is probably tired of talking music and glad to be talking baseball. Through a couple degrees of separation I have a contact with Steve Vai and I know for a fact that he's tired of talking music, with an exception being made for Frank Zappa.
+awcindy Hell, hearing Steve Vai talk about his time with Zappa would be incredible.
terrific!
should've asked him about next year's tour!
\m/
Had a feeling they might be done touring
Great man - fingers crossed the Jays make it a World Series winning Autumn
Should've asked if they were planning on making another album...
+Ian Johnson Really!!!

How is it that Dan Patrick, a known player of Strat-o-matic baseball, didn't ask Geddy, another known player of Strat, about the game???
Who could hate this?
Why would this guy ask what the last song will be and spoil it for everyone?
It was a great question.
Baba Booey
Did you ever get tired of kicking so much ass as a band collectively? Fair question. Apparently not.
Apparently not, indeed! Would YOU?...
“Do you ever get tired of kicking so much ass as a band.”
A legit question. Not sure why it sounded funny to anyone…
geddy lee is not even chinese - I didn't know that
If this is a serious comment, its really funny. If its a joke, its still funny.
Given name: Gary. His mom pronounces his name with a thick accent so it sounds like 'Geddy', and it stuck.
Molto bene grazie frufru- bvf
