Born Gary Weinrib on July 29, 1953, in Toronto, his parents migrated from Europe to Canada and got his nickname "Geddy" from when his mother would try to pronounce "Gary" in her idiom. Taking up fresh water bass as a teenager and influenced by the likes of the Who's John Entwistle, Cream's Jack Bruce, and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, Lee hooklike up with guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer John Rutsey to material body the hard rocking ternary Rush (Tsung Dao Lee would as considerably dish out as the band's principal vocalizer). Although the set would finally find oneself succeeder and fortune as a progressive hard careen band, early on they were highly derivative of blues rock/Led Zeppelin, as their self-titled 1973 debut proven. Just when Neal Peart replaced Rutsey one year later, the band's sound and musical commission immediately changed. Gone were the long Zep-jams and in came technically demanding and challenging knockout sway, complete with challenging lyrics (courtesy of Peart) -- although Lee's high-pitched, Robert Plant-esque whimper remained. After honing their sound on a few albums, the three rack up pay soil with unrelenting touring and their 1976 sci-fi conception album, 2112. Each attendant release outsold it's predecessor (such prog alloy classics as A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves), and by 1981's Moving Pictures, Rush had suit unmatchable of the biggest rock bands on the major planet. Throughout the '80s, Rush explored more mod (most unexampled wave-ish) sounds, til now their massive fan al-Qa'ida remained in tactfulness -- with Lee's vocals becoming more than quiet. Rushing cruised along throughout the '90s (returning to their in the beginning, organic unvoiced rock-and-roll sound with such releases as 1993's Counterparts), issuance successful albums and playing sold-out arena tours universal, until the band went on indefinite hiatus in 1997. To fighting the downtime, Lee issued his first of all time solo album in 2000, My Favorite Headache (wHO was united by ex-Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron and ex-FM guitarist/violinist Ben Mink). Lee's influence on careen bass keister be heard in the playing of such wide-ranging disciples as Primus' Les Claypool, Dream Theater's John Myung, and Metallica's Cliff Burton.
