·Don’t watch this
I just found it interesting he played an 8th of a note late to make sure he was on the right chord it made it to the album I never noticed. Ha ha classic. Sometimes when I’m playing something new I’ll do stuff like that

·With 1.5 billion in the bank and being 85 years old. I guess he still writes music because it’s in him

·No video but I always thought geddy Lee was one of the more creative bass players in rock. I see he’s playin the “new” Rick instead of the 4001.
I like the rickenbacker has some funky tones. He also kinda brought the steinburger to the forefront. Although on a video someone at the show sent me he was playing a fender and double neck.
Geddy can play whatever he wants. Him playing key board and bass was just mindblowing.
Anyway cool shot of geddys bass I like the color scheme. Damn makes me feel weird about switching to guitar as Geddy was one of the Bass players who got me into the bass.

I met Geddy for about 9.5 seconds when he signed my copy of his Big Book of Bass back in 2018 or 19. (Sure, I'm a drummer but are you kidding me? Miss the opportunity to join my bass player colleague at a Geddy Lee book signing? Fack no!) You haven't much time to connect and rather than the usual platitudes etc., I told him how much I appreciated that he always remained a mensch throughout his career. He smiled widely and fist bumped me. A mensch.
But it's Rick Beato's chat with Anika that really sparkles. She's adorably humble; quietly confident yet self-deprecatingly honest. Imagine: being far and away the most talked about - and scrutinized - musician on earth this week. She's been everywhere in the music media lately and deservedly so. She assumed control of Rock's most coveted and arguably most difficult drum chair - with grace and huge talent.
As a drummer who has played for over 50 years (and owes Neil's estate plenty of royalties for 'borrowed' ideas), I can honestly say she was the absolutely best choice the boys could have made. And she is just killing it.

·In his recent interview with each member of Rush, Rick Beato's wonderful chat with Geddy touches upon his love for Rickenbackers (Chris Squire had plenty to do with it) and how he finally got the one of his dreams once the boys received their first advance back in the 1970's.

·You got me thinkin. This is Anika’s debut with rush. I should have put at least that up to be fair as I agree with your take on her. Seems like the perfect choice and what a thrill it must be for her.
I don’t know Anika, of course, but am beyond thrilled for her. I have followed her for years and actually use one of her warmups before gigs! She not only nailed Tom Sawyer, but La Villa Strangiato from Hemispheres, a 9:30 monster of a cut that nearly killed the guys when recorded in 1977/78. They were 26 then. She’s 43!
