What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high?

[oustemnow]

I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

1. I know him, and he does.

[AlienGirl]

3. How often do you talk to him?

Could you relay a message for me if I asked nicely?

4. No, it's just the next line in the song he's quoting.

I don't know Geddy Lee. The nearest I get to fame is the occasional bass player from Belle and Sebastian and one of the guys from Chixdiggit.

9. Chixdiggit! Are they still together?

The only album I have by them is the one with "Henry Rollins Is No Fun" on it, but I do love that album. Live they were (are?) a gas too.

5. Well you're my fact checkin' cuz. n/t

[oustemnow]

7. and you're my fact-checking cuz

For some reason, this song has taken over a large portion of my brain for the past few days. I guess it's because I've been on a huge Pavement kick since I picked up the Slow Century DVD last week.

2. I saw them on tour last year and every twenty minutes or so

Alex Lifeson would kick Geddy in the nuts.

10. sounds about like Lerxst!

:D

6. I really love his voice.

When he spoke during concerts he sounded pretty normal. Perhaps a bit high, but not nearly as high as he sings. Does anyone else hear just love his voice though? I am tired of talking to all these people that hate it...

[frogbison]

8. RUSH!

:0)

Geddy Lee puts in his third....

[Syrinx]

11. I like his voice

He doesn't get nearly as high these days.

And his voice is a little lower too. <bada bing>

[tarkus]

12. "High Point" of "Free Will"

Yeah, One place in particular that I noticed that his voice was getting lower was the incredibly high note after the guitar solo in "Free Will", when he says "Each of us... A cell of awareness...". The word "Cell" is rediculously high in that line on the album, whereas live it is only fairly high.

[GingerSnaps]

13. His voice drives me nuts

:silly:
