    Some folks need to understand something. Real musicians respect each other. Chris Squire would not have derided Geddy Lee as an "OK" bass player as some fans have here in the comments. Chris Squire knew Geddy Lee could play anything Chris Squire could, and vice-versa. They're both among the world's most legendary rock bassists. What makes any musician unique is how the compose, phrase, and interpret. Chris and Geddy despite both being ultra-talented bassists sounded different. They had unique styles. That's what musicians celebrate about other musicians. And yes, Chris Squire was one of Geddy Lee's strongest influences. However, that doesn't make him "less of a Chris Squire" or not unique. In short, wake up and understand that musicians don't play your "my favorite is better than your favorite" game.

    • @mikearchibald744
      @mikearchibald744 5 років тому +27

      Yeah, but critics aren't musicians usually:) Its just in fun, nobody gets hurt. Fact is that Chris is dead. The guy was definitely a unique bassist so who would you get? Les Claypool? He had just done the gig when Rush got inducted. Rush inducted them, it makes perfect sense for Geddy Lee to play. I don't think ANYBODY would say it wouldn't have been ideal to have Chris there, but he's playing bass for Hendrix.

Funny thing is, he's got this super-famous bass line going on, a dominant line at that, and he's trying his best to strike this balance of participating well but not bring attention to himself since it is Yes's night.

    Such an iconic song. What a shame the sound techs didn’t turn the bass up for them on the big stage. The guitars were way too loud and the bass was absolutely undersold. In the recording, the bass is the soul of the song.

    • @derhandtrommler
      @derhandtrommler Рік тому +4

      The bass was the product of a great man who is no longer with us. Geddy simply made sure he got the part right but let the other elements of "Roundabout" speak. Sort of the horse with no rider in a funeral cortege'.

    I was so happy when Geddy Lee performed with Yes. Granted that there's no replacing Chris Squire, who is among the best bass legends in music, but Geddy Lee absolutely did an amazing job filling in for Chris. It's almost as if Chris never left this world.
    It made total sense for Rush to induct Yes into the RRHoF. Both bands long overdue though, but glad to see them in now.

    • @gdkopinionator4356
      @gdkopinionator4356 5 років тому +2

      Chris Squire had wanted Geddy Lee to induct Yes into the RRHOF when it happened. He didn't live to see it, so after Geddy and Alex inducted them, Geddy stood in for Chris on the bandstand. They never knew each other, but they had tremendous respect for each other's work. They both had a taste for the twangy side of bass, but played in very different contexts. Squire really wove in and out of the music, while Geddy was the "left hand of the piano". By the time of this recording, Geddy Lee had invented a school of bass all on his own, based partially on the stylings of flamenco guitarists. Geddy stays largely in his style here, but playing the bass parts faithfully. He's not riding up the neck like Squire, because that was Chris' trademark. Instead he's down at the bottom, and in so doing gives Roundabout a different sound. Amazing player.
