Coming in December: Geddy Lee’s Big Beautiful Book Of Bass, a lavishly illustrated book by the Rush bassist about the history of the instrument. Geddy Lee also interviewed fellow bassists John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Adam Clayton (U2), Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Bill Wyman (The Rolling Stones), Les Claypool (Primus) and Bob Daisley (Black Sabbath, Rainbow). The book is available for preorder via Harper Collins.
Geddy Lee talked to Paste. He sheds some light on the state of Rush. After they wrapped up the R40 tour rumours started flying that the band is finished, because drummer Neil Peart has said that won't he hitting the road again.
Its intention was not a farewell tour; its intention was a look back and a celebration of 40 years of music. We happen to find ourselves in a very differing state of mind in terms of doing major tours. Neil is not up for the kind of work that it takes for him to be ready to put out a three-hour show the way we have for the last 20-odd years. So his interest in this kind of touring has dwindled. And that’s sort of where we’re at. It doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t do another record together, and it doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t play another concert together — it just means that for the moment we cannot agree on doing a big tour.
