Rush singer/bassist, memoirist and Murdoch Mysteries scene-stealer Geddy Lee has questions. Well, one in particular: do bassists qualify as actual humans?
This question has haunted him to the degree that most existential quandaries aren't able to reach, with the musician set to explore it in a new Paramount+ docuseries. The four-part series, aptly Geddy Lee Asks: Are Bass Players Human Too?, hits the streaming service on December 5, and features in-depth conversations between Lee and fellow low-end frequency forebears Nirvana's Krist Novoselic, Metallica's Rob Trujillo, Hole/Smashing Pumpkins' Melissa Auf der Maur and Primus's Les Claypool.
"I'm trying to show the world that a bass player can do many things," Lee explains in the trailer. "Join me as I travel to the homes of four bass legends and dive deep into their lives. And their inspirations." The clip sees him surfing with Trujillo, canning tomatoes with Novoselic, flying a plane with Claypool, and walking in the woods with Auf der Maur, among other activities — including, of course, fingering some sweet licks.
