Eel Yddeg Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Overall, I like Geddy's voice in 2 flavors.1. In "Banshee wail" mode, as shown on songs like 2112 or Cygnus X-1.2. His softer approaches, like Tears, Acoustic Resist, and The Sphere: A Kind of Dream (Ending of Hemispheres) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootruss Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I love when Geddy's vocalizations get typed out! tongue.gif And, holy cow, yes to 'Cygnus X-1'. My favourite part is just before the 'nerve' part: "Like a spiral sea, unending". I love how enormously loud, urgent, and shrieky he is here!The highest note GED sings.. Top f# I believe, is right there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony R Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I tolerate his vocals but objectively they're not great overall. That said I've defended him to the hilt over the years.The important thing is that without the Lee vocals Rush wouldn't be Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top f# I believe, is right there!That note is actually a high A (A5). He hits that same note in Anthem ("WROOOOOUGHT"), Battle Scar, and Finding My Way. However, the "TORRRN APAAAAAAART" note is 1 step higher, reaching high Bb (Bb5). He also hits a B5 in the Fresno version in 1977. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootruss Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 So what is his true range, let's say then as opposed to now, I guess the lowest notes he sang were in 'the trees'(trouble with the trees)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 His range now is about 5 notes, and not all in a row. ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Of course, we love his voice, and his range and all that ... But it is the guy who is singing it that makes it all so fantastic .. My spirits are low in the depths of despair, my lifeblood, spills ooooooooover Imagine other singers performing that - Jon Anderson ?? Love him, but that line will come across completely wrong How about the guy from Kansas ? .. what's his name, Walsh ?? .. If he sings it - totally pretentious and self important .. Geddy could belt it out with the best, and with complete balls, but he always retained that vulnerability and oddness The guy is as sincere as they come . .

Eel Yddeg Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 So what is his true range, let's say then as opposed to now, I guess the lowest notes he sang were in 'the trees'(trouble with the trees)?The low note in The Trees is A2, on (The maples want MORE sunlight), which he also hits on Roll The Bones and The Fountain of Lamneth. However, he has gone lower. Red Lenses features a G#2, and Double Agent is the lowest, with the spoken parts bottoming out at C2.With his highest note B5, that puts his range as nearly 4 octaves.
