bassface2k10 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Now call me an old dope, but here s something that’s puzzled me for a while. Geddy Lee, right I hear a few ways people pronounce his name, how do you it , is it Geddy as Ger Garden, or is it Geddy as if it were with a "J" as in Jeddy and what is the correct way. I have always said it as it would be with a J Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-soar Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 His grandmother use to pronounce Gary as Geddy, I think she was European Jewish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray5 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Dunno why, but I've always assumed it was pronounced with a 'hard' G, as in Goodfellow, as opposed to a 'soft' G, as in GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Definitely G-eddy not Jeddy... We used to struggle with Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley at school - is it Fray lee or Free lee. We decided it was Fray lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markstuk Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Although "Jedi" Lee would be way cooler (and less South African sounding) than Geddy :-) [quote name='RhysP' post='960568' date='Sep 18 2010, 05:18 PM']You were wrong then.

Bassassin Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 When in doubt, just settle for "Bignose out of Rush". It's not like no-one would know who you meant. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
