Geddy Lee Hosts New Docuseries About Bassists, Featuring Krist Novoselic, Robert Trujillo, and More

RUSH legend Geddy Lee headlines an upcoming Paramount+ docuseries titled Geddy Lee Asks: Are Bass Players Human Too? The four-part series, premiering December 5th, will feature Lee engaging in random activities with fellow bassists Krist Novoselic (Nirvana), Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Les Claypool (Primus), and Melissa Auf der Maur (ex-Smashing Pumpkins, ex-Hole).

In the just-released trailer (watch below), we see Lee visiting each of the aforementioned bassists’ homes, whereby he cans tomatoes and fruit with Novoselic; surfs with Trujillo; goes fishing and flies in an airplane with Claypool; and jams on the bass with Auf der Maur.

“I’m trying to show the world that a bass player can do many things,” Lee is heard saying in the trailer. “Join me as I travel to the homes of four bass legends and dive deep into their lives, and their inspirations, plus some fun making music … as I try to answer one really important question: Are bass players human, too?”

In a press release, he further stated, “The idea for this show was born out of interviews I did for my first book, The Big, Beautiful Book of Bass. I was struck that these accomplished musicians also lived incredibly interesting, multifaceted lives offstage.”

The docuseries comes at a busy time for Lee. The RUSH frontman recently announced a North American book tour in support of his upcoming memoir, My Effin’ Life, which arrives on November 14th. The tour runs from a November 13th date in New York City through a December 7th appearance in Toronto, with tickets available here.
