Rush makes Gibson's list of 10 Great Rock Rhythm Sections

Wed, Jan 11, 2012@10:01AM | comments removed/disabled

Gibson.com has posted their list of the top 10 Great Rock Rhythm Sections and the Rush rhythm section of Neil Peart and Geddy Lee came in at #2 behind John Paul Jones and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. Here's what they had to say:

Canadian power trio Rush gained a following thanks to their virtuoso instrumentals and radio-friendly progressive rock style. Geddy Lee proved the quintessential hard rock frontman, with his oh-so distinct tenor - and a bass player, to boot! It's Lee's attention to bass grooves and vocal melodies and his perfect fit with drummer Neil Peart - who, consequently, is to praise for much of Rush's songwriter - that makes this ranking a no-brainer.

You can check out the entire list at this link. Thanks to John at Cygnus-X1.net for the heads up.
