Geddy Lee- My Effin' Life
- Unit price
- / per
The long-awaited memoir, generously illustrated with never-before-seen photos, from the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Rush bassist, and bestselling author of Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass.
Geddy Lee is one of rock and roll's most respected bassists. For nearly five decades, his playing and work as co-writer, vocalist and keyboardist has been an essential part of the success story of Canadian progressive rock trio Rush. Here for the first time is his account of life inside and outside the band.
Long before Rush accumulated more consecutive gold and platinum records than any rock band after the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, before the seven Grammy nominations or the countless electrifying live performances across the globe, Geddy Lee was Gershon Eliezer Weinrib, after his grandfather murdered in the Holocaust.
As he recounts the transformation, Lee looks back on his family, in particular his loving parents and their horrific experiences as teenagers during World War II.
He talks candidly about his childhood and the pursuit of music that led him to drop out of high school.
He tracks the history of Rush which, after early struggles, exploded into one of the most beloved bands of all time.
He shares intimate stories of his lifelong friendships with bandmates Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart—deeply mourning Peart’s recent passing—and reveals his obsessions in music and beyond.
This rich brew of honesty, humor, and loss makes for a uniquely poignant memoir.
We take great care in packing every order so it arrives quickly and safely.
Items sold on our website may ship from multiple locations, including our brick-and-mortar store, our off-site warehouse, or as preorders that release at a later date. To help set clear expectations, each product page lists an item’s availability and shipping location just above the Add to Cart button.
- In-store items are typically ready to ship within 24–48 hours
- Warehouse items must first be transferred to our shop before shipping. This transfer process generally takes 4–7 business days
If an order contains items from both locations, the order will be held and shipped together once all items are available at our shop. In these cases, the 4–7 business day transfer timeline applies to the entire order, even if some items were initially in stock at our retail location.
If your order includes items that require a warehouse transfer, this will be clearly noted:
- On the product page
- During checkout
- In a follow-up email sent shortly after your order is placed
Orders that include preorders will ship once all items in the order are released and available. If you’d prefer available items to ship sooner, feel free to contact us at info@darksiderecords.com and we’ll be happy to help arrange split shipping.
