Not Geddy Lee – But It Sure Sounds Like Him
They say everyone has a person somewhere in the world who looks just like them, a doppelgänger. But what do you call someone who sounds just like another person?
Tribute bands have proliferated in recent years and they can make a good living performing the works of successful bands present and past.
I’m not into tribute bands, as good as some of them might be. But I ran across this video of the Rush tribute band 2112 performing live. The band is very good. The singer, Anthony Paul? It has been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Geddy Lee should be flattered by this. You be the judge.
and the Real McCoy, Rush, performing the Spirit of Radio live in 1980
I played them simultaneously in 2 browsers and they are nearly identical as far as voice.
If you know of a singer or a tribute band that sounds better than the real thing – drop us a line and tell us who it is.
Fred Barchetta. Yeah.

You like vocal sound-a-likes. Check out this Journey tribute. Not as close as the geddy lee guy but Perry damn good. He sounded just like Perry when they played in the 90’s. They just reformed and his voice has thickened a bit.. We is a little flat a couple of times but this was their 1st live show in 13 years

Maybe not exact, but this post reminded me of this story: http://stereogum.com/7402/cheapest_audition_ever_journey_searches_youtube_fi/video/
What people don’t realize is that Getty Lee was really replaced right before power windows you can tell it’s not the same guy look at his nose it is not as big as the original also his eyes are closer together and his mannerisms and speaking are different in interviews. I know for a fact that most rock bands that are popular get switched out at some point when management wants them to go into a new area and feels they need new players as well as the artist are ready to retire with their money and they don’t have to pay the doubles as much because now manage my own is the name . Plus they get off just by knowing they were tricking you believe me it happens all the time even with Hollywood actors .
