I think maybe if/when Alan does come back, why not add a second Drummer to handle the more demanding parts on a permanent touring basis? Worked for Genesis, Floyd, Moody Blues, etc...

Collins was a great arranger and editor for the band in the latter days he was with Genesis. If Phil was in the band for Calling All Stations, who knows how sales would have been. But some of the...

Nice to see Burt Reynolds working again, this time in the role of General Nefaryus...

One of the the most honest and informative interviews I've read in years! Interesting that Squire didn't want to change the Cinema band into becoming 'Yes', it was really all about money, album, and...

I'm Rael's.....dad!

I wish things would have worked out with the collection between Anderson and Tom Curiano, it a shame the music wasn't released for whatever "Behind The Scenes" events happened back then. The was Tom...

^^ Good one! :)

First, completely agree with the points you made about the band in your reply to my last post!

Second, Tony Banks and Rutherford wanted to write big commercial 'pop' songs, and Phil didn't 'take...

Just wish the other guys were interested in touring one last time for the Art of it all, not for the behind the scenes expectations and pressures to make a huge profit from a last tour. Look at Van...

If he finds a way to add more clarity to the 'battle sequence' during "Gates", I'll be happy.

Not sure who is lighting a fire under their asses and getting the tempos "right" again (Geoff Downes perhaps?). They're all playing pretty inspired now, and a couple of members that a lot of "fans"...

Always loved the great drum sounds on the the '70's Focus albums. Just so direct, natural, and upfront in the mix. The first Heart album had great 'direct' drumming in the mix also.

Funny, now that link on Facebook on the official Yes page for that kickstarter drive has been taken down. Guess band members, or their agents, raised a stink. Wish I had a screen capture of it.

The official Yes Facebook page is promoting this kickstarter drive, kinda odd. Could there be a 6 or 7 man lineup in the future for Yes?

Is this an album where they paid a 'big name' producer a lot of $$$$$, and because of tight deadlines, and the band not being happy with the results, they pay a close friend of Squire $$ to remix the...

Thank you for the reminder 2steves. That's why I wonder who in the band was *really* against him joining the band again, and why back then in the early 2000's. I read earlier it was probably...

Side question. Speaking of Moraz, which Yes members are opposed to him working with the band again? I figured he was originally booted out because the Wakeman name guaranteed more sales. Probably a...

This album is one that once you 'buy' into the more mellow Yes, the album is actually pretty darn good! Subway Wall is more representative of what Yes fans expect them to construct and to play like...

After seeing this video, Yes need to add a second drummer, let Alan keep the time, and the other drummer do the 'fancy' parts.

I won't "push" it anymore, but did anybody bother to actually *listen* to the 2 tracks I posted? Would be interested in a critique, pro or con. Thanks

The 'kitsch' was part of the whole experience. The idea was to play it serious while doing over the top 'silly' things on stage. They played Prog music with extreme musical chops, and had a bit of...

GuitarGeek, yep the band had there ups and downs, mainly bad advice from a new manager wrecked things for the band, and they fell apart. I know a few more details behind the scenes, however I was...

Here's the first track (and possibly their first 'single') of the upcoming, more Beatles tinged Rock than Prog, however the playing is top notch. Last preview track for now:

Star People toured with Dream Theater, Moe, Ozric Tentacles. Some of you may remember them, some may have hated them, some of you may have loved them if you saw them live. Their 'act' was a mix of...

Must be big Progressive Rock fan writers on the show Eagleheart, live action Cartoon Network series staring Chris Elliot. Episode 7 of the 2rd season, that was aired a couple days ago, is centered...

I dunno, ask what his top three favorite Dream Theater albums are.

Exactlly! Heck, I'm listening to the album as I type (already listened one time earlier today while doing yardwork today), and the album just gets better and better with each listen. The music has a...

I won't dispute where "Remote View" shouldn't be placed or not, however it is one of the strongest tracks on the album, IMO. That said, "Beyond Illumination", the track that follows is really...

What I love about the album is that the songs are influenced by a lot of the classic Prog bands, however the music doesn't sound too obviously derivative of their influences. Yeah, you have what...

I read on a Yes forum that Chris Squire said they based "Yours Is No Disgrace" on the theme for "Gideon's Way" (sorry if I'm hijacking this thread in any way, this is the last time)

...

For years I've read and seen Bruford speaking about how the band "borrowed" the theme song to "Bonanza for one of "The Yes Album" tracks, The thing is, I've listened to the "Bonanza" theme, and I...

Reading all of these posts, and it kinda paints a picture of how 'manufactured' a lot of these bands were back then (and probably are now). Seems like it's more about who and what the business side...

Taylor would be a good drummer for Yes if Alan ever retires from the band.

^ Steve Howe said that over 20 years ago in Yesyears! Things change, people change, attitudes change. If everyone is willing in the band, why not work with a guy like Eddy Offord? I made a...

Yes needs to talk Eddy Offord out of retirement to produce the next (last?) Yes album. The best songs/albums Yes did were when he co-produced and engineered for them. If they can't work with Anderson...

Wow, the article I posted is a hack job, wish I knew about the original source, I never would have posted the article here.

As far as I care, and because the article was misleading, I wouldn't...
