Wakeman WILL attend RRHOF Induction; snubs Howe, White, Bruford in the process

Using an anagram of both YES and ARW, I came up with:

Attachment 9741

[iguana]

Was this a skirmish, or the beginning of a war? Round 1, ARW seize the logo/name. Round 2, official Yes management get people showing this to back down? Round 3???

What happens now around the Hall of Fame induction?

fisticuffs at the RnRhOf. headline news in all relevant mags/sites. renewed cred with the punk/indie/scene. UNiON2. in that order.

[Paulrus]

I blame Brian Lane.

Sadly one of the more bankable assumptions in Yes history. The only hope of this ending well vis-a-vis the R&RHOF ceremony is for Jon, Trevor and Rick to deny any knowledge. Except Rick will probably screw the pooch:

"It was all my idea. Ya hear that Howie? MY IDEA. Pffffftttt!!!!"

If they get together with Geddy and Alex, they could call themselves Tom S.A.W.Y.E.R.

[3LockBox]

Perfect. This way, the RRHOF gets to shoot back on Yes fans, "this is what you wanted?"

[Impman]

Beginning to feel like this is going to be an embarrassment...

To the tune of ELP's "Street War".

No disrespect meant but....ELP's "Street War" doesn't have a tune.

[lak611]

I don't even remember ELP's "Street War".

New interview with Trevor Rabin from The Jerusalem Post:

http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Cul...-Israel-483199

An interesting interview - Trevor talks about playing in Israel, calls Roger Waters an idiot, mentions almost forming a band with Jack Bruce and Keith Emerson, and says his plans for the R&R HOF induction (“I don’t know about the others, but Jon, Rick and I are going to perform.")

Never knew Trevor's family name used to be Rabinowitz. Damn, I've always thought Rabin was an odd name and wondered about it. If I'd known he was Jewish I might have guessed that.

Seriously, Jed? 'Rabin' is the common abbreviation of Rabinowitz - as in Yitzhak Rabin's name. You knew about the rather large Jewish settlement i South-Africa, right?

FWIW, there's little "exotic" about rock musicians performing in Israel - the country sports a substantial scene for all kinds of music and cultivated a significant underground "progressive" scene as late as the 2000s, with some 70s progressive artists (check Arik Einstein, Matti Caspi, Yehudit Ravitz, Shlomo Gronich, Shem Tov-Levy and numerous others) becoming major figures in Israeli music as such ever since.

I'd be surprised if Jed has heard of Israel.

How about Gabon? He's heard of that one, right?

Huge prog scene there too. Enormous, in fact.

[Jubal]

I was under the impression that the Yes band name was owned by Squire. Did anyone purchase it from his estate after he died? Or am I incorrect in assuming Squire still owned the rights to the name as a band?
Perhaps Brian Lane purchased the band name rights and plans to auction it off to the highest bidders...
This thread is so long, someone could have mentioned this and I would've missed it.

Before Squire's death, Henry has reported that the band name was owned jointly by Squire, Howe and White. Since his death, Squire's estate presumably owns his share.

I'm sure he doesn't know who Adelewitz is.

Hey! Those Uzbeks even used to have their own prog forum! Quite an enlightening one as well, as I recall...

Squire never had sole ownership of the Yes name. That was just a fan myth that built up.

Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman have started using the Yes name. Best I can tell, they have no rights to do this. One report suggests lawyers on both sides are talking. And not the, "Oh, hi, how are you? Shall we meet up for a coffee?" kind of talking.

Before Squire's death, Henry has reported that the band name was owned jointly by Squire, Howe and White. Since his death, Squire's estate presumably owns his share.

Possibly, maybe not presumably. Some partnerships have clauses that if someone dies, their share goes to the others and isn't inherited. Squire's estate will be getting all the royalties though, I presume.
