There's no need to apologise. Maybe I'll give Peter Banks a mention in my Tony Banks thread. Wink

off topic-ness does not bother you. 
Not at all. It's all good fun and not to be taken seriously. Wink 
 
By the way, I think you just coined a new phrase: "off-topic-ness" Tongue

first rule of forum discussion is don't go off topic. LOL

Talking of "Banks", I'll have a Tony Banks albums thread coming up just as soon as I've listened to all of his albums. Smile

I was talking about Peter Banks and early Yes. 
You're not paying attention. LOL
I knew you were talking about Peter Banks. Wink

why talk about Tony Banks in a Yes thread? Confused

I was pleasantly surprised too. I never expected a Yes album from 1999 to sound just as good as - if not better than - some of their classic albums from the early 1970's era. Heart

I think richardh is talking about the line-up and Ladder tour, he's not praising the album.
And no, The Ladder does not come close to any 70s albums. Not even the 80s ones. 
Oh well, I can't please everyone all of the time and you're perfectly entitled to your opinion. Thanks for your post anyway. Thumbs Up Heart

Why are you even trying to please people, we all have different opinions and tastes, we can't agree on anything and it's fine.

I've always been surprised how little love the Banks albums get here. Confused

"The Ladder" is still my favourite Yes album (but only since yesterday) despite what anyone else says about the album. It's much better than the "Relayer" album (in my opinion). Smile

Should look that up...


No, Psych Paul is pretty close. I heard it was one female security guard and more like sexual harassment though. I don't know all the details but I do know it was the main reason(maybe only)that he was let go from the band.

Hooking up with underage groupies was Andy Summers from the Police. Maybe you read his autobiography but forgot who wrote it. LOL

O.K. Thanks for clarifying. That’s a shame.
No, I haven’t read much about Andy Summers, but I guess many dudes in bands hook-up with young chicks (who probably look older than they are......)

One of the most notorious was Jimmy Page and Lori Maddox who was 16 at the time he met her. Apparently he kidnapped her or something. I don't really know the whole story but what I read seemed rather weird if you ask me.
