Have Yes become a tribute band to itself, like some people here have suggested? Well, maybe there is some truth to that. But the reason is not, as far as I’m concerned, the absence or presence of this or that particular member in the current line up, but rather the fact that they keep touring year after year, and releasing live album after live album, without having any new material to showcase.
Yes is no alone in this, many (most?) older bands nowadays seems to be content playing their classic songs live, and rarely go in to the studio to record anything new. The fact that they make more money from playing live may have something to do with it, but personally I think it is lame. A band remains relevant as long as they create new music. |

I know this is a bit off topic, but I just listened to Steve Howe's new solo album Love Is, on YouTube and have to admit I was quite surprised. It was much better than I had expected. It's no substitute for a proper Yes album and it's more "prog-light" than a proper prog album. This will probably be the first album from him I've bought since Turbulence.

Thank you, D, I didn't know anyone noticed my "Yes lineup coaching!" As time went on, I became rather fond of Benoit, and appreciated his voice much more than his live act. I agree, his vocals on FFH were excellent. Yes treated him harshly in the end, but that is their history....Banks, Moraz, Igor, etc. (well, Igor had issues....) Davison on the other hand disappoints me in Yes. Not sure why, but there is no spark there. I expected more. Clearly, Howe blocks the door to Jon Anderson returning, they really have a war going on. Howe pissed off Wakeman by sacking Ollie, and he is now the undisputed leader of this outfit. Good luck to him.

I do remember when you were suggesting him, and at the time it seemed like a good idea, since Benoit was struggling with the songs live, but hearing him live with Yes it just didn't work for me... perhaps he doesn't struggle so much, but he sounds bland... almost as if he'll fall asleep while singing. And for me Benoit's singing on Fly from Here was really beautiful, while Davidson's singing on Heaven and Earth was as bland as his live singing (if not even more so)... so, in the end, they might just as well have kept Benoit... or even better, get Anderson back, he's still singing wonderfully. |

The more recent posts in this thread sound like they're from actual members of Yes using pseudonyms. No wonder they'll never get back together. You might as well just start farting at each other and see who passes out first.

LOL, thanks! That or "Godspell," I keep mixing them up! Ian Gillian was drop-dead AMAZING in the recording for "Jesus Christ Superstar," I think that is my favorite performance of his! Davison was excellent on Glass Hammer's CD "Perilous," but I can understand wishing to join a legendary band. I actually suggested Davison as a substitute for Benoit David some years ago, as Benoit's onstage twirling act grew tiresome. I only wish Yes had brought in a woman vocalist, that would have been a very progressive move! Nope, they had to do the tired old "find a tribute band singer" routine, like Journey & everyone else out there. Have you ever seen this? This thread is the perfect place for it!! |
