 Topic: The Curse of Yes
Posted: March 24 2006 at 14:59 |
Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Tony Kaye, Peter Banks, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, Alan White, Patrick Moraz, Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, Trevor Rabin, Billy Sherwood, Igor Khoroshev.
All members of Yes at one time or another.
What else do they have in common?
They are all still alive!!!
It's spooky. Over 30 years, and none have died!
Yes has the curse of the living. Anyone who plays for them is destined to live forever.
I wonder if Tony Levin is affected?

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

Well, they're not that old. And they obviously didn't indulge in the same things that did for John Bonham, Hendrix and the like.
Well, not as much anyway.

All the original members of Black Sabbath are still alive too. At least Ozzy`s body is still alive.

As far as I know King Crimson's former members are also all still alive, unless I've missed an obituary somewhere. So perhaps Tony Levin is doubly protected, given that he played on the ABWH studio album.

The live version of "Killer" from the RFH gig of VdGG. Somehow fitting for a bunch of superheroes.
