Very good one, Apart from the music, what did you make of the punk philosophy of just getting up on stage and doing it, regardless of talent and skill? EDIT: Just move my post to other thread, I wasn't aware of it before. Or delete this one. ------------- There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless," -Andyman1125 on Lulu  Even my |

New album in 2010, aye? If Jon Anderson isn't on it, I'm not buying it. |

Squire seems like a nice enough guy in the interview, but if he's not using all of those basses at once, can I borrow some?  I think Howe has outdone him in his guitar collection, and let's not even get started on Wakeman... ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Maybe they'll get Mr Horn back on board. Cant see it myself. The guy who is singing with them at the moment (Benoit David, or David Benoit) is apparently very good. I wanted to see them this month, in London, but I'll be away that day..

Hi Ben, thanks for publishing the link.
Our interviews section here is for publishing the actual interviews. If you'd like to do so feel free, otherwise your thread sits best in this section which is for publicising ventures outside the site.
PS, the blogs section is for, er, blogs.

A vital question unasked: Who is Yes? Is Jon officially out of the picture, is the new guy an official member? Didn't Chris want to talk about it or why wasn't this asked? If something, that is a question on everybody's lips. But otherwise a very good one indeed

Cool interview I still always think of Yes as the choir boys of rock though. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/cozfunkel/" rel="nofollow">

I agree 100% with you. Although I'll probably end up caving and buying it  -------------

Well, for me the biggest issue is that the guys more or less 'silently' outed Anderson from the line-up without giving any proper announcement or notice to the fans. Poor Jon had that asthma attack, and rather than waiting for him to recover, the band goes on tour anyway with a less-then-stellar replacement. Was it temporary? Was it permanent? Nobody said anything. Then one day, I go to the band's website to see that Anderson's name no longer appears. They just phased him out. And it was wrong. Now, had the charming interviewer taken the time to address this very issue with Squire, my fears may have been put at ease. Instead, I'm left even more angry, because now there is the potential of a new album without Anderson on it!  *whew!* Happy place, happy place . . . |

I agree with you on that - They didn't even bother to ask Jon if he would be up for the new tour, which was a truly awful thing to do. I also can't stand Benoit's vocals at all, they're ear piercing and sound paper thin compared to Anderson's. *Checks YesWorld* 
Thats incredibly rude, really. Just dropping him from the lineup is too  ing far!
For me, Anderson is the real genius behind Yes, and I doubt they can make another (good) album like they did with DRAMA. Also, I've decided not to see them if they come on tour in Australia. -------------

Good interview. Although, I knew much of that info, it's always nice to read another interview with Chris. He's a great guy! And a pretty good bass player.
Here's a website with a TON of Yes news:
