Can you imagine Yes without Chris Squire's bass? The news of his departure is quite devastating. I think that a very important ingredient in the Yes sound is now gone and it marks the end of an era. While I don't think that anybody really can fill Chris' shoes - who would you think might be suited to jump in? Billy Sherwood is supposed to take over and I wish them all luck. Who would be your favorite in this role? |

Honestly Yes will continue to tour and go on without Chris just like Yes continued on without Anderson. It's a machine. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

I doubt this, Beyond current obligations I foresee only a small chsance of a continuation, and then only as a 5-small {5-15} date farewell tour if both Jon and Rick decide to buy in. 1 out of 5 chances on that. -------------

No one can truly fill Squire's shoes, but Tony Levin did a damn fine job on the ABWH album, and Jeff Berlin did a fine job of filling in for him live. There are many great bassists out there but none had that unique combination of speed, power, melodicism, and grace that our Chris did. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Yes is an institution. It will never be the same band, never could be but hopefully the kids and Sherwoods/Downes etc will keep the band name going. Heck why not? Wakemans kids have done amazing stuff with Yes/Strawbs. Froese's son with TD, Harry Waters with Roger Waters etc. I guess it comes down to " proprietary' ownership and big business. ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

ehhh... we are in 2015 you know.. not 1975...  the question isn't whether he can be replaced.. of course he can.. it is s question of whether he should. I think even in that .. that place of detachment from reality that the very famous can sometimes occupy.. you have to figure that whoever owns the Yes brand. Alan White??? Realizes that fans are not likely coming out for Alan White and Steve Howe. nNot for 100's of dollars a pop for a ticket.. not for a 10 dollar to see them playing on a bail of hay at the State Fair. Yes began with Chris.. it ended with his passing. I think even the guys in the band know it. It would be great to see one last go around with some or all of the classic past members but it is Yes.. so who really knows.------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

yeah.. I suppose Alan White would be holder of the bands name now. Perhaps they could continue on without Chris.. I just can't see it. Yes fans can be.. well.. sort of nuts!!! I don't think they would react well to a decision to do so, it isn't like the new album and tours were setting things ablaze and creating any sense of excitement even with him. A Squire-less Yes would.. yes...soon be playing atop truck beds at county fairs (opening for Rick Springfield btw  ) or on improptu stages in Wal-Mart parking lots I don't think anyone.. not the fans. .not the band wants to see them go out that way.------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I actually think they’ll give it a few weeks and then announce that they’re going to carry on “with Chris’ blessing”, spin a line or two about the rich variety of musicians who have performed under the Yes name adding their own unique contributions over the years, that can carry the brand, er, sorry, I mean band, forward, all creating `the kind of music that only Yes can'...

Sherwood is really an understudy for Squire. He may be capable, but it can never be the same. Naturally, I would be blown away if Nick Beggs stepped in, but still, not the same. Should Yes persist rolling the ball, replacements will just be in the shadow, and never fully fill that void left behind by Chris. |

I feel almost like I've lost a friend. Anything Chris ever did with his instrument or his voice, I bought it, I listened to it, it became part of my life and consciousness. We don't get a choice about whether YES continues with Chris Squire anymore. All we get to choose is whether we would like this amazing music to continue to be played under the YES banner. I think it should. "And You and I" resonating in some casino somewhere in North Dakota is worth a hundred times more than Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden. I would recommend Steve Babb of Glass Hammer, who has studiously reproduced the Chris Squire bass sound and style on many recordings, and understands the spirit of the music. In fact, let's just let Glass Hammer be YES. They have earned it, and can do a lot better than "Heaven and Earth." ------------- sad creature nailed upon the coloured door of time |

I know it's a business, and they very well COULD continue on...but I will genuinely be pissed if they do that. Chris, IMHO, was THE glue that held that entire thing together. The only member consistent across all albums, all eras, all incarnations. It would be one thing if he wasn't on an album or two during the 80's - but he was there every single step of the way. I'll be very upset if they continue on without him. It's so wrong, it could never be right. My father and I were discussing this yesterday; I hope the Yes guys follow the love and light they so proudly stand for, and close The Gates of Delirium in Squire's memory once and for all. ------------- "A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous.

I always thought Dave Meros was channeling Squire in some of Spock's Beard's music. He'd make a good fill-in substitute (provided he had the time). Even so, I can't imagine Yes continuing without Squire once their contractual obligations are done. But, you never know... I never imagined them going this long without Anderson on vocals either. So my opinion is as uninformed as ever. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Agreed. I saw Yes twice on their last tour and they were excellent. Did I mind that Jon Anderson wasn't there? Of course. Will I mind that Chris Squire isn't there this time? Yes, even more. It will still be a great show filled with great music and I expect I will enjoy it thoroughly. I really do wonder why everyone is in such a hurry to close the coffin on Yes live. What difference could it possibly make to those of you who don't want to see them live if they go on touring or not? If you don't want to see what you consider a diminished Yes, then just don't buy a bloody ticket. Why on earth do you care otherwise about a show you have no intention of seeing?

I can't really imagine Yes without Chris Squire, yet I have to admit that ABWH was enjoyable for me. I think if there was a chance for another ABWH - now perhaps as 'Yes' in future (Or even with White, or someone else, though I like Bruford), or with Patrick Moraz, that would be something I'd be interested in. Well, only fantasizing... Who knows...? Maybe they realize that life is just too short to stay apart for so long. I'd like to shout that over to the Genesis camp as well since we are at it... |

Any band can go on in the absence of any member, but as I said earlier 'can' is not the same as 'should'. Yes survived the absence of Jon Anderson (just), but with the core now down to effectively Howe & White I really can't see them continuing as an ongoing unit - maybe a couple of farewell shows, but... ------------- Jon Lord 1941 - 2012 |

You know, I've long wished that the 70's artists cultivated understudies who could take over the band when they retired. Bob Fripp has done this to an extent, although I don't think King Crimson would continue as KC; rather, I could see a "new" band carrying forth with the flagship music and new compositions. "Zappa Plays Zappa," led by Dweezil Zappa, is a great example of what could be done! I've seen ZPZ twice, they are excellent (I also saw Frank Zappa in concert twice, so I have a comparison basis). As far as Yes, we have both Ollie and Adam Wakeman as mentees of Rick Wakeman and Billy Sherwood as understudy to Chris Squire. Howe's son is a drummer, I'm not sure if he would be up to the Yes obligation. It COULD be done, if done properly and with the approval of band members. I'm just not sure that it will. Unless that condition is met (understudies), I'd say that the curtain should come down on Yes. |

A poor example, I am afraid. The Who have most certainly not been the same band without Entwistle. Moon has been replaced (just) by Jones, and, latterly, Starkey. But not Entwistle. Townsend himself has often said it is not the same band, but they carried on because he felt they had the right to. I have no right to argue with him, but, as a longstanding fan, I do have the right to state unutterably it is not the same. I am very uncomfortable with this idea of bands continuing as a "franchise". In many ways, it is trying to recreate something which is magical, something that properly belongs in our youth, that energy and inspiration that is virtually impossible to recreate. In music, as in life, the past should be allowed to remain, alongside those wonderful memories we have of that past. Cover bands, franchises, old men trying to be young men, can never, ever, recreate that magic. It is like life. Life is an evolutionary process, and, there comes a point when you just have to accept that there are certain things you cannot do as old people that you did as young people. ------------- Enhance your life.

Because Yes, even more than most long-standing groups, has had such a rapidly moving rotating door with players coming and going, it's all too easy to imagine Yes continuing to play and record without Squire. As several others have already said, whether they should is an entirely different matter. I have a great fondness for Drama, but that was, I think, the first album where anyone would be right to ask, "Is this still an album by Yes?" Haven't seen them play in any of the various incarnations of the last decade or so, and so I really don't know how good they've been live, but I think they seem to have entered that nebulous zone where the distinction between Original Group and Tribute Group has become very blurry indeed. Don't get me wrong, I've seen some tribute groups that I've very much enjoyed, but if Yes were to continue without Squire would they be Yes, or a tribute to Yes? ------------- The damage that we do is just so powerfully strong we call it love The damage that we do just goes on and on and on but not long enough. --Robyn Hitchcock |

The trouble with this thread - and others that have addressed the same issue - is that most of you seem to be cynically assuming that Yes are continuing to tour to squeeze the last bit of cash out of their gullible fans. When I attended a Yes concert last year, however, what I saw was a bunch of musicians who were very obviously enjoying playing excellent music. No one was making a killing off those shows - the venues weren't large enough to be that lucrative. The band were there because they wanted to be, and the musicians clearly were pleased that the fans were enjoying the shows as well. If the remaining members of Yes, and whomever they invite to join them in playing, want to go on touring, then more power to them. If you don't want to go see them, then the solution is obvious - don't go to see them. I do wonder how many people on this site would be offended if complete strangers were to sit around speculating about the reasons you continued to pursue your chosen career and whether you should go on doing so. I wouldn't be too pleased about it myself. Maybe we could all be a little less sanctimonious about other people's choices - particularly as we can't read their minds and therefore don't know their motives?

A big question I can't get past is who actually controls the Yes name? Edit: there is an explanation on chrissquire.com. The name is owned jointly by Squire, Anderson, and White. The current Yes, LLC is owned by Squire, Howe, and White. My feeling is that Mr. Squire and company intended to see Yes through to its 50th anniversary. Although Chris can't be part of it, there may be sufficient interest on the part of enough veteran members to make it happen. And from there, perhaps nobody knows, including the surviving band members. |

I suggest the band carries on as Yesshows - a touring group of musicians with close ties to the band recreating the Yessound. Sort of like how the Grateful Dead splinter groups carry on with Jerry Garcia. The crowd grooves, the music is fine, and the Dead come to life again, if only for a moment.....but it ain't the Dead. Yesshows would serve the same purpose.....let the ghost of Yes rise again. I have had dozens of chances to see Yes since my last show on the Union tour, and I'm sure I missed some great nights, but it was just so far from the Yes that I enjoy that it might as well have been a Yesshows concert. Still, I regret not seeing Chris and Steve play together again.....sh*t. But, honestly, in my opinion it has been a legacy band since Bruford left....I love a lot of stuff that followed, but that vibrant, almost magical sound - THE Yessound - left with Bruford. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

I could be OK with this, but Downes would have to go. He stinks. Tony Kaye would bring some legacy back to the band. If Anderson returned, they could certainly be a legitimate Yes, but I think the conflict between Howe is too great to bridge. Pity, Howe is riding this horse into its grave...

Yes was done for me pretty much after Big Generator. Even with some of the previous lineups the "Yes sound" had strayed from it's roots, which happens with the best of bands I admit. Certainly Chris was the grounding rod for the band over the years. His departure will make it difficult for Yes to be anything more than a pale shadow of what they once were to be sure. So, no, I can't imagine Yes without that bass. Time to reform ABWH. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

Tony Levin is amazing but Squire had a unique style. It may be imitated well but it can not be completely replaced, at least in my opinion. I'm sure Tony would do a better job than Billy Sherwood. Billy ain't bad but he ain't no Tony Levin, either.

| The thing about Tony Levin is that, indeed Squire may have had a unique style, but so does Tony. It can be particularly notorious if you listen both ABWH live albums, the original evening of Yes Music, and the Live at the Nec, one with Levin, and the first one with the bass player that replaced Tony when he was ill. The other one may have played Squiere's parts even more faithfully, but Tony's versions do have his stamp on them, and that kind of makes it more interesting to listen to them. |

During the ABWH phase, Levin applied his "funk fingers" (short drumsticks taped to his right hand fingers) in order to replicate the speed and treble that Squire produced using a plectrum. Here's a bit of an interview: =============== TL: "Close to the edge, down by the water, how did it go, I'm a forgotter." er,, what was the question? Oh, did it blow me away -- well, the truth is, I didn't have the option of getting blown away - I had a few weeks to learn all the material and, frankly, that involved me improving my technical speed quite a bit - so I didn't stop to evaluate anything until later. I was impressed, but worried about technique, I'm afraid. At that time, I decided, instead of trying to play fast with a pick, to develop a new technique I had tried a bit - two drumsticks attached to my fingers -- I call them funk fingers -- I felt this would be a trebly sound in keeping with the tradition, but would be somewhat new too, and VERY trebly. Maybe I'm saying my emotional reaction was ... fear! Not really -- I dug the material, and very much enjoyed the challenge it presented me with. MOT: The funk fingers give your bass playing a different, interesting sound. How did you first discover or invent this technique? TL: On a P.G. song called "Big Time" I had the drummer, Jerry Marotta, play on the strings while I fingered the notes. Then, live I had to try to play it myself. I used one stick and ... shall I say I did the best I could. One day, Peter saw me, and suggested I try to attach two sticks to my fingers. I simply turned to Andy Moore, my tech at the time, and said "Can we do that?" Andy fashioned them, we spent many months improving the details, and then, having heard Chris Squires parts, I spent weeks practicing like hell. http://www.elephant-talk.com/wiki/Interview_with_Tony_Levin_in_Notes_From_the_Edge" rel="nofollow - http://www.elephant-talk.com/wiki/Interview_with_Tony_Levin_in_Notes_From_the_Edge ====== I saw ABWH in concert, and Levin was absolutely brilliant, filling in for Squire! |

^ I, too, was impressed by Levin's performance in the ABWH show. His duet with Bruford during the drum solo segment was outrageous - although similar to what he had done with Crimson. After the concert, many of us from local record stores were invited to a meet and greet party. I asked Levin about the sticks, and at the time he didn't want to talk about them. I assumed he didn't want any details released in case he was able to market them. If Levin was ever coerced to join, would that not make the ABWH albums actual Yes albums (I consider them such anyway), if all of the members would be official Yes members? ------------- Trust me.

During a time, before Anderson left the band the last time, on Yes's official page the ABWH album was listed among the Yes discography, but it seems this has been removed now (I remember liking the way the page was presented then). Also, since the Union album has many songs from ABWH, and that one is an official Yes album, that is enough for me to consider the first ABWH album also a Yes album (besides the fact that it's got 4 out of 5 members from the classic line-up). |

I have always thought that ABWH was a Yes album except for obscure legal reasons which prohibited them from putting the Yes logo on the cover. After all, they did not choose an alternative band name, and just put their surnames on it, because with an alternative band name it "wouldn't have been Yes" - but it was meant to be Yes. Not that I consider ABWH something comparable to the great Yes classics, but the other 80s and later Yes albums can't compare with them either. ------------- ... brought to you by the Weeping Elf "What does Elvish rock music sound like?" - "Yes." |
