Date of Birth4 March 1948
We've done very different Yes albums - 11 bars, 13. I think we had something that had 17/4 in it. It's just like anything - the more you do it, the more you have to do it.
bit course enjoyed great playing pull since standards time yes
It's been a long time since we've been out there playing new material, and we have really enjoyed that. Of course we still enjoy playing the Yes standards as well, but it's great to have a bit of a challenge and pull off new material.
again alan anderson deserves gone jon rick since though time white
Rick Wakeman and Jon Anderson have rejoined and gone off again and rejoined, but I've been there the whole time, and even though Alan White is the 'new' drummer, he has been there since 1972, so he also deserves the credit for being around for 20 years.
change fade funniest quite tracks
I think it was 'Tales of Topographic Oceans' on 8-track that was the funniest thing because it would fade out in the middle of a song and fade back in again, and when the tracks change, it was quite amusing.
people yes
There's been talk of YES possibly doing something on Broadway in New York. People have approached me with that idea, and there are discussions about that.
coming guitars happened music particular store
I was working in a music store in London, and this particular place happened to be the importers for Rickenbacker guitars into England. So I started seeing these basses coming in.
amazing last marriages
It's amazing that we've been able to put up with each other for 35 years. Most marriages don't last that long these days.
believe explains eye future green men opposed outer phenomena plausible reason seems
I really believe that the aliens are us from the future. It seems to me a very plausible reason that explains a lot of phenomena as opposed to green men with one eye from outer space.
people somebody
The band will be going along, and somebody or another will say, 'I want to go off and do a solo career.'... They come back, and other people come in.
I think what the story of Yes has been is we've wandered in and out of different styles over the years.
I think I'll not attempt to do a 'Fish Out Of Water 2.'
