NationalityBritish
ProfessionBassist
Date of Birth4 March 1948
We've never been to Israel. I'd like to play in Israel.
philly supportive towns
Philly has always been one of our favorite towns to play in, and the fans have been very loyal and very supportive over the years.
six
I thought, 'Wow, if we could have a career that was five or six years long, that would be fantastic.' And, of course, never even thinking it would still be something I'd be doing in 45 years.
camping closes wrote
'Onward' was a song I wrote in Montreux, in Switzerland, when we were there camping out for the whole winter. In the summer, Montreux is a really, really big summertime-touristy, full-of-life kind of place. In the winter, it closes down.
albums appeals guess music originally
I guess the idea of doing albums in their entirety, in sequence, appeals to people. I guess it's the memory of being able to hear the music in the way it was originally presented.
history
The idea of 'Yes on Broadway' has come up. It would reflect the history of Yes.
grown obviously performance
There's always the joy of the performance and fine-tuning new interpretations. Over the years, we've all grown as musicians, so obviously there is a lot of subtlety that wasn't there in the first place.
albums yes
Over the years, Yes actually made 20 albums of original studio material.
anderson business jon music replace
You can't ever really replace Jon Anderson because he's been such a force in the music business.
accustomed
I guess I've become very accustomed to playing in the 7/4, which is something we've done quite a lot.
paul
Of course, Paul McCartney's sound is different from mine, but it's the way you hear things, really.
works yes
The way Yes works is when we have a new member come in, as in Jon Davison, it's appropriate that we see what differences we can get out of a new contributing member in order to keep Yes interesting.
howe paul simon steve
Steve Howe met Paul Simon and said that Paul was very approving of our version of 'America.'
band decide discussion extensive fame gonna hall members membership partly people yes
I think partly the problem with Yes - and I've had this discussion with people from the Hall of Fame in the past - is that it's going to be difficult to decide how many of the members of Yes you're gonna put in it and how many you're not because of the extensive membership of the band through the years.
