I bet Pbil Collins couldn't play the drum fills in 'The Musical Box' by the back end of the '80s.
Dunno about the '80s, but by the late '90s he certainly couldn't, by his own admission:http://www.genesis-news.com/c-The-Musical-Box-Phil-Collins-about-his-guest-performance-in-Geneva-s238.html

This is gonna turn into a Goblin situation. Ugh.
So long as it doesn't turn into a Union situation I'm alright with it.

Howe Yes announced that Anderson has a legal right to tour under this name so it sounds like this won't get litigous
I'm not particularly interested in Howe Yes without Squire and with Alan White still drumming, as much as I like Downes. I wish they'd called it a day after the relatively great Fly from Here. Interested to hear what Anderson Yes do when they record.

Yo cmon Downes sucks SO BAD live

and it's fucking ridiculous to have anyone else sing this stuff when Jon's voice is in such great shape. esp after we thought he was going to lose it!

oh yeah I know but I liked his work on Fly from Here.
― akm, Monday, 10 April 2017 23:27 (seven years ago) link
yeah Anderson sounds great. everyone saying he was so ill and couldn't do it anymore.

I thought the singing was the weakest link in the "Roundabout" clip but it's p impressive for a 72yo dude.

I thought the drumming the the worst

anyway I posted this in the rush thread but billy sherwood posted a magnificent screed against wakeman the next morning, which even the Yes (official) FB page reposted; which is now mysteriously gone and he says his page was hacked, which is not very believable.

yah that was... weird. dude seemed so bitter. the audience loved rick and he was only up there for 3 minutes.

peeping into yesfans forum is some depressing shit. people seriously upset "this means there may not be a yes in 10-20 years out there"really dude? I'll give you, maybe, 7... but 10 years? 20? you really think they would be putting out an album and touring when some of these guys are in their 90s? Yes is over once Howe and Anderson are retired/dead. I don't want to see Yes featuring Igor Whatsit, Billy Sherwood, and Jon Davison

I don't even give Yes another decade, really... my feeling is that it'll all have folded within a decade.

But for now, I just think it's hilarious that the singer who got fired from Yes can now tour under the name Yes.

Listening to Close to the Edge this morning and the middle section of 'And You And I' still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
