Old Chris Squire Video

I know that wasn't Yes... but Yes was my favorite band growing up and Steve Howe was the reason I got into music... and of course Chris Squire was my favorite bass player. I used to love the bass/guitar lines in Long Distance Runaround.

Thanks for posting that Glenn.... brought back memories.

cheers,

oh yeah... in the right hands, a Rick bass can sound awesome.

Willing to accept donations.

True, it might not have been Yes, but Bruford and Moraz were no slouches on Squire's solo effort.

Funny I just put that CD on the iPod (couple days ago).

Friend still has his Red & White Rick (bought in 78) still plays it though.

"oh yeah... in the right hands, a Rick bass can sound awesome."

Who's bass could this be?

Relayer was one of my favorite albim... and Patick Moraz was Swiss.. where I grew up

Loved Patrick's playing.

I thought I was gonna miss Wakeman until I saw them live with Moraz on the Relayer tour (Anaheim stadium with Gentle Giant, Gary Wright, and Peter Frampton). They opened with "Gates": game over.
Of course, Patrick shredded on Sound Chaser! I remember thinking though that his ARP was thinner sounding that Rick's Moog.

Steve was one of my big guitar influences too (It was hard to find other cats who wanted to play Close To The Edge at high school parties though). He has an incredible ability to come up with the most complex stuff, while still keeping it melodic, lyrical, rock 'n roll, and childlike.


I never got into Rush though. Great players they were, but their music didn't move me at all.

Geddy Lee?

Fish out of Water was a good record... and you guys are showing your age.
CS surely had cool Ric tone. My fav bass line. Heart of the Sunrise. The one after the main theme where the mellotron enters Advent of CD's kinda spoiled the honed art of lifting the stylus up by hand. Then placing it back on the record where ya wanted it. Especially precarious while holding a joint in the other hand.

Dang, you beat me to it, Glenn.

Man, I love Geddy.
