Yes

Post by *Lifesonite »

I listened to Fragile last night. I've never heard anything like it, to say the least ;) They sound very classically influenced.
I remember watching in amazement as Geddy sang, played bass, and played the keyboards with his feet. I thought, "Who is this guy???"

this is funny i just heard "The Yes Album" last night and was blown away!
"John Rutsey, who was a viking then, Geddy, who wasn't a viking and myself formed the band as it isn't today to patrol war-torn areas of the Middle-East and to incurr as many debts as possible. This we did with a passion."
- Alex Lifeson

What I THINK he's trying to say is Scots can't sing!

Yes and Rush have been my musical lifeblood for the last 25 years.

Schuette is right, singling along with Wonderous Stories is very uplifting. Then if I'm not going to be disturbed and can really lose myself in the music, letting the album contiue on through Awaken will usually bring me to tears.

Until Rush in Rio came out, my favorite DVD in the world was YesSymphonic Live in Amsterdam.

That's how it was for me in high school. It wasn't cool (to the mainstream kids) to like Rush and hardly anyone had even heard of Yes.
