great horn relationship work
I would work with Trevor Horn any day of the week. I have a great relationship with him.
apart bigger definitely europe fantastic fighters great mine possibly
I like the Foo Fighters a lot - apart from them being friends of mine as well. They're definitely a fantastic live act to see: so much energy and possibly even bigger in Europe than they are in the U.S., and that's great.
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.
believer great life order principle producing
I've always been a great believer that you have to keep producing new things in order to keep life interesting - not only for ourselves, but for the audience as well. That's really always been our principle and way of working.
great
The great thing about Yes is that it has always been flexible.
band hall history huge jfk playing rock roll stadium touring yes
With how huge Yes was, especially in the '70s and '80s, as a touring band and actually playing at the JFK Stadium in Philadelphia to 130,000 people, which is the biggest-paying show ever in rock history, you would think we'd done enough for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
agreed billy covering deliver excellent experience guys job yes
The other guys and myself have agreed that Billy Sherwood will do an excellent job of covering my parts, and the show as a whole will deliver the same Yes experience that our fans have come to expect over the years.
Most popular records are action-packed to the last semi-quaver.
paul
Of course, Paul McCartney's sound is different from mine, but it's the way you hear things, really.
album promoting spent studio
On our studio album 'Fly From Here' in 2011, we spent a year and a half promoting that around the world.
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.
We've never been to Israel. I'd like to play in Israel.
default design fact yes
The fact I've been in every lineup of Yes has been more by default than design.
enjoyable longest music piece
We did do the whole of the live suite from 'Fly From Here,' and that was very enjoyable to do. In fact, that is actually our longest piece of music, I think, that we'd ever done.
