default design fact yes
The fact I've been in every lineup of Yes has been more by default than design.
We've never been to Israel. I'd like to play in Israel.
yes
In many ways, I think about the possibility that there could still be a Yes in 100 or 200 years from now, just like a live symphony orchestra.
absolutely gotten worn
I've had to replace parts in the basses when they've gotten old or worn out, so everything isn't absolutely original.
design
I've been called the journeyman. It's really more by default than it is by design.
former member object
I wouldn't object to working with any former member of Yes, really.
great horn relationship work
I would work with Trevor Horn any day of the week. I have a great relationship with him.
fan marquee
I was a big Who fan when I was 15, 16 years old, and I used to go watch them play at the Marquee Club in London as often as I could.
I think what the story of Yes has been is we've wandered in and out of different styles over the years.
I think I'll not attempt to do a 'Fish Out Of Water 2.'
basic modern roll sounds studio work
I like working with modern sounds in the studio as much as I'm happy to work with a basic rock n' roll format.
developed few people tricks
I learned to do a few tricks that other people hadn't done before. I developed that trebly bass thing a little further.
