Re: Yes to tour w/ "Jon understudy"

Well I think the vocalist sounds pretty damn good, and the rest of the band is decent but obviously not the match of Howe/Squire/etc. Shows how overrated Jon is. He has the perfect voice for Yes, but if there's a match, well, I think a Yes tour with this guy would still be darn good. Just my opinion...

I think "but he's not Jon" is simply idol worship, and whilst valid if you feel that way, I don't, personally...

Re: Yes to tour w/ "Jon understudy"

It's not my place to tell anyone who should be in what band. It is my place to react and plan accordingly.

I agree with Jim about the Idol worship comment, and definitely spaz and kirk about not getting a clone. Saga did the same thing with some guy that sounds like he's from Survivor.

I guess anything's better than Queen with Paul Rodgers.

If they put a record out I will listen. But to see them on tour, I'll pass. Be interesting to see if they charge less than the last tour prices.

After seeing them at Wolf Trap in 2001 years back nothing will top that. So I'm not concerned, whatever they do is ok with me. I'm enthusiastically indifferent.
