Narps Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Rush and Yes are #1 and #1A in my view. Terrible news. The loss of a great bass player and showman. His backing vocals were also very key to the "Yes sound" in my view. RIP big guy One of my favorite photos of the band below. Love the threads.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) After being on such a high after last night's Rush show, I am now very sad. Chris has been a big part of my musical listening/concert going history and I will miss him. RIP Chris and thanks for the memorable bass lines.

Xanadoood Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 One of the greats. R.I.P It pisses me off that the music establishment has never recognized bands like deep purple and yes.. Key members, Jon lord and now Squire, passing away, and no recognition. It's f***ed up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Gutted. A constant throughout of my love of Prog. A giant of the bass guitar and another of my "heroes" gone.I'm old. RIP Mr Squire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Very sad. My bass player friend turned me onto Yes and Chris' bass playing when I was a kid and I was floored. One of the greats is gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltomortale Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Yes was a key band when I started really getting into music, and Chris was truly its backbone. Farewell and RIP; he will be deeply missed and his music greatly remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Yeah I don't think I would be into Prog as much if it wasn't for Yes. Huge. It was 90125 tht opened the door for me, I used to go to the record store and just stare at the yes album covers, they seemed to out there to me as a 12 year old, I never knew what the music sounded like aside from the few tracks I had heard from that period. Opened up a whole new world for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
