EagleMoon Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Not happening, per RIAB ...UPDATE: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation sent a statement to Billboard after this story was published denying that Lee would perform at the ceremony. "Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson were only confirmed to do the induction speech for one of their favorite bands and not perform. They, like all the other Yes fans, look forward to honoring them and watching them perform at the induction ceremony on April 7 and the HBO broadcast on April 29." I just read this too and was coming over to post this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could still be that it's happening and they're just pissed that it leaked this early. We can hope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevind2112 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Well if Yes is performing then who'll play Squire's part?? Ged's the perfect choice and he'll be there anyway.. maybe he'll decide to do it now that this rumour got our hopes up.. Billy Sherwood. He's been playing bass for them for a couple of years now, and was in the band a while back. It's not like they don't have a bass player. While it would have been cool to see Geddy play with Yes, Billy is more than capable of playing all of Chris's parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they are just keeping it a secret and it will happen anywaysHow does "Geddy won't be playing Roundabout" equate to "they're keeping it a secret and it will happen anyways"? Do you really think they'd lie about it JUST SO when that onstage Roundabout Geddy moment happens they can say "Ha-ha! We got you! Geddy's playing after all"?! :poke: I'm just playing with you but truly that'd be a lame secret to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in my response did I even hint that Billy is better than Geddy? I was merely pointing that Yes does have a bassist, in response to the question of who will play bass for them at the ceremony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I bet they'll jam with Yes at the end though. I wonder what song they'll do? I know! 'I've seen all good People'! Geddy is playing bass for Squire on "I've seen all good People'!! Spread the news!!! :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged could readily and effectively play the parts. That doesn't infer anything. It quite literally states that "Billy is more than capable of playing all of Chris's parts". Period. Which is a true statement because he's a great bass player, and has been playing Chris's parts for a few years now. If I had said "Billy is more capable than Geddy" then, yes, that's an inference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurabw Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Well, either way I got a ticket off Stubhub and will be there. I really hope they jam at the end! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
