Rhyta Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 The gal who is going to fill in for her does a great cover of Closer to the Heart, I think she will do a good job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 The gal who is going to fill in for her does a great cover of Closer to the Heart, I think she will do a good job. That's fine if they were still just a Rush cover band. But they have three albums of original music now too. Anybody can sing somebody else's songs but can she write and sing her own melodies like Rocky did? Huge blow to the band. They really were hitting a nice stride too with their own material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoopid Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Seems like a dick move to me, but it could be for a host of different reasons. The obvious one for me right now is a band wanting to perform live/tour and a member not wanting to/being able to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 That's a surprise. I saw them back in October and the band seemed in quite good spirits. Per FB, it was amicable at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can't say it's a dick move or not. Terrible timing for sure but maybe life threw some stuff at her and she needs to take care of it.

KenJennings Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Man, this is bad news. YYNOT had such a great balance and has been one of my favorite groups over the past few years. I hope everyone is doing well. Whatever happened to cause the split, I hope people refrain from jumping to conclusions and unfairly lashing out. I just hope we continue to get more great music going forward, and I wish the best for YYNOY and Rocky!

Yeah - seems like a hasty decision when the band is on the cusp of bigger things. All things being normal, you don’t bail on a band that’s got shows booked and an album coming out. Do the shows and then split. I think Rocky is perfect for the band and I’m disappointed. She sounded like a femaleGeddy! She did it tastefully too. It’s big shoes to fill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim, the Funky Biscuit shows were simply fantastic. My son and I had a fantastic time and all of you were very gracious with your time with the fans. I have zero doubt the band will land on their feet. So much music left to create and I am looking forward to the future. This is a sudden and tough set-back but there is so much talent in this world......you guys will find the right fit.

I know we all don’t want to speculate.....but I have been in a few very serious original projects in my life too.....and things happen. In this case my gut feeling is telling me a few things. The rigorous touring and traveling maybe gave Rocky some pause. But I also think the biggest factor for her was her own musical path. She is just 26 years young and saw the fan base of YYNOT was pretty much late 40 and 50 somethings who love Rush. Dad Rock. She has a lot of other influences and I can feel a different path for her musical journey. And I totally understand that. She needs to find her “thing”. There is a lot of vocal talent in our country that can be recruited if they are a progressive music lover, want to step into a band with a well established fan base and some serious chops.....I don’t think they will have too much trouble finding an older (but not too old) new voice. And who knows....maybe they go with a male for the next album. Or not. I am already looking forward to the next album. The new record is really solid (Light and Shade).....but it definitely took a more melodic vocal focused path. Some incredible gems on the album (The Mask, Fall From The Sky, Burning Bridge and Firefly for me are the real stand outs). But it is my least favorite of the three albums now that I have really given it a ton of spins. The production feels more restrained, especially with the rhythm section in terms of where it is in the mix. I really enjoy it....but for me not their strongest work front to back. That would belong to the debut. Resonance is sonically the best....the sound and production on that album is simply delicious. Everything sounded crisp, thick and the drums were recorded amazingly well. And so much strong material on Resonance.....The debut and their 2nd album are really close for me. Each album has it’s own character and flavor which is the sign of a great progressive rock band. Each album definitely has a unique mood and sonic feel. I love that.
