John V Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) I don't get the dislike for Davison. If I had his voice and had a chance to play with these guys, I'm all in.I think Jon Davison has a beautiful voice and is the perfect replacement for Anderson. Perfect stand in. Now, would I prefer Anderson? Yes. But he's now with his own band and doing his own thing.I guess I get the disdain, as I could see if Rush were to try and perform without Geddy Lee. I could never accept a replacement.It was easy with Yes.They have not been relevant for a long time and frankly the addition of Davison was the smart thing to do.Not to mention Davison is very humble, I think and knows who he is and who he is supposed to sound like. I like the guy, yet know nothing about him.Lets say my gut tells me he is Okay. Edited May 17, 2016 by John V 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right :) I actually do know Jon personally and he's indeed a humble & very nice person :) Edited May 17, 2016 by Catch The Mystery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfwayToGone Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I have nothing against the guy. Nothing against Steve Howe, Jon Anderson, et al wanting to tour with whoever they can enjoy doing it with. As long as it's not Axl the kacksel Rose replacing Jon, I'm all good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planet X-1 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Yes and Rush have at least one common point, they keep touring. Thanks to Kneel Yes and Rush now have nothing in common. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I was done with Yes after the 35th anniversary tour. I think they were done too for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I was done with Yes after the 35th anniversary tour. I think they were done too for that matter. I got lambasted from guy on a FB Yes related page because I think Alan White should hang it up! Sorry..the past two times I saw "Yes" (Howe, Squire, White & Howe, Downes, White) Alan was struggling, and not hitting the mark like used to... The first time, I was just thinking "bad night" the second time was "Alan, please retire".... I'd respect more if they called it a day, and let it go already... Howe should just do solo tours, he's still at the top of his game, and Downes is playing great as well... Not a fan of Billy Sherwood, and not a huge fan of the singers they've had... yeah they have decent voices...but... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugen Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Now it's ARW : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 I was at the show in 2005 at MSG when the audience stopped YES from finishing "And You And I" with a standing ovation. Anderson, Howe, Squire, Wakeman and White. Goosebumps moment for sure. After Jon departed I saw YES with Benoit David and walked out of the show after 20 mins. To me Jon is the heart and soul of YES. I have seen Jon solo so I will see ARW for sure. Check out the crowd starting at 2:50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
