Rig Rundown - Yes' Chris Squire & Steve Howe

How we miss Chris. Like an old friend who brought so much joy onstage and in the studio, then, left so much for us to keep forever.

[@abdulkarimtalib479]

Shawn Hammond is a GREAT interviewer; he asked intelligent questions and got out of the way and let Howe, Squire and Squire's techie answer them; he wasn't intimidated by these great musicians but interacted with them in such a way as to get them really enthusiastic about talking to him. I have never seen Howe so animated in an interview before and Hammond had a lot to do with that. Hammond is just as much a rock star as those two maestro musicians. Great, great interview! Thank you.

[@MikeKiker]

Chris Squire was the first bass player that really made me pay attention to the bass guitar and what it was capable of. My bass player dad got me hooked on "Close To The Edge" & "Fish Out of Water" at the age of 10. I'm 28 now and also play bass, among other instruments, and I've never been the same since. He is truly one of the finest bass players who ever lived and his passing marks the end of an era. RIP Chris Squire

[@mr.mcmagpie6606]

Truth

[@smalltatoo]

he holds sound and releases it like no other the Chris!

[@portlavacaboy]

I got "Fragile" when it first came out; I was 15 and it pretty much blew my mind. "Heart of The Sunrise" was my favorite track, and I must have listened to it 100 times the first month I had it. Chris was a major influence on me becoming a bass player.

I am so bummed out right now :( Chris's bass playing was and still is one of my all time favorites. May he rest in peace. He was only 67 years old. Way too young to die. Makes me feel my own morality since I'm 63. All I can say right now is I'm glad I grew up on the best rock music in history. Today's music sucks. I'm sure most of you agree with me.....

Loved this Rig Rundown. Can't believe I missed this one all these years. Thanks guys!

[@elektroskeptic481]

I cannot believe the levels of history and musical invention we're seeing here. The bass and the player that paved the way for the entire genre of music, that rumbly, juicy, gnarly and sexy fuzzed bass with a melodic life of its own. The bass that brought forward Genesis, Rush and similar bass tones of other bands. The tech is hilarious: "So what's this we're looking at?' 'Well, I don't know really, I guess Chris he just puts it..' 'You mean it's been like that all the time?' 'Yeah, since the 60-s. Well, gee. I guess we never really talked about it.' Epochs came and went, while this bass and this sound were grinding away, all this time.

[@johnstinchcomb8156]

I love that Steve is a total guitar nerd that needs to know everything about what's going on with his gear. And Chris has tape on the knobs keeping him from making any changes because he really doesn't pay all that much attention beyond what sounds good & feels good without caring why.

[@mukraker1]

Thank you Shawn, and Chris. That was a wonderful session. You covered a lot of territory, I mean COVERED that territory. Whoo! It was very complicated, to my mind. I'm an old guy now; been playing, on and off, since I was 19. My father was a musician, who was in the Paul Whiteman Orchestra, if you've heard of them. They were a "big deal" back in the 20s, 30s and all the way up to the 80s. That's quite a history. I started on the accordion, with my father right by my side, which wasn't always a wonderful thing for me. I tried like hell to NOT make mistakes because my penalties were harsh. Be that as it may, I still had the music bug and also learned flute, bass, of course, drums, my main instrument for decades and other oddities along the way. This "lesson" was wonderful from my perspective. Chris has a lot of knowledge and experience, especially with guitars. My mobility is hampered these days so I don't get out as much as I want, so playing at home is my current venue. Listening how Chis explains his search for the sound he wants and the experience of playing it on stage, and the common problems he encounters while doing it. I'm having a hard time with my words today. I don't feel like I'm expressing myself well, and wish I could tell you guys exactly how I feel about this lesson. Needless to say, (ha ha been blabbing for 10 minutes now

[@mukraker1]

I accidentally pressed the wrong key in the last message and didn't finish. I really do appreciate these "lessons" from famous players. The interviewers are pretty good, compared to most, which is a huge compliment, so take it as that, OK? I did learn a lot from this video and, for that, I am greatly pleased. Keep 'em coming and I'll keep an eye out for 'em. Thank you all for a good on line experience. That's it: end of file.

[@thomasromano9321]

The Paul Whiteman orchestra. You bet I heard of them. Among the musicians who played and sang with them was the musically unschooled but genius Bix Beiderbecke who died tragically young, and a young vocalist, Bing Crosby. We all know where Bing Crosby ended up. The Paul Whiteman Band were among the finest jazz musicians of that time in the 1920's with their chief rivals the Fletcher Henderson Band.

9:03 Jim Mouradian's guitar repair shop was in my hometown of Winchester Massachusetts. I went in there a lot after school as a kid, and I would frequently see this style of guitar or bass in his shop. Jim was a great guy too, and was surprisingly adept at putting up with annoying kids asking a million questions, like myself. Jim died in early 2017, and his son now runs the repair shop in Wilmington MA.

[@oiramsq73]

I remember Jim from the top floor of a little place in Porter Square called “The Cambridge Music Center”. He did repairs and built guitars. I too was an annoying little kid that used to hang around the store; Dennis and Wendell (the proprietors) and all the guys that worked there and in connection with that shop were really, really nice folks. I don’t want to turn this into something more pointed, but I just want to say that I doubt any kids ever meet and form bands when shopping for gear on-line. Guitar Center is too corporate; those little shops selling new and used gear were wonderful because the people who went in were really focused on learning to play or practicing or even performing and you got to meet people and connect with people - some of them I’m still in contact with to this day. The whole point of harmony is for everyone/multiple people to contribute their frequency to the same piece of music; without places to meet and hang-out and find out what other players are into and listening to you’ll have a hard time finding people to collaborate with.

it seems like musicians who were great and blessed with talent so few have really age with humility and respect ,i think they love music so much they arent able to be snobs

The thing that's great about Steve Howe and Chris Squire, is that they've never 'sold-out'. They're true and honest and still seem oblivious as to why anyone would be interested in them. They're great musicians who wrote wonderful, perfectly executed music two generations before Garageband.

Peter Cooper it's so awesome. They're just normal guys. Not self aware, just wanting to do their job and do it well and be friendly

Music is the key that can unlock one's inner feeling(s) that reside in some cases, dormant in our souls till that combination of melodic genius meets the refined precision of a master such as Chris. He has the ability to reach deep into our souls, and touch parts hitherto unknown. It's an awakening of spirit to be sure, what we choose to do with this gift of course is up to us. Appreciate, share, marvel at his use of time and space, how he shapes the very essence of each thought, and can transfer his gift to everyone. Some of us are more fortunate than others, when we can connect with him on a different plain, where he bridges that gulf of time and space, it is a true connection, that we are powerless to control, we revel in every moment, the cadence, the tenor, the timbre of each note can take us to another dimension. My heart and soul become one during this embrace, and the feeling is one of pure delight. Thank you Chris, when you gear up, there truly is a disturbance in the force, and it is heavenly, sublime. Rest In Peace in God's grace, my friend, you are truly missed.
