Alan Esdaile… Another Great musician, very sad news.
Jim Breeds… It’s like playing skittles lately 🙁 I guess they are all getting to a certain age.
Chris Meachen… Shocked & saddened, another huge talent lost…
John Wilde… Thank you Chris. You were a gentleman when we met. still in awe of your contribution. Journey on good Soul.
Graham Burfield… a great loss to the music world
Graham Belchamber… Very sad news.
Andy Qunta… One of the very best bass players I’ve ever heard. Was fortunate to meet him a couple of times, and he was a lovely fella. RIP.
David Miller… It’s been a pleasure…bless you on the journey.
Leigh Wieland-Boys… Sad news
Steve Kinch… A real influence on me. A true one off!
Barry M Dyke… Steve, that explains your skills. Where did Gaz miss out?
Mark Gilham… Another legend lost 🙁
Lucy Pappas… So sad, a great musician
Sarah Harvey… This is sadly becoming all too frequent. Its all so sad :-{
Jim Breeds…. I only saw Yes the one time – at Glastonbury in maybe 2004, 5 or 6. I think Chris Squire was in the lineup. Rick Wakeman certainly was, unusually! On the Jazz stage I think. I know the sun beat down with a vengeance, unusually for Glasto. Superb stuff. I just checked – Yes’s August 2015 gig will be the first that Squire didn’t play at, so he was at Glasto.
Andy Qunta… Sorry to hear about the passing of Chris Squire. Met him briefly a couple of times, and seemed to be a lovely fella! He is one of the greatest bass players I’ve ever heard. However, “bass player” is not enough to describe him, as that would put him in a category with many others, whereas I would put him in a category of two – him and John Entwhistle. They were the first players of the rock era, in my opinion, that brought bass playing to the fore, playing lead lines as much as bass lines. Thanks for the music and the inspiration, Chris! RIP!
Phil Gill… A sad loss and a one off in terms of bass playin. He was a huge influence on me and inspiration for my seminal forays into the dark arts of bass playing.
Alan Wood…. How sad,still full of life last year at the Albert Hall,RIP
Dennis Torrance… Just watching Who on tv, just seen news, totally gutted, am Yes fan
Paul Dove… Yet another legend gone sad day
Iain Cobby… My reason for buying a Rickenbacker 4001 back in the mid 70’s. My 4004 now has a black ribbon on it. This man defined the instrument with his innovative lines, and lets not forget his vox. with Jon Anderson their harmony’s were peerless in creating that Yes sound.
“All those moments, lost in time, like tears in rain” thanks for you legacy Chris, R.I.P.
Jim Breeds… Brian May on Chris Squire. Fascinating read about the connection between Yes and Queen.
