Chris Squire, Rest in Peace

Very sad to hear that. The legacy of he and Yes should survive for quite a long time though I would hope.

One of the best bass players ever. I have had the pleasure of seeing Yes live several times and Squire's musicianship and song writing ability laid the foundation for very complex works. It takes real skill for a bass player to perform as the lead instrument in long solos that maintain the audience's interest- particularly when surrounded by other talented band mates like Anderson, White, Wakeman,and Howe. John Entwistle did it with the Who and Chris Squire certainly made his mark in the rock and roll genre. Most of all, I think that I will miss Squire's originality proving that rock can be more than just three cords. I guess I will order the new "progeny' disc from their 1972 tour.

Misspelled "chords'...sorry.

A true loss who will be greatly missed from a group that should have been in the Rock Hall years ago. I'll have to listen to The Fish in memoriam.

One definitely didn't hang around with us for too long. Wish he could stay longer. RIP Chris.
