Great bass guitarist.
That bassline is so good it makes me laugh out loud. It sounds like hes playing a chainsaw through a megaphone into a vat of yogurt. He used to output his bass into two amps simultaneously , one bass amp and one guitar amp. Thats how he got his flappy sound. Him and Bill Bruford were an amazing rhythm section. A sad day.

Yes were my favourite band by a mile in my teenage years. 'Close to the Edge' is the definitive progressive rock album of all time, produced by five musical geniuses, and it has retained pride of place on my car hi fi ever since. I remember seeing a documentary on prog rock a year or two ago in which Bill Bruford said "when we came to the end of recording, I thought, OK, that's it, we might as well all pack up and go home now, there's nothing else we can do, it doesn't get any better than that". Too true.
Any youngsters reading this who want to know what prog rock was all about, listen in order to The Yes Album, Fragile and Close to the Edge.
God bless you, Chris, RIP.

I am deeply saddened to hear this news.

Do you know Rick Wakemans got a show on Planet Rock on a Sunday morning Mke? He tells loads of tales,it's only on for a couple of more weeks though.
And while we're at it, here's one for Yes nuts which I just found on U-Tube, hadn't seen it before. Type in "Rick Wakeman - close to the edge (on piano)."
More musical ability in one of his arsehole hairs than Kayne West's got in his entire body.

Wakeman does a good few interpretations of yes tracks. I was doubtful to say the least but he is superb at it.
As to Chris Squire; for me the best song supporting bass player I've ever heard. As someone else said....him and Bruford....I still love the first part of heart of the sunrise with just the two of them.

If you get the chance, read Rick Wakeman's book. It's hilarious. Great drunken stories and some mad things happened on tour.
A very funny bloke and a great raconteur. The story about the trumpet player in a white suit struggling to hit a big high note after one beer too many had me in tears...
