Do any of you YES fans wonder IF we would have ever had a "RELAYER" if Wakeman stayed.?

Question

.
I know... weird question, but "Relayer" DOES have a unique approach and a lot is due to Moraz....

Just something to Ponder; Just something for me to do while I am waiting for my laundry to dry ;)

Answer 1

Sure we would have, but it wouldn't have been as good. From what I know of him, Wakeman is stubborn, hard to work with/get along with and I was relieved that the time I saw Yes live, the keyboardist was their original: Tony Kaye.



Each member has their own significant role. Patrick never would have been in the band if he didn't have loads of talent and skills.

Answer 2

I don't know what Relayer would have sounded like with Wakeman, but I'm sure glad Moraz is on it. Nothing against Rick, but I think at that time his and the other band members' musical opinions were sort of opposed, seeing as he spoke out about being bored of playing on the Tales tour and stuff like that, so if they're not all on the same wavelength, it's probably a good thing they didn't try to force it.

Answer 3

For as good a keyboardist as he is, Wakeman can't compose for ****... so god forbid he started demanding more creative jurisdiction and Relayer became Rick Wakeman's Erotic Steak-Sandwich Theatre: Suite I in E# Major
