OT - Yes replacing Jon with some YouTube guy?!

Postby Rockwriter » Tue Sep 09, 2008 10:52 pm

Can this news possibly be correct? WTF?!!!? What is with bands choosing guys from tribute bands from YouTube? Bizarre, absolutely bizarre.

I can't wait for the upcoming shows of YouTubeGuy and Garfunkel! LOL.

From the front page of Melodic Rock today:

Prog rockers Yes (in the wake of Jon Anderson's illness and the subsequent cancellation of this summer's planned U.S. tour) have selected a tribute band singer to replace its iconic frontman. He's Benoit David from the Canadian Yes tribute band Close to the Edge (www.ctte.net). Details at: www.bondegezou.co.uk/wnyesm.htm.
Here is Benoit David singing with Close to the Edge on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3BFuxBayxg.


I'm going to guess that there is much more to this story . . . stay tuned.

It's odd, but at least he sounds good - CTTE is not easy. Actually that whole band is one of the better tribute bands I've heard. THe only other band I think that has a lower tribute turnout is Rush (oh yeah, been there done that lol). I doubt it will be well received by the die hard fans (any other kind left?).

Montreal is a fertile ground for prog rock tribute bands. The Musical Box is from there as well (the only officially sanctioned Genesis tribute band).

I had read that they tried to grab Lawerence Gowan from the tribute band Styx.

Since Lawerence and his tribute band were still on tour he had to decline.

P.S. You are slipping Froy!! This should of been your post.

Nope. Only gets you to the No article. :P

Glad you are back Yogs! Watch out for Ike! He may have a preference for South Texas.
