What the heck is Squire playing!?

Check out this vid. What the heck is Chris playing? it looks like a really jacked up musicman/fender hybrid or something! '

Oh, and I'd have to say that this is one of Yes' worse moments....

Squire looks like a throwback to the clash or sex pistols,

Jon is off key for the first eighth of the song.

I can't stand Yes' 80's time. They were missing some important parts, among them was Steve Howe.

Electra Outlaw MPC bass. See:

More views of it here, and a better song to boot (in spite of Trevor Horn on vocals):

Electra MPC.

Horrible recording, turning off Jon's mic would have made it bearable at least. I loved 80's Yes, but that wasn't an enjoyable vid.

Bah, too slow typing...

yeah, the recording sucks. I'm sure they were just as good as ever, but I still think Steve Howe would have made them 100% better. Him and Rick Wakeman. And Squire just looked so freakin' weird in that era.

Yep, the doctor. When you watch the video clip, check out his T-shirt.

Very rarely does an intelligent prog rock act do something that I actually think is stupid. that is stupid.
