Before Anderson and Squire approached Steve Howe to join the band, they asked Bob Fripp, who was once again having trouble making a band. He said "no." Good thing to - there'd be no Yes as we know it or King Crimson as we know it. And besides, that just wouldn't have worked. Can you imagine those two dictators trying to get along? Yes barely survived the dictator rivalry of Anderson/Rabin.

Eddie Jobson was the original keyboardist for the 90125 band, but left and they got Tony Kaye. You can see Eddie in the original "Owner of a Lonely Heart" video, but not the remake with Kaye, of course.

The original line-up of Asia - Geoff Downes, Carl Palmer, John Wetton, Steve Howe, and... Trevor Rabin! That's right, Asia originally had two guitarists, but reportedly Howe and Rabin couldn't get along. Hmm... Irony raises it's ugly head once again.

After Wakeman left the group in 1995, Pat Moraz called Jon Anderson and offered his services. Anderson told him "no" and they went and searched for a new keyboardist and found Igor. Man, Anderson must have really had a bad experience with that guy. Too bad. He's the best keys player Yes ever had.




I'm sure I have more.
