Trevor Rabin

[Don]

Probably in the minority but I've always preferred him over Steve Howe. I've been listening to his last solo album, Jacaranda. A jazz record, primarily but a little bit of everything sprinkled in.

If it makes you feel better, I much prefer Trevor Rabin to Steve Howe. I am sure there are others here who feel the same way. Never listened to Jacaranda, as I'm really not into jazz, but was a big fan of Trevor Rabin era Yes.

I saw him a few years ago but it was only for the encore at a Yes show at the Greek Theatre. Up to that point, the opener, Peter Frampton had pretty much stole the show. Trevor came out and it was like magic even if it was only for one song.
It looks as if Rabin has done very well in the soundtracks business.

What song did he do with them? Owner? Changes?

Yes both. Second album with them was also successful.

Owner Of A lonely Heart. Not my favorite song but like Journey's DSB, the crowd dictates that it has to be the encore number like it or not. He didn't stick around for Starship Trooper.

Apples to oranges. Steve's awesome with Yes up through Drama. Some of the best guitar playing you'll hear on record in that decade.

Trevor kills, too, but he wasn't able to show it as much with Yes. I think that's why he got bored and left after that piece o' shit Talk album. And the next one (with Sherwood) might be the worst thing they ever put out. Fortunately, they got Wakeman and Howe back and recorded the music for both volumes of Keys To Ascension.

I actually prefer "Talk" to the other Yes albums Rabin was on except for "90125". You're right about "Open Your Eyes", though...Terrible. The music on both KTA albums was certainly a breath of fresh air.

There's nothing on Talk like "Shoot High, Aim Low" or "Final Eyes" or even "Leave It" (LOL). They performed "Walls" on Letterman and it was ghastly.

Jacaranda is great. Get it if you don't have it.

Rabin wasn't on "Open Your Eyes", but it was definately a weak Yes album. Most of the record is cast offs from other solo projects.

Trevor Rabin fans should definitely buy a CD called "Can't Look Away." It's the YES album they never recorded. Awesome.
Also -- check out the 90125 LIVE CD where he plays a track called "Make It Easy" as a pre-amble to "Owner of a Lonely Heart." You won't miss Steve Howe for long once you listen....

Im a huge fan of Rabin and greatly prefer him in Yes over the crypt keeper.
I, personally, never liked the Keeper's playing....I find his phrasing to be awkward and his technical execution borders on arthritic.

For some fun, do some internet searching on what kind of a colossal prima-donna asshole the Crypt Keeper is -- especially his hatred towards Rabin during the Union tour.

It's no mystery that Rick Wakeman and Trevor Rabin are literally the two coolest guys that have ever been in Yes. They even hung out together and drove the way between shows on the Union tour, while the other guys flew. I still hope the 'RAW" (Rabin-Anderson-Wakeman) project happens one of these years.

I agree....and the crypt keeper is one of the most uptight, dickbags to ever strap 6-strings over his shoulder.
