Chris's Nickname

[remembering]

I don't know if the guys still use Fish as Chris's nickname. My understanding of why he got this is that when Yes first started Chris was always in the bath. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

[ANTIOCH]

Yes, this is the story I've heard for years. I've also heard Rick refer to Chris as 'Fishy', but I don't know what nicknames they're using these days . . probably the same ?!

[Jackaranda]

That's right.

Also, Tempus Fugit was aimed at Chris because he apparently had trouble being on time for anything.

[mattquarterstein]

Maybe he was in the bath during the Tormato sessions, which would explain the underwater bass sound. ;)

[Thoughtbecontact]

Yes, Chris is referred to as "The Fish" by some individuals close to the band.

[SallyKhatru]

LOL, this is fun. I heard somebody has met Chris in his bath robe( don't know the right word, hoe you know what I eman) before a concert once:-) Don't think Fish wear such:-)

[Kevin Still]

Bath... Shower... I have heard the same thing about him. Squire is something else from what I understand. I think if I knew him personally I would really dig partying with him.

[rememberer]

On Chris' website http://chrissquire.com/ under "News" there's an interview you can listen to - February 09, 2004, "Discussing 'Long Distance Runaround', 'Heart of the Sunrise', 'South Side of the Sky' and being called Fish." Same story about Bill Bruford calling him that because they shared a room and Chris was always in the bath. "Plus I'm a Pisces" I think Chris says in the interview. Trevor Horn said, "We call him the Fish" on the Drama tour when he was introducing the song, "The Fish"...

[The Fish]

I would just like to point out that I am not Chris Squire and am in no way related to him. I just use the Nickname. And I dont bath nor do I know one end from a Rickenbacker from another. :cheers: :bncy:

:dog:

[TTT]

I hope you bathe once in awhile ;)

[umgekehrt]

"Fishy writes some good songs" :D

Maybe whataplava could answer this question more satisfactorily

[Original_Shifty]

I hope you bathe once in awhile ;)

He probably means that he has showers instead of baths.

This is a great thread! I've indeed met Chris in his Bath rob! :lmao: His room was accross from mine in San Jose on the 35th tour. It was quite a nite to remeber, except I remeber little of it... :cheers:

[Timmo]

Remember his solo album is "Fish Out of Water."

It makes sense if you think about it. He's "Fish" and he's "out of water," ie., not playing with Yes.

[RatFishes2]

He's Turtle Tongue not fish.....what are you guys thinking about. Forget fish it's turtles. The next solo album will be Turtles without Tongues.

[smatt]

Turtle Tongue....... :lmao:

That'll be a good one...... Chris' new album "Turtle in the Mud" "Turtle out of Shell" "The Naked Turtle" "Turtle Love" :lol:

[Thoughtbecontact]

Could it be Teenaged Mutant Ninja Squires? Or Middle Aged Mutant Ninja Squires?

[smatt]

"Turtle Fish"

[Squire*Fan725]

SLOW AND STEADY WINS EVERY TIME!!!! :valintine

Heheheheheheheh...Turtles...I love it....

[Thoughtbecontact]

How about this...is Chris the YesWURM too?

And here's another animal....giraffe. After all, Chris is tall.

BTW, you should have seen Sarah feeding the giraffes t the Wild Animal Park on Sunday. Such incredible tongues those animals have!

[RatFishes2]

Could it be Teenaged Mutant Ninja Squires? Or Middle Aged Mutant Ninja Squires?

I love this....Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Tongues. OMG that is so funny. I'm going to call him that all night.

Arlene, give your baby girl a big kiss from me.

[Timmo]

Or Middle Aged Mutant Ninja Squires?Chris seems to have cheated middle age quite nicely. I don't think it should be part of his nickname!

[RatFishes2]

:stand: (turtle tongue)

[TurtleTongue]

Yes Scotty, that is a true likeness, if I do say so myself!

[Squire*Fan725]

:stand: (turtle tongue)

CUTE!!!

[fovman]

Squire is "The Fish" because of the tub....correct.

....but he is also coincidentally a Pisces.(the fish)

I remember everything.:slap:

[Dances w/PURPLE]

I remember everything.:slap:

Did you take pics? hee hee Good friends take pics but keep them from prying eyes. I've got one photo of a friend in drag. I'll never tell!! (grins)

I read about this bathtub story in a book...can't think of the name at the moment.

[jim1961]

I might add that Bill Bruford was rather annoyed at Chris for his lengthy waterings.......He seemed to feel it was the greatest insult imaginable to make others wait, and make them late.

[smatt]

Strange at it may seem....... Chris hates bathes...... He likes showers......

[Roan's Lady]

How do YOU know?

Maybe he likes fish and chips too !

[open windows]

Also his solo album, "Fish" out of water!

[Timmo]

Such a brilliant album, and brilliantly titled.

Fish out of water = Chris doing something other than Yes.

[witeskyn7]

Oddly enough though this is the YES trivia section,

FISH from MARILLION also got his name from

the taking of lengthy bathes!!!

[90125yes]

bit fishy all this
