Surprise! Rolling Stone Disses YES once again!

[Earl Grey]

In A Word:YES was given 2 stars in The Rolling Stone's review.

*sigh*

Well, we've come to expect certain things. Though a banner emblazoned with "The Return Of Rock" embellished the cover, touting The Vines new album (Why is it that whenever some freshman unit puts out an album of sloppy three-chord progressions, Rolling Stone decides that rock has yet again evaded death?
All the while, YES has never left, has remained vital and interesting, and is presently touring with primal 'crunch' as well as musical excellence, and not a word is mentioned except for a bad one?).

Appearently Rolling Stone feels the box-set could have contained everything of worth on two CDs. They mentioned that YES was bloated, and has yet to attain the quality found on old tracks like HOTS... I remember RS panning HOTS when it first came out: when did they decide this track was of worth???

Face it. This periodical has turned into a fashion magazine, has little or nothing to do with music, ...unless it's the dispensible sort that will be forgotten in a couple of years. They feel it is their duty to diss anything challenging or of worth. And I don't even know that the kids respect the rag anymore. What a joke. A bad joke.

I'm cancelling my subscription to the thing: it isn't even worthy of the outhouse, corn-cobs work better.

Have you ever seen the parody RS magazine called LIKE A ROLLING STONE? Obviously Dylan's on the cover...A friend of mine has this. It's got some good satire in it.


Rolling Stone was cool long long ago...for at least a few issues anyway. But they've been nothing but trend mongers for most of the past 2 decades....Spin isn't much different either. Myself, I like Ice Magazine. That magazine is informative.

Aren't Rolling Stone and Entertainment weekly both (ultimately) owned by the same people? Didn't they both just dis (I hate that 'word') Yes again? Do we, the real adults in this picture, care?

Some good news. The local music mag in Maine, facde, printed a glowing review of the tweeter show. Check it out at www.facemag.com

Whoops! It's not there yet.. wait until they post the September issue!

I will never buy a magazine where they dis yes. I hate all the articels about YES in german press. Some youngster who spend their weekends in discos visit a yesconcert and then write about it!!! It´s so stupid. maybe I should translate some of that stuff and post it here.
But actaully they will never change our opinion about the band, we´re stronger, aren´t we?

To paraphrase Fleetwood Mac, I would tell Yawn Wiener-"Dont ask me what I think of you, I might not give you the answer you want me to"

Earl,
Save your money my friend,thses publications have been to commercial for twenty-five years or longer.But I will agree with them about the box set to a degree.Why should Yes get five stars when they have rereleased everything so many times.Let Yes record a new ablum and read the reviews and then we can b*tch.I remember Sgt Pepper was slaughtered when it was released.Come on Yes,give us some new music!
