stoooop I’m so happy rn because my sound professor told a story about Yes and Rick Wakeman 😭

I’ll share it later!

im so frequent to rant but its a little different now, so hehe, enjoy my lovely and delirious personal essay breaking down going for the one by yes [1977] song by song :>

for some background, this was when the band were tax exiles in switzerland [not the first time iirc but thats a different story] and what makes it funnier is that they recorded in the same studio as emerson, lake and palmer [who were working overtime on works], [they [elp] moved to another rehearsal space for a few weeks].

this was also the return of rick wakeman after his previous departure from the band after tales of topographic oceans; and he was surprised to see how much the band had changed over the time he had left. patrick moraz was let go; jon thought “[moraz] just wasn’t playing like he was involved”, that his sound wasn’t on par with the rest of the band’s, “and that affected his vibe…” [basically he was let go because he didn’t pass the vibe check]

also i do have to add that their original sound mixer [who i won’t name] left to work with other bands because he believed the the band’s style became ‘a bit stale’. which uh. they probably proved him wrong because gfto is peak and who ever mixed this album a raise [there were several heated arguments about the use of echo on the album, but thats not what im talking about rn]

Genuine question, what color are Chris's eyes? To me, I feel like they are a different color in every photo I see him in

Tony being silly while Jon is answering a question (feat. Chris)

Y'all the way my sound design professor has the masters (Original Studio Recording) of Queen's Bohemian Rapsody and the real ending of the song is Freddie going "Ah fuck it!" He said he would give us the masters at the end of the quarter????? (he also has a lot of other bands) and if we take his mixing class we could mix the masters including Bohemian Rapsody????

Sadly I can't post it though due to copyright :(

but W professor tbh

Happy birthday to the amazing talented extraordinary Neil Peart!!!

A message from the Gaza Strip to our honorable people in the world My name is Abdul Rahman from Gaza.. I lost everything in life.. My wife was martyred and my child and I were injured by a missile that fell on us.. My life was completely destroyed and I was severely injured all over my body, especially my legs.. The missile tore my wife apart while she was carrying our child.. I ask for your support to start my life anew and overcome the tragedy I am going through.. Please help me with any amount, no matter how small, to treat my injury and my child's injury and get out of the Gaza Strip and start a better life.. And spread my campaign and my story so that everyone can see it

Please spread this message to bring more awareness to the situation in Gaza!!!
