Trevor is a top level musician, composer, singer. joining Yes in the 80s was a tremendous streak of luck for both.

@Paul71H Год назад

If Trevor goes on tour, I hope he will play "Endless Dream" from Talk. It's one of the most overlooked and underrated Yes songs. (And I say that as someone who's more of a 1970s Yes fan.)

@richboshart1201 Год назад

That album is so underrated.

@cletusbeauregard1972 Год назад

Dude, that song was incredible live on that 1994 tour. The highest point of a night filled with them.

@framundajohnson2186 Год назад

Endless Dream can’t be played without Jon and Chris.

@Paul71H Год назад

@@framundajohnson2186 I'd still love to hear it, but I agree that it would be better with Jon and Chris. Maybe we'll also get a chance to hear Jon perform this song with the Band Geeks, if they do another tour.

@jyutzler 10 месяцев назад

@@richboshart1201 I am surprised to see the love for Talk. I got it from the cutout bin over 20 years ago, never got into it, and got rid of it. I've since streamed it, but it still hasn't stuck.

@Mellis-qx7os 10 месяцев назад

Amazing album it is! Thanks for the interview😃

@salmonline Год назад

Can't Look Away is one of my all time favorite albums.👍

@leo3521 Год назад

Trevor is the reason why I got into Yes music when I was a kid and the reason why I am the most hated Yes fan in ortodox Yes forums and groups. Trevor is perhaps the real architect of the modern progresive rock sound, a truly gifted musician.

@bbowman105 8 месяцев назад

Completely agree. The Trevor albums are pretty much the only Yes albums I listen to. Talk is so underrated.

@theflymo 6 месяцев назад

Progressive music fans can be odd. Not everyone likes it, but progressive bands by definition need to... progress. Yes always moved onwards and in my view Trevor Rabin was such a perfect fit for that stage of their evolution- able to compose, sing, shred, domainte a track and sit at the back supporting all in the same song. I appreciate Yes in all its incarnations- early, mid, late. I couldn't choose a favourite, but even Trevor Horn and the Drama era were amazing.

@erickvermeulen9734 Год назад

Great interview. He must have to endure many boring interviews, but seems to me your diving into his classical background at the start really broke the ice. And he is such a friendly and empathic guy.

@MW-hm9ub 5 месяцев назад

Rio is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard. He is so talented. Every song on this new record is a masterpiece. Thanks Trevor for inspiring me musically. I still can’t believe how high you can sing at your age. Mind blowing.

@brianreynolds4931 11 месяцев назад

Hi Doug, I found your channel looking fir more information about Rabin’s Rio. I can’t stop listening to Rio. I think it is the best of 2023! Thank you for sharing this interview!

@ramai8724 Год назад

Great interview Doug. One of your USPs is that you are a classically trained/educated composer, interviewing other classically trained composers who have found a pathway into another elaborate form of popular music. Those conversations of a common origin and parallel journeys are quite captivating. You should try to get an interview with Rick Wakeman on that basis. Rick always has multiple projects on the go and has a wealth of really unique entertaining stories. You’ve just spoke with one of his mates here, who I’m sure will give you his blessing.

Saw Trevor on the YES Big Generator tour and then again on the ARW tour. He is phenomenal live. I'm a big fan of his solo work too. This was a great interview Doug!! Well done.

Great job, Doug. Trevor seemed truly appreciative of your thoughtful questions. And man am I glad to see Trevor doing a vocal album. Jacaranda is great, but I love Trevor's voice as well. I hope he feels like staying in this lane for a while

@bastidface 11 месяцев назад

I agree with Trevor that politics shouldn't be mixed with music, especially in this day and age where labels have become incredibly toxic and polarizing. Music should bring people together, never divide.

@Kimo-gt6vs 11 месяцев назад

Great Interview! Trevor should do more interviews with you. It was great to hear his stories & you had good chemistry. I'd love it if Trevor did a 2nd album in the epic orchestral style of Oklahoma where he mixed his movie expertise with song and emotion. Just love his slide guitar sounds also. The song "Fragile" he did with ARW was the best "Yes" song to come out in years. I was so bummed when they didn't do a full album together. Just love this new song Oklahoma.

@armandopetrini Год назад

Great interview with a fantastic Guitar Player and, first of all,Great Musician..so excited to hear his new record..i grew up listening 90125 by Yes!

@yesspazsmith9895 Год назад

1. Great interview. Thank you from a lifelong Yes fan who goes by Yesspaz. 2. His instrumental album "Jacaranda" is superb, and so is "Can't Look Away." 3. You still have four Yes epics to do. The next one chronologically is "Endless Dream," Trevor's big Yes epic from 1994's "Talk." I'd love to hear you react to that one.

@paulnickson7239 Год назад

What fantastic interview, Trevor is such a lovely guy, been a fan since 90125. I was so excited about this album, it came yesterday and I agree it could be the album of the year, sounds amazing, would love to see him tour, I saw him in Manchester with ARW and it was a fantastic show.

@richboshart1201 Год назад

I’ve always been a fan and have always admired his work. Downloaded Rio from iTunes this morning and can’t wait to listen to it this evening. First though, I wanted to reacquaint myself with I Can’t Look Away, which I listened to on the commute to/from work. Brilliant music that was ahead of its time. Please do tour Trevor!!!

@DarrinSnider Год назад

Great questions, some never asked to my knowlede, and you actually let the guest ramble and talk, unlike most "professional" interviewers. Awesome!

@fordcottoniii8972 Год назад

Great interview with Trevor - I definitely learned a few things about him. What a great guy! And what an emotional time to live through - I was in grad school when the bombing happened. I wrote a short piece of music for a sound synthesis class that I was in at the time and dedicated it to the victims of the bombing. During the time it was played, it started raining and became very windy. I'll never forget it. Ever.

@theaugustempire9966 Год назад

We are super blessed to be adding some vocals on a couple songs of this masterpiece by Trevor. Get RIO now it is stunning from start to finish!! Great interview Doug :)

@bobirvin7991 8 месяцев назад

Hi Doug. Just watched this. It was awsome. Great questions. What an opportunity to directly speak with Trevor. Have you ever listened to the 90's Yes album: Talk ? It will blow you away. It so laced with Trevor all over it. He probably composed the whole album. Give it a listen.

@tonys2899 Год назад

Thanks Doug! I just drove down to to Rock Hall (15 min from my house) and watched a 2 hr interview with Trevor, and talked to him for a few min and got a signed CD of the new album!! 😊 I wish you could have made it! I wouldn't have known about it if it wasn't for your interview yesterday.

I've literally just discovered Schoenberg thanks to this chat, so thanks to both of you for that! I plucked first search "Verklärte Nacht, Op.4 - Boulez" from the archive. What an incredibly expressive fellow! To the matter at hand what an unexpected interview Doug! Good to see Trevor coming back with a new album. I'm a fan of his work and know he's pretty prolific with his output in unexpected places (lol), but I hadn't realised that the new album was his first solo led album since "Can't Look Away" (I've been enjoying your Dream Theater album reviews and IMHO this album is an absolute must for you to have a look at).

@MrChepburn Год назад

Doug - love the channel ! Great interview with Trevor Rabin - what a nice guy - and in my opinion one of the most talented people EVER in prog rock ( I know this is blasphemous to "classic" Yes fans - but the albums he did with Yes are my favorites - still in heavy rotation on my listening list). As a Canadian - I have a suggestion for your progressive listening enjoyment - Not sure if you have ever heard of Saga ? Truely amazing and underrated prog rock band from Canada ( they actually have a huge cult following in Germany for some reason ?! ) - They have an impressive catalogue ( IMHO their first 4 albums are all brilliant ! ) - but I would suggest a good place to start is with their 1978 eponymous debut album "Saga" - and for their better known hits - the 2021 "The Best of Saga" - cheers!

@rpollack72 Год назад

Great interview! I knew he had done some film scores but I had no idea how many until I researched his discography. The Great Raid is a great film so I will probably start with that one.

@fredwds5178 Год назад

I’m looking forward to hearing Trevor Rabin’s newest work based on your glowing review. I’m curious to see how it impacts me compared to other recent Prog releases. Steven Wilson’s much hyped Harmony Codex was the big news story, but Advent Horizon’s A Cell to Call Home flew in below the radar and it is outstanding! Give that one a listen Doug; it’s the prog album of 2023 in my mind.

@asharmstrong6730 Год назад

My first encounter with Rabin was when he played a support slot with Steve Hillage on the UK Open tour in 1979. Trevor's album at the time was Face to Face. No one knew of him here at the time.

@cletusbeauregard1972 Год назад

Congrats to Trevor on an absolute MFer of an album.

@WayneKitching Год назад

I listened to the album yesterday and it is amazing! It sounds so much like Yes. Are the lyrics available anywhere online? I'd like to read through them.

Bilder Videor Shopping Böcker Nyheter Kartor Flyg Ekonomi Alla filter Sökresultat Översättningsresultat Svenska Engelska Hi Doug, I really enjoyed the interview with Trevor. I listened to him a lot in the eighties, especially the Wolf album. I sold my large record collection in the mid-nineties, and unfortunately there are some artists who don't have all their albums on Spotify. And Trevor's album Wolf is one of them. I find it very interesting to watch your videos on RU-vid, although I have no idea what chords and so on you are talking about. I'm almost tone deaf, can't play any instrument either, but I really like music. And to hear an artist talk about his musical life like Trevor did, it's a gold mine for me. Good job Dough, I'd love to see more of that

@stevemonnot8218 Год назад

Great episode. I'm a big Trevor Rabin fan. Side note: If you've never been to the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial, you should make time to go. It's heart-wrenching, but worth the trip. The buildings you see in the beginning of the "Oklahoma" video are from the Memorial site.

"Oklahoma" isn't a sing along. It's about 168 people (including 19 children) who died in Oklahoma City in 1995. As an interviewer, and knowing the history, starting with this track might have been a good starting point. I've been to the memorial. It's heart breaking. I'm a huge fan of Trevor Rabin. Big fan of Rabbitt, Yes, Solo work and ARW. Thrilled he has a new album out. Thank You for sharing your conversation. Unfortunately, the feelings from 1995 are the same as they are today. Utter sadness. Here's a link to the video of "Oklahoma" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NzN62Oouhyo.htmlsi=b-jyFnGPHMpn74Ex

@Bristolcentaurus Год назад

the significance of 9:01? reference to 90125? or is it the minute before the Oklahoma Federal Building bombing? interesting coincidence. 9:03 being the minute after. the blocks remind me of Kubrick's obelisks in Space Odyssey. the sad thing is the US does not seem to be learning from the issues related to the Federal Building and ideology behind it.
