Oh my god, he’s not only a brilliant singer…he is one hell of a cool defendant. Calm, articulate…even eloquent. It would not have disappointed me if he had whipped out a guitar and started singing “Never Comes The Day” to the court.
And to think Justin only had ONE wife, Marie from when he was 20 to present time. And 1 daughter, Doremi Hayward. Look at mick jagger, he had 10 gfs/wives and assorted kids..Not Judging mick since ladies go after him and niw that he is 81, he has many to care for him
Sad this had to happen. Moraz added to their sound starting with the Octave tour. All the original members sang and wrote songs. Patrick was only a musician. Patrick also joined Yes and he was replaced when Rick Wakeman decided to rejoin.
Mike Pinder left on his own decision but Justin Hayward and John Lodge had stated they were shattered after he left and it took years for them to accept the fact that he is never coming back to the Group when he left. But they continued to remain on mutual terms with Mike Pinder even until his death recently. They always stated that Mke Pinder will always be one of the 5 Members in the Group not Patrick Moraz. Honestly they should have disbanded after Mike Pinder left them. I was never a serious fan of their Patrick Moraz Era stuff. Then again I'm not a serious fan of any music after 1980.
Yep. The five members were the definitive band. The magic ended when one of them left. As far as I'm concerned, from then it was Justin and his backing band.
This lawyer doesn't seem to be terribly au fait with the general way of British politeness when he asks, essentially, why Mr Hayward didn't talk trash about Mr Moraz. I met Mr Hayward's mother once or twice. She was a lovely, polite lady. She actually came into our office to ask whether we would mind if she parked on the public road outside our building. There was absolutely no need to ask, it was a public road, she didn't need our permission, and plenty of people used to park outside our office daily. She was the only person who had ever made a point of coming into the office to ask if we'd mind. Perhaps her polite nature was passed on to her son, eh, Mr Hotshot Lawyer. Decent people do exist who don't make a point of slagging other people off if it can possibly be avoided. It's called tact, just in case you aren't aware of it, Mr Hotshot.
This lawyer tried his best to de-rail Justin and failed miserably. His questioning was poor to say the least and Justin answered to the point, immaculately and without malice. I bet Patrick wished he’d accepted the $400,000 offered before trial… he was doing other projects anyway and it’s bonkers he took it this far.
YES had a problem with Moraz getting too big for his boots after the Relayer album and wanted him out of the band. He is a very talented keyboard player without doubt but there’s more to being in a band than just musical skill.
A bit of a guess here, but I believe the answer is the "work performed" was largely in North America both in terms of studio and touring work. Plus Moraz is a Florida resident.
@@peterf1 That's where the lawsuit was filed because Moraz was living in the US. As Peter1 said, some of the work was performed in the US giving it jurisdiction.
I have been a fan of the Moody Blues since 1969. I loved Mike Pinder's mellotron and when the MB made their Long Distance Voyager album, it was great. But Moraz's music was not as good. I'm sorry but that's my opinion.
