Rip Chris. One of the greats - and a great guy

[pedrodellallibera]

Chris Squire is the reason I play the bass. There's no better player to look up to as a bassist IMO

[nyobunknown]

The fact that Squire played such intricate Bass lines in such complicated music made his work that much more impressive.

[relativeparadox]

Yes. What an incredible collection of talented people.

RIP Chris, from T.Lorenz, a bass and Y3S fan from day 1 one 1968- now 2024.

[jaspergillgannon]

He played bass parts as their own melody to counterpoint the other instruments, he almost never just only held the beat down.

[andrewpappas]

Chris was one of the reasons why I now own a Rickenbacker, his tone was definitely iconic as hell

[freddiesoverbite]

Chris Squire is the reason I began playing the bass

[cliffords]

I Picked up his secrets and equipment back in 1970 Rickenbacker 4001 Rottosounds, with Two Fender Dual Showmans JBL
15's ran in Stereo out, one amp for the bridge pickup and the other amp for the neck pickup, using stereo output with
Y conectors, years later i got HIWATT 200's to replace the Dual Showmans, later Sunn Collesiums and SVT's in the 80s
also a Leslie Speaker for some of the songs
Christ showed his equipment choises and bass in Hit Parader Magazine in 1970

Chris was the bassist I admired most. Still do. His artistry was simply amazing. RIP Chris.

IMHO, Chris Squire was the best compositional bass player ever recorded. His bass lines were melodic and exciting. Couple that with the incredible sound he developed, I think its difficult to peg any player as being superior to his musicality.

[charlesnill]

Chris’s playing is so melodic and rhythmic at the same time! All that and dancing around the stage and singing harmony to Jon Anderson! He’s one of my top ten musical inspirations of all time…

[DrTomoculus]

He's the best bassist Britain produced of his generation. Thanks for the video highlighting why :)

[tiagorabelo]

Chris Squire ❤

The greatest of all times

[Cesarpena]

Squire’s bass lines and tone took Yes’ music to another level. Super creative and surprising. Not to mention his background vocals and compositions.

[juanjavierm]

This has been one of the saddest and unfair losts in rock music. Ever. I still miss him....😔

[paulsimmons]

Chris Squire was the most influential of the first generation of electric bassists; his tone and approach were magical!
RIP Chris Squire!

Good video, thanks for posting!

[pensnut]

100% dead on.... When you heard a Chris Squire bass line.... You knew who it was IMMEDIATELY!

[davep]

I regret that I have but one upvote to give to this video.
It must've been so bittersweet when Geddy got to play on _Roundabout_ at the RRHoF induction. I'll bet anything that he wished he hadn't had to.
But he should've played his Rick!
I loved Geddy's line: ~Without Yes there would be no Rush.~

[Heatherofscots]

Good luck sounding like Chris ;) Truly an innovator and virtuoso. My favorite musician of all time. RIP
