Roundabout was extremely interesting but I had a more fondness for south side of the sky. Taking the lead solo near the end of that song was where I fully appreciated his artistry. Moving forward to gates of deliruim and sound chaser I strongly suggested for my then band members to step up the game!

You have a right to be proud of the masterpiece that is YES' fourth album: "Fragile". It is the wonder of 1971, following closely on the heels of YES' third album: The Yes Album, which was a triumph, and the first YES album you played on. Your playing was breakout, with so many cool guitar styles and sounds, you took us to where no music had gone before, and we all rocked out with it for the last 51 years, and it never sounded better! Even the young folks today are appreciating the genius of YES, and you, Steve. Now I am 61, and I listen to YES every day in my car from Bluetooth on my smartphone (smartphones were science fiction 50-years ago in 1972). phone and KZread.

I first heard Roundabout on AM radio, WABC 770, in 1971. I used to get upset when the radio station played the shortened version of Roundabout. Fragile was the very first album I ever bought, and I still have it. Steve Howe in my opinion doesn't get half the recognition he deserves. So sad that the RRHOF only inducted Yes after Chris Squire had passed. They should have been inducted long before some of the other bands who were in there ahead of Yes. Same for ELP, it is a crime that they are still not in the RRHOF. The 2nd album I bought was ELP's Brain Salad Surgery, I still have that one too. I feel blessed to have had such music during my "formative" years, and feel so sad for the kids who have any form of rap music as their formative music.

Around 1981, my parents bought our first VHS machine .. It was definitely an exciting time for a kid of 14, and while we were in the store, they told me that I could pick two VHS tapes to buy : so I chose Lucio Fulci's horror masterpiece "Zombie" and the other was Yes' "YesSongs" live concert ... I had always had a good relationship with my parents, all things considered, but that Yes VHS - with Steve Howe and his mastery of the guitar - was something that really bonded my Dad ( who played guitar and loved Chet Atkins ) and myself ( who was just starting out and loved this new thing called metal ) .. We literally wore that tape out, Dad sitting with his acoustic figuring out how to play Clap and Roundabout ... Without that VHS, I'm not sure I would have had the same lifelong friendship that I did with my Dad

He damn well should be proud of Fragile. It’s a top five of all time. Just mesmerizing. Thanks Mr. Howe

It's great to actually hear Steve Howe speak. Extremely tight and musically complex. To me they really launched prog rock as a thing. While other bands compete in listen-ability, depth, and audacity. I don't think anyone quite matched Yes in terms of tightness and musical complexity. And if they did, I haven't found them as listenable.

One of my all time favourite guitarists can play it all, amazing guitarist, produced some superb stand alone guitar moments, one of the all time greats, so much better than the ten a penny shredders, he is just class

The best overall guitarist. And certainly the best guitar 'composer' of all time. IMPO.

I'm a fan of Steve Howe, but saying he's the best guitar composer of all time is just an opinion. Steve may be a more technically sound instrumentalist than, for instance Jorma Kaukonen, but Jorma's "Embryonic Journey", "Mann's Fate", and "Water Song" are beautiful compositions in their own right that are unique, original, and just as pleasing to the ear as "Mood for a Day", etc.

Eddy was pretty much a member of the band at times, I had never heard Steve mention he was extra tight with him before but not surprised. I am guessing Steve is still an expert on tape splicing. Huge fan of Steves musical adventurous travels, if only the subsequent 70s records were equally well engineered.

Steve Howe . A Giant amongst his contemporaries. I remember purchasing Fragile . Everything from the Cover. The Music. That intro to Round a Bout. So Catchy. Steve Howe is right up there. Very gifted and Tasteful. Especially the Classic Lineup. You had Steve Hacket with Genesis. David Gilmour with Pink Floyd. Robert Fripp with King Crimson . Steve Howe with YES. Zappa. Doesn't get better. Howe stands with them all. Pillars of Prog .

@@jazzguitartoday You got it. Steve is a very unique player. He does things on the guitar no one else would even think of yet, he uses all the same tools any other great player would. His sense of movement in and out of chord changes is sort of mind-bending and leaves you wondering how the heck is he that good. Almost like a guy from another planet that happens to play a guitar.

Steve is a master.

I met him many years ago - he was in a band called Bodast with Dave Curtiss and then did a couple of recordings with Curtiss Maldoon. He was a very nice guy and an extremely accomplished guitarist.

I seen him live at the Magic Bag in Detroit some 30 yrs.ago...A fan yelled out "I love you Steve !" He replied back -"I cant say that I share the same sentiment" lol..Great ground- breaking Player, but thats what I always remembered about him too ..
