If you want good solo's from JF go to his solo records.

Definatly his solo work is excellent one of the best guitarists out there, though i think his vocals vork better as harmonies than main.

This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

It's hard to pick a favorite Yes solo. I think it's gotta be either that build up at the end of Trooper, that amazingly weird pedal steel solo from GFTO that sounds like a theremin or that crazy hoedown throwdown from Sound Chaser.

But a minor correction, it's called Return of the Giant Hogweed. Awesome song though. It's probably the closest thing to a "rock" song Genesis ever did.

Really? Iv grown to love his voice. Songs like Carvel, Omission, Wednesdays Song (all of Shadow Collide With People) are great example of this. I mean the guy has a ****ing range twice as big as most female singers. Of coarse I respect your opinion also

(A little more so because of your avatar)

Not to really bash him, but I found him to be just mediocre.

For now, just in the context of the two guitar solos I mentioned (Serve The Servants and In Bloom, and there are 2 or 3 others), my interest is in the way he snuck atonal skronk at earshattering volume onto top-40 radio.

VERNON REID's solo work or with Masque has been unbelievably good for the most part... I think I'll go listen to some when Jimi At Winterland is over!
