  • Good!

  • Watched this video once again, man this is your best cover, you just merged into the songs.... fantastic! :-) Fly form here is just such a great song, I'll dare to say one of Yes finest!

  • Excellente, mi amigo! Thanks, Miguel, for making this. For any Yes fan -- such as myself -- it is truly a gift. Your editing and blending of moving images compliments the heart of the music perfectly. Your musicianship is phenomenal. Rock on!

  • спасибо что любите YES

  • @konogogoroff spasibo vam chto posmotreli moi klip. s novym godom

  • Your tone is very close to Chris'. But Chris have some more treble, I think. His secret is his gear, not only EQ, of course.

  • @SgtZaqq Yes you're right. And the out-of-the-packet rotosounds have a lot of more treble!

  • Miguel, you really enlightened me as to how extraordinary Chris Squire's bass line is, and how skillfully you have mastered his awesome technique! I've always loved Chris' playing, but hearing it more on top rather than somewhat beneath the other leads gives me a much stronger appreciation of him and of YES as a whole (whatever the lineup happens to be at the time). Keep up the great work...after all, we need for YESmusic to live on forever!

  • @CHICAGOANDBEACHBOYS1 Thank you very much. I hope somewhere in time we'll get access to the isolated tracks just like it's starting to happen on some new software products. Still I enjoy the challenge to try and figure out what's being played. Happy New Year!

  • you are FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

  • @Brazilady Muito obrigado!

  • que feos tus efectos

  • @RHCParian Thanks for watching! Feliz Ano Novo!

  • Ué?!? Não havia visto esse video ainda, Miguel! Muito bom! (só pra variar!)

  • @bufferin tchin tchin! :)

  • OMG Classic Rock Survived until 2011! YES, KILL JB NOW111111!eleven1!!!

  • Nice job, as usual (nice video graphics, too).

  • @JoeMaurone Thank you very much, Joe. Happy New Year.

  • you`re not Miguelbass but Miguel "Squire" .-) Excellent job! congrats!

  • @xtreschws Thanks :))) Happy New Year!

  • Is that bass pedals?

  • @jah574 Yes. A midi pedalboard triggering bass pedals' sounds. Thanks

  • It's hard listening to "Fly From Here" now because your extra bass parts are missing.  ; )

  • I nominate Miguel to take over for Chris's place in YES in the event Chris ever leaves. The band has always said there will always be a YES band as members will get on and off the bus. Miguel completely mastered the YES songs. Who else AGREES with my nomination??

    You know, I've played YES bass for 20 years and every time I watch Miguel- I learn something I missed in my ability to replicate Chris's notes. Damn!

  • @1wizardofx I completely agree with that. Miguel would make a much better replacement for Chris than Benoit is for John. Perfect emulation. See you with YES in 8 or 9 years Miguel. : )

  • @67and68 Thanks :) Happy New Year.

  • @1wizardofx Let's hope Chris will be around for many many years. Thanks for your words and Happy New Year!

  • Great as always !!!

  • @rockprivado Thank you very much for watching!

  • Oi, Miguel... for your next flight of fantasy, why don't you pretend that you're Jon Anderson and DISAPPEAR!

  • Excellent... as always !

  • @UllysesJoyce Belated thank you for watching!

  • Miguel! Parabéns pela execução....fantástico!!!

    Gostaria de saber se você usa algum tipo de compressor ou simulador de amplificadores?

  • @bruxabaratuxa Oi. Eu usei um plugin chamado ampeg SVX que simula o som dos amplificadores da marca ampeg (alguns modelos). De resto uso o sansamp bass driver DI. Eu tenho um ampeg svt-II pro mas não o tenho em casa por agora.

  • All the good parts in this song are ruined by the bad parts of this song...I'll hear one part I like but then they'll be a part I don't like and so on. The old yes was better. I can see that Steve, Chris, and Alan are doing awesome but the other two I don't like as much. Good bass cover though, I'm just not that into the song but you rock!

  • @Floydian75 Thanks. Hopefully the songs will grow on you a bit more. With Yes it's usual for me that I can't digest everything at once , then I get used with the strange bits and even start to like them :)

  • Great stuff man ! Always loved that Rickenbacker !! The album's great too btw

  • @TheFlyfromhere Thank you very much! Happy new Year!

  • impressive you have learnt this part so well in a so short time.

    your videos are also every time more well done and interesting ... imeges in background ... the detail on the bass-pedals... the quality overall of the video takes on you ...

    also your bass sound is identical to the one of Chris ... mi compliments on your work! Please continue to do these things, I always watch them with interest.

    . Franco .

  • @FrankBond0077 Thank you Franco. Sorry for the late reply. Hope I will still make some more this year. Happy New Year

  • Boas noites, Miguel. As always, your work is amazing. I like this video more than the official video that Yes has released for the album single. In addition to your bass playing, the whole visual thing you have created is absolutely great. The start with the Drama/Buggles pictures blends perfectly with the first keyboard chords of the new album... I have really enjoyed this a lot! And I hope to see Yes live in autumn... However, no dates in Portugal or Spain yet! (Maybe I'll go to France!!)

  • @carlesgom Thanks for your comments. They actually started the tour here in POrtugal. Maybe you will find a recording of the show here because they played the all the songs.

  • Buenísimo el video y la toma perfecta! Un grande!!!!

  • @DarioRamosMaldonado Obrigado e um abraço, Dario

  • the pronouncing everything weird pisses me off.

  • @TCharlieA I was never aware of canadian accents. Now I try to learn something about it but for a non-english native speaker it's not very noticeable, I guess :)

  • @TCharlieA

    hey weirdo

    English accents pisses you off?

    wow

    I have to present you to a phenomenal human being artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner calle: MUSIC!

  • @Brazilady That is not an english accent. Jon Anderson had an english accent, this guy just has a strange accent.

  • Once again you impress me greatly Miguel... should Chris ever retire, you would be the man to call...

  • @fish62858 Thank you very much! I wish you're enjoying the new record!

  • @miguelbass

    Você toca muito. Bom gosto também quanto às suas influências.

  • @urologiaeduardovalle Um abraço c votos de Feliz Ano Novo.

  • You certainly have Squire's sound down with the rick to match. Nice vid too. I'm a bass player too, but i play blues, no pick, very different. lol. Anyway, thumbs up.

  • @MDProgger That's one of the reasons I love bass. I enjoy hearing different styles even they're not what I usually play or listen too, but there's always the role of the bass player to pay attention to. Thanks!

  • Very good, Miguel !!!!

  • @petermachajdik I'm happy to know I have viewers from Slovakia. Ďakujem moc

  • @miguelbass Nemáš začo :-)

  • this is a great video, they should use this live

  • @froststorm134 that would be nice, without me in it of course :)) Thank you!

  • @miguelbass haha, of course. Before i saw you in the vid i thought it might have been something they used live and i was like "man i wish they used this when i saw them the other night"

  • Nice, big, fat Tone. Good playing. You learned from one of the Best!

  • @nignog87 Thank you very much!

  • Comment removed

  • Fabuloso !!!

  • @jesdat muito obrigado!

  • @echoespedro Um abraço, Pedro. Mto obrigado.

  • Sou um baterista do Brasil fã do Yes e do Alan White e sempre curti seus videos, e agora vendo vc. tocando Fly from here não pude deixar de comentar. Muito bom!

    

  • @Ramshackled17 Muito obrigado, caro amigo. O Alan e o Chris são "aquela" dupla.. e deixa-me feliz ouvir de um admirador do Alan, que para além do músico que é, me parece uma pessoa espectacular.

  • minha foto aos 2:30 !! Tirei no show do Yes em São Paulo em Novembro do ano passado... legal esse cover ! Adorei esse novo álbum do Yes !

  • @klausgroi Olá Klaus, adorei aquela foto que apareceu enquanto procurava algumas imagens para colorir o video. Está espectacular. Pensei logo que ficava bem para sublinhar o trabalho vocal do Benoît, pois aquele instante capturado pareceu-me cheio de emoção. Parabéns, e muito obrigado pelo teu contributo para o meu video! Abraço.

  • @miguelbass valeu !

  • Awesome job with the playing and with the background! This is one of my favorite Yes albums, now. It's not a flashy album--it's like Tales from Topographic Oceans in that respect (FFH is more focused, thankfully). But, the lyrics and the music create a great story.

  • @Ejak2021 True, it opens room for imagination. I have made up a kind of story in my head with this song, taking on the words... I think other listeners will also see other pictures. That's the good thing about Yes music :)

  • Awesome Miguel.. as always. I've been out of the "Yes" loop for a while, but did Jon Anderson leave the band? And was that Trevor Horn singing?

  • @TheDW12pc Yes Josh, now it is Benoît David singing, although TH does some backing vocals throughout the album. Thanks for stopping by my friend.

  • @miguelbass I never heard of Benoit David.. is he a new addition to the band? Is Jon Anderson retired??

  • @TheDW12pc It's a real sore spot. Jon couldn't tour with them last tour because he had voice problems, so they replaced him with the singer form a Yes cover band. Jon got really pissed and is still pissed i guess. Chris owns the trademark to the name Yes though as he was the last original member left after Drama. That's why ABWH could not cal themselves Yes. Jon and Wakeman have record some stuff together since this latest falling out.

    

  • *____* Fantastic!

  • @Pegiuz Thank you!

  • Listen to your cover again, your greatest cover i must say, and I love your new setup on the bass/ neck, great tone!!

  • @Dukered21 Thank Guy, I'm really happy with it. Hope you're enjoying FFH!

  • Man, you picked up on that QUICK! Awesome as always.

  • @eddievhfan1984 Thanks :) I tried to pick up the right timing to release the clip... just in time!

  • Awesome, as always! Perhaps the next track could be "into the Storm"? Does he use the T-wah effect on that one? The effect sounds similar to the one used on "Don't kill the whale"

  • @javon7065 Thanks. Yes, it's very likely that it is the same envelope filter or at least very similar to the Mutron III

  • This is absolutely incredible ! Congrats for learning the whole song, and the video work is COOL. The bass part is great, which could be expected for a song written by Horn and performed by Squire. Two of my all-time favourite bass players along with people like Tony Levin and Mike Rutherford. If I had more spare time I'd re-do the backing tracks on my keyboards and do a vocal cover.

  • @trevor001 Thank you very much "Trevor". Greetings from Portugal

  • Wonderful, Miguel. Incredible playing and tone as usual. Hope Jon Anderson can return to the band soon. It just isn't the same without him. Thanks for sharing...

  • @klavust11 Always welcome, my friend. Thank you!

  • Maravilhoso!!!! Parabéns Miguel. Vc. é um cara iluminado! abraços

  • @Scarpett Muito obrigado. Um abraço!

  • Excellent work. I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for sharing it with me.

    Love

    Lalita

  • @Lalitamusic You're always welcome, Lalita. Thank you.

  • great work!!!

    love to do a cover someday

    tim

  • @yea78861 Hi Tim, I support the idea, it would be a pleasure. Thank you so much.

  • Love YES !! Grettings from Buenos Aires, Argentina !!!

  • @skrupnik Muchas gracias! Saludos.

  • The Rick sounds beautiful, fair play :)

  • @paul3point14 Thanks :)

  • Interesting record. It's great having Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes back in the fold. It truly is the long-awaited sequel to Drama! Benoit's voice in interesting. He does sound somewhat like Jon, when singing Jon's parts live, but the way he sings these songs, he comes off sounding more like Trevor. My only critique is that I'm really not a fan of the sound of ProTools or MIDI, but that's the industry standard these days, so who am I to complain? Great playing as always Miguel.

  • @Mikemaniax I think it's no problem to criticize as you do. It's a valid opinion. I am not sure if I understood exactly what you meant. Yes I can detect some digital processing and editing that was noticeable. Then again it's something that happened on precious albums, I think even more than on this one. However, after some listens I start to get used to it. I also tend to detect those technical details, especially at the first listens. Thanks for commenting and watching!

  • Great job...I should listen to this new Yes album. Finally in these days there is still something good in music...THANK YOU YES!!!

  • @BiaginiAlessandro Indeed Alessandro! And thanks for stopping by.

  • As always unexceptionable. Love this new album. Great Yes songs. Thank you Miguel for this scouting in the groove of the song

  • @moonyfingers My pleasure. I'm loving it too - the new album ;)

  • This is incredible sounding...I need to buy the new yes album as soon as possible!

  • @derbystardom Hope you got it! Thanks for watching!

  • @miguelbass Yes, I got Fly From Here, finally :) It is an unbelievable album, already one of my favorites ever! I think I've listened to it about...20 times already...my cd came in a hard plastic case, and it looked like a mirror with the Yes "snake" logo on it...I'm wondering how to get a white cd, like the one in your video? I also bought a copy of FFH on i-tunes, for my laptop :) My nephew J.J. wants the white cd, and so do I....it is our Fly From Here Holy Grail cd that we want :D

  • My apologies if this has been asked before Miguel.... Are you using RotoSound Roundwound Swing Bass on your 4001CS? Also, which amp are you using?

    A fellow Ric bass player since 1973! :)

  • @Painkill3r4 No problem. It's the rotos yes, and the amp was an ampeg SVX (plugin) emulation. Bass greetings!

  • Wow... I love you Miguel! This is really cool :)

  • @ProgMom67 Thank you very much Julie. <3 back to you!

  • Olá Miguel. Jogando fabuloso e um vídeo impressionante meu amigo!

  • @stratocasterbob Muito obrigado, caro Bob! Um abraço!

  • I've listened to the record now dozens of times and I like it. But your added CSness makes it even better!

  • @prohumanbeing This is a very clever album... after the big track it passes very fast... maybe this wasn't intentional but it's that dose that leaves that feeling of listening to it again and again:))

  • cara, acompanho teus vídeos e este é um dos melhores! parabéns! e obrigado por compartilhar com todos o som de um rickenbacker. saudações brasileiras =D

  • @Hoeker Muito obrigado, é um prazer saber que visitas os meus videos. Abraço!

  • Fantastic!!! Your productions keep getting better.

  • @Donn713 Thank you so much, as always... Rick bass greetings!

  • Excellent work Miguel! Do you also hear the 10-string bass used on a couple parts (some of the descending riffs) on this song? I've listened closely a few times and it's either the 10-string (used on 'Changes') or there's an octave dubbed over those parts. What are your thoughts?

  • @Tubeholio i "heard " the same as you an I even recorded it in 8 string overdub,when making the video. then I thought it's Steve doubling, after some repeated listening. But the effect is very similar to the ranney 8-string, especially from the 1979 Paris demos.

  • Miguel, I bought this album on the minute it came out on iTunes, same goes to the single version that came out a bit before. I listened to that album and thought that I really will like Miguel to like and approve it as well as a legit YES album! Thanks again for a GREAT cover of a great album, I must say!

  • @Dukered21 No doubt, Guy. I always appreciate the effort they put to make new music during the last decades, even when critics are not so unanimous.. I think it's already part of the history of the band. But this one really feels good. I'm glad you also feel the same!

  • Beautiful Miguel! Played with alot of feeling and emotion. I was doubting whether or not to buy the album, but after viewing this I'm headed straight to the music store!

  • @brucemadler1 That leaves me extremely happy. I am sure you will find many other nice spots throughout the album. I listened to the whole cd today (again). It's a very exciting piece of work.

  • The whole video is totally enjoyable, both musically & visually! Bravo Miguel! Thanks for sharing!

  • @EarthGirl1914 My pleasure! Thanks for visiting once more!

  • Tim, did you put put this video together as well? Can you write about that a little bit? Your bass skills and video....impressive all around!

  • @ModernKaveman Hi. Actually Tim is the person I was replying to. Miguel here :) The video was made by me. So the idea was making the time leap from the Drama era.. i found some pics and started playing them to the music accents in the beginning. The intro was the part that gave me more work. I used some images of skies, some mine and some from the net... I get ideas as I start editing, there is no previous plan. I wanted to highlight the return of Trevor and Geoff. Thank you very much!

  • Ah, e adorei a cabeça flutuante de teu baixo :)

    Notei aos 4:20

  • Ótimo trabalho Miguel, como sempre!

    vou tentar adquirir este álbum o mais rápido possível...

    De forma geral, o que você achou deste álbum?

  • @NhonhoPlx O Álbum é excelente.Não vais adorar tudo à primeira. Requer várias audições p encontrar a lógica própria pois não há álbuns dos Yes iguais uns aos outros e este é mais 1 capítulo de uma longa história. Vais encontrar muitos pontos de interesse.A produção muito boa do TH,o regresso do som mais puro do Rickenbacker do Chris (mas não tão "sujo"), e se gostas de ouvir o Chris a cantar, ele está bem proeminente, como aconteceu no Drama.O melhor é descobri-lo e tirares as tuas ideias.abraço

  • Awesome as EVER, Miguel! When did the album come out?

  • @motorpsych0 Robert it came out in the US around the 12th. It's a beautiful album, I think you'll like! Thanks!

  • @miguelbass : Thankd for that. I will go look for it!

  • Maravilhoso!!! Parabéns diretamente do Brasil!

  • @liminha69 Muito obrigado! E um abraço!

  • Fantastic, Miguel! If Squire is ever unable to tour you could easily fill in for him.

  • @curiousted I appreciate your faith :) However I'm sure it would be anything but easy - for anyone! Thank you very much.

  • Amazing! Congratulations!

  • @DrBirendraJha Thank you for watching!

  • Muito bom!, gosto muito desta sua produção

  • Muito bom!

  • @GORFF987 Abraço do tuga e, mais uma vez, grato pela visita!

  • This is wonderful! The new album is great and so is this tribute. I love the Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes material

  • @lifesonfan We agree! Thanks!

  • I like this "everywhere" ...Lord of CS.....RIC.

  • @Dengia64 Grazie Ric!

  • CooL reaLLy COOL Thanks amsterdaMcooLture

  • @gresiu7 Glad to have you around again my friend!

    A+

  • @kounkounlive Aha :) Bonne sugestion, j'adore tout le chanson mais je ne sais pas se jáurai du temp pour faire toutes les 20+ minutes... Merci :)

  • great video - RESPECT!

  • @AxTpower Thank you very much!

  • Hey they should use this video of yours for promoting their new album ;)

    Is that Trevor Horn in the middle? How about a reinstallment of the Drama Tour A.D. 2011? :D Great job working out your magic again Miguel!

  • @hyperboreal Hello Alex, that's TH all right. I'm not looking much to the videos from the current tour but they have already done two Drama numbers on the previous tour. Thanks as always!

  • Amazing! You work fast!

  • @frankibio Hi franki, it was good timing but yes I had to rush a bit for many reasons :)

  • Awesome Miguel, truly awesome!

  • @Painkill3r4 Thank you!

  • Beautiful! Just...gorgeous.

  • @ballroomblitzkid1994 Thank you very much!

  • and I LOVE the bits where the nut gets keyed out and the headstock seems to float by itself!

  • @prohumanbeing That was not intentional btw, Paul... I wasn't sure.. but since
