I can't believe how Iron Maiden-influenced this is, as far as the song structure. The same way you can recognize an AC/DC or a Led Zeppelin song, from a million miles away.
lets hear your song then buddy! I understand that it's not going to appeal to everyone and it's obvious that your a Rick W fan, which is cool but if you've got nothing positive to say then perhaps saying nothing would be the best approach? And do you really think he's listened to just the one keyboard player? C'mon man! Plus there's a lot more than just this on the dvd perhaps watching the whole thing might make your opinion a little more informed??
Very disappointed. Sounds like a boring folk band with with typical Rick Wakeman keys backing it. Yes Oliver sounds like his Dad but brings nothing new from himself. He would do well to listen to more than just dear old Dad. When you try to emulate several top notch players you end up with your own thing. When you copy just 1 guy you end up sounding like a cheap imitation. Also someone mentioned good to hear prog rock in the 2000s. This song this is not prog rock!!! not by a long shot.
I argee, If you have not gone out and got the Mothers Ruin cd yet, please get yourself a copy. Simply a great series of songs, one track is aout 10 min long.
you're talking about the singer who is out with yes at the moment?????? Because Paul in the Mothers Ruin is superb and has a diffent voice entirely to Jon! please clarify?
izus2002: If you read the posting, it says this is The Oliver Wakeman Band, not YES. Of course this singer is not Jon Anderson, but this is a completely different band. And, as a diehard YES fan seeing this for the first time, I think I love this band! Oliver was supposed to play with YES before Jon Anderson got ill and the tour was cancelled. He seems to be doing well on his own project! Chip off of the old block. Miss Rick and Jon..Forever YES!
Having been lucky enough to personally buy this DVD off the guitarist Dave I was pretty excited to get it home and check it out and I thought it was awesome. Very high levels of musicianship and very entertaining to watch. This I feel is a bit of a gem.
Watched the whole DVD last night. In my opinion this isn't the best track, so if you like this, the DVD won't disappoint! Would like to see some more tracks from it on here, as this would be a better indication of the nature of the band for those who don't know the Mother's Ruin.
Yeah! We demand much higher-grade Spinal Tap! Looks like plenty of people in the venue to me (don't forget this is Poland) and they all seem to be loving it! Guess you're not a prog fan, as IMHO, it doesn't get much better than this!
Go my name! Maestro like father!

Nice solo at 2:45. Lyrics too mundane, though, for such a rich melody.
