I've had the luxury of owning my own studio, 24 analogue, 48 digital, endless effects, endless hardcore gear, that I don't have to rent, I don't get stuck with the bills, it's all mine.
From Billy Sherwood
So for my studio purposes, I know that I'm in my studio with technicians who've done amazing things to my board and to my power amps and I know what I can deliver out of my studio.
Sometimes I hear a drum groove in my head and I rush down to my studio.
I mean, Beatles songs were two and a half minutes long, and they're fantastic.
I don't have any assistants, I do it all myself, I don't have any secretaries.
I love the feeling of creating pictures in someone's mind just by spelling out the right lyrical combination.
So in one sense you don't have the classic keyboard player in Yes.
When you're a songwriter and you click with someone, you tend to want to keep writing with that person.
I'd written songs with lots of people, from one spectrum to the other.
I wrote songs with the guys from Air Supply for their record... So I was just writing songs.
