8. Then who were the people that came to my town last year?

It was billed as Asia. I had no desire to see them anyway, but I still feel cheated.

[bbernardini]

15. That would be the "current" lineup of Asia.

Geoff Downes from the original band, John Payne on vocals and bass, and some other guys. They had trouble keeping a stable lineup for a while. Payne has been the lead singer for about 14 years now.

Yes, I own the official Asia biography. It's quite a good read, believe it or not.

12. Bottom line: if your band is named after a continent, it sucks.

30. Carl will get together for Asia

but we can't get Greg back into Emerson Lake and Palmer.

[no name no slogan]

33. Thank God for that

Greg Lake's voice is completely shot. Keith Emerson has tendonitis. Maybe it's for the best.

After all, they could either make another Trilogy, or another Love Beach.

[Initech]

"You know how I know you're gay? Because you like Asia."
