Happy Holidays everyone!
We've launched the new version of the ASIA Featuring John Payne website. We know not everyone is on Facebook or Twitter these days, so the new website will have more up to date information than before.
We also added a page called "Amazon Store" that has affiliate links to various Asia and John Payne related cds, etc on Amazon. This is an interim section until we can get our own web store going.
Let us know how you like it. You're welcome to add comments to any of the postings on the website.
Best-
Erik, web guy.

This video blog shows the presentation and demo of John's new John Payne Signature Edition Bass Guitar, built by Brown's Guitar Factory. Filmed at NAMM 2011 in Anaheim, CA, John also debuts the instrumental track "Brown Dog", a bass guitar feature. Look closely and you may spot guitarist Ant Glynne who worked with John in the Passion in the 80's and recorded with Asia for portions of Aqua, Archiva and Silent Nation. Ant made it possible for us to film the bass demo in the Albion Amps sound booth at the NAMM show.
Thanks to Ant and Steve at Albion and John Brown of Brown's Guitar Factory.

Thought people here would be interested in this recent Carl Palmer interview: http://www.torontosun.com/2011/05/03/carl-palmer-asia-come-to-canada
There's some interesting stuff implied about AFJP, including what appears to be a legal agreement limited where AFJP can tour. Here's the key bit...
------
Q: Can you even keep track of how many people have played in Asia?
CP: I only know the original band, which finished in 1983. We started again five years ago. Everything else has been like a sort of tribute or cover band of Asia to my mind. It was something I haven't bothered with at all. Now there are a couple of bands out there doing the same thing. When we decided to get back together, obviously we made it a little more difficult for the other bands. We restricted the amount of bookings they could take on within three to six months of our dates, to keep it very clean and obvious for the public that this is the original Asia.
Henry
That really sucks on the limited tour agreement.... |

Well, he says what he says in a more moderate tone than you've phrased it here, but, yes, it's somewhat damning, particularly when he agreed to be on _Aqua_!
However, it's an accusation AFJP will continue to face while about half their live set is music that none of them originally played on.

I read this list all the time but this is something I feel compelled to chime in on. As a life long fan being 10 when the first album came out ASIA is an institution in my life all versions. I think in the end this amounts to opinions from fans on all sides none of which are wrong but heated nonetheless. These men are creative types in all cases and I speak of the 5 (Wetton, Downes, Howe, Palmer and Payne). The situation in ASIA after Silent Nation and start of demoing for Architects was great creatively IMO but financially I think the ship was sinking. Geoff had reunited with a kindred spirit in Wetton and the 'ICON' project and with Wetton being sober the relationship was good again. The thought of bringing together the original 4 for both creative and financial reasons seemed right and it seems they were right. Honestly I thought it would
last the reunion tour only because as their history suggested Steve and John would only be able to take each other for so long. Thankfully I was wrong which is all well and good but I was honestly excited by the last Payne led ASIA band with Govan and Slade. That last band to me was when Downes and Payne finally had the right chemistry and legacy to live up to the name of the band.
At the end of the day Geoff made his move right or wrong it is what is. John Payne is a phenomenal talent and worked very hard with Geoff to keep the band alive and vital but was it? Devoted fans scooped up the records if they could find them ARIA I found as an import shortly after its release (paying a pretty penny for it as well) and no consistent tour. Honestly they were mismanaged and poorly marketed from there on out till Geoff left. You can site many examples but I will take Marillion as mine who went through a Lead vox change that was completely different and through some tough times used excellent marketing as well as great music to be successful even charting as an independent artist without a major record label post 95.
As far as what John Payne should do, if he can make music that inspires both him and his fans period. If he continues with the AFJP moniker that's fine by me he deserves that. No matter what its music everyone meant to be heard enjoyed and yes be passionate about. The man also has bills to pay same as you and I so begrudging anyone from using the ASIA moniker especially him is silly. Quite frankly other than Geoff no one flew the flag higher for longer than he did his blood is in that band no matter what the other 3 might think even Wetton.
Sorry to have gone on so long. Best regards to all

By the way, if you haven't checked out "Fast and Blue," (Lisa LaRue
2KX) John not only provides the vocals, some bass, assisted with
arrangements and mixed, mastered and co-produced the album, but also
appears in much of the studio footage and interviews on the full length
DVD that is also available.

We can confirm there is an upcoming DVD/CD release by GPS-Live in Japan by Gonzo Multimedia. It will have footage to include acoustic with Guthrie & John, and the full GPS band. We are still working on putting this package together. Because it is early in the process we cannot reveal any more details until finalized. Stay tuned!
