Has Mitch left?  Is he too busy with his own band?  What happened?  Its almost like when Guthrie Govan left, but he lived eight time zones away.  I'd have to learn more about Brucey B before I know how its gonna work out.
I was hoping the band would come to my area but they didn't seem to get the gig.  If I can get the money in time, I may consider flying to Denver because its easier to get to a mainstream city than some small town out West.

I'll be attending the Coconut Creek show this Friday, so I'll watch
the first show with Bruce. He is insanely talented but my only concern
with him is that his playing might be too flashy and heavy for ASIA's
music. I'll report what I see as soon as I can.

I agree to an extent Jamie. I don't mind heaviness (I like rock music
to actually rock). My favorite ASIA album is 'ARIA' which is their
heaviest record. I'm just concerned as to the "flashiness" if you
will, in that I hope he doesn't over do it when it's time to solo. But
I shouldn't worry, as every ASIA guitar player has never
disappointed :-)
