It's a continuation of Asia so he can continue his legacy with the band that he was in but only with different players keep in mind he was in Asia a lot longer than the original members combined he went on to release some more albums with Asia longer than the original members that's why he's allowed to continue his legacy because he has to make his living too he has to eat just like everybody else the only difference is he cannot perform any of the new material only the first three albums that contain the original members and his his music when he was in Asia with Jeff downs and Carl Palmer and some other players back in the 90s on albums like aqua Aurora Arena a whole host of others
If you don't like John Payne's voice why are you listening to it at first I didn't like John Payne's voice either when he screams but it took some time to get used to but that's who he is trying to find his voice and get comfortable with what he does every other singer does as well everybody likes John wetton and some others like John Payne each to his own
The original version is fantastic I'll give you that but you have to give John Payne a chance because he does really good on some of the songs keep in mind he may have a good day you might have a bad day that's what singers go through and they're still trying to find their voice trying to get their footing but don't be so quick to put him down you know maybe it's because the sound systems not that clear but I've grown to love John paying because he does sound fantastic but I do loved the original and I own the original albums as well give John Payne a chance don't be so quick to put him down
No this is not a cover band this is not a cover version this is a continuation of Asia John Payne who's invited join the band back in 1995 1996 now if you're interested in check out some of the first couple of albums and see for yourself you might like some songs on those records you can listen to some of the music here on CZcams and see for yourself all the best to you
@Jeremy Spade I thought the Geoff Downes version of Asia had permanently disbanded after John Wetton's passing. Have they put out any new music? Why isn't guitarist Sam Coulson still involved in the project?
They are carrying on the tradition of Asia 🌏 one of my all time favorites. This sounds killer
この人達はエイジアを引き継いでくれてます🎉😊
I realize this was probably meant in jest, but if not, Payne was the band's lead for 15 years, so there is some precedent.
Moni Scaria's guitar is a revelation. He's the best-ever Asia guitarist who isn't named Steve Howe
LOL! John Mitchell who played in John Wetton's solo band blows this guy away! czcams.com/video/GlcuHmWFAAQ/video.html

This doesn't work for me...
Agree 100%, this is NOT Asia!
Not Asia.
Right, it's not. It's Asia featuring John Payne.
@@HenryLaPierre It's bullshit.

right it sounds just fine
Weston had a great voice. I don't like Payne's.

@@andrerone8208 Duh! I didn't know if I liked it until after I heard it! Wetton sang on key. Maybe Payne was having an off day.
Nothing near the original Asia. Absolutely horrible!!!
The original version is fantastic I'll give you that but you have to give John Payne a chance because he does really good on some of the songs keep in mind he may have a good day you might have a bad day that's what singers go through and they're still trying to find their voice trying to get their footing but don't be so quick to put him down you know maybe it's because the sound systems not that clear but I've grown to love John paying because he does sound fantastic but I do loved the original and I own the original albums as well give John Payne a chance don't be so quick to put him down
A good cover band, maybe the key is too high for Mr. Payne - he´s flat.
Is this a cover band?
No this is not a cover band this is not a cover version this is a continuation of Asia John Payne who's invited join the band back in 1995 1996 now if you're interested in check out some of the first couple of albums and see for yourself you might like some songs on those records you can listen to some of the music here on CZcams and see for yourself all the best to you

The guy needs to take it down a bit.. Anyone can scream a song out
This is like watching a bad cover band...which basically it is.
He’s horrible
This isn’t right. Not the real ASIA.
