Bass Cadet Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Anyone thought that maybe they are reuniting because they are musicians and they like playing gigs? If I don't gig for a while I go a bit loopy o_O Surely I can't be the only one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of this thread is to lay into shitey, overblown wankhole's of bands & constructive criticism be damned. Ergo, Asia are shite. Try it, it's fun and it greatly winds up people who take it personally rather than shrug it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluesxman Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I'm not sure if I've actually heard Asia or not, but they seem to fall into my brain segment which groups together bands such as Foreigner, Boston, etc. Looking at their constituent members' past bands I don't think I want to know for sure. At least 2 of them were part of what punk wanted to kill off. And the mainstream American music scene is even worse than ours so selling millions of albums in that consumer market is hardly a recommendation to me at least.

They instantly fall into that genre marked "pish" just on the line up alone. Plus, and I hope he doesn't take this personally given his earlier posts on this thread, Jester likes them and that's also enough to put me off. Actually, it would be hard for him not to take that personally...Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give a million monkeys a million typewriters and they may come up with Shakespeare. Give a million people a million bands to listen to and they still listen to Chris Rea. I can only conclude that people are stupid and the sooner "Planet of The Apes" becomes reality the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

french_disko Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 what like sonic youth in your avatar there? where do you think they're from? Yemen!I'm fully aware of their geographical origins - I'm just not a fan of the "good american rock" genre. By saying that it just brings to mind a 1000 crap rock bands. In fact, half of them probably aren't even American and are just tapping into the feel and the reference of the music. Anyway - Asia. Still pish.

jester1470 Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Not being a twat? Keeping constructive?Why lower yourself to such petty insults as seen throughout this thread?Note: You are the one that started the personal stabs in this thread.Ah but all musics a matter of opinion, Betamax being a twat is a matter of fact, I'm not even sure I made a personal insult, I just commented and pretty much agreed with what he said about getting back on stage at their age being an ego thing - If you choose to be touchy about such things thats your opinion.I've never yet and never will slag off the Video's or whatever you're currently called's music. No point its not the kind of music I'm into.As for riding on the coat tails of others, I dont know what that feels like, for whatever little stuff I've achieved I've worked hard on it, andI'm happy with the results.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodast Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 No! Why on earth would Asia reform?!Especially when GTR could reform! That would be awesome, really.Besides, I personally asked Steve Howe uhh... yeah, I personally asked Steve Howe to get Bodast back together. Oh... maybe he misheard me and thought I said Asia.. aww! This is all for me, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
