Interview: Steve Howe Discusses Asia's New Album, 'XXX,' and His Latest Solo Album, 'Time'

“Heat of The Moment” became the coolest thing ever that day, and it wouldn’t be long before I became one of the 8 million other people who bought the debut album from Asia. In addition to “Heat," songs like “Only Time Will Tell” and “Sole Survivor” would become staples of my music library.

Over the next few decades, Asia went through various ups and downs and several lineup changes. It wasn’t until 2006 that the four original members — Steve Howe, John Wetton, Carl Palmer and Geoff Downes — reunited and have since released three successful studio albums: Phoenix, Omega and their latest, XXX (pronounced “Triple X”) (Buy on iTunes), a flawlessly executed album that continues to push the barriers of progressive rock.

Yes (Steve Howe and Geoff Downes), Uriah Heep (John Wetton), and Emerson Lake and Palmer (Carl Palmer) all in one = Awesome band ...

John Wetton has been one of my favorite singers and bassists. His work with King Crimson, U.K., Roxy Music, and other groups are some of my favorites I still listen to often.

And, who can forget Geoff Downes was also in The Buggles (Video Killed The Radio Star)

They are all great bands there, Duaine.

America, Asia, and Europe should tour together and call it something really cool, then cancel most of the tour dates. I'd certainly buy a ticket if I knew for sure they'd cancel.
