Yeah he is (Payne), a tribute band. This man needs to get a life ... Time to let go ... Give it a rest ... Find your soul .... eventually got to move on. Can't ride John Wetton's coattails forever. Put out an album called 'John Payne', and see how it fares. If he does, I will buy it. .. And play it
Why is it that you can put together members of four incredible bands and they turn out crap like this? Aside from the fact that these lyrics rhyme, they could easily be written by Taylor Swift. They're completely vapid. What I liked about the original was that the "polish" distracted me from the lyrics themselves. Here, they're showcased and they are so clearly mediocre.
Not a bad version of the song at all. John is a fine vocalist and I agree with 'trevor001' that "Arena" and "Aura" were the best of his stuff with Downes. Hope John gets some new, original material out soon!

In boxing terms with championships this would be the true linear version of Asia. Weird but true.

"No drinks on stage !" :D
This is certainly the best ASIA tribute band ever.
John Payne still did some good things with Downes (Arena and Aura).

LOL! Good video, good sound but NOT great like the original. It's silly that there are two versions of the same band touring.
