I remember David saying that they needed a guitar player for the 2015 Asia and he thought in his friend Matt O'Ree because his singing and playing, then they went to JBJ's house and Matt O'Ree auditioned, JBJ saw he could sing and play and JBJ finally only wanted to make sure he wasn't bat crazy.


So in case this Damon Johnson was talking about 2015 Asia, then why he said what he said: "what they ended up doing was they kept working with Phil X... and they also added my old friend John Shanks... and so they simply added John as a second guitar player. And they're carrying on."

Unless he has no idea that the 2015 Asia happened with the guitarist who supposedly played and sang better than him.
