I saw where someone posted online that they thought Astra was proto prog metal. Does anyone on here agree with that? Tongue

here on PA? I haven't seen that. 
No, nothing remotely metal in Asia's music. 
Some melodic hard rock at times. 

No, on on a youtube post for one of the songs from that album(I don't remember which one but possibly "too late"). 

Maybe you should listen to the Astra album. It's definitely metal or metallish at the very least imo. The first two aren't even really hard rock. Just regular rock with mild prog tendencies.

I know the Astra album. 
I don't hear metal in Astra. 
Confused

Agree to disagree then.

Astra was the third album right? The only memorable tracks were Voice Of America (about Brian Wilson) and Go (but more for the video which is truly cringeworthy even by 80's standards)  . Mandy Meyer replaced Steve Howe and he was also in a heavy metal band called Krokus so that's were the connection is I presume. Its mainly commercial 'pomp rock' perhaps a bit heavier than the first 2 albums. I wouldn't call it 'metal' though.
