GTR (band) GTR (band) GTR were a British rock band founded in 1985 by former Yes and Asia guitarist Steve Howe and former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett. Though the band's leaders were known as progressive rock musicians, GTR appealed to album-oriented rock radio stations. The band lasted for two years and one album. Hackett subsequently criticized the project, though not necessarily the other musicians involved in it. The band's name came from an abbreviation of "guitar" used by recording studios for labelling guitar tracks. After Steve Howe left Asia in 1985, he and former Yes manager Brian Lane discussed forming a new
Union (Yes album) released in 2011. Subsequently, the 1983–1988 line-up of Anderson, Rabin, Squire, Kaye, and White continued as Yes and recorded the next Yes album, "Talk" (1994). Steve Howe has performed "Masquerade" within Yes shows since the tour. No other "Union" compositions have been played by Yes since the tour, but a select number have been played by groups featuring Yes members: Credits are adapted from the 1991 CD liner notes.
