(from when "Never Dies" was made the theme of Lethal Weapon 4 in Asia, ho ho!)From East Touch 21/7/98Intro: Beyond has always been "dynamic". This year, they're finally making a dash into Hollywood. No, Beyond's not turning into actors; but they'll be singing the theme song for Lethal Weapon 4 for the Asia market, known as "Never Dies"." Even though Asia is huge, when you talk about Band

On Radio FM933 in S'pore on 24th August 1998 @ 1100 -1200 amThroughout the show, they talked about their fave music type, shared some fave music pieces and tried to analyse their personality...ALL: Hi ! This is Beyond, and we're also the DJs for tonite.Paul: Yeah we love to play music. If I'm not playing the guitar, I'll run to Wing's position to be the drummer. It's really COOL, you know.

February 02 1999 JOH BAND TIME AWARDS BEYOND STANDS UP FOR ZENHK Commercial Radio Station held a 'Band Competition Show' on 31 Jan 1999, many bands attended the event, accepted awards & performed, including Zen, who hasn't been out for some time. However, Zen was bitterly booed by the audience almost once they started to sing, "SO UGLY! NOT FUN AT ALL! GO HOME!", with all kinds of horrid remarks

'beyond forever' cards. everything looks cheesier as a trading card.Mention the name Leslie Chan Kinn Tim to a longtime Beyond fan, and they will probably scowl at you. While he was the first to believe in Beyond enough to release records on his own label with his own money, and was instrumental in setting up their later commercial success with Cinepoly, his relationship with the band in more

i had a request for the history of beyond from a reader, but as you may well know, their history is a long one. as much as i would like to put it into my own words (haha), there are several people who have done it already, so i'd probably be rehashing by referring to their dates and events.a good one is at beyondline. the other is by edmund gan, posted onto the soc.culture.hongkong.entertainment

and now here is an article from singapore's i magazine, i think in 1998? during that trip they performed at the 'hello concert', which a kind singapore fan sent me the tape of. hmmm, off to watch it now...i'm so used to hearing pr talk in articles that i find this one amusing.- - - -INTRO: * Ka Kui?

wong ka kui in 1986 (click for larger)whenever i think of the word revolution lately, i come back to anton newcombe in the documentary dig!. in the film it seems this is the brian jonestown massacre visionary's favourite concept: "We're going to kick off a full-scale musical revolution. We're going to take over the world".while his lofty ambition is undermined by his seeming presence on another

my parents are heading off to hong kong on monday for a week, which is a week i get left at home. instead i'm left imagining what it was like to walk the streets of tsimshatsui, the last time i visited, and my first time ever.beyond is as much a part of hong kong as it is the other way around, from the way i saw it, from crossing tsing ma bridge (a soundscape namesake on surprise) as we left the

okay, first attempt at posting an article. i just realised that some of the articles i managed to salvage are incomplete, and i have less than i thought i did. bummer.here's an article from 1998 - the title is a reference to their song "never dies" 打不死, hong kong theme song for lethal weapon x, the one where mel gibson is too old...- - -Magazine: CashBox (Taiwan) Time: March, 1998 vol.46 Title:

From 1997 (click for larger).do you really remember what it was like without the internet, in what seems like a long long time ago? i remember my father dialing up on a rotary phone, where he would look at bulletin boards on a monochrome monitor. that was the early 90s.i didn't get online on the real internet aka the www, until about 1995, when loud modem dialtones alerted everyone to the fact

From 1988 (click for larger).it's true that i am very beyond fixated, after all these years. just before last christmas, i was on holiday at genting highlands in malaysia, and the sight of those new year's eve concert posters was enough to make me try to extend my air ticket so i could fulfil my lifetime wish to see them play live. my relatives thought i was insane.(of course extending my ticket

this is a blog for beyond, a band from hong kong. for more information, please see the wikipedia entry (a work in progress). the name, continue the revolution comes from their 1992 album. also because everything with 'beyond' in the title was taken already. also because you should.previously i used to run a site many years ago called 'the beyond station'. i've been wanting to set up an english
