GTR was a short-lived rock band founded in 1985 by former
Yes and
Asia guitarist
Steve Howe and former
Genesis guitarist
Steve Hackett. In comparison to the two leaders' earlier work within
progressive rock, GTR appealed to
album-oriented rock radio stations. The band was short-lived, lasting for two years and one album. Hackett has subsequently been strongly critical of the project, though not necessarily of the other musicians involved in it.
