I heard The Whale actually strained a cord while training and getting use to the new songs for the upcoming REVELATION TOUR. Sadly enough, The Whale never gave JC good feeback for months, hence the new ARRIVAL of the Faz. Not only did this move give Journey credibility in the sound department, but it was so good stepping in, that Journey upped their once rumored 4 new songs, to 11.
Journey HOPES that the fans will embrace the "FAZ" with OPEN ARMS since the die hard fan base prefer the Red Color, over the Black Color and are in worry that it will tarnish Journey's legacy. No matter what is said, The Whale will always be inferior to the Faz when it comes to playing the greatest hits. After all, it IS the Whales songs. The Faz brings a new light and a newer fan base to the Journey name, and the only thing left to say is, DON'T STOP BELIEVIN!
