So I am fan of Journey and Foreigner, of yesterday, the way the music was meant to be done with the original singers who made those songs what they were vocally. Gramm and Perry have been replaced, just like Mercury, just like Jagger, just like Plant, Waters, and all the legends in the business. You can't replace a legend with a nobody and expect the same success, it will never happen.


Fixed for you. Sorry it's so problematic for you, but fans are still happy to go to the shows and there's still a lot of excitement and energy at a Journey show, speaking from first hand experience. Journey has is still a great band with a great singer. The problem is, the fans will not move on to the newer music. What if Journey had hit the stage with AP back in the hayday? My guess, since we'd have never known about SP, is that AP would now be legendary.


Don't get sassy, I'll post about Donald Duck in here if I want to beotch! This is the only forum (pretty much) that I go to, and we have posted about other bands in here for years. If you don't like it, I'm sending you to the closet with Jason for a while. That'll straighten you out! :wink: Now STFU, and go pop a Foreigner cd in! :lol:

It's the only forum around here, that matters anyway! :) it's up the top, and most active. I've done it before, I've posted things in MR, in other forums around here, you don't get replies for days, or even weeks, here it's pretty much instant.

the inter action with the crowd is far far better.
he sells the song to the audience and sings it as if its his own.

its exciting and cool.
