Randy Jackson Off the Tour

They just hear Journey is coming to town and buy a ticket.

It's really not that complicated.

Yup.

What do you mean hopefully? Are they going to re-record Randy's parts and Narada's parts for the albums with other players?
Or do you think the album will never be released?

Never underestimate Journey's ability to fuck things up. I could envision a scenario where Narada doesn't get paid and he destroys the masters. Who TF knows. The album is not real until I am holding a copy.

That might be a good gimmick. Then Neal could say, "It was our best album ever, but Narada destroyed it! I wish it could have been released! It was better than Escape!"

And nobody could prove him wrong.

I think Journey managed to fill arenas again in recent years in part because it was the closest thing to the Escape/Frontiers lineup since Perry left.

Thoughts are not facts unfortunately. Steve Smith is a drum legend, but to casual fans......eh, nobody cares.

Also, Deen is arguably a much more entertaining drummer to watch in a live setting.
