Get over yourself, dude. You also claimed Revelation would flop and it sold big time. The wise old sage act is getting pretty stale. These days, you seem more vested in calling out Journey's incompetent business decisions than anything. Have you even heard Eclipse?
Nope...not much in a hurry to hear it either. Seems like a lot of people feel the same way. Haven't really looked that hard to download it.
I don't remember making a specific prediction regarding Revelation...especially after it was tied to the rerecords and a DVD. I said some things about people not buying into this version of Journey and grabbing a new album - but I think that was well before specifics were known about the Revelation package. I said that hiring a YouTube tribute singer was a ridiculously stupid idea...and I still feel that way. I said that the first tour is a given ,that people would go out of curiosity...that the second tour is where we would know if this version of Journey was a success - if people came back. I will say the coming tour is that test...and I would expect it to sell well...but because of the GH, not ANY song off of Revelation or Eclipse. And, I said that Eclipse was way over-hyped on this forum and you should feel lucky if it wells 50,000 in the first way...100,000 was a dream and 125,000 was a riduculous fan-boy fantasy that would never happen.
And, if I did say Revelation won't sell blah, oh, well. It shouldn't have cuz it's mediocre crap, LOL.
