I don't see any soto fans or Augeri fans or loons screaming praise for Journeys current lineup...how is this any different? How can anyone call themselves "fans" of this band if they only care about Perry? Wouldn't they just be, oh, I don't know....fans of Steve Perry? There doesn't seem to be many screaming fangirls for Valory, Cain or Schon as a band. I also see both sides dissing on Youtube. It's not like Youtube is the most intellectual of places on the internet to gauge what sort of fanbase a certain band has. Yes, it is true that stupid shit is said in the Youtube comments section, but it is not exclusive to Journey and pinoys. Most people know Youtube comments are garbage and full of trolls. I've seen someone on this forum call Journey "Perrys band". Tell me that isn't as ridiculous as anything?
Again, a pathetic attempt at making a point. Shall I remind you that Augeri, as bad as he is/was, headlined over Styx and REO too. It's the music stupid, the catalog, not Pineda as to the reason why Journey is headlining. It's the music made famous by the chords of Steve Perry primarily, that Journey headlines over these other vanilla melodick acts.
Valid point. Nostalgia is key for a lot of these bands. Journey is a megastar with the greatest hits crowd.
Oh really? Go look at all those millions of ridiculous posts by Pinoy fans on youtube, dissing Perry and propping up Pineda. It's sickening that you fucking morons talk the way you do. I remember laughing out loud when all you idiots were saying that Pineda should have been the Super Bowl Halftime act instead of Bruce. I never have laughed so hard in my life. Then your boy went out and played the beer garden for the same game, and he shit the bed. Pineda was awful that day. Please remind me how Pineda is a better showman than Springsteen or Perry for that matter?
I've uploaded videos of Perry and Pineda and I see spam from BOTH sides. I wouldn't lump all loons or pinoys in the same boat. This sounds like some bitter rambling though more than anything. Sure, it's wrong to knock down the achievements of Perry and try to claim Arnel is the new king (THIS is ridiculous), but I don't see anything wrong with giving support. The superbowl is a stretch, but is that any real reason to make a sweeping generalization that all pinoy fans are morons?
Though I do agree, he was shit that day.
Perry sang the hardest catalog in music for about ten years. He did so without tuning down, without being a puss. Your boy was tuning down in the FIRST fucking year of singing with Journey. Give it two more years and he will be done, and I won't have to see you dumb motherfuckers littering the Net with your idiotic messages any more.
Arnel has also been singing for 20+ years. What has Perry been doing since TBF? Perry also sang his catalog using his own voice and natural range. It's not like Arnel is some young guy in his 20's. His voice is still in pretty good shape considering he even completely lost it once. Let's say he does only have 2 more years in him....didn't you say in another thread Journey would be done after another 2 years anyway? None of these guys are getting younger.
Before the loons claw my nipples off, you should know....Perry is definitely the greatest. I'm a closet loon. Personally, I don't care what happens to this band though....I spend more time lurking these forums enjoying drama than caring about the band at this point. I'm done with Journey, and have been for about a year.
