Journey not touring the US this year but AP is

[Don]

The new up coming Journey album has a couple potentials; people will either embrace it or they jump ship. AP will have 5 writing credits either way.

Maybe he should consider moving to Vegas in a couple years.

Just a bit of trivia but Journey (including solo Perry) is annually in the top 10 for artist spins on A/C radio and classic rock radio ((the classics, obviously). That's a lot of coin for NS, SP and JC.

If this new album doesn't get radio play, having 0, 5 or 10 writing credits isn't going to mean very much.

But of course. Them taking the whole year off gives us lots of time to speculate and talk out of our collective asses.

Schon was the one saying they had enough hits, they were tired of being on A/C radio and were looking forward to writing non radio friendly songs that let them be more creative. The only speculation here is if Neal is talking out of his ass again.

Hasn't he been accomplishing that for some time now?!?!

A/C radio has been pretty accommodating to Journey, and for that matter, REO and Foreigner also. All three groups ended up with two A/C hits off of their last albums. I'll be curious to see if Foreigner goes for the hat trick and releases "I'll Be Home Tonight".

[Jana]

This saddens me...

he'll never lose the "karaoke lounge act" persona if he keeps this up.

On the other hand, this gives me comfort......

Right now they are working out which songs will go on the album. Sounds like a good number of the songs written will make the cut. AP definitely has a great part in the writing process this time around.

Btw, my favorite post of all.......

I think this guy will prove all you naysayers wrong. I think this dude is great.

My fear...
People abusing AP.



Some words that I will never forget.....
-zero stage presence
-no charisma
-state fair
-pinhead

Chubby, are you PMS'ing? That was a little dramatic.

Chubby, are you PMS'ing? That was a little dramatic.

Damn, maybe I can get an Oscar award for that.

Had enough of us, Chubbs?

NOPE, sorry.

sometimes reality makes us sad, just a part of growing up.
saying "zero stage presence" or "no charisma" is hardly abuse.

Lula no worries, I meant the abuse from the people near and around him.



Did someone hijack my account or was I too drunk last night?

What kind of abuse? Mental? Physical? Emotional? Sexual?? Walletal?!?
I did see a pic of Rip Rokken physically picking him up off the ground like a sack of potatoes.

Maybe, I need a vacation, hmmmmmm.........California here I come.

Gunny, I think, eventually Arnel will see who are for real and not. I just wish him the best.


On another topic, I hope Journey management is providing a family friendly place for Arnel and family. Better yet, give them a vacation house in Cali.

I am not sure Steveo but one of the FB posts kinda reveal something's going on.

I looks like it has something to do with "walletal"

He could stop that anytime he wants, if he would just get the fuck out of that place, and away from those types of people. And if it has anything to do with his manager over there, well, good luck suing him in the USA! He should move here.

I don't wanna go there because I don't really know what's going on. And in fairness, I have not heard anything negative about their relationship......so far.

He's gotta be happier than ever, no? He's probably just fine. I'm sure the Jboys would kick some ass, if anyone was messing with him, as well connected as they are.

Wow, doesn't this guy understand by now what Journey's catelog does to one's vocals? You'd think he'd take a year off himself instead he's high on his Oprah special trying to make money.

He's got a naturally high pitched voice, so doing Journey catelog won't hurt him. What will is if he starts to sing songs by Aerosmith and such...you know....songs that require an extremely powerful and raspy voice. And about the money, I think it's more about trying to please his fans by making appearances and doing what he truly enjoys doing most.....then anything else.

Looks like he's the headliner. My wife and I used to go to the Peppermill all the time. We might go to this show.

[brywool]

The guy has to sing to keep in shape. Just like an athlete.

Two shows canceled all ready it seems. I can't believe how high the ticket prices are. Do people think he is going to be out there performing a bunch of Journey tunes?

I believe these shows are to benefit his foundation for kids, so maybe people will be willing to dig a bit deeper and pay more knowing it's going to a good cause. I wonder if he's ever tried stand up comedy?

I guess Rachel Ann Go and the AMMO band are doing these shows for free then? I don't think so. It's been said before and I'll bring it up again, If the band is truly brothers in arms or what not, why not do a Journey show just for his charity? That would be bigger than all of these little shows he's doing playing as a cover singer.

Jon and Neal do know charity, From articles I have read about the band over the last 30 years, they along with Perry, Smitty, Augeri and most of the previous members have given tremendously to various causes over the years. They just don't have their PR people banging people over the head with it continuously.

Didn't they do something this last year in the Bay area?

Yep, at Raley field. Journey has always been charitable. This myth that they only became more giving since Pineda showed up is hogwash.
I would venture to guess that the contributions that Perry, Herbie and all the band members past and present have given to charity would probably be well with in the seven digit range.

Even the setup for the people running that flood charity or whatever it was probably wasn't transparent enough to see where the money was really going. It's hard enough to track charitable contributions in a developed country like here, imagine giving to organizations overseas where you really have to wonder where the money is going.
When I worked in a refuge camps for the Air Force in the Philippines, Pakistan, Africa, etc. even handing stuff to the people personally didn't guarantee anything as some of them would sell their relief goods for money as soon as they stepped out the gate or even worse be shaken down by local gangs, even corrupt police/government officials who would turn around and put the stuff on the black market. Very disheartening.

No. My friend went last year and said it was jam packed, about two thousand or more, and that Arnel was feeling the love from the audience. His fans had been living off the Zoo videos for well over a year and they were estatic to finally hear him sing those covers in person. She felt sorry for Lani b/c it was clear from the audience reaction Arnel was the draw.
