I think Arnel is the long missing ingredient that Journey has needed. I still say that I would have ultimately preferred JSS taking them onward, but we weren't afforded that. But this way, I can see Journey and JSSB. That's a win, win.

I hear ya. Wonder if Journey will ever revive/rework the one original song they did with JSS.

In looking of other stuff, I see the Wal promoting Revelation pretty often. Usually next to Clay Aiken's new one.

If the "missing ingredient" is a tenor for hire who can hit notes, then you're right.
Personally, I'm looking for someone who not only covers the catalogue, but can take the band to greater heights.

Looking at the last 10 years; I guess you don't consider getting songs on the radio prior to what is looking like a major release for a new album greater heights?

Glad Journey is getting airplay, but record sales and radio play really aren't the true measuring stick of musical artistry. A part of it, perhaps, but not the alpha and omega of an artist's ability.

I keep looking at your av of Misplaced Childhood and it makes me smile.....i was lucky enough to see parts of this come together in the studio and always got backstage passes to the gigs - the best ones were where this album was previewed prior to release....all because my older brother went to school and was (still is) a good friend of Fish - i'm originally from a small town called Dalkeith, where Fish was born - he is a brilliant guy - very witty, sarcastic and enjoys a beer. My brother has tapes of him playing guitar and fish singing but he won't put them out as they are crap and he is still in touch with the man...p.s. his latest solo album is excellent.

No, not when you consider that their last major release, Arrival, also got limited play on classic rock stations, as well.
