Being a journey frontman

by **marijuana57** » Fri May 23, 2008 2:46 pm

Hiyah people posting topics in here is really interesting getting better and better every minute but it's good to hear from you guys...So here it is Arnel did have an interview in the Philippines that living as a Journey (that interview was right after the chile concert it was posted in youtube anyway)frontman that there is a advantage and disadvantage at the same time. Having a serious thought of it :roll:

it is true in a way a guy being compared with the "guy" always to lived through his shadow and be compared. As the first asian guy to front an american band well, I've got no problem with that but let's face it might be a "problem" for some it's sad but also it's good a breakthrough for the asian artists that not all of them sing like William Hung :lol:

On my last last thought these fronting Journey you might sometimes think that a freaky curse does really exist don't yo think....? :shock:

Not one of them lasts but with Arnel you'll be the judge let's just wait for these new Journey saga as it is..... :wink:

PS I don't intend to hurt anybody (they already know who they are)just stating an opinion.

At this point it's not a blessing or a curse, it's a part time job. Steve Perry recorded most of the tunes when his nuts were still up as high as his vocal chords. The curse is finding someone in the same age bracket as the rest of the band that can sing the material. I'm sure when Neal found out Arnel was in his 40's he dumped a load. There is plenty of 20 year olds that can sing the catalog, but then it would like high school musical 3.

lol...

Yeah I know and this guy there just something in him that makes him special...but I know he still have a long way to go to prove himself. I'll post some pictures when I see the concert in Hammersmith Apollo in London this coming June 17.

That's gonna be a bloody rock en' roll

It's an honor to be the fronman for Journey, and all bullshit aside, I must say that each individual that has done so did it in an incredible fashion. Steve Perry simply set so the bar so damn high that we're sitting here 20+ years later still arguing about it. That motherfucker is the greatest singer that ever walked the planet. I play that Houston DVD for my friends that hate Journey and they sit there in awe of his vocal power, technique, emotion and delivery.

It's just you.

If history is any indication, Neal is a nice guy when you're a fan of the current frontman. But, as soon as your guy is dumped, he's the scum of the earth.

Stevew2 is a true Journey fan. Been around through all the lead singer changes, went to tons of concerts, spent lots of money on Journey .... I respect that.

(Disclaimer) I do not know him personally. Just from what I surmised through years of reading Journey forums.

Well that's why I can't blame them and never will they've been given the reason to

I am not a fanatic yet if I may say just enjoyin' their music. If ever that happen to this new journey then I'll cross the bridge when I get there..

Stevew, I was never a member of BT (only lurked), couldn't stomache all the kool-aid drinking for SA, as I was/am a Perryfan through and through. You posted quite regularly over there until you came in here to do battle with Deano over tapegate, then became a believer yourself. I was not a poster at the time, just enjoyed reading all the drama.
