Not since George Tickner has Journey had a rhythm guitar player. According to Matthew's review of the London gig Jon Cain is playing a lot of rhythm guitar. Personally I would like to see him stick to the keyboards, not least because he looks so awkward with a guitar in his hands.

I think it would be cool if Journey employed a rhythm guitarist for the current tour. What do you think and who would you suggest?

I go for Tony Spinner.

From Toto? yeah for sure, not to mention he sings aswell, and has the good looks - he would be a great asset to Jourmey

Yeah, I bet they're dyin' to give a cut of their bank to an additional band member!

You're dead right there. Didn't think for a minute that they would, do this but just thought it would be neat if they did.

Wouldn't bother them a bit. They made Augeri and Castronovo equal partners when they clearly could have made them "salaried employees." This argument doesn't hold water. There's enough $$$ to to go around if they want to do this. Money will not be an issue.

I agree...besides, if they DID bring in a rhythm player he would clearly be a salaried employee... I suggest Paul Stanley!!!

I'm just impressed that he spelled candelabra correctly.

I hear Steve Augeri may be available.

Keep Cain on guitar and bring back Rolie.

Only way to do it.

It's an HM Strat. They came out in the late 80s. Larry said he loves it. I just wasn't using it all that much. I'd like to buy a standard Strat since I don't really care for the Floyd Rose style trems.

Ill be honest, there was no fucking way I could even try to spell it, i looked it up first, there you go, you know me pretty well by now

He plays geetar because it's easier to sequence (midi) keyboard tracks live. Plus it would really be obvious if there is a rythm geetar and no one on stage is playing it.

You can say that about pretty much everyone who has ever played guitar!

Dan, where do you get this information. Whether or not they share as partners in profits, It is my understanding that the only ones with voting rights are Cain and Schon. I might be wrong (and I'll be glad to defer to someone reliable knowledge to the contrary, but I do no believe Augeri, Castro or Valory share in anything other than merch profits....

Malcolm Young = classic rhythm guitarist...

Tony Spinner is great...but he's obviously booked up with something. He was going to do Luke's tour but has already had to bug out due to schedules. He's not available.
