Next album, should Rolie rejoin?

by **StoneCold** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 7:27 pm

I think Rolie should come back and do some trade off vocals with AP and help write. Possibly might be an album better than Revs. Think there's any chance of it happenin'?

by **Matthew** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 9:22 pm

Has Rolie wrtten anything especially memorable or successful in last 28 years? I'm not saying he hasn't. It's just that I haven't heard a single song that would make me think: now that's the guy to restore the quality of Journey's music.

I've always thought he was a talented hammond organ player but a so-so singer/song-writer. But can anyone recommend some great post-Journey Rolie songs?

by **Greg** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 10:11 pm

I think it would be great if Rolie came back to Journey. Of course, I'd rather see Perry back! :wink:

by **ScarabGator** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 10:26 pm

I'd love to see him back but wont happen-Cain is the chief song writer and penned Journey's biggest hits. You would never see Rolie write Open Arms or AATY and apparently thats what Schon likes also.

by **Saint John** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 10:29 pm

I voted no. This band is fine as is. I don't want Rolie or Perry back. Though I do wish them both the best of luck. They're two immensely talented individuals whose time in Journey is greatly cherished. But by their own accord, their "journey" is over. I would certainly still be on board if either/both came back, but I don't think that's what's in the best interest of the band or the fans at this point. Things just couldn't be much better than they are now.

Not only should Rolie join...He should replace that twinkle-toed faggot of a yeast infection friga...

I vote for a fight. Gregg Rolie could probably kick Friga's ass 1/2 drunk. That would be so fucking cool...'celebrity death match: Fight over the keys. We've found our singer through youtube...now we'll decide on our keyboard by taking the one that's not dead'

I'd be very interested to see what Rolie would offer on the next studio album and it would be awesome if he could join Journey for one more tour.

Given that Journey are targeting an audience with only a casual relationship to them then it probably doesn't matter that much who is playing keyboards. As for the serious, long-term fans...the return of Rolie might provide some incentive to get many of them interested again...but the likely income from this renewed interest wouldn't be enough to excite anyone within the Journey corporation.

You might be onto something there, Frankie-baby. These guys have never really been conventional with how they recruit members... they lied to the singer and ninja'd the new singer in under the wire, they swiped the piano guy from their opening act, they formed a new band and subsequently stole the drummer, they went shopping at the Gap, and finally they quit leaving their house for that shit and sat at home in their boxers for two days watching videos on the internet. So why not hold a Journey Deathmatch? Rolie will win.

Pick up a copy of Rolie's Gringo CD, Recommended tunes "Hands of Time", "I couldn't lie to You" and "I will get to you"

Instead of including simply choices A & 2, you should have added choice D: "Yes, that would be cool...BUT No, can't/won't happen"

One call to the boys in Franklin Park and Gregg Rolie would be playing the keys for Jimmy Hoffa.

One on one, Rolie may be able to win a fight with Cain. However, if it's a no rules, Chicago Street Fight - Cain would kill him, literally.

Bullshit....El Gringo would fucking rip that gay-ass tutu-wearing, yeast-infected, cod-piss choking wanker into little bits of fish food. Cain would be literally chumed into the water as El Gringo goes fishing on a calm sunny saturday afternoon. He'd chuck Friga's vaginal remains into a chum bucket, drop it into the water, hock a loogie into the sunny san fran bay and start catching game fish, swilling rum and micro-brew beer like it's going out of style.

And then he'd return later that evening with tuna steaks for the remaining members of the band, reminding them all that their diner was caught with the remains of their faggot-ass singer responsible for broadway-style stomach churning ballads ....and in a split second, Deen, Fro and Valory would agree to shed the gayness of the dirty dozen and Journey would start kicking ass in grandiose fassion, once again. Arnel would be instructed, by fear of not only Fro's hidden glock, but El Gringo's barbed fish hook, that he should never croon again...and that if he didn't fall in line with Journey's new ass kicking methodology, he'd be served up for fresh catch of Mahi Mahi...

WHAT is false? Perry got sneaked the fuck in under false pretenses to audition, Jon did play for the opening act, Deen came from Bad English, Steve Augeri did work for the Gap company, and Arnel came from YouTube. And Rolie WOULD win.

You're WRONG! The second Rolie would go to start his car in the morning he would be dead. That f-cker will blow up.

Friga can barely get out of bed in the morning without inserting a tampon and calling a therapist to right his emotional balance.

Strangegray, I think SteveW has hacked into your account.

by **hoagiepete** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 1:08 am

No only yes...but hell yes.

This would inject some freshness to the band and push them along for another year or two. While I love the hell out of Revelations, it blends right in with every album since Frontiers.

The music from the Rolie era had much more depth (IMO) and it would be great to hear his influence one more time. Bring back the Hammond B3!!

But...can't see it ever happening.

What's with all the references to killing ex-Journey members? Three or four on this page alone with no smileys or no "j/k"... blowing Gregg up? Seriously, its become sick and kinda of creepy. :shock:

It's inferred. Of course we're all kidding (well...except maybe for Strangegrapes :lol:

). "J/K" and "IMO" are fucking stupid terms and shouldn't be used.
