Long story short - somebody in the Production Dept. laughed and said they need to "YouTube" to find their next Singer.
To which Todd replied:
"Hey, Pineda! Can ya do a good Steven Tyler impersonation??"....what's up with that....?
Some people in the US have figured out who Pineda is and that he has a reputation of being like a mynah bird
Actually, I think he has a reputation of a guy that can come in and get the job done. A Joke? Hardly.
A joke for Journey??? Hardly false.
Journey is more relevant now since Raised on Radio to Journey fans and the general public. Perry fans? Not so much, but that's understandable. Some get that Perry ain't coming back and can move on. They're doing big touring biz (or just did), had a number one DVD, a top ten album, playing countries they've never been to before. Yeah, he's a joke, totally not helping the band.
No, I disagree with you. More relevant since ROR? Wrong. Trial by Fire was far more relevant than anything since ROR. Big touring biz, OK. When they package them with 2 other bands who couldnt? Did you see Def Leppards tour gross with Poison and Cheap Trick???? How about REO, STYX and 38 Special??? Can Journey play stand alone and fill up a 7000 seat theater with a little known opening act no way, unless tickets are around $30. Arnels novelty is wearing off with a lot of people. With JSS or Kevin Chalfant I believe every fruit they enjoy today that you speak of would be there x 2. A few more live TV performances and the casual Journey fan will back off when they see arnie boy go into seizure on the stage, like the Super Bowl.
I had a depo and there were four attorneys there, and they were discussing the Super Bowl and how much they love Springsteen. I mentioned Journey was going to be in Orlando, and the attorney said he loved the new singer after watching him on SB. I asked him, you liked his performance, and he said he was a great singer and the other three attorneys concurred. I said some on my music blog said he was awful. They said, not at all, a great voice. So just like the group at my house that thought it was a fine (not great) performance I have a feeling most thought that.
And his Oprah appearance was great. And his performances in concert this whole year aren't a novelty. It's a talented man giving it his all up on stage, and the fans loved him this year. He had great reviews almost across the board from MR members, Europe and here, written up. In this climate as a 30 something year old band they are relevant and very successful.

but definitely not to me, not to his fans, not to the victims of typhoons in the Philippines and most especially not to the poor people he's helping under his foundation.
