In the Eclipse style and colors.

Looks better; still doesn't do much.

I agree. Wish they would do more video commentary for the fans, even just a couple minutes.

Besides changing the colors (a remnant from the Lori Carpenter days) it's still the same engine running everything.

Embarrasingly primitive. Why doesn't this band have a first-class website?

Because they haven't found anyone but doofs that don't know wtf they are doing would be my guess.

I don't know what's worse; the sample audio clips from Amazon or the band's bio pics?

Talk about Deen Of The freakin' Dead.

LOL. The last one, Lori, seemed like a positive influence on Neal - got him to clean up and interact with his fans, even if she was ghostwriting the comments.

10 seconds in photobucket is all it took to give a little natural color to this. Do they actually think these washed out pictures look cool?

the site is way better than it used to be (not the last version but the older ones in black and gold).
The video things would be cool though.

But yeah, Peter Wolf. No kidding.

I honestly think this in intentional, to make the band look "harder", as opposed to the slick pop/rock persona they have developed over the years.
Castranova's photo is the worse. God, he looks ready for rehab.

There is no warmth in these pictures, which may be what the photographer was aiming for, but at the expense of making some of members look totally artificial, I don't like it.
Arnel looks more like a CGI character than a real human being, something out of a cut scene from a Japanese video game.

everybody wants the hard look these days. If you look soft, you look whimpy.
Seen Night Ranger's latest? YIKES.

If you have no problems about releasing a song like After All These Years, you shouldn't have any qualms about looking wimpy. Night Ranger's promotional budget can't be more than a quarter of what Journey has available to them so that comparison won't wash.

Letting your girl friend handle your web design to save money, it's obvious Perry ain't the only Jew in the band. :lol:

I think they should just use real concert photos. They're all good looking dudes, so I see no reason to use these terribly altered images.

I agree. Even natural pics at home or in the studio would be okay. These guys aren't looking to score with 16 year olds (anymore), no need for a Malibu Barbie makeover.

No....but he's the only one laughing to the bank, while 3/5s are bastardizing the Journey brand.... :lol:

But the girlfriend did a great job of rebuilding it. Prior to that, it was subpar.
