"Added Today" makes me think otherwise.

I don't think so. It says "Copyright 2011 Wal-Mart."

If it''s the video in this thread then yes, we already slagged it back in June. :lol:

But, if it's new to you, it's all good.

I think a band like Journey shouldn't do something half assed like this video. Either put out a quality product or don't do it at all.

Other bands with replacement singers have put out far better videos recently.

Yes

Dude. Come on. You may not like the song, and granted this video is cheap looking, but it is no where near the abomination that the SW video was. The SW video was plain embarassing and fodder for jokes still to this day.

We'll probably find a Made In China sticker somewhere in the backround if we look hard enough.

That is one shitty video! Why does Journey even bother to put something like this together? Obviously done by one of the members or a wife. If they dont want to spend much money, go get some film students to do it for free. It looks as bad as one of those videos you get when you go skydiving or bungee jumping.

The SW vid at least has uber comedic value.
The attempt at a COH video is probably good for some licensed-karaoke revenue --all it needs are lyric subtitles.

great music, terrible terrible lyrics, and a non existent chorus.
its not quite as bad as the magic moments song though, which had a great intent,

Resonate should have been the rocker,
and AIP on adult contemporary ...

both true B side Frontiers.

Hey it is new to me too! But it is great. The guys look good.

For some of ya, geez throw eggs at the band while your at it! Everyone's a critic! LOL

I am glad they are doing what they can when they can.

These days music industries are not good to the old bands. And the stuff coming out right now from new groups makes me want to take a drill and put it to my temple than hear them.

I am a fan, have always been and always will be. I support these guys and wish them great success. :D

WOW!!!! First time I had seen the Yes video. You mean to tell me that is a replacement singer for Yes? Holy Cow!!!! He sounds just like Jon Anderson!! Cool video as well! Journey definitely screwed the pooch with their video attempt!

If they're going to do a video on the cheap, they should just use concert footage, like they did for the videos of HP, ATW, and FITH.
