For those of you who think it's about money for Journey...it's not! They have money. Theu are bringing skilled excellent music to the world in a time where lip synching is accepted and normal and half naked women are cast as singers!
Did none of you actually hear the skill and beauty of the song writing?
Did you not notice that the show focuses on music not antics.
Do you not realized that Jon Cain is not "looking bored" but actually playing a piano-which is not that easy.
Neal Schon is one of the greatest guitarist I have ever played with! Omar Hakim is possibly the greatest drummer in the world.
Just because someone is successful does not mean they are corporate.
These men are sharing their dream with you and brought Omar and I in. They changed our life.
Listen to the actual music...Vortex is beautiful...
Noone even mentioned my piano solos...do you NOt CARE that we play our hearts out for you?
Was my playing also fake corporate stuff-sorry that I was'nt naked!!!
PS LISTEN WITH YOUR HEART

PS Steve Perry was imitating Sam Cooke...
white people have appropriated rock for years...Arnell Pineta is a genius singer. He has a rich voice whose spirituality is undeniable. He is one of the best singers in rock. Time will prove this!
------------------------
My question is ...When and IF will this Racial shit will stop
If someone does not like the music/performance ....DON'T blame it on the color of their skin
People are NOT.... all going to have the same opinions..
Music is for everyone...enjoy it, live it, love it, share it, sing it... but damn you don't have to be a hater

Perry's good natured bonhomie & the world’s most charmin smile,knocked fans off their feet. Sportin a black tux,gigs came alive as he swished around the stage thrillin audiences w/ charisma that instantly burnt the oxygen right out of the venue.TR.com
