Deano,
What the fuck is the deal dude? You've made a complete 180 on your opinion on the band with no explanation that I've seen. I've heard all of the boots prior to Indy and they fuckin sucked. You agreed. I seen them at Indy in person and they sucked, no different than the boots. Now you're the Journey/JSS cheerleader. What's up with that? What's changed that you've seen that's changed your position? I understand you have seen the band since Indy. Was this show the piece that changed the situation for you? Or did you get a good hummer from a groupie that changed your opinion? What gives man?
I'm not baggin on JSS either. He has great stage presence, good moves, excellent leadership and is a great vocalist. The bottom line is that he doesn't sound like Journey. So why do you think they are on the right track now?
Secondly, if Journey now has a shot, how are they different than SS? I don't see Cain or Valory having a huge influence on the sound of the band. World Play got a fair amount of press and didn't do fuck. Schon was even pissed about it and lost money on the deal. So if SS didn't do fuck with World Play, how do you see Journey with JSS being different? If its the music driving the boat, I don't see how Journey is now the shit when SS did fuck all.
What has changed your opinion on the band that I haven't seen? Granted, I haven't heard a boot of any shows post the "long lay off" that was supposed to give JSS his recovery. If someone has a boot of one of the shows after the break, I'd love to hear it. If its better I'll change my opinion. I've seen no evidence that Journey is any better now than they were at Indy.
Chalfant sounds a fuckload more like Journey than JSS so I don't get your position on him. Isn't it about the music first? Did The Storm and Two Fires completely suck?
And Hugo, what's your beef with him? His records are better than Journey's material since 86, he sounds like Journey and rocks harder than Journey has for years. For fucks sakes, Evolution sounds more like Journey than Journey does now. Who's really the cover band?
L8r,
Aaron
