Ask Monker & Froy (Journey history)

[ArnelRox]

From reading Monker's thread, I was inspired. It's gonna be pretty boring here for the next few days w/some of our big players in Baltimore. Monker & Froy are Journey historians extraordinaire (so I've been told). Let's shoot off the questions we've always wanted to know & pick these boys' brains.

Ding, ding, ding! That is correct!

Since I'm a "word" person I'll stick to lyrics.

Which song uses "40 days" as something of a biblical reference to the 40 years of wandering?

Cool thread by the way!!!

[The_Noble_Cause]

Fans have always speculated that "Signs of Life" was the musical equivalency of flipping Perry the bird.

In other words, he can collect dust in his creepy Hollywood hills mansion, the band will continue to prevail.
