I'll tell ya what's wrong.
Look at what other classic album
was big during Escape's initial run up
the charts...
PYROMANIA!!!
Maybe Matty's peeps were just
being loyal to the home team with no regard
for the better music:lol:

It's a dark and shameful episode in our nation's history. I'd be grateful if you didn't bring it up again.

Pyromania is a great album tho bro. Gotta admit, the harmonic guitars are really catchy.

[Andrew]

How about this. Journey are even less popular in Australia.

The biggest hit they ever had was Steve Perry's Oh Sherrie

Oh the shame. Still, if they did a tour here, there's a big underground following of the band....just a small melodic scene generally speaking.

Hey CH...Pyromania was two or three years later, I think...and it was a bigger hit in the States than it was here. We always thought they were a bunch of pansies.

Naw, they weren't that far apart.
Escape came out in july '81 and Pyromania came out in jan '83.
Escape took awhile to gain big momentum. Pyromania was a hit
right out of the gate because of the "Photogragh" video on MTV.
I was joking about the UK supporting them over Journey, BTW

I just remember listening to the Top 20 Album Countdown every sunday
on the local Pittsburgh station, WDVE, and every week it swapped;
Escape #1, Pyromania #1.
And I wasn't dissing Pyromania. I did call it a "Classic" and it is.

Ah..okay...I didn't realise it took so long for Escape to gather full momentum.

And CH...of course I knew you were joking! Even though it is true that the UK audiences couldn't accept the blindingly obvious reality that Journey are far superior to DL.

As for Pyromania...well, I liked Photograph...but other than that...I always thought there was something phoney about DL.

Pyromania's weak compared to Hysteria.

[McNeil]

I grew up in Europe; I lived in the UK, Sweden, (West) Germany, and Italy, and didn't live in the US until I turned 16.

Journey was bigger than Chicago, Foreigner, and Styx in the late 70's and through the mid 80's. I say this unequivocal certainty, and the record sales and chart figures confirm this. Just because she preferred Petey Cetera crooning in his unbearable falsetto to The Voice, does not give her artistic license to make unsubstantiated claims. Believe me, I was desperately trying to get a girl...any girl...to give me my first kiss starting in 1980 (and I was unsuccessful until 1985), and any time you wanted to set the atmosphere right at a school dance, you asked the DJ to play "Open Arms" or "Faithfully" - not "(It's) Hard to Sing - I'm Sorry). Still, the review was pretty damn good. Shania, we are the same age, and we both grew up in Europe...what is your recollection of Journey's influence and popularity?

Incidentally, Jeremey, when are you guys coming back to the Carolinas?

"Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try."
- Homer (not the Greek one, the other guy, the one on TV)

Can we please quit beating up on Chicago?? Its not their fault the stupid reviewer named them.... they have released some classic AOR....and their is room for them as well as Journey..... its all good man!!

They are totally different hard to compare them I think.

Have to agree with Red here,Hysteria was so much more inspired,had some huge songs on it.

Test it out this way...count from the top of your head the songs you remember from Pyromania and the ones from Hysteria.

My result:2 from Pyro and 6 from Hysteria.And I am not a die-hard fan.

I can think of 1 from Pyro and 2 from Hysteria. All crap.

[AR]

I like Pyromania hands down over Hysteria. Hysteria was the start of Leppard going away from being a hard rock band.

High and Dry is their best release.

I'll agree with that.

[belar]

I like all of DL's releases, even Slang! I'd have to say, though, that Hysteria is one of my favorite albums of all time - there's not one song on there that I regularly skip. I'd put it up there in my mental top 10 with Frontiers, Escape, Boston's debut, couple of Aerosmith CDs, couple of Zeppelin CDs, Back In Black, etc.

[Soulful Rocker CoCo]

The bitch doesnt have a clue. She shouldve dont her homework before tryin to review Journey. She didnt even bother checkin out Jeff's long resume to find out that the guy doesnt need any breaks between songs to lay down backstage. Her damn name reminds me more of the poodle perms than anything else! Im just glad she at least got the name right and didnt call him James Scott Soto like that dusche bag from Columbus did!
Damn you William Wallace for giving these guys the right to have their own land !! Had they been part of England, theyd known more about Almighty Neal and Sir Soto!

holy shit Bro... you read my mind! You'd think she been taught... ahhemm the Wallace motto "Aye FREEEEE-DOMMMMMM"... to look, act, wear what you want (needless to say uh the "man kilt skirts" ... well, guess she knows about freedom of speech. Well, my long lost brotha how have you been?.. finally catching up on some of these threads.. boy i've been missing out ... tons of commotion going on time to get these fingers busy

AYE Freee-dommm Alright

[Deb]

Poodle permed.....what a prick!! The same morons say this about Brian May out here, both of us have NATURAL fucking curls, not PERMED! If anything, I burned the shit straight for the Soul SirkUS era, I hate ignos out there who use that phrase, you don't see them calling Perry hair 'ironed'!

I know - I have natural curls too - fuck them .. if THAT is what they are focused on .. then you know you did well

Just keep growing them curls! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxgryv4QEu4
