Journey to Tour with Perry in 2008 - FALSE!!!!!!!

[finalfight]

. As for the studio thing my guess is they are rerecording some of the classics with their new vocalist.

If they are then I've finally lost whatever modicum of respect I may have ever had for Frig and Fro. Well, actually I had none anyway.

As Journey fans maybe its about time Frig & Fro became Forgive and Forget instead?

Sigh...if it's Arnel, the Journey is over. Ain't no amount of money could make me support that line up.

That's an understatement to say the least. I don't know ANYONE who would pay to see Journey with yet another new singer. They will become the laughing stock of the industry, and would be lucky to get booked at casinos.

Horse sh!t, there will be plenty of people who will pay to see this new line up. Hardcore and causal fans alike.

God forbid this be directed toward anyone in these forums but the fewer bigoted, racist fans they have the better. Who needs that kind of support anyway, its boarderline soccer hooliganism. When did it stop being about the music?

[Soto All The Way]

Our local rock radio station WCVS in Springfield, Illinois reported that there are rumors coming from reliable sources that Steve Perry is going to be touring with Journey in 2008. This station has always been correct about rumors that they have broadcast in the past regarding concert tours. They have been the first source that I heard about Steve Augeri / Journey, Jeff Scott Soto / Journey, David Lee Roth / Van Halen, and other tour rumors. I can only hope that they are right about this. I would think there must be some credible sources speaking out for them to broadcast something of this nature. They also said that Steve Perry was going to be in Nashville preparing his voice for the tour, and that the lineup would consist of "original" band members.

Now don't slam me for putting this rumor out, because I am only passing on what I heard on the radio. My wife heard it too, and we both smiled at each other and gave a high five. We are both HUGE Journey fans, and this would be a dream come true for both of us.

If this reunion happens, we'll be flying somewhere to see the first show - and probably several others also.

Why don't you fucking idots ever give up???? The MAN HIMSELF spoke the words that he wanted nothing to do with Friga and Fro and you just still keep stirring the rumor mill. He said LIVE and IN PERSON, he wants nonthing to do with Journey!!!!! You are simpless priceless.....These Perry rumor should be made into a Visa Priceless commercial.

I heard the pope was at a fucking Pittsburgh Resturant today too, does that make it a reliable source.......If you don't mind, post all you stupid ass fucking rumors on the Perry Boards so it'll keep the PerryHeads wet for the weekend......Get a life. What a fucking tool....

Perry is done, leave the fucking guy alone. You just never give up......

Are you one of Arnel's three relatives who voted on the poll earlier that you would pay to see Journey with lead singer #4? Do you really think 80% of Journey's fans are bigoted racists because they won't pay to see Journey with Arnel singing? If so, can I get some of what you are smoking?

[Soto All The Way]

If Perry tours with Journey in 2008 I will eat my own shorts.

Unless Steve Perry can do it to the point that HE feels he is giving the fans 110% he won't go out. He wouldn't want to disappoint us.

Stu, If Perry Tours, I'll drive up to Tangelo and eat your shorts!!!!!

Thats pretty obnoxious. This is a Journey board and as everyone knows its a roller coaster ride sometimes. What ever happened to freedom of speech? Cue your verbal tirade in 3...2...1 GO!

P.S - I won't be here to see it as i'm off to bed so you may as well save yourself getting an rsi from writing the same thing over and over and just copy/paste a witty retort from a previous response.

By your reckoning they were also a tribute band with JSS as no new music was created, save for Wings of Freedom (which was horrible). If they are merely a tribute band (which I don't believe) then given what I have seen and heard they are set to be a much better tribute band now than ever before.

Anyway, goodnight all! Have a great weekend.

I was wondering when u would show up and say something sensible.
Its all a wish and we know it, but as u and I know, its not going to happen, so sadly I will never get to hear him sing live and in living color. How sad for me but not for Mr. P. He has a wonderful life and I hope he is enjoying it.
Can we please change the subject.?

Who the hell is the new singer? any guesses, Stu.????????

[Voyager]

I don't like his frickin VOICE. He breaks on notes, he slides into others... it has NOTHING to do with his nationality.

Ditto. I thought Jeremey sounded much better - much more soulful and spirited. Arnel puts on a good karaoke performance at best. He wouldn't last one night on American Idol.

Good for you, personally I don't hear it. Its great that everyone has a different opinion - some people like Geddy Lee, some don't, some people dislike the timbre of Steve Perry's voice whilst others love it.

Out of respect, what's the point in getting so rilled up, it does no-one any good and the only issue it helps to raise is blood pressure. Anyhoo all this cussin' is making me tired so I really am off to la la land to dream sweet dreams of 'Steve Perry riding in to save the day'. now wouldn't that be something...

I thought I made it quite clear that it was not directed at anyone in particular via the wording and the new paragraph but to rephrase - I am sure the band won't miss the relatively few fans that fall by the wayside due to their non acceptance of Arnel for whatever reason.

I know, I know I am supposed to be in bed but its hard to switch off -its like car crash TV tonight! Definitely off now (I think)!

[Playitloudforme]

I respectfully disagree. He might be able to handle the odd Journey song intermixed with other band's songs, but an entire catalogue of songs, night after night? Nope. He was already cracking on the higher notes, sliding into them...

Fork over your bucks if you wish. Not for me.

American Idol type. Looks to me that Journey wants to pay slave wages. Disagree on him but respect your opinion bro.

My sister in law is a huge Journey fan and she thought Arnel sucked. She won't pay to see that and she is of the great unwashed who was ok with Augeri and Soto. She only wanted to hear the songs. No more. AWESOME!

This is a huge mistake. I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no doubt that the guy is a great singer. I am sure that Neal and the gang wouldn't hire him if he wasn't. Where my doubt lies is in the possibility of any singer other than Steve Perry being able to sell tickets for another Journey tour. If these guys are thinking Arnel is going to bring them a fat paycheck in 2008, they are fooling themselves IMO. As far as selling albums with a new singer onboard, I don't see it happening.

[Rockindeano]

Arnel can flat out sing. It's not only my opinion, but other professional singer's opinion as well.

You guys, (who we love), need to give this guy a chance. He is awesome.

[Voyager]

[I am sure the band won't miss the relatively few fans that fall by the wayside due to their non acceptance of Arnel for whatever reason.

If 80% of the fans constitutes a "few" then the "wayside" is going to be really full in 2008.

You need to understand that it has nothing to do with Arnel. It has to do with Journey fans not wanting to pat to see another karaoke performance. No offense meant to JSS or Augeri, but enough is enough already.

Journey sucks. I'd say more, but I promised Andrew I'd behave.

Have at it then dude. Even if Arnel was the most amazing singer on the face of the earth, I still have issues with the integrity of this band. As I said earlier, the only incarnation that would get me in a seat at one of their future concerts would be for Perry, and then, I'd be there ONLY because of him. The rest of the band mean nothing to me anymore. But then again, they never truly meant that much to me in the beginning either... it was always about the singer to me.

I have my dvds and cds. Journey is over, Party is over (for me).

Karaoke? Singing LIVE is NOT Karaoke. What SA did is fake. I am not bashing SA, as I will never bash anyone again, but Arnel is as live as you can get.

Only time will tell. I'll wait for the reviews and watch him on youtube "if" he is the new singer.
