Sadly for me sitting on the outside the whole Journey thing has become a bit of a joke. First with the 'Tape-Gate' thing and then JSS stepping in, being announced as the best thing since sliced bread and becoming the full time member of Journey, only to outed almost 5 minutes later.

Its about credability for me and Journey seem to have spunked that up the wall!

Im sure there are thousands that dont give a damn but for me a 'band' is more than the sum of the parts.


Dude, thats ousted not outed!

:shock:

"it's about credability for me and Journey seem to have spunked that up the wall!"

The credabilty issue as pointed out by Fire99 above is what I think has me and a lot of others most annoyed, concerned, however you want to put it. I mean, with no disrespect to Arnel's heritage, who could listen to this guy sing "Faith In The Heartland" and actually take him or the band seriously. For that reason, I am sure their song selections will be nothing but Perry-era hits.

Very well said. It has nothing to do with this Arnel character. He just happened to be picked by the wrong band at the wrong time. He is quickly becoming the brunt of criticism on Journey forums all over the Internet, but people are really not mad at him. People are mad at Jourey for doing exactly what you have said. Arnel is just going to become the scapegoat.

Good luck to all of them... but I won't be on for the ride.

The handling of Augeri pretty much sealed their fate when it comes to me.

"Arnel is just going to become the scapegoat."

That's too bad that some would make Arnel the scapegoat for their anger at Neal & Jon. I realize many here wanted JSS to be Journey's lead singer, but you know JSS is STILL singing and performing, just not with Journey anymore, so why take it out on Arnel?

You all still have JSS and he is making NEW music, which is what so many of you have said you wanted, I realize it is not with Journey, but it is still JSS singing, and going out there performing for you at shows. You HAVEN'T lost JSS, so why not "let go" of all the anger & negativity directed at Journey?

After all JSS seems to be doing VERY great on his own "with" or "without" Journey. His music carrreer certainly hasn't been damaged in any way by him being "let go" in Journey, IF anything his music carreer has GREATLY benefited from being with them. I'd say JSS came out of it MORE than ok in the end of it all.

If you support Arnel *in Journey* you are supporting Cain and Schon and the way they have driven tihs band into the ground. You are also, after the fact, supporting their dismissal of Jeff Scott Soto, who was shoved out of the way to make this possible.

i'd much rather see arnel fronting the zoo than journey.

i'm done hating on neal & co. it's a waste of time. how many times can i call them shitheads. a waste of time & breath... and they're not worth it really.

JSS ROCKS!!! }=C)))

At this point ya gotta wonder if Journey even supports the guy by now... I still say we will never see Arnel here in the states.
They will probably just use him to fulfill their commitment in chile and then dump him, sound familliar?

You said it, kiddo!!!! NEW music!!!!! I'm getting apathetic to Journey - that takes no energy at all! JSS on the other hand, now there's some music!

(Here's an observation:
Perry leaves and Augeri comes in and lo, he is loved (I thought he was a great guy/singer).
Augeri gets sick and really cannot sing so JSS steps into he breach and lo, he is LOVED! Big time, baby!

So......why would Journey think that dropping JSS and bringing in singer #4 would be any different? They were timid as baby birds with Augeri, inviting fans to a free "concert" - access to the band, wondering if he would be accepted...and then they got bold. To their eyes, now, it seems nobody cares who is singing! Discuss! :D :D :D Nah, it's been discussed to death....)

I agree. Then again, Arnel is not a baby - he's in his thirties, I believe. Did you see the number of viewings for that video?? Over 58,000!

What is happening in the comments is horrible. He has done nothing to deserve them, whatsoever, except want to sing with a band he's probably idolized since he was a kid.

Okay, never been a trouble maker...BUT... I'm still waiting for some creative type to make a concert ad very much like the Journey/Def Leppard ad last year. However, the new ad has the American flag on the left, and the Phillipines flag on the right. Over them, it says 'Journey' on the left, and 'The Zoo' on the right. Centered below it says, "Two bands, One singer. Coming to a county fair or a village near you. 2008."

Just a cynical thot...

If Arnel can keep his voice for a few years, record original material that's decent, they may yet have the last laugh.

He's a chameleon for sure but the voice has to be strong for him to cover so many singers that well.

His cover of Survivor's "The Search Is Over" is spot on.

Rerecording dirty dozen is a bad idea. It was discussed when JSS was there and got shot down. That's a bad idea no matter who's singing.

Own up, who is posting on YouTube as the almost completely illiterate SupremeRainbow? Amongst their bad grammar and spelling the perpetrator keeps quoting Melodic Rock music as melodicrock, hmm...:lol:

EDIT 1> Whilst I was joking with the above someone has left the following comment on the YouTube video in question -

CAMusicGuy (3 hours ago)
(Reply)
I think SupremeRainbow is AR (Ed) from melodicrock in a drunken stupor. He said he's from Maryland and he is using the same terms as that drunken Ed uses on melodicrock.


Whilst I absolutely don't believe that I do think the anger and animosity shown on this board in recent times has resulted in good people getting lumped in with the likes of SupremeRainbow.

EDIT 2> Okay after reading through some of this persons disgusting and distasteful comments I have to say that I honestly don't think I have ever seen such severe abuse and bile directed at anyone on a public part of the internet before. This person is obviously disturbed and after reading their unveiled homophobic, sexist and racist comments I have now narrowed them down to one of three people - Michael Richards, Dog the Bounty Hunter or Reardon!

Proof positive that SupremeRainbow is not on the same planet as the rest of us -

SupremeRainbow 6.9.2007
Steve Perry is a good rock singer hes not a great overall singer>many singers would Mop the floor with him Id outsing Perry on my worst day trust and believe Perry struggles on High notes and attempts notes way out of his range Perry would tell you himself hes not on Sam Cookes level whatsoever.yo​ur taste is in your mouth> Pe​rry sounds like Rod Stewart to many Youre another tonedeaf fool

SupremeRainbow 6.9.2007
I dont think I could outsing Perry> Im known to outsing him>Im a singer songwriter that Is known as one of the best on the eastcoast>I have a version of Faithfully that Is better than Perry vocally because I have the range to hit the notes clean without cheating In Perrys false contralto>​Youre delusional Im known as one of the best singers around>Ive​ just refused to subject myself to the music Industry and its satanic Influences my Cd is just about finished and will be on youtube Shor​tly>
