I told all of you fuckers that this would happen when the tour started. I heard they had a lot of big "surprises" in store for us. I think the MP3 player is a fucking HUGE deal. I suspect there will be more "surprises" as well.

If they did get on the late shows AND one of the rock songs catches fire on the radio.....we could be talking double platinum

Im hoping that one of the surprises would be RockBand and GuitarHero creators should do some promotion like the ZVue did. A JOURNEY THEMED RB or GH equipment and setlist. Isnt that a perfect Thanksgiving and Christmas present?? Im sure kids gonna love it.

Exactly, how is that happening? What are current sales figures, right now?

"Somebody" (i.e., band management, or the band, or the album label, or Wal-Mart) has to pay for the audit and certification. Until somebody pays for it, it's certified-nothing. They may have already started the audit process -- don't know if that's true or not -- or they might be waiting to have it done at a certain time (for marketing purposes).

Please. I'm sure you'd like to think that, but you would probably find yourself bitterly disappointed. They do, however, appreciate your obsession with them.

As for me, who has always leaned more toward being a naysayer and the classification of "wait and see" rather than to get in line in order to hold Neal's jock strap, I understand why the CD is selling like it is. It's not because of Arnel Pineda, although he does have some to do with it. The success is truly pointed mostly toward Wal-Mart. You can't tell me for one minute that a casual Journey fan would jump at the chance to buy the brand new album with the fourth lead singer in a decade for the usual price of a new CD ($12 - $18) rather than buying what just about equals a box set for $12. I am not denying that the concerts and the TV appearances have helped record sales, but the majority of it should go to Wal-Mart. And now, we have Wal-Mart re-releasing the disc with a Zune player? Do I expect that to sell? Sure I do! But, as long as Wal-Mart and Jrny mngt are coming up these crazy package deals, can you truthfully say it's all because of Arnel Pineda and Revelation? I'd say probably not. I still hold firm that if Arrival had the same opportunity and marketing, heck even Generations, Journey would've had the same success.
However, what could very well happen is to reach enough folks with these package deals to get them hooked on this version of Journey, and then hope that the next album can hold up on its own. IF this happens, I can definitely say Journey has finally done what they needed to do to get back into the spotlight and I will be convinced that Journey does NOT need Steve Perry anymore. Otherwise, I'm still just convinced it's genius marketing rather than the music itself, although I DO believe the new CD is very good. However, I also thought Arrival was very good as well.
