Nobody Can Fuck With Journey, EVER!

[Journey/Survivor]

there's never been a band that can touch Journey for the complete body of work.

(...) there has never been another rock band to do the huge spectrum of music that Journey has done.

Journey is the baddest, most musical, most versatile band of all fuckin' time!!!!!!!!!

No band could follow them on stage and do the different amount of stuff that the boys did. NO BAND EVER!

JOURNEY FUCKING RULES!

Maybe this is not the right board to do it as it's full of journeyheads, but anyway...

There's never been a band that can touch TOTO for the complete body of work.

(...) there has never been another rock band to do the huge spectrum of music that TOTO has done.

TOTO is the baddest, most musical, most versatile band of all fuckin' time!!!!!!!!! (and this is a fact, I might add)

No band could follow them on stage and do the different amount of stuff that TOTO did. NO BAND EVER!

TOTO FUCKING RULES!

TOTO are awesome, no doubt about it. They and Journey are a lot a like in many ways. I have nothing bad to say about TOTO at all.

But at the same time, your wrong.

I always felt that Survivor's catalogue stacked up against Journey's very well - if not even better!

Andrew, Thanks for posting, but you're outta you're friggin' mind! Give me a samba that Survivor did that comes close to La Raza Del Sol. Give me some Reggae like Baby I'm leavin' you.

I loved Survivor and lifted weights to "Eye of the Tiger" in high school, but comparing the body of work to Journey isn't even close.

He's just a trouble maker.

That I am. Now back to "Vital Signs"....

"Summer and Smoke, Diamonds and Dust, Go where you will, do what you must"- Broken Promises An underrated gem which VS has so many of.

BUT the one song I think that can compete with Perry/Journey '81 would be the tune Silver Girl. Its got EVERYTHING in it.

Make me trouble maker in a different league

Uh... I hope that is a joke. After Eye of the Tiger, all Survivor ever did was emulate the Journey formula to achieve any of the success they got.

I think it was Frankie Sullivan who said they were actually trying to emulate Foreigner.

To some extent they intentionally went in a Journey-ish direction, but they weren't all out copying Journey.

Mick Jones told me that he thought that Survivor were trying to copy Foreigner. And again, I would say that they used a similar style and direction, but they weren't all out copying them by any means.

I made the Foreigner comment before I saw your post.

Interesting tid bit about Mick Jones' comment. I would wager that Survivor from 77-81 were closer to Foreigner's sound.

That said, Survivor's founder Jim Peterik had been around back in 1970 (having a hit no less) before Journey or Foreigner.

Peterik formed the Ides Of March in 1964, at the age of 13. And as you mentioned, they had a huge hit in 1970 with "Vehicle."

Yep. And you can take that to the Bank.

I think we must acknowledge is that most bands of the mid and latter 70's did infact "change" their musical styles to make the sales. It was inevitable. There's a fraternity association involved I think as well. There was no competition as such. Either you had to make it or be lost in the shuffle.

Andrew's not going to like seeing you coming in here and stirring... oh... oops. Hi Batpants.

Read that and all I could think of was "tune in next week, same 'Batpants, same 'Batshit."

You forgot your all important apostrophe, though. Can't have someone mistaking Andrew for Val Kilmer now, could we?

[Tito]

That's pretty much the way I've always felt. Journey, to me, from 1981-1983 is the greatest band of all-time.

The Cain era.

Survivor does have an underrated catalog but I wouldn't go that far. Also, not to disrespect any of the musicians but station to station Journey has better musicians with the possible exception of lead singer. Perry gets the edge of Bickler probably but Jamison v. Perry is a draw (some would say Perry, some would say Jamison).

If I were to say that I'd be tared and feathered on here.


Here's how I'd compare the 2 bands...

I'm only comparing Journey's Escape line-up with Survivor's Eye Of The Tiger & Vital Signs line-up's

Lead vocals: Jimi Jamison vs Steve Perry...slight edge to Jamison.
Perry vs Bickler...edge to Perry...although Bickler was/is better than a lot of people seem to realize.

Guitar: Neal Schon vs Frankie Sullivan...edge goes to Schon for soloing...riffs and rhythm-playing go to Sullivan.

Keyboards: Jonathan Cain vs Jim Peterik...edge to Cain.

Drums: Steve Smith vs Marc Droubay...in terms of technical ability, Smith easily wins, but there are some aspects of Droubay's drumming that I like better.

Bass: Ross Valory vs Stephan Ellis...slight edge to Valory.

Songwriting: Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan vs Jonathan Cain and Steve Perry....slight edge to Peterik and Sullivan.

Overall: In my opinion they rank pretty much even. Neither one is far better than the other.

Cain and Schon over Peterik and Sullivan. Schon over Sullivan is a clean sweep.

Dude, you're going to get skewered and bbqed on your own board for saying something like that.....even though I will not discredit your opinion, because I think it has some merit...

Yep!! .... Journey, ........BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!

TOTO are awesome, no doubt about it. They and Journey are a lot a like in many ways. I have nothing bad to say about TOTO at all.

I would have liked to see them tour together actually. Would be a nice fit. Schon and Luke playing together on the same stage would be terrific. Only thing that would make it better is if Terry Kath were still alive to join 'em.

Maybe you should have expanded a little more on the reasoning behind your proclamation that Journey is the"BEST BAND EVER".
(and if you say it's because they have Arnel, you're gonna get docked serious loon points).

Damn, I missed you saying that Andrew! I like Survivor but no way-NO WAY-do they stack up against Journey in any way, shape, form or fashion my good man.

"BEST BAND EVER" is a pretty subjective statement. If it's her favorite band of all time, she's in good company.
