Yeah...ok. He was average at best. The rest were terrible...save Paul Taylor. That dude was good. The drummer is the worst I've ever heard. His backgrouund vox were criminally bad. Way to not sell out high school gyms. He needs Journey. Journey does not need him. 26,000 people in Chicago agreed with me last year.


Todd Jensen is good too. Here with Neal, Deen and Paul Rodgers. Love this clip! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK6ydCIHW2E


Todd is also a sweetie! Talked to me a long time after the Hardline concert! He also wrote me on two occasions when I sent him a get well card.............he was in a crash in Germany and got hurt..........nice guy, treats the fans great! :D Plays darned good too! :wink:

Now I hope you don't feel like everyone is ganging up on you, but sometimes you may be putting that "big target" on yourself, as I do as well. And I reckon there will be a lot of Guitarists on this board what will disagree with you, like any instrument or singing, there is a lot of purpose involved, you have things like "Feel, tone, technique, attitude, quality) all sorts of things involved. You can't just simply replicate Neal Schon, it can't be done because when Neal plays, that's him, his personality is being expressed in his playing, just like when Steve Perry sings a song, or Steve Smith's playing the drums, it's all the same.

Try replicating the great Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits.

Oh C'mon SJ. I saw him at the AJ Palumbo center in Pittsburgh and it was completely sold out. Your being overly dramatic. And 26,000 is great. How many did they play in front of in the early/mid 80's? About 26,000 times 3. Don't go there with those numbers. And one million(really half a million, if both discs don't count) albums sold? If Arnel can just help them pump out about 75 million more, they'll be equal to what "The Voice" did with Journey.

Moyes Lucas is a great drummer and singer. Explain why you think that SP, a known perfectionist, would have auditioned and hired people who can't play and sing? That's stupid. And if you think he NEEDS Journey, let's see if they get paid for all of his upcoming record sales and tour profits, like he DID for all of the Revelation sales and tour. Then we'll see who needs who.

I understand about feel. I'm just saying that the parts were played note for note and no one could tell it wasn't Neal if they had closed their eyes. I can surely tell it's Arnel and not SP. That's easy.

From what I have seen of the FTLOSM tour videos Brewster played Schon's solos more accurately than any of the the tribute bands I have seen. Brewsters playing of FTLOSM is stunning. Every solo fits the song. Melodic and tasteful - just like Schon used to be. Is it any coincidence that Schons playing has become less melodic post Perry?

Agreed. Steve Pery will ALWAYS remain the greatest sing ever to me. It's just a shame that through selfishness, insecurity and silly grudges that he kept his talent from us. Journey fans deserve better. We were faithful and he wasn't. Maybe he'll tour with shitty musicians again. It's all we can hope for.


Now SJ, you're wrong about shitty musicians. The FTLOSM band were killer players. He would never have hired "shitty musicians", and you know it. Lincoln Brewster is every bit the guitarist that Neal is.


Yeah, and Arnel is every bit the singer Perry was.


That's different Gideon. I'm just saying that he played Neal's parts FLAWLESSLY. I love Neal's playing. As for Arnel and SP, we know that the voice is very different from a guitar. Many more possible inflections are able to be used by the human voice than a physical instrument. Arnel can kinda hit the notes SP did, but it sounds very different. The clips of the FTLOSM tour, the guitar parts are almost EXACT to what Neal played, right down to Lincoln's tone.

Believe me, I give Neal credit for CREATING all of those fantastic parts, he's a legend, but it's much easier for someone to cop his technical prowess than to copy Perry's.


Yeah, and until Lincoln Brewster CREATES the body of work NS has, to say he is as good as him is just stupid. I'm not discounting LB talent. But don't you dare try to say he is just as good as Neal when all you know him from is trying to pretend to be Neal. Please. I'm not even gonna get into the Arnel/Perry discussion. Ridiculous.

For the record, as Madsplash picked up and Onestepper seems to have missed, I was being sarcastic about Arnel being equal to Perry. It was a bullshit claim that countered the equally bullshit idea that Brewster was equal to Schon.

I realize that text lacks nuance, so I apologize for not making it clear. But, on the other hand, I've argued ad infinitum that Perry was better than Arnel in his prime.

OK. Can you please right now, say for a fact that SP hasn't recorded new material and won't be releasing an album this year? Please put all of my lies and misinformation to rest.

And as for "spreading rumors", I'm doing nothing of the kind. Just saying what I've been told. Anyone can take it for what it's worth.

This will all play out soon enough, won't it?

ah, is this your motive? do you think someone here is withholding secret information? are you going to continuously & obnoxiously post your "predictions" in the hopes of annoying someone into correcting you with a specific release date? that's what "i've been told" you were doing.

I know you did, and I wasn't referring to you. I was referring to the punk that thinks that LB is of equal talent as NS. It's a ridiculous statement, but not surprising considering who it came from. And equally not surprising that he chose to ignore it, when faced with a legitimate challenge. Something he's done numerous times in this thread alone.

Actually, no they can't tell you anything they know and if they do, they should be reprimanded or fired. It does not matter whether it is a physician bound by confidentiality or the desk clerk. I worked at a pharmacy as a cashier once and even there it was made very clear that people's prescriptions or personal information are private and not to discuss them with anyone. If, for example, some hospital worker saw SP in the hospital, found out he was a patient, and then checked the posted surgeries - first of all, it was none of their bloody business! And then to tell you or anyone else was unprofessional to say the least.

Unfortunately I am well aware that this stuff happens - that does not make it right. What business is it of yours to be posting another person's private medical information (real or assumed) on a public message board? This really crossed the line.


Oh, chill out. I'm not posting anyone's "private medical information". I'm just saying what I've been told. If people knew HALF of what went on in hospitals, it would shock them.

I wish our world was 5% as perfect as some people think that it is. :roll:


Read your own posts - you were the one claiming to have inside information regarding SP having surgery from someone who works at the hospital. The fact of whether or not someone had surgery is private medical information. Grow up.

Now playing: Danger Danger - Live It Up


Erm, when a woman that far out of puberty goes from flat to D overnight, reporting it is simply an observation and it's usually in the form of 'did she or didn't she'? When Britney Spears was in the hospital and specific information about her condition was reported in the papers, the hospital investigated. Staff members who had accessed her file with no reasonable justification for doing so were immediately fired. It didn't matter whether they had revealed the information to anyone else, snooping through a patient's medical record is an invasion of privacy. Revealing information about a patient to people who have no need to know is illegal and that is how Madsplash is claiming he knows about this. Broadcasting it in public demonstrates a complete lack of respect for the privacy of the individual in question.

This isn't the same as reporting that someone saw SP go into a Starbucks and revealing what kind of coffee he ordered. If Madsplash is telling the truth, there is no justification for revealing what he learned - wanting to feel important is not good enough. If I inadvertently learned private information about another person, I would have the basic decency to keep it to myself.

No. Not doing that at all. So you've now confirmed there is a release date, we just can't quite get the SPECIFIC date yet. OK, that's cool. I'm sticking with November.

I realize that text lacks nuance, so I apologize for not making it clear. But, on the other hand, I've argued ad infinitum that Perry was better than Arnel in his prime.


I know you did, and I wasn't referring to you. I was referring to the punk that thinks that LB is of equal talent as NS. It's a ridiculous statement, but not surprising considering who it came from. And equally not surprising that he chose to ignore it, when faced with a legitimate challenge. Something he's done numerous times in this thread alone.



Punk. Yea, you're a real tough guy. Again, to my face, I'd love to have someone call me a punk that doesn't know me.
Grow up. I ignored nothing. Stated my opinion and moved on, you know, like mature people do.

Punk? Yea, real tough TALK. :roll:

Yeah, what about if this guy called you a punk? what will you do ;)

Look I am very much against when things ever get to a personal level here, I think it's just childish - we should never be personally insulting people here on a personal level, it's not necessary IMO.


Agreed, Vladan.

True, my feet stink pretty bad at the moment, need to wash them!

Joking aside, I think insults here should always be spoken with great affection, never intended to be personal or mean. This is a community for discussion and especially when the participants are adults in their 30s - 50s, there's little room for bashing, in my opinion.

I will agree with you that they SHOULD always be. However, that has not always been the case. In fact a lot of stuff has gotten down right mean. Again, my apologies.

I just bought a new Journey hat, and now I'm looking for slippers 8)

Oh, absolutely. I don't know about you, but I've caught a lot of shit without flaming. I think the trick is to try to manage to be firm but not give it back. The one I feel the worst for is Tito, lol. I admire his patience and good humor about it.

Bathrobe next on the agenda? :lol:

No apology needed, I'm not offended, just don't like be called certain things. Funny stuff doesn't bother me. I was also having a bad day yesterday, so take what I said with a grain of salt.

No. Not doing that at all. So you've now confirmed there is a release date, we just can't quite get the SPECIFIC date yet. OK, that's cool. I'm sticking with November.

no. not confirming anything at all. so now you're continuing your obnoxious posts. ok, that's cool. i'm sticking with my suspicion of your motive.


Madsplash, do you know who Cyndy is? Or Lora Beard?


Well, I think I do. Fan Asylum, correct? If not, please enlighten me.
