You have got to be kidding. Creative? Playing the SAME set list for the 27th year in a row is creative? Come on Dan, they can add these little solos on in their sleep. Being creative is not adding a solo onto a song. Being creative is writing and playing a new song, something that is not dated like this latest cd is, and being creative is playing a different set every night. I won't rain on your parade, because I hate folks who just bitch, but giving Journey the "creative label" is akin to giving Rosie Odonell the "supermodel" title.
Don't kid yourselves...they read this site and they've listened to a lot of the ideas propsed here.
Well, not really. Neal reads here, or used to. Friga doesn't, Ross doesn't and Deen never reads the net. And if they are creative like you say, why the fuck are they reading MR for ideas?
I love you dude, but you need to be called on some of this retarded shit you just said.
Journey may go down with one distinction in music history. Playing it safe more than any other act. I have never seen such a group of men afraid to do something different. Who the Hell wants to play the same shit every night? Unless you're the Beach boys or a tribute band, where is the creative juice? Where is the fire? Real musicians want to be challenged, want to feel something. Playing Lights every night of your career is hardly challenging you. One thing I can say about Schon is he does want something different, but the Queen to his right won't allow it. A shame really, but I don't give a shit about these clowns.
One thing you are right on the money with is your sig.
Snakeryder is without a doubt, the worst fucking band ever.
