How many wish the band wouold just quit?

[steveo777]

Friga and Schon are done! Their little American Idol wannabe singer is nice, but please!

It's over, whether anyone here wants to believe that or not.

I guess, these days, being in the top 20 2008 music earners means it's over. You are one of the most deluded loons I have ever seen post here. Thanks for the entertainment, though.

Over, my ass! Journey is doing just fine right now, with or without you. Sorry if you might not be able to handle that. I'd rather just see someone like you admit that you are not a fan of the current lineup, rather than attempt such spins. You simply do not live in the current reality and are reaching but the current reality certainly doesn't match your beliefs.

Did you vote for Ron Paul for president too? He was another one who was completely out of touch with reality.

Augeri lipping bothered me for a long time, but I finally realized that all the good that happened while he fronted the band far outweighed what he did at the end. While they're all certainly responsible, he bears the majority of the blame as the actual perpetrator, but I have long since forgiven all of them. I really don't give a shit about any of that anymore. They were douchebags when they didn't tour because of Perry's never-ending excuses and they were douchebags at a time while they were touring. In the end, the epic get togethers and seeing people I only see annually makes them touring far more important than them not touring.

They all bear the blame equally for the lipping,Friga lipped his vocals on the piece of shit every generations yet he never got called on it,most of there background vocals are pre recorded and played out front like they are live.the only live vocals you here everytime is Arnel and Deen

Now come on!!!!, So i guess next your going to tell me theres no santa clause........bastard!!!

I don't really care if Journey continues on or not. If most of you guys think this is 1981 reincarnated, then I think that's great you think that. I hope the band continues on for those who can't live without them touring. But, for me, my excitement for Journey ended after Jeff's departure. I was grateful for the band continuing on after Perry's second departure. I loved listening to Steve Augeri. And I really had gotten excited when JSS joined the band, because I knew ahead of time just how talented Jeff was and how much he would have brought to this band. I also knew that the band had potential to break off into many new and exciting directions musically. The band nowadays is just "meh" to me. There isn't anything new about the sound. Nothing special. I hear a lot of influences from earlier material, even with the lyrics. Kind of like a paint by numbers sort of thing.

I would be willing to give this band, truly, another chance if they just got off the Perry clone kick and did something completely new. Not just with the vocals, but something new musically as well. Heck, that was a part of the reason why they were so great in the 70's/80's. Not just because of Steve Perry, but because musically, they tried new things and new directions. Whether if people liked it or not, they weren't afraid to recreate themselves with each new album. I can't help to feel that if they are not willing to do that now, that it is only about the money and living in the past. If I want to listen to classic Journey live, it doesn't get much closer for me than going to a much cheaper and more entertaining Frontiers show.


And, I realize that there are some bands and artists out there they are better off with sticking with what works musically. Not every band or artist can completely change their sound and be successful, but I think Journey is one of those talented bands that has that talent and ability. I just don't think they are willing to do so at this stage of the game.

Oh, right, Journey is over. Five shows in Hawaii, Shooting a new DVD. Great reviews on Revelation. Successful tour last year. You don't have to like them or want to see them, but wishing them to be over isn't going make it so. They're energized right now.

I saw them last year. The little guy has a nice voice, but American Idol comes to mind. They are a complete joke. Did you ever see Weekend at Bernie's? Journey is Bernie.

It's OVER

you do realize what you said has nothing to do with being "done", right?

It's never been the same for me since they let SA go.

SA? What about SP? I don't get bothered about Journey hiring/firing Perry impersonators, because they are a dime a dozen. If Arnel left today I wouldn't be disturbed by it at all. I don't mean to offend the SA, JSS, and AP fans, but losing Perry was the biggest blow this band will ever have to deal with.

Dime a dozen? Augeri slugged them tunes out for Journey for eight years,longer than Perry,not saying he was better,but dime a dozen? no fuckin way

You're right Steve. The more I think about it, I have to agree with Luvsaugeri:

Nope.....didn't really bother me when SP left.

What the hell was I thinking?

Likewise, just yesterday I decided that it really didn't bother me when Elvis died. I actually prefer listening his dime-a-dozen Las Vegas impersonators sing Jailhouse Rock and Blue Suede shoes better than I liked hearing Elvis sing them.

not everybody judges by your standards. (vocals)

[FishinMagician]

no, but if neal is out, i'm out

Nah, Arnel already has Neal's replacement lined up. lol

oh no lol

As a fan who found Journey through Augeri in 2002 I'm glad that they didn't hang it up. I do think that after Generations flopped that they should've hung it up though because they hurt their rep when it was found that Augeri was using the backing tapes, the way Augeri sounded before being replaced by JSS, the way they handled the JSS situation, and now with Arnel.

[artist4perry]

Journey should Journey on, and Perry should Perry on...........if that is individually then I have two great shows to see. I don't see a Perry reunion with the band, ever. But if he comes out with new stuff great. If the band comes out with a new tour I will be there. Screaming my head off and having a marvelous time. It's all good!

How about the biggest concert in of the decade (They could call the tour (CRACK THIS STONE). Journey pairs with none other than Steve Perry as Perry opens the show with his own band and plays pretty much his solo stuff, 80 percent of his brand new release. Then, after Perry's gig, Neil and the boys take center stage and you can guess where i go from here. Perry and Journey have already went through their set in practice so Perry and Journey know what their doing as Perry comes onstage for 3, or 4 songs or as lead. Perry could then team with AP and or sing front with AP as Journey is backing vocals for notes or the song itself. Then, AP and Perry could pick 2 songs where they team up together.
