See if you can point out the errors and sketchy info in the article. This one stuck out right away...

In 1998 Steve Perry was fired because he needed time off for hip surgery, and was never asked to rejoin the band despite the fact he is available.

Fucking paragraphs! People need to break stuff up. WTLDR!

Anyway, how did Foreigner rate?

No Mick right now......and nobody else. Tribute band if there ever was one.

And everyone is still getting paid, because 'WE' still buy show tickets.
If there was true outrage, then this tour would flop.

No matter what, this is the current major tour. What other show is competing for 'OUR' dollars?
Like him or not, Azoff is doing well.

Also 2.5 stars, but these reviews are also at least 1.5 years old. I give Foreigner a free pass though... as far as I'm concerned, Foreigner now is Kelly Hansen, Jeff Pilson, etc. I still support them without their original drummer, Jason Bonham.

Rip, please don't take that as if I were arguing against you. I just feel there are other bands to be picked on, other than Journey, which are much worse examples of their former selves. :wink:

No, I didn't take it that way at all. I think the page is funny for what it is. They do have an overall great point -- but their content isn't current enough. And I do agree about Foreigner - a band with 0 original members is an "act", not a band. Mick's just been sick apparently - not sure what it wrong. Foreigner is pretty much a cover band these days, but damn... I love this lineup. :)

Ok, I just checked the main Foreigner site and they list TOM Gimbel:

I thought it was Thom? What happened to that?

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with Mick? I hope it's nothing serious. Could be just exhaustion?
