5 Band-Wreckers and the Happy Bands They Destroyed
https://music.yahoo.com/photos/5-band-w ... slideshow/

Band-wreckers are the worst kind of singers. They are those dudes who take advantage of an unstable group relationship and insert themselves in the middle. They break into a band and destroy their happy home. And who suffers? The children do. The children always suffer. All of those fans whose childhood memories of beloved bands are forever dashed by seeing step-singers replace their favorite vocalists.

In fairness, we have to blame the band too. It takes two to make a thing go right — or wrong. These bands know better, and so should their second-rate frontman replacements. So, here are the worst band-wreckers ever. They all have a special place in rock hell reserved for them. A place where hack tribute groups play all day and Barry Manilow plays all night. —Shawn Amos


Journey with About Every Other Singer in the World
This band has gone through three different lead singers, all trying to replace the signature man-chick wail of original vocalist Steve Perry. Each one had been a bigger embarrassment than the last. In the immortal words of Pete Townshend, "It's the singer, not the song, that makes the music move along."

Well, it appears the Yahoo Assignment Editor's task did the trick, as he prolly ordered some coffee-running intern to quickly type something, anything, that would generate clicks and eyeballs. And look at us - here we are dissecting and talking about this worthless piece of shit snarky article. I think the new incarnations of The Doors and maybe INXS are fair game to be mocked. Journey and Van Hagar and Queen + Paul Rodgers are IMO not. I also love that this writer somehow thinks that Adam Lambert is a better heir to the rock throne of Freddie than Paul is. Garbage commentary from a musically illiterate asshole.

More "garbage commentary" along with the usual name calling from TNC.

Journey is the ONLY one to be mocked. ALL those other bands mentioned have true artist, even JD Fortune, a true artist. Not one of those artists went online to get a bonafide karaoke.

As I have repeatedly said, if you spend your life learning how to insultingly ape every artist on the planet, you BETTER have some mean creative skills up your sleeves. I am still looking for writing credits for karaoke on "City of Hope," the song supposedly about his life and country. The song they thought would be their "DSB," not the two songs they stuck his name on in efforts to try to give him cred, songs that will "never in a million years" be played in concert.

VanHagar kept rolling with NEW music with Hagar creating his own legacy with the bank (typo but it fits)/band. Adam Lambert is an unbelievable talent sounding NOTHING like Freddie, but great, and even that guy from "Fun/Nate" was good singing Queen's songs at iHeart. And, of course, Paul Rodgers is great any way you take him. Guess it's too bad he turned down Journey's offer to join them.

Not (typo but it fits)/Now tell me something about their "fake singer" other than his being probably one of the best karaoke copycats there is. At least Augeri and Jeff are true artists. If Glee had not done DSB, karaoke Journey would have been gone by now, not steadily sliding downhill.

Be sure to check out the "Top 10 Post Steve Perry Journey Songs" at UCR and perhaps enlighten some of the posters: "Were they released in the US? "Never heard any of them."

In case you haven't noticed, in this very thread, the webmaster and CEO of MR.com called the writer a "ignorant asshat" and many other posters said far worse. The Yahoo comments section is also overflowing with people in disagreement with the author. So love Journey, hate Journey. Either way, this article is just poor right down to the basics, like getting your facts straight. Kinda like your illiterate ramblings, it borders on unintelligible.

Define "true artist." If not for American Idol, what kind of artist exactly, would Adam Lambert be?

I have no doubt that Arnel had some hand in the Eclipse songs he is listed under (SAM, TWIMC). Clearly the Cain/Schon partnership doesn't take kindly to outsiders. As Perry said about JSS writing with the band "..that might have required that they let him in emotionally a little more?...but I think that might have been a challenge." So I fail to see why you take this out on Arnel?

Yeah, but I'm sure all of them have the Quest for Camelot soundtrack loaded on their Ipod, right? Go take a walk, you goofy bastard.

Back in the early 1970's Neal Schon asked Paul Rodgers to join Journey as it was being formed. At the same time, Paul Rodgers asked Neal Schon to join the band that he was putting together, which was Bad Company.

In 1993 Paul Rodgers released his "Muddy Water Blues" CD which had many different famous guitarists on it, one of them being Neal Schon.
They (Rodgers and Schon) then toured together for the album, along with Deen Castronovo and Todd Jensen of Hardline.
Neal has done some other work with Rodgers since then as well.

I have no knowledge of Rodgers having been asked to join Journey other than that one time back in the early 1970's.

Deep Purple did ask Paul Rodgers to join their band back in the early 1990's, but Rodgers declined.

Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, but the "facts" are "straight" when it comes to Journey. It's the band that went online to get a bonafide karaoke that seems very limited [0] with creative skills. Too bad you're not as good at this as I. Guess that's why you have to resort to name calling. "If you can't lick 'em [name call} 'em."

Probably an artists that has not spent his/her life insultinging aping every artists on the planet, and one having something credible to his name, like Adam Lambert's solo albums and his ability on AI, likewise with Queen, to take any song and make it great, his way. I LOVED that Johnny Cash song he did. Not some artist that shows up at show time to be wound up to take the stage to soundalike the "GHs" of the band in - "glorified karaoke show." (Australia 2013). And, probably an artists that was not mentioned in Freddie Aguilar's 2008 article as being, along with Charice, the perfect examples as to why Filipino artists are viewed badly.

Like I said they stuck his name on two songs, NEVER to be played.....ANYWHERE.... If you spend your life learning how steal the sound and hardwork of about every artist on the planet, there are no excuses for your inability to create something of your own. They should be "let[ting] him in" ... after all they said he "replaced" Steve Perry.

Be sure to find and read that Billboard 2011 article, for the writer seemed to have thought he would be writing a bit more too on the album.

"Oh Sherrie" and "Foolish Heart" are still being heard today. By the way Sausandra from the Voice "I Love Steve Perry" seemed to enjoy singing "Oh Sherrie" Monday and she has moved on to the next round.

Now you "take [that] walk" and I DO NOT have to resort to your typical name calling....... But keep it up if it makes you feel better....... :lol:

In 2012, following another great year:
http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/ ... rs-of-2011

They aren't 81-83 Journey in popularity or 78-83 Journey in overall quality - but they are so much more than what your bitter ass can handle to admit. And before your little brain asks for 2013 numbers let me proactively remind you again that their touring was sporadic last year...hitting Europe and make up dates, etc. And I already said 2012 was disappointing.

2013 - 29 shows and 13.3 million an average of $450,000 a show. BIG MONEY for them to place them at #73, but don't think there will be much talk about the coverband making chicken feed dollars. That's probably why 2014 brings co-headlining with a big band since they always "tour with big bands and 2014 is no exception." (UCR 2014)

"Questions? Comments? Let us know: @billboard"

Question: Why does Journey have to hog the road in three packcage deals?
Comment: Nevermind, for they are not the real thing like the Eagles are.
Comment: Even Glee did better with almost half the shows and no three-package deal.
Comment: Most of the bands beneath Journey made comparable monies or more considering the number of shows played.
Question: Is this the year Eclipse flopped terribly?
Question: Is there some purpose to Eric's posting of this?
Comment: Kor'n does not post links anyone, just tell them where to find it (like I did) if they want to read it.

Thank you!

There has been a rumor for ages that Paul Rodgers was asked by Schon to join the band that eventually became Journey. (I think this was prior to the whole Golden Gate Rhythm section thing and post Free for Rodgers.) Rodgers has been rumored to have been offered to join many bands over the years - Deep Purple, Rossington Collins Band, Led Zeppelin reunion in place of Plant (which became The Firm).

Never heard anything about Rodgers being asked to join Journey in the Perry era or there after. If anything, I think there was more of a chance of Schon becoming the new Bad Co guitarist shortly after the "Muddy Waters" era.

No links for any of this. Just stuff I recall reading many years ago.

I've read articles where Schon has said that he asked Rodgers to join Journey back when Journey was being formed, and that Rodgers asked Schon to join Bad Company as it was being formed.
But, that was at the very earliest stage of Journey's formation in 1973.

I am quite certain that Rodgers was NOT asked to join Journey after 1973.

I can appreciate K’s debating tenacity …coming up with counter-arguments and figures to back his/her viewpoints...witty, too. I think Deano would enjoy all the back&forth. Yes, sometimes it’s hard to follow what he/she is saying…some statements drag on too long….I just skim through it all. I don’t hold the uneven grammar and syntax errors against K, though ..individuals have their own communication style… typing and putting down one’s thoughts on the fly… that’s to be expected. MichiganGirl wrote like that, too, and she was a very popular poster. Only difference is MG's posts were much shorter in length.

What is becoming annoying is K’s continuous putdown of AP …borderline personal and over the top. Can’t fault the guy for making a living. He’s doing the best he can and doesn’t deserve all the ridiculing. Critique or personal attacks…big difference.

As a friend of Deano (like many on here), I think it's fair to say that K is getting off easy. Deano would enjoy creatively telling "it" to fuck off, get aids, and die. Not necessarily in that order.

I can appreciate your response, and you are entitled to your views as I am.

Can "fault" a guy who spends his life copying the hardwork of others. He is hardly representative of the song DSB. Steve Perry probably could care less, but I found it most despicable that one could/would work hard creating something then there comes a mimic that spends an entire disc mocking you. In fact, I read AP saying something to the effect. AP appears so cocky (He & Schon fit perfectly though - LOVE media attn), just take a look at some of the pics he has taken with them on tour ... would not do for him to have a hit song. Don't think he is all together upstairs.

Could not imagine Adam Lambert with some of the cocky poses that AP lays down. But, Lambert is a true artist perhaps realizing that you are NOT doing very much if you have to sing others' songs especially as Pineda does - soundalike. It's not critique and not personal, just no respect for him or any bonafide karaoke copycat (only one I know) outside of realms of SNL. It's pass "becoming annoying." Just not what a real/true artists does...must prove self to be so. Perhaps that's why "poetic justice" comes around and delivers and "Eclipse."

Think AP asking (2009) to do SP's entry song (Patiently) and in a sense his exit song (WCTNGOF) pretty much "sealed the deal" of his disrespect. "Talk is cheap." Gowan in Styx did one of his songs, and it was awesome and the audience loved it.

Don't think MG and I write alike.

TRULY no disrespect, but be sure to point out my "uneven grammar and syntax errors" so I may correct it or correct you. I am VERY good with both, so maybe it's by design, a typo or you may be off a bit..... Don't make random statements - point it out. Thanks!

As a poster, hitting the board and having a message jump at me and it being from Deano saying something like " f....." (stunned me) then he said just kidding and something to the effect that he agreed with me and not to let them chase you away, had my back.... In other words, our language was VERY VERY different, but seemingly we thought somewhat alike, so I know for an ABSOLUTE fact you can strap those words..... Annie is RIGHT!
