Girl rock.
I remember listening to them back during my elementary school years(early to mid 80s). I think they were one of my first favorite bands.
Anyway, good to hear that an artist is happy with the new way of distributing songs... “online mp3.” At least I think that he is... the results speak for themselves.
Apple figured out how to make it work after Napster.
I’m sure Schon had his doubts when Perry pulled the plug.
Glee sucks. R Lee Ermy should go on that show and kick all their azzes.
I always HATED Journey back in high school. They were the enemy of all that was good in the world. Now I play one of their songs in my band. How could that have happened?
If ever there was a band that gets me to change the channel within the first few notes of any song they play, it’s Journey.
I wouldn’t call Journey soft rock. I think of tepid bands like Bread when I hear that term. Writer should play Wheel in the Sky a few times before making stupid comments.
One of my favorite songs. I saw them in ‘83 in OKC.
Journey? Don’t stop believing? They took one of their songs and integrated w the headline. My, a clever head line.
I’m a rocker since I was 8 years old. Journey and Boston were absolutely two of the lamest bands in rock genre ever. I always cringed when I heard that crap at the roller rink while in junior high school. Ugh!
Any Way You Want It ping! :D

I am a Gleek (hate the writing, love most of the musical numbers). Love the Journey trio from last year’s finale:

And just 10 minutes ago I was reading a breaking news story over there on Steve Perry making the phone call to rejoin the band....he wants to come back.
Now, Schon says Perry walked out on them in 98. Perry said back then he was facing major hip surgery and needed a year or 2 off and his mother died at the same time. The band said no way...and went and got another singer at the time. Perry felt crushed and dismayed by this and said like Dennis DeYoung with Styx...were thrown out of their own band’s for health issues which just needed some time to be resolved.
I like the story of their new singer Arnell. However, I think the smart business move is to bring in Perry...go back to playing stadiums...make a new record that will sell millions with Perry as well. The hype and cash machine will torch what Van Halen did with Roth a few years back because VH didn’t bring back Michael Anthony.
Gotta wonder if Journey will do this or not...and bring back Steve Smith on drums for the Frontiers line up.
Give Arnell a couple of million dollars in appreciation and keep him in the wings in case things don’t work out with Perry.
Steve Perry is a HUGE SF Giants fan. Don’t Stop Believin’ became the Giants rally song during their playoff and WS run.
