Journey, the band, just won't go away

[compuwiz1]

Their songs are in:

Bedtime Stories
American Idol 2009
AT&T commercial
Sopranos finale
Jim Carey latest movie

Jeezus, for getting snubbed by Rock n Roll hall of fame, Rolling Stone and others, it seems like they are sure still embraced. Teachers say the kids are even singing their damn songs these days.

One of the 5 recent sold out shows in Hawaii sounds like the crowd was sure bored. 😉

How can this be?

Living in a lonely world!

Another very recent gem

Very nice rendition of one of their newest songs played in Manila.


Arnel and Charice kicking ass!

separate ways

 

[spaceman]

dude journey is an iconic rock band who has some unforgettable songs they need to recongize

 

[CallMeJoe]

Not everyone loves Journey; while their instrumentalists are undeniably very talented, IMHO Steve Perry has one of the most annoying voices in popular music.

You've obviously stopped believing

 

[Flipped Gazelle]

Journey = UGH. They should have remained a fusion band.

 

[racolvin]

They won't go away until every child born before 1990 is dead and buried ... and even then some of those people will have indoctrinated their children with a love for 80's bands 🙂

So his voice is no longer on any of those crappy old Journey songs the OP referenced?

Uh, not since Trial By Fire, so more like 13 years and he also was on about a 10 year hiatus after Raised on Radio. Trial by Fire was a reunion album following a long abscence and there was supposed to be a tour in support of it but it never happened due to SP needing hip surgery. Steve Augeri, who replaced SP, was actually in the band longer than SP. Was Steve Perry Journey? Nope. Was Steve Perry responsible for a lot of Journey's commercial success? Yep.

I'm glad Arnel Pineda doesn't sound like Steve Perry lately. While he can channel him, it seems lately the band puts more emphasis on his own unique voice.

Journey just played 3 sold out gigs in Japan this year and got rave reviews.
Problem is, I couldn't find much that wasn't written in Japanese.

He's lost the voice, which explains whey he hasn't done anything lately. If he were to come back to Journey it would be a trainwreck. The show must go on, hence new singers.

 

[clamum]

Fuck Journey. I always tease my friend about her fondness of them.

 

[mugs]

I think the Sopranos finale helped with their recent popularity - didn't that song shoot up to the number 1 song on iTunes after that? And I think it's been selling well since then.

Journey is great, they have a lot of great songs.
