Journey's new front man Arnel Pineda

[Dean iWait 0]

Sounds like they just got someone who can imitate Steve Perry. That's the only reason they'll be getting some concert dates and people paying big money to see them. The other bands of my youth, lost their lead singers, sound crappy, and play venues like Casino's now. Kind of annoys me though that they picked up this guy, on his ability to "imitate". Wonder what he sounds like for "real"?

People are paying big bucks to see them? I guess if $26 each is big bucks you're correct since that's what the general admission tickets cost us here in Denver. If you really want to hear what he sounds like for "real" whatever that means why don't pick up their new CD set which also includes a DVD of them live in concert. He's a "real" guy with a "real" great voice.

hell I Liked Journey Before Steve Perry was even with the band.....

OOOPS did I just show my age

eh, Steve Perry MADE Journey who they were, for me.

same here....also,

oh sherry

And all of your points are... Well, think of it this way, their light would still be a distant memory of great classics. However, with their new lead (who is very talented by the way), Journey has a chance to expand their legend and create new ones. Although I do not know the complete story, I suggest writing complaint letters to Mr. Perry who will not even speak to his ex-band members except through his lawyers, which is how the search and discover of their new front man came to pass.

You both seem like haters to me, but I could be misreading your points of view.

Yes, it seems to me that you are reading way too much into a comment. The poster before me said they like Journey even before Steven Perry and I said Steven Perry made what I'll always remember to be Journey. For some people it doesn't matter who sings the songs or plays the instruments, as long as the songs sound good, but when the songs are the backdrop to a certain time in your life, those artists are what made the music important and special to you at that time and will always be what you remember....someone else just isn't the same. Kinda like David Lee Roth will always be Van Halen to me, and Slash will always be Guns n Roses. I don't want to see the "new and improved" bands, ya know?

YOU are the one who seems to be blowing it out of proportion, suggesting we write complaint letters and saying we are haters. I'm perfectly happy with the memories I have of Journey, years ago, and the music they did at that time and am not bitter or upset about Steven and the band going their separate ways. These things happen in the music industry all the time. If they want to continue their career with this chap, or Santa Claus, good for them...I wish them all the luck, success, and fame a new crop of people can bring them.

I was even waiting and bought their new CD on the exact day it was release on June 3 (plug he he)

The CD btw is awesome. Three disc in there for only $11 at Walmart.

The first CD is compose of 11 brand new songs.

The second is a re-recorded versions (with Arnel) of Journey's greatest hits.

The 3rd is a DVD of their concert in Las Vegas!!

Awesome bargain for any Journey fans. Go buy it!!

just a little friendly NorCal to SoCal ribbing. I don't think I'll need to buy it. have an idea of what my Father's Day present is going to be.
