New Journey album Revelation - Page 2

I think they should have stuck with JSS too. they need to get over the "gotta get a guy who sounds like Steve Perry" thing. No one sounds like Steve Perry and imitators tend to lose their voices touring with Journey. Augeri was a casualty and JSS almost ended up one. I've got a bootleg of a JSS with Journey performance, and while it's awesome in parts, there are others where his performance is painful. It sounded to me like he was losing his voice. Herbie Herbert in a recent interview was also of the opinion that JSS, while one of the greatest singers of our time, can't sing Journey songs night in and night out and keep his voice in one piece.

IMO, they should have done something really bold and gotten a female, like Floor Jansen. She'd be able to hit the notes and Journey might even have a chance at commercial success again because female-fronted bands are in.

Got the 3 disc special edition today at Wal-Mart for $11.00. The LIVE dvd w/Arnell KILLS, it's easily worth the $11 itself. The new album w/arnell is pretty good with the ballads actually being the best songs. Some of the faster songs you would'nt know was JOURNEY by the vocals alone as he doesn't really sound like Perry much on them, but he does on the "old" songs and sounds great live. Well worth the money!

P.S I too wanted them to make an album with Soto.

In case some here don't know, Schon and Soto did make an album called Soul Sirkus. I think Castronovo was on it too.

It's nothing at all like Journey though.

Wasn't my thing, but there's no doubting the talent involved in the project.

Nope, Soul Sirkus has Virgil Donati on drums, and I believe it was the bassist from Whitesnake(his name just skips my mind right now). A lot of the drum fills on Soul Sirkus only Donati can do. I like the Soul Sirkus cd better than Journey, but I never really heard Journey until I heard that cd, and that is when I started listening to Journey. The reason I checked out Soul Sirkus was because I am a huge Virgil Donati fanboy.

after Jeff Scott Soto, Journey should have broken up. The members should have formed a new band with Jorn Lande on vocals.

They could have called themselves "Jorney"

man, I think up some dumb shit when it's early

...and then, when they tour Mexico, thousands of fans can scream, "HORNEY!"

The original Soul Sirkus release (Black Cover) has Deen Castonovo on drums and then they re-released it with (Green & Yellow Covers) with Virgil Donati. I saw them live with Virgil and he was amazing, did an unbelievable drum solo.

But, Journey really should have called it a day. Their heyday a long, long time ago. They are not getting it back anytime soon.

Maybe if they went on American Idol as a guest and brought Randy back on the bass?
