Made it OK to like Journey! We all have our own histories with the band. I went from enthusiastically buying Infinity after seeing them on The Midnight Special to loathing them because everyone in high school who didn't give a shit about music was a Journey fan. (I came around somewhat in the early 90s ... like Eddie Money, they knew what they were doing.)<br /><br />That said, I thought that was a fantastic film clip. Steve Perry made it clear he was there because he was a huge Eels fan, which is very cool to here. So am I -- the new album is very good.<br /><br />When can we expect the Lou Gramm/Arcade Fire duet?William Repsherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690181505790748431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-29813597003854899672014-05-27T13:39:41.038-07:002014-05-27T13:39:41.038-07:00@Kevin M.

In game two the TV cameras capture you leading the fans in the song. Steve Perry finds out that he is still remembered.<br /><br />Two years later, in Minni/St. Paul, he has Eeels fans singing na-na-na-nan-na.<br /><br />I see that there are a few un-Journey and un-Toto fans in the group and that's Ok. Like Miles Davis said, "Good music is good no matter what kind of music it is."

Question is, should Perry rejoin Journey? Probably not. Maybe because the Filipino guy they have presently sounds way far better than Perry does now. But then again, who knows. Although, Journey during the Perry reign had some good tunes though.FD13NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964671671960423199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-72019207360210618722014-05-27T05:01:55.666-07:002014-05-27T05:01:55.666-07:00Yeah, I wasn't really posting because I loved ...Yeah, I wasn't really posting because I loved it or hated it.

I didn't get all the way through the clip because frankly, I never was a fan, Journey being the most hated group next to Toto I can think of, and his pipes are a bit rusty. Some painful notes in there.buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.com
