Haha good deal.  I read that earlier this morning, and I did a triple take on that line. 

Chad? Brad?? What's the difference, they both serve up a mighty fine meatball.

I'm kind of proud that my Journey thread got 4 pages. I was expecting a rash of "NO!"'s with the exception of the few and then death. But nope, here we all are having a fine discussion on the band. See, Journey brings out the best in everybody.

I like to listen to Journey every now and again. Good music for long drives.

You like Journey for the journey, eh?

DUUUUDE!

 

 

It's sleveless as well. All you'd need now would be the flat mullet and you'd be all set for Halloween.

Nothing wrong with Journey had some good hits.

A woman I knew actually married Steve Smith, Journey's drummer when it mattered. I actually went backstage at a concert years ago with the band and Steve previewed the Frontiers album at our home before it was released. Kind of crazy but true. Before the insults start, I played guitar in a heavy metal band in high school and I was very briefly in a band with James Iha who went to the same high school as I did. I'm not normally one for name-dropping but what the hell...

 

And, yes, Cain, Shon and other bandmates are very worthy of acclaim. They are fabulous musicians, whether you like their music or not. Shon played at Woodstock with Santana when he was 16 years old.

Their music videos are hideous.

I own the box set. It has three CDs all the way back to before Perry joined.

 

I sing along because it keeps my voice in shape, ever since I left my voice classes in college.

Yes, I can sing as high as he can.

 

Gee sorry knight, all this time I thought you were a man

 

I actually have respect for any group that can sell that many albums. IMHO, it is easier to "find your own sound" and "stay true to what you believe" etc. than go record a song that 25,000,000 people will sing on their way to work.

i've been listening to journey and chicago when i study for over 4 years of college now. i'm a huge fan! call me crazy, but it works for me.

I listen to it daily, it brings me good memories of AJ, Paulie and joe

Horace....Hit it!!!!

 

"Oh God, I love this song, and I love it when amateurs sing the lyrics. But I hate baseball cards!"

did you see the espn page 2, lots of journey references

I've been listening to Dont' stop believing pretty constantly. . .

 

Other than that I really dont' know any Journey songs (maybe Open Arms, but that's more because Mariah Carey covered it when I was in junior high. . .).

They showed Steve in attendance last night! Nice to see he did make the trip with the team. He's good luck I tell ya! Get HIM ON THE BENCH FOR TONIGHT!!!

I have been listening to journey also and yeah the SOX brought Steve Perry again. They said he is a Sox fan per the Sox player's request hahaha

I have my Queen "Greatest Hits" cd on right now to prime myself for singing "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS" several hundred times in the next week with groups of strangers. The song brings a tear of joy to my eye that it is FINALLY going to happen.

Her version sucks, IMO.

HUGE Queen fan here. Grew up on them, they were my first "obsession" in the music world, used to do "air guitar" (with a real guitar though) and think I was Brian May all the time.

 

But honestly, I detest that f***ing song. It bugs me that is the song everybody plays by them. Terrible friggin' song. There, after all these 30 years, I can finally admit that. Phew...I feel better now.

I can't believe he was at the game last night. That was so awesome

How cool would it be if Journey preformed it at Grant Park?

 

if that happend i wouldnt be surprised since they were at all the the world series games so far. but that would be just awsome. especially as a surprise visit without even knowing.

Interesting tidbit: there is not one piece of true percussion in that song. What you hear is just random stomping and clapping made by the members of the group--I believe in a warehouse or something like that.

 

EDIT: Also, agreed. Give me "Killer Queen" "A Kind of Magic" "I Want to Break Free", or even something like "I Want It All." Sorry, though, love Rhapsody.

I would be extraordinarily suprised, because Steve Perry hasn't performed with Journey in well over ten years and by all indications, they do not want him back.

technically speaking, the piano is a percussion instrument.
