Without Perry, Journey is now the Worlds highest paid tribute band. I mean, unless they write some actual hits w/ the new guy, they are just a shadow of their former self.
+1 - I've been a fan of Journey for a long time, but I just can't support the new guy (Arnel Pineda). I'd much rather hear Deen Castronovo sing - that guy is bad-ass on drums and vocals.
I saw them 4 years ago when Steve Augeri was fronting the band. He missed several shows because of an illness and the guy they had filling in (black guy - didn't catch his name...) just killed it. They should have given him the full-time gig. I'd still love to see Steve Perry back in the band where he belongs. YMMV
