"I agree that 'Against The Wall' is a great song. It's too bad that that the album that Steve [Perry] had recorded at that time had to be shelved due to Sony's takeover of CBS Records. I'm just glad that Steve was able to share it with his fans in a 'Greatest Hits' package."

"I just developed pictures from El Paso and not one picture of Deen turned out. I took quite a few, and he was actually goofing around and posing for the camera. Looks like the reflection from the barrier around his drum set caused the distortion.
"Well, my heartbreak is certainly lessened by having the chance to meet him backstage, become speechless by his comments, and by his kind generosity of signing one of his drumsticks for me. Hope others will be able to get some good pictures to share.
"BTW future concert-goers, if you get too caught up in the excitement to really listen to and watch Deen, especially on 'To Be Alive Again', you're really missing something that defies description."

"I walked into Tower Records in NE Phila. the other night and was pleasantly greeted with 'Nothing Comes Close' blaring over the store sound system. They had Arrival playing in shuffle mode, with the album case displayed under the 'now playing' sign. Actually I had gone in to try and get a copy of 'The Journey Continues' that I had seen there the other day, but, of course, it was gone, along with the several Japanese Arrivals they had a few days earlier. Should've pulled the trigger when I had the chance, though I'm sure it will show up again. Additionally, Arrival was displayed in the 'Hot Sellers' section. The Tower Pulse magazine had an ad featuring Arrival as part of their big sale with a picture of the album. Also in the ad were Frontiers, Escape, and Greatest Hits. Me, I treated myself to a cassette of the remastered Infinity for the car, so as not to leave empty-handed. I left to the soothing sounds of 'Kiss Me Softly' over the system... Tower is definitely in Journey's corner."

"For Steve: Okay, I don't know if you get a chance to read this board while on tour, but I hope someone who can relay this message to you does. I just saw the setlist from the San Antonio show & saw that you did 'If He Should Break Your Heart'. I've been dying to hear this song live. So if you could find it in your heart to slip it into one of these shows, 7/4, 7/6, 7/20 or 7/28, I would be forever grateful!!!! Also, if it isn't asking too much, couldya slip 'Kiss Me Softly' into one of those shows too. I'm not asking too much now, am I??? Seriously, can't wait to see you again, no matter what's on the setlist!!!!"

"This morning on the Mark & Brian show (I listen to KLOS-L.A.) Gregg [Rolie] was praised to the high heavens for his new CD. Mark and Brian talked about his Santana roots, Journey, and how he rocks big time. They want to bring him on their show to perform! Wouldn't this be great? Will let you know if I hear more!"

"I'm new and just wanted to drop a line to say hi! I'm 27 and have been a fan since I was 10 (thanks to my older brother who was and is a huge fan). I am a HUGE Neal Schon fan. I truly feel he is the most talented and diverse guitar player out there!"
"I'm kind of bummed I didn't find this site earlier. I actually live in Las Vegas and was at the Junefest concert. Wish I would have known there were so many other faithful fans out there also!"
"Anyway...just wanted to say how happy I am to have found this special place! I'm sure I'll be posting more as time goes by!"

"Hi Ross!
"Nice to know you take time from the road to visit our forums. From the reports I've read you seem doing pretty well with the beginning of this tour. I'm actually trying my best to have some vacation this summer and flying to the west coast to see some Journey shows (Portland, Mountain View, LA, San Bernardino...). And I'm still hoping for that European Tour next Fall. Is there any truth in the current rumors about Journey coming to tour Europe next Fall?"
"Btw I really love the two STORM CDs, even if they were very difficult to find for a frenchman, LOL. Now I'm looking for your other solo stuff!"
"Keep on rockin' Mr. Valory! See you on the road I hope.
"Greetings from France."

"I'm not at all uncomfortable talking about Perry here. What makes me frustrated is (and this happens all too frequently) when a Perry subject is brought up, irrespective of how well it starts, it will almost always degenerate into something that simply brings out the ill-will in folks toward Perry.
"There are a TON of topics I steer clear of on this forum either due to lack of interest on my part or because I simply do not wish to get into something that is going to cause me to become frustrated or angry.
"I believe it was Doni (correct me if I'm wrong) who said that if a subject doesn't interest a person, maybe they should simply stay away from it. Good advice.
"I also think, in fairness to the 'regulars' here who have been around for a while, that their frustration toward Perry has to do with their desire to ensure that Steve Augeri is not on the receiving end of any negative fallout from the Perry-related discussion. There are some Perry fans who have come to this forum and on their very first couple of posts have made extremely outlandish statements which have been slaps in the face to Augeri, so I can understand why the reaction to these posts is swift.
"Overall, I don't mind the occasional Perry-related thread, but I have yet to see one that stays positive. I'd like to talk more about Steve Smith as well, but I'm not sure how to do it without it possibly turning into a 'comparison to Deen' type of discussion, which would not be my intent, but I can see that happening because of the way some might respond."

"Click [here] amd check out this Journey Flash movie. I am not through with it yet, as I will be polishing it up and adding sound to it as well. Some of the Text moves a little too fast, so I need to slow it down. It may take a bit to load but, hopefully you will think that it is worth it."

"I live in Connecticut, and today for the first time I actually heard a D.J. mention Journey...granted it was after they played 'Open Arms' with Steve Perry...but he did mention that Perry is no longer with Journey...he said the new lead singer sounds amazingly like Perry...kind of a backhanded complement...since he never mentioned Augeri's name!
"I have never heard any Arrival tunes played on a Connecticut station! Just the old stuff...don't know what its gonna take!"

"Do you find yourself mezmorized by the band??? I often find myself just looking at or starring at what they are doing and sometimes don't even sing that much.
"I remember watching SA on the Vacation's Over tour. I had so much anxiety over the fact that this guy was going to replace Perry, then he banged out the first line of SW's and it was gone. I stood starstruck the rest of the night going Wooooooooow!!!!! This guy is awesome....
"I knew he was great with TS's, but I did have my reservation's about him doing Journey."

"Maybe this has been brought up before. If so, sorry. I missed it.
"At the very end of 'Nothin' Comes Close', there is a very obscure comment from one of the band members. I have listened to Arrival many times in the car, but never picked up on this until I finally listened to it on headphones this weekend. It's hard to pick up at regular volumes because there is a loud guitar chord and a noticeable 'Yeah, baby' comment. But, here is what I am hearing at the very end of the song after the music ends:
" 'those red leather pants...[guitar chord]...make me crazy...yeah, baby...
"It seems like the fans aren't the only ones interested in Steve's attire. Has anybody else heard this?
"If this has been rehashed already, just slap me and I'll go back in my hole."

"After what seems like an eternity, I will finally get to see my favorite band live!! I tried to go to the show 2 yrs ago, but the show sold out before i could get my tix. Needless to say i was heartbroken. Then the news came that journey was going on tour and coming back to Houston...I got my tix the day they went on sale this time!! Then came the great flood!!!! I was ready to get myself a boat in order to make it to the woodlands, then heartbreak...the show is cancelled. My guys came through though, they added us on to the end of the tour and are donating proceeds from the August 22 show to flood victims. Journey is definitely a class act!! This for me is 16 yrs in the making and I just hope I can hold out til August!!! You guys are the best!!! I love y'all!!! 'Til august, take care and God bless!!!!!!
P.S. The new album is great!! 'Lifetime of Dreams' is absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!"
