So they should have changed their name after the first 3 albums? You know, since Steve Perry wasn't on them? For Raised on Radio, the core then was Schon, Perry, and Cain. And though Schon was the only original member then, I still thought of them as Journey. For me, it’s not such a cut and dried thing in which if a member changes then the band name should change too. Depends on what the members do in their stint and how long they were there etc

pop genesis is the best genesis. but i'm a phil era guy though, lo Mick

What should Rush have changed to? Rush could have changed to slow down, lol Dad joke. lol Mick

File under: a band who should have retired 35 years ago. Who in their right mind would go support them after this? Shit like this makes you appreciate the way Rush went about their career even more. https://www.loudersound.com/news/journey-sack-steve-smith-and-ross-valory

I remember making them...sledding down a hill on one of these? This is one my next door neighbor got when he was a kid in Germany when his dad was stationed there while in the army.

I am stoked for this tour. US dates seem to be on the horizon. What's your favorite performance? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smVqy5Zalrc

♪♪♪ Happy Birthday Treeduck ! Can you whistle? haha

Oh, what rotten luck ... oh well ... whole afternoon to kill ... better have a bath I suppose. We, at TRF, have taken a film which contains compromising scenes and unpleasant details, which could wreck Citizen's career. But Citizen may phone me at any point and stop the thread. But remember, the money increases as the film goes on. So now, with the clock at $2112, this week "Stop the Thread" visited Burnaby, BC. ... blackhawkrush, why do all your characters have these very big er ... very big um ... Chicago might be a very good city for those with larger gardens, or perhaps even an orchard that's been left for two years. later on we'll be meeting a man who does gardening. But first on the thread we've got a man who speaks entirely in anagrams I think we'll have to keep him, he's going down well. :geddy: This is an old Lenin number.

Land Of Confusion is my favorite music video by anyone ever. Collins era song - Mama Gabriel era - Watcher Of The Skies

I always go back to this one for nostalgia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH4DRdfW8ww I'm trying to figure out the commentary here. Are you comparing Styx to the coronavirus? Maybe, but maybe not. It's just his style of posting!

I don't know who's at fault here but sometimes it seems like Schon might be a bigger c-word than Eddie Van Halen.

The latest news is Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain agreed to fire each other in a dual act of vandalism, as described by Arnel Pineda. "They're trying to ruin my gig, they want to send me back to youtube!" At the last minute however Neal Schon reinstated himself and fired Pineda as well. Then he fired himself!

There's a great live video on youtube from that era. Which song is it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQfCh8yu670

Someone gets a big surprise in this video and it's not Roger Daltrey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=161&v=3L2Rlvaer-8&feature=emb_title

I like A Trick of the Tail; I still have to hear Wind and Wuthering. After that, though, I give up. Genesis to me is with Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett included, thank you very much. Wind and Wuthering is my favorite Genesis album. And I love the Gabriel years.

I have to talk at least a little shit. I forgot you were all a bunch of sussudio-heads. at least duke and abacab are good

if you added one or two odd time signatures to a wham album, you'd have invisible touch

pop genesis is the best genesis. but i'm a phil era guy though, lo Mick Collins era is brilliant.

Oh, and No Time To Die has been pushed to November by virus.corona virus. This news leaves me shaken not stirred. Always seemed odd it was going to be in April. Every Bond since Goldeneye has been released in November or December.

siamese dream is basically the alternative version of the first boston LP. think about it. the vibe, the layered production, chamberlain's arena rock drums, the huge guitar sound

Totally! For goodness sakes a ton of modern rappers do more singing than rapping! Now I understand there’s a certain rap cadence to the singing, but I think it’s a good example of how the words we use to describe music have really started fraying at the seems. Is Hotline Bling a rap song? Is Imagine Dragons a rock band? Is Dream Theater really progressive? It’s all gotten very confusing.

I was going to post this same video.

He's such a cute rock fan!

The rest of Journey should join the rest of The Eagles and form a new group called Old Whiney Bitches. I'll file this story in my DGAF shredder.

Which song is it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQfCh8yu670 So that's the whole gig? :codger: Narrowing it down - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIa3r12oCo8 What's your favourite from Invisible Touch? Domino for certain. Mine right now is Throwing It All Away.

They're going to get all members of Genesis from all eras to team up, almost like two or three versions of Genesis in one band with new music coming from all versions so they can create a new album to be titled CALLING ALL ONIONS.

Probably something from the poptastic era, like maybe from Invisible Touch album. I know hardcore Genesis whores will be outraged but hey it is what it is.

They could play We Can’t Dance straight through and I’d still go see them. Hoping they announce US dates too.

Uh, I disagree. The Foos and the Pumpkins basically define alt rock. Foo Fighters are highly successful but don't do anything new. They don't define anything except soccer mom rock n roll magic. I should add a word, they define mainstream alt rock. I wouldn't describe their sound as alternative at all. They are fully fledged mainstream rock. About as alternative as Mr. Roboto era Styx. Then we have different ideas of using alternative as a genre label. I find the Foos have way more in common with Nirvana and Green day than Aerosmith and AC/DC. Before it became cool to call the in thing "alternative" back in the early to mid 90s, the label was meant to describe those artists who didn't break into the mainstream. These bands would have their own unique sound and sometimes get a decent following because of it but they didn't have that mass appeal to them. At some point the definition changed and any rock that didn't sound like traditional rock was called alternative rock even if it was popular. I still subscribe to the original meaning of the label myself. Foo Fighters are a straight up mainstream hard rock band. They have never done anything else but try to write rock songs that appeal to the masses. They've done a damn good job of that too. An alternative rock band would just write whatever the hell they want and not care if everyone likes it or not. But like so many music labels today, the meaning has really gotten muddied up over the years. There was a really good article written in the mid-'90s titled "Alternative to What?" criticizing how the "Alternative" label now applied to everything that remotely sounded like Nirvana, yet didn't represent anything that was remotely alternative to mainstream, commercial music. I was in violent agreement I recall. Hearing Counting Crows called alternative used to make me wretch. I couldn't find that article but this one looks at the same phenomenon, more or less, with less condescension maybe: https://diffuser.fm/...ive-mainstream/ An excerpt: What followed was a little confusing for some of us. Suddenly, the most prominent music in popular culture was being called "alternative," a moniker that made no sense to those of us who escaped the treachery of the mall record stores. On the list of all-time best selling albums in the U.S., Nevermind rests between records from N'Sync and the Dixie Chicks. It's hard to be an alternative to the mainstream when you are the mainstream, the thinking went. There was no crime worse to the non-mall crowd than selling out, whatever that means. It's something that Cobain struggled with himself.

Schon seems to be losing it. Big time. His lawyer's statement reads like someone very paranoid is behind it. I agree with you, but it seems like a bizarre charge nonetheless. Steve Smith just came back to the band after a 20 year absence! And then he tries to take over the publishing? I doubt that. Seems that Schon is trying to stonewall them from having any claims to royalties.

The 2 asshole here are Schon and Cain. they've been a dumpster fire for years. they aactually hate EACH OTHER, lol Mick

Maybe Smith and Valory are assholes? No, they are actually the nicer guys. The other 2 are the assholes. Still, as much as they have toured in the last 20 years without Steve Perry you think that they would have squirreled away enough for retirement.

Maybe Perry, Valory, and Smith should make their own outfit and use a totally brand new name. Or just Perry’s name or a combo of the three.

Hiya! :7up:

I've been reading the book "Rush and Philosophy" and can recommend it. It has deepened my appreciation of both Rush and Neil, both the music and lyrics. I didn't really realize how much they've influenced me over the past four decades until I read this book.

In one of those odd "full circle" twists of fate, the vet who came to release him from his pain was the vet who first saw him as a young guy, she did all of his well-doggy checkups and shots until we moved from the area. She remembered him too!
