Actually I did this one almost a year ago after a few of us were going through the annual "wouldn't it be nic e if Styx and Night Ranger Toured" discussion that parleyed into a John Waite should tour with them and maybe Ricky could participate in a Bad English/Babys thing. On top of that was the Journey/Styx/REO tour and the annual Damn Yankees talk, it all of a sudden dawned on me how intertwined these bands are.

If it ever did happen, it would be simply awesome. And I do believe it would rake in tons of money for everyone. It would be cool.

You should see the actual 'Press Release' that we created. For those that want to believe, It would make you believe.

Once simple fact would make me not believe it...

When Journey toured with John Waite, they would not even talk about performing Bad English songs. In the big picture, it's really kinda silly to suggest that they would do so in some type of all day show....If John, Jon and Neal can't do one five minute song together, they are not going to do an entire set during an all day show.
