Ellen said today that Journey is on in May

[Maui Tom]

Yeah, all the young hotties who used to go to Journey shows are now housewives who watch Ellen.

Yes, and they will HATE this incarnation, because they haven't followed Journey since SP left the band, and will now see them for what they are.

JMO, of course.

Sure they will. I witnessed it first hand. 7500 screaming people just hating Journey in Las Vegas. Watch the DVD, you'll see it too.

Never been to a louder hatefest Rick...you?

[Rick]

Never been to a louder hatefest Rick...you?

Deafening. They just hated singing along to that awful music.

But THEY are not the housewives that Niggy was referring to. Get a grip, Rick. You know it's true.

[Ratgirl]

What difference does it make if it's Ellen or some other talk show? They're getting EXPOSURE, which is what they need.

Exactly! I'll have to DVR it.

[Saint John]

For every out of date, fat, old housewife they lose, they'll gain twice that with Arnel, new music, and the desire to work. The new album has the old "formula" (Escape and Frontiers rocker to ballad ratio) before Perry turned Journey into a nose diving snooze fest.

And then send me a copy right?

I don't necessarily consider myself to be included in the above criteria, so there are more than that who have lost interest. The "old formula" includes Steve Perry, who can be imitated but never truly duplicated. I'll take that nose diving snoozefest any day over a bunch of over-the-hill rockers trying desperately to relive the fame and fortune brought to them by the introduction of Steve Perry into the band.

I love my 70s-90s Journey. 2008...not so much.

Wasn't including you in the prior statement. I think Journey is just trying to compensate for the 12 years that Steve Perry robbed from them (1986-1998) when he knew he was never gonna tour again, but decided not to tell anyone. I find his "You know there is no going back?" comment to Cain barf inducing. No going back to what?!?! Not touring? Not supporting albums you just recorded? 10 year layoffs? I bet the guys really miss that.

[BobbyinTN]

Ellen was just rated number one daytime talk show host. Even over Oprah.

[Greg]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought Journey had some TV exposure (with Steve Augeri) on something like Regis and Kathy Lee (or Kelly) or some morning talk show. I'm trying to find it on the internet.

I know they did The Early Show on CBS in 2001.

That was a disaster.

I know nothing of the sort. Journey is doing fine and I'm excited for the new CD. So there!

We've got room on the train Donna, jump on board and hang on.

Thanks, Rick. I'm glad you're excited for what is going on now. I just don't share that excitement, and don't want to be riding on that train when it crashes.

Supposing it doesn't derail, I'll save you a spot.

Pinoy "Journey" lead singer thanks DeGeneres for praise

By REYMA BUAN-DEVEZA

abs-cbnNEWS.com

Arnel Pineda, the new lead singer of popular American rock band "Journey," was praised for his awesome singing talent by well-known talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

"I’m thankful because finally they’d recognized Filipino talents… I'm just one of the few who really gets lucky. So I thank God for that," Pineda exclusively told abs-cbnNEWS.com.

"I was surprised. I did not expect that she will feature me on her show. Then there are also gossips that she wanted me and the whole band to guest on her show," Pineda added.

Ellen wants Pineda and Journey

Pineda’s statement stemmed from reports and video clips from www.youtube.com showing DeGeneres featuring Pineda on her program, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". On the show, she shared some details on how Pineda turned out to be the newest vocalist of the band.

In the video, DeGeneres said: "This guy, this is not lipsinging he's actually singing. His name is Arnel Pineda, (shows clip of Pineda while singing) anyways he is incredible! So the guitarist from journey Neal Schon saw this video and he sent email to Arnel and Arnel emailed back and now Arnel is in the studio recording the Journey album. He is gonna be the lead singer of "Journey" how cool is that. Let that be a lesson to you don't stop believing. And i think i want him on the show I think we were talking to him about he maybe on the show -- I think the whole band."

Ellen also acknowledged that there are lots of talented singers from the Philippines and even mentioned young Filipina singer Charice Pempengco, who guested on her show which drew a lot of viewer attention.

Talks of guesting

At the moment, there are already reports that talks are in the process to have Pineda and the whole band of Journey -- Neal Schon (guitar), Jonathan Cain (keyboards), Ross Valory (bass), Deen Castronovo (drums), to be on the said show.

But according to Pineda the decision whether it is possible for him to guest on "Ellen" will be decided by the management of "Journey."

"We have to find out first if it’s valid, if it’s okay or not to guest on her show, only the "Journey" can decide on it," Pineda explained.

Pineda also said that up to now he has not yet received any call from "Journey" regarding the said invitation but if given the choice, he will definitely accept the opportunity.

Right now, Pineda is in the country to take a short break away from his work. He arrived March 12 and stayed with his family during the Holy Week. He is set to go back to the US on March 29 to do one show.

Pineda restated his gratefulness to all his fans and supporters who are always there for him.

"Thank you. I'm also thankful that they are supporting the Filipino talents. I will try my best to make you guys proud of me."

The singer joined his first band at age 15 and has been singing professionally for the past 25 years. His voice also won him the Best Vocalist award at the World Band Explosion in 1987 -- a feat that he repeated the following year.

He has been a veteran of several bands and was a regular in clubs in Makati, Olongapo and Quezon City. His last band, The Zoo, released its first album "Zoology" under MCA Universal Records last September 2007.

It was Pineda's stint in The Zoo that got him noticed by Journey axeman Neal Schon. Schon said he was looking for a replacement singer on popular video-sharing site YouTube.com when he discovered videos of Pineda and The Zoo singing Journey songs, such as "Open Arms" and "Faithfully".

After this, the band asked Pineda to join them as their vocalist and the rest is history.

Arnel landed back in the U.S. safely yesterday. He was accompanied by body guards as their was a small contingent of fans there to welcome him back. He stopped briefly, said a few words and was hurried out to a limo. Just an update.

[DrFU]

For every out of date, fat, old housewife they lose, they'll gain twice that with Arnel, new music, and the desire to work.

Yeah, here we are...lookin' like shit and not a brain cell or original thought among us.
