It was on May 7, 1998 that stadium rockersÂ JourneyÂ earned a guaranteed episode of VH1′s then ultra-popular ‘Behind the Music’ series when singer Steve Perry broke ranks with the band for a second time. At least the first time, in the 1980s, Perry’s exit had been voluntary: the result of his impressive recent solo success and [...]

Matt Wardlaw — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 04:01:43 +0000

Journey Unlikely to Release Another Album, Says Jonathan Cain

Jeff Giles — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 04:01:38 +0000

In addition to its always-packed tour schedule, Journey stayed pretty busy in the studio during the first decade of the new century, releasing four albums (2001′s ‘Arrival,’ 2005′s ‘Generations,’ 2008′s ‘Revelation,’ and 2011′s ‘Eclipse’) in a 10-year span. Sadly, however, it appears they might be finished recording for the foreseeable future. Keyboard player Jonathan Cain [...]

Their previous album, 1981â€™s â€˜Escape,â€™ contained their best set of songs, a consistent mix of radio-friendly pop and fist-raising rock that they had been striving for since 1975. The band was rewarded [...]

Journey Documentary Film Debuts First Trailer

Jeff Giles — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 05:01:15 +0000

Arnel Pinada isn't the first cover band singer who's been hired to replace the guy he sounds like -- in fact, as former Judas Priest frontman Ripper Owens would be quick to point out, his story isn't even the first to inspire a movie. However, as the first trailer for the upcoming Journey documentary takes pains to argue, Pineda's tale might be the most inspiring.

Eduardo Rivadavia — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 05:01:02 +0000

Classic Memorial Auditorium Concert Tickets — It Cost WHAT to See WHO?!

Joe Russo — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 10:00:48 +0000

In 1986, I told my mom that I was sleeping over my friend Jay's house so I could wait out all night to buy tickets to Van Halen's show at the Niagara Falls Convention Center. It was the first tour with new lead singer Sammy Hagar, and we were all jammin' "Why Can't This Be Love" in our boom boxes on a daily basis. I made $80 a week working at Burger King, so shelling out $25 to see Van Halen was kind of a big deal. I ended up getting 17th row. That same ticket today would have cost me about $250.

John Waite, Who Plays Tonight in Akron, Calls Out Journey as 'Super White Music'

Dave Lifton — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 13:00:42 +0000

There’s little we like more, than the beginnings of a good, old-fashioned musician slap-fight. And while it’s not a shock that the newest one involves Journey, it is surprising that it isn’t between past and former members of the band. Instead, it came out of nowhere, with John Waite, late member of Bad English and the Babys, firing the first shot at the rock legends.
