[quote name='YouMa' post='307533' date='Oct 16 2008, 02:00 AM']People who slag off bands like these should try and play them as well.I would rather watch a bunch of proggers/stadium bands do decent lovey dovey songs in a rock bad shirt mellodrama than watch some awful "modern" 25 something pastiche punk/ska band who dont know get or barely play what the f*** they think they are on about.(Most of them seem to work for banks or recruitment really)[/quote]

I'd actually be happy to watch either! I love prog and punk. Ska-Punk-Prog...now there's a genre waiting to be explored!

Journey are just awesome, quality players all round.

I had the pleasure of seeing them live in June this year and was blown away by their performance.

The new vocalist Arnett is every bit a match to Steve Perry's vocals.

This band make the current crop i.e. Kaiser Chiefs, Artic Monkeys etc look very amateurish in their live performances and musical ability.

The reason why a lot of the big live acts from way back (Toto, Foreigner, Tod Rundgren, Uriah Heep) are touring again is because people are becoming sick of the same old dross being played by the current crop of over hyped bands, and want to see seasoned musicians/vocalists who can actually play live.


I'm not just into Rock, I'm also well into Soul,Funk, Jazz, Blues etc.

I hadn't spotted that Todd was over, thanks for that :)

Last tour was great - didn't play a single one of his 'hits' from what I remember which upset a few people but we thought he was really good.

I learned it for our band (girl singer) and hadn't heard it since I was a kid. I love the way they end it.

But there are lots of bands with talented musicians that sound bad.

Equally - thankfully - there are lots of bands made up of mediocre musicians with terrible voices who sound [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6xsKsJqVyg"]awesome[/url]. And he's got a pretty stonking bass sound too. :)

Let's just face it: Everybody loves it. Those who don't are in denial.
