ok, could be me, i just heard it on the internet feed from wpyx 106.5 out of albany, but all i kept thinking was..........HOW FRIGGING SIMILAR TO JSS'S "BELIEVE IN ME" IS THIS SONG?!?!?!??!??! the chorus especially "will she stay or will she go" vs. "believe in me tonight".........


i know my ears are not trained but damn..................... Evil or Very Mad

Well since Journey didn't give him any credit for except in the liner notes of the new album. Jeremey, you helped create a damn fine song. I'm still not sold on Pineda but all in all he doesn't sound that bad.

Maria, Jeff was not the right fit for the band, He's a great singer but not for Journey. New songs will surprise alot of people. Very Happy

I think that will change after you hear some more songs. Cool

the point is that if they wanted a new direction they could have gone in one with jeff. i was not a fan of him singing the dirty dozen, but he was decent on the deeper cuts. i would have gone to see jeff fronting the band.

Jeff was not the right fit, Can not elobrate on this sorry. I agree with you he was alright on the so call dirty dozen. Jeff is a great singer but not on Journey material the way they wanted it to sound.

you're all missing the point of my initial post.

this thread is about the blatant similarities between "never walk away", "believe in me", "never too late" and "be good to yourself". i just listened to them all on a shuffle and the only constant in each song is neal. there is no creativity to the new song whatsoever. being the classic sound is one thing, but having the exact same guitar line and melody is another. the only difference i hear with bgty is the heavy keys. it's a decent song, but it is not anything new or fresh. honestly, deep down, and i know i'm not alone, i wanted to be blown away. i'm not.

Holy crap! I just listened to this and, I swear, it sounds like I had all 4 of those songs in separate CD players, all going at the same time, with it being really heavy on BGTY and BIM! affraid Even though I haven't purchased a single thing from them since the last show I attended, I feel like I was just ripped off, for God's sake (no offense to our 'God', of course). Shocked I know that they re-recorded the classics (yeah, whatever), but now it seems that they can't even record an original tune anymore. Exclamation

OK, I just had to shut if off. I just can't possibly listen to that anymore. Evil or Very Mad To the average fan who hasn't heard Jeff's 'Believe in Me', they probably won't notice. However, people on another board (who SHOULD have) haven't even seemed to notice. scratch With your permission, Maria, I'd like to point out your observation to them. Twisted Evil

Holy crap! I still can't believe what I heard!!! Shocked

I wonder if JSS has grounds to go after Journey for stealing his material????

Bottom line, what's with Neal's guitar on this? Kinda like shoving the guitar down my throat. OK... I get it, he can play the guitar, but c'mon.

Arnel's vocals were ok at best. Nothing made me turn my head and go "OMG!". and frankly, I want that out of Journey to bother anymore.

Do you know who co-wrote Believe in Me? look it up. JSS has no grounds for anything.

Goddess I am just relaying what the band had said. (I have a friend who works in music mgt. He knows the band) IMO they were correct. I loved JSS in Soul Sirkus and I believe Neal should have kept that band. His voice did not sound like Journey, which to me means a voice like Kevin Chalfant and now Arnel. Just my opinion. Smile any questions please feel free to ask.

I think Kevin Chalfant would have been better than Arnel - I'm not a huge Journey fan but it does seem rather odd how things went down.
