Danny Vaughn is an American singer that has performed with Waysted, Tyketto and Vaughn and now performs and releases under his own name as well.Danny Vaughn is a product of Steiner education. At lower school, he was placed into a choir. “My first public performance was singing Pie Jesu in soprano. I remember the audience craning their necks to see who the little kid who sang the solo was. My best-loved experience, during those days, was singing in harmony. It stayed with me ever since.” His schooling taught Vaughn to read and enjoy classical music, though his teenage years were filled with a love for the pop classics, especially Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel: anything that provided harmonizing, folk-rock, edged with the baroque.After leaving school, Danny played in several local cover bands, many of them playing classic covers in rock-joints around Rockland County New York. “One day I got a message that the Welsh rock guitarist Paul Chapman (Skid Row, UFO) was looking for me. I brushed it aside, but my curiosity got the better of me and I called the number. I was invited to do an audition down in Florida, for Paul's new project: DOA, and recorded a demo with him that he took to the UK to shop with the record companies there. But that went by the wayside when Pete Way invited Paul to join Waysted instead. Of course they'd already found themselves a talented vocalist in Fin Muir. So that was that!” “But in 1985, they had a falling out with Fin and I was invited to learn a bunch of Waysted and UFO songs just days before a huge show at Ramat Gan football stadium, in Tel Aviv. I endured. It was my trial-by fire-audition for a band I continued to play with till 1987.” 1987 Vaughn formed Tyketto, a band he was in until 1994 when he was replaced by future Journey singer Steve Augeri. Tyketto split up in 1996, but have played mini-tours with Vaughn and other original members at various times since 2004. The reunited Tyketto also released two albums Dig In Deep (2012) and Reach (2016), The band has started a new chapter with a couple new members joining recently and 2023 will see the band return to live concert action.Danny talks about all that and more on episode #51 of podcast right here!

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Journey es una banda de rock creada en 1973 en San Francisco, Estados Unidos, por el teclista Gregg Rolie y el guitarrista Neal Schon, integrantes originales de Santana. De estilo rock progresivo en sus inicios, fue cambiando a un estilo más melódico con la incorporación del vocalista Steve Perry en 1978, quien con su voz convirtió a la banda en una de las más destacadas de los años 1980, con ventas de más de 75 millones de discos en todo el mundo convirtiéndolos en uno de los artistas más exitosos de todos los tiempos Journey alcanzó la cima del éxito en 1981 con el álbum Escape, que contenía canciones como «Open Arms», «Who's Crying Now» y «Don't Stop Believin'». Durante ese período, la banda lanzó una serie de canciones de éxito, incluyendo «Don't Stop Believin'» de 1981, el más vendido en la historia de iTunes Las raíces de Journey se encuentran en San Francisco, donde en 1971 el representante de Carlos Santana, Walter Herbie Herbert, decidió organizar una banda de músicos, originalmente llamada The Golden Gate Rhythm Section. Insatisfecho con la dirección musical que buscaba Santana, el teclista/vocalista Gregg Rolie y el guitarrista Neal Schon dejaron la banda en 1972. Prairie Prince de The Tubes, el bajista Ross Valory de Frumious Bandersnatch, y el guitarrista rítmico George Tickner fueron añadidos al nuevo proyecto. Tras un infructuoso concurso radial que buscaba un nombre para el grupo, Jack Villanueva sugirió el nombre "Journey.". La primera aparición pública del grupo fue en Winterland en la víspera de año nuevo en 1973. Al día siguiente volaron a Hawái a tocar en el Crater Festival. A comienzos de 1973, Prairie Prince se reunió con su antiguo grupo, The Tubes, así que Herbert trajo a Aynsley Dunbar, un baterista que había tocado con John Lennon, Frank Zappa, John Mayall, Jeff Beck, Bonzo Dog Band, Mothers of Invention, Lou Reed, y David Bowie. El 5 de febrero de 1974, la nueva conformación del grupo debutó en el Great American Music Hall, asegurando un contrato con Columbia Records. Journey lanzó su álbum homónimo en 1975. Ese mismo año Journey invitó a Albert King a uno de sus conciertos. El disco mostraba el considerable talento de la banda para la música jazz-fusión y el rock progresivo. El guitarrista rítmico Tickner dejó la banda poco antes de la grabación del segundo álbum del grupo, Look into the Future (1976), el cual le bajó el tono al sonido progresivo del primer disco, pero retuvo su base de jazz-fusión. El siguiente disco, Next, intentó reducir la duración de sus canciones para apelar a una mayor audiencia, e incluyó a Neal Schon cantando varias de las canciones, pero aun así, el éxito comercial seguía eludiéndoles. Con las ventas mediocres de Next el grupo fue presionado por el estudio para cambiar de dirección y buscar un nuevo cantante. Como resultado, Journey trajo a Robert Fleischman. Nativo del sur de California, Fleischman había estado tocando con un grupo de Chicago cuando su representante, Barry Fey, lo trajo a Denver en 1977 para una entrevista con ejecutivos de un estudio. "Estaba nevando mucho y no sabíamos si los ejecutivos iban a lograr llegar a la reunión, pero luego aparecieron muchas personas de la Costa Oeste y de la Costa Este" recuerda Fleischman. Él fue "descubierto" por un ejecutivo de la CBS en dicha reunión, y un par de semanas después, fue enviado a San Francisco para una audición con Journey. A Fleischman le fue notificado que la banda buscaba un estilo más popular, similar al de Foreigner o Boston, por lo que Fleischman supo que su vocalización inspirada por Robert Plant de Led Zeppelin sería un extra. Sin embargo, la potencia de la banda a la que él se intentaba unir, lo impresionó. En su primera sesión de estudio juntos, Fleishman señala, "Era como... tener fuegos artificiales en la bolsa de atrás. Ellos llevaban tanto tiempo tocando juntos, y lo hacían tan bien, que era grandioso tocar con gente así". Dichas sesiones produjeron el tema "For You," que luego aparecería en Time, y "Wheel in the Sky," que luego fue re-editada sin Fleischman para el disco Infinity. Fleischman salió de gira con la banda a inicios del año siguiente, pero su lugar en el grupo tenía las horas contadas. Mantuvo a su propio representante, Barry Fey, lo cual demostró ser una constante confrontación con el representante de Journey, Herbie Herbert. Adicionalmente, Herbert parecía no estar dispuesto a dejar que la nueva dirección de la banda saliera a relucir de inmediato, lo cual terminó en situaciones como que Fleischman tenía que agitar una pandereta mientras el resto del grupo seguía tocando sus canciones antiguas para su grupo de seguidores jazz-fusión. Fleischman también chocó con otros miembros del grupo debido a que, aparentemente, no era un escritor de canciones muy productivo. El representante Herbie Herbert había oído mencionar al cantante Steve Perry, quien había pasado recientemente por la ruptura de su grupo Alien Project. Tras oír una demo de Perry (que Jack Villanueva le había hecho llegar), Herbie supo que había que hacer un cambio. Tras un interesante entretiempo durante el que Perry fue presentado a la banda (se le dijo a Fleischman que Perry era el primo portugués de Villanueva), Fleischman fue despedido. Perry hizo su debut público con Journey en el Old Waldorf en San Francisco, el 28 de octubre de 1977. Perry conoció a Schon, y la pareja rápidamente escribió su primera canción, "Patiently", que aparecería en el disco Infinity de 1978. Perry aportó su voz de contratenor, limpia y poderosa, a canciones como "Lights," "Wheel in the Sky," y "Anytime." Además, el productor de Queen, Roy Thomas Baker (originalmente traído por Fleischman) ayudó a darle más capas al sonido de la banda. Los cambios funcionaron, y Journey saltó al estrellato. Infinity llegó al puesto Nº 21 en ventas de discos y le dio a Journey su primer disco de platino. Sin embargo, no todos los miembros del grupo estaban felices con la nueva dirección musical. En septiembre de 1978, el baterista Aynsley Dunbar fue despedido y reemplazado por Steve Smith, quien había estudiado jazz en la prestigiosa escuela Berklee en Boston, Massachusetts. El siguiente álbum de la banda, Evolution produjo el primer sencillo Top 20 de Journey, "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin.'" El álbum Departure (1980) extendió el ascenso del grupo, llegando al n.º 8 en ventas de discos. «Any Way You Want It» fue un éxito Top 25 con amplia difusión en la radio. Luego, Journey fue a Japón a grabar la banda sonora de la película Dream After Dream, a petición del director de dicho filme. En este punto, los conciertos en vivo eran llenados por fanáticos que favorecían la nueva dirección musical del grupo, con algunos celebrando a Perry como alguna vez se hizo con Elvis Presley (sin embargo, el grupo tocaba sus viejas canciones durante los descansos de Perry tras bambalinas). Journey estaba destinado al éxito en gran escala, y a inicios de 1981 lanzó un disco en vivo llamado Captured, grabado durante los conciertos de la gira Departure en 1980. Las primeras 5 canciones del disco fueron del concierto del 8 de agosto en el Fórum de Montreal (Quebec). Otras 2 fueron de conciertos en Tokio y el resto del Cobo Hall en Detroit. Exhausto de tanto salir de gira, Rolie dejó el grupo, siendo esta la segunda vez que abandonaba una banda exitosa en su carrera. Recomendó a Jonathan Cain de The Babys para que lo reemplazara. Como si pudiera predecir el ambiente musical de los 1980s, Cain favoreció el uso del sintetizador por encima del órgano Hammond de Rolie. El grupo sabía que se les estaba uniendo un gran teclista, pero ignoraban lo poderoso de las habilidades de Cain para escribir canciones. En 1981, el séptimo disco de estudio de Journey, Escape llegó al n.º 1 de las listas, y finalmente se convirtió en su disco más vendido y popular, siendo 9 veces disco de platino. Los sencillos «Who's Crying Now», «Don't Stop Believin'» y «Open Arms» llegaron al Top 10. El trabajado sonido de la banda, encabezada por el distintivo sonido (y pronto, ampliamente imitado) de Steve Perry, se convirtió en una presencia popular en la radio. El canal MTV grabó uno de sus dos conciertos a sala llena en Houston, Texas, el 6 de noviembre de 1981 en frente de más de 20.000 aficionados. En particular, «Don't Stop Believin'» mostraba lo bien logrado del rango de contratenor de Perry en conjunto con el piano de Cain y la dinámica guitarra de Schon. «Open Arms», que estuvo 6 semanas en el n.º 2 en las listas de popularidad, ayudaron a establecer a Journey como el estándar del rock de los años ochenta. Tal éxito le valió poco a Journey con los críticos de música. La Rolling Stone Record Guide de 1983 le dio a cada uno de sus discos solo una estrella, y el crítico Dave Marsh escribió que «Journey era un callejón sin salida para el rock de San Francisco... excesiva trivialidad... banalidad... una explotación de un acto cínico». Marsh luego añadió Escape como uno de los peores discos en llegar al n.º 1 en la historia. Con justicia o no, los críticos a menudo categorizaban a Journey con otros actos de rock corporativo como Foreigner, Asia y Survivor. Journey también fue uno de los primeros grupos en ser patrocinado por una empresa grande, Budweiser, al cual mencionaban en las portadas de sus discos. Esto contribuyó a su imagen negativa de rock corporativo, o más precisamente, rock patrocinado por empresas. El representante Herbie Herbert, sin embargo, comentó al respecto que «se debe sembrar mientras dure la primavera»[11] La banda claramente había cortado con sus raíces hippies de Haight-Ashbury. En 1982, la banda aportó la canción «Only Solutions» a la película Tron de Disney. Casualmente, ese mismo año Journey se volvió el primer grupo en inspirar un videojuego: el arcade Journey por Bally/Midway, y Journey Escape de Data Age, para el Atari 2600. El próximo disco de Journey, Frontiers (1983), continuó su éxito comercial. Llegó al n.º 2 de ventas, y produjo 4 sencillos exitosos, de los cuales «Faithfully» y «Separate Ways» llegaron a n.º 12 y 8, respectivamente. La presencia de Cain continuó siendo fuerte en este disco, tanto por ser cantautor (él solo escribió «Faithfully») como por su uso de sintetizadores. Había llegado la era de MTV, y la popularidad de Journey se incrementó por un vídeo musical de corte documental acerca de «Faithfully», que mostraba a varios miembros del grupo con sus familias de gira, y que ayudó a que la canción se ganara un lugar, junto con «Turn the Page» de Bob Seger y «The Load's Out» de Jackson Browne, como una canción favorita para conciertos. Las escenas del documental fueron rodadas en Estadio JFK en Filadelfia, Pensilvania, con más de 80.000 aficionados presentes. Poco tiempo después, la banda recibió una petición de un joven moribundo de 16 años llamado Kenny Sykaluk, quien luchaba contra la fibrosis quística. Kenny quería conocer a la banda. Journey honró el deseo de Kenny, y no sólo lo visitaron en su cama, sino que le obsequiaron un walkman con su último sencillo, «Only the Young». Kenny murió en menos de un día después. En el episodio de Behind the Music de Journey, Jonathan Cain lloró al recordar la visita a Kenny, mientras que Neal Schon dijo que dicha visita «cambió mi forma de ver la vida». El cantante Steve Perry recibió mucho del crédito por el éxito de Journey. En 1984, lanzó un disco como solista, Street Talk, el cual tuvo éxito y lanzó un sencillo popular, cuyo vídeo fue emitido en MTV, llamado «Oh Sherrie». Perry también grabó Don't Fight It (1982), con Kenny Loggins. El guitarrista Neal Schon produjo dos discos con Jan Hammer en 1981 y 1983, y en 1985 fue parte del proyecto Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve (junto a Sammy Hagar, Kenny Aaronson y Michael Shrieve). Tras el lanzamiento de su disco en solitario, Perry tomó el control de la dirección musical en estudio de la banda. Para decepción del representante Herbie Herbert, el bajista Ross Valory y el baterista Steve Smith fueron despedidos de la banda por diferencias musicales y profesionales, y en 1986 Journey lanzó su álbum Raised on Radio como un trío Perry, Schon, y Cain. Varios músicos de estudio llenaron las dos vacantes, entre ellos el ahora jurado de American Idol, Randy Jackson y el establecido músico de estudio Larrie Londin. La producción se detuvo constantemente, debido a la decadente salud de la madre de Perry, Mary Pereira. Al final, el álbum vendió dos millones de copias. Una truncada gira le siguió, presentando a Jackson en el bajo y a Mike Baird en la batería. Luego, Perry, exhausto de tantas giras, sufriendo por la reciente muerte de su madre (con quien tuvo una relación muy cercana) y el colapso de su relación de 6 años con Sherrie Swafford, dejó Journey en 1987, terminando el recorrido de la banda en la cima. A pesar de trabajar en un proyecto en solitario en 1989 titulado Against The Wall, el cual finalmente fue desechado, Steve Perry abandonó la industria musical por varios años antes de grabar «For the Love of Strange Medicine» en 1994 y lanzar un compilado de grandes éxitos en 1998. Neal Schon y Jonathan Cain hicieron equipo con los ex-Babys (la antigua banda de Cain), John Waite y Ricky Phillips, formando Bad English con el baterista Deen Castronovo en 1988. Además, cada uno grabó discos en solitario. Luego, Schon y Castronovo se unieron al grupo del cuñado de Schon, Hardline. Steve Smith se metió de lleno en su proyecto de jazz, Vital Information, el cual eventualmente llegó a desarrollar un grupo de fanáticos de tamaño respetable. En 1991, Ross Valory, Steve Smith, y Greg Rolie se unieron a The Storm con el cantante Kevin Chalfant y el guitarrista Josh Ramos. De 1987 a 1995, Journey observó cómo crecía la venta de sus discos. Lanzaron tres recopilatorios, los cuales lograron excelentes ventas. En 1993, Kevin Chalfant (de The Storm) tocó con los miembros de Journey en algunos conciertos, y Schon, Cain, Valory, Smith y Rolie consideraron brevemente una reunión bajo el nombre de Journey con Chalfant como cantante, pero al final tal proyecto no fructificó. Ese año, Steve Perry propuso volver a la banda bajo la condición de que se cambiara de representante. Herbie Herbert fue despedido y se eligió a Irving Azoff, y en 1995 Perry volvió una vez más a Journey. En 1995, la formación que tenía Journey en 1981 volvió a juntarse. Perry, Schon, Smith, Cain, y Valory volvieron al estudio y produjeron el famoso disco Trial by Fire en 1996, que incluye los éxitos «When You Love a Woman» y «Message of Love», nominado a un Grammy. Tras el éxito de Trial by Fire, los miembros de Journey se prepararon para una gira prometedora. La sensación causada en los medios y la emoción alrededor de volver a ver a la banda de gira fueron intensas, pero todo esto llegó a un abrupto final cuando Perry se lastimó la cadera en una caminata en Háwai. Perry probablemente iba a necesitar un reemplazo de cadera. A pesar de esto, le fue difícil tomar una decisión respecto a su estado de salud (pues le era imposible presentarse en el escenario sin someterse a dicha cirugía), pero en 1998 la banda lo presionó para que tomara una decisión. Cuando Perry rehusó a operarse, Cain y Schon decidieron continuar la banda sin él. El baterista Steve Smith decidió dejar la banda en esa misma época, para volver a Vital Information. En febrero de 2001, la banda participó en un episodio de Behind the Music en VH1, pero algunos comentarios hechos durante la grabación del programa contribuyeron a calentar los ánimos entre Perry y el resto de la banda. Ese mismo año, Herbie Herbert ofreció una entrevista en la que él daba su propia opinión acerca de la historia del grupo.[12] Luego, en 2003, Robert Fleischman comentó su propia participación en el grupo.[13] En 1998 Journey se vio buscando baterista y cantante. La plaza de baterista fue llenada por Deen Castronovo, compañero de Schon y Cain en Bad English, y que entonces tocaba con Hardline. El nuevo cantante fue Steve Augeri, anteriormente de Tyketto y Tall Stories. Augeri había abandonado el negocio de la música y trabajaba como gerente en una tienda de The Gap en Nueva York. Augeri recibió una llamada telefónica de Schon, quien había escuchado su demo. Schon lo invitó a audicionar para la banda y, a pesar de no haber cantado mucho en tiempos recientes, impresionó a los miembros de Journey lo suficiente como para obtener el trabajo. El parecido de Augeri con Perry, tanto visual, vocal, y hasta en su nombre, causó cierto revuelo entre los fanáticos más antiguos, ayudado por la popularidad de internet y sus foros. Algunos fanes rechazaron a un Journey sin Steve Perry. Otros se volvieron verdaderos fanes de Steve Augeri, culpando a Perry por la decaída popularidad de la banda. Pero la mayoría de los fanáticos dudaron del cambio y (tras oírlo en vivo o en disco) aceptaron a Steve Augeri. Además de su talento, esto tenía mucho que ver con la personalidad del nuevo cantante: era extremadamente amable y simpático con cada nuevo fanático que conocía. La nueva formación de Journey rápidamente volvió a trabajar, grabando una canción para la película Armageddon llamada «Remember Me». En 2001, lanzaron su siguiente disco de estudio, Arrival. El disco originalmente fue publicado en Japón a finales de 2000, pero debido a que algunas de las canciones del disco se filtraron y terminaron en internet con comentarios mayormente negativos de los fanes por su sonido de balada, Journey decidió demorar un poco el lanzamiento de dicho disco en Estados Unidos y añadir dos canciones más pesadas para la versión estadounidense. «All the Way», de dicho disco, se convirtió en un éxito menor. En 2003, la banda lanzó un CD con cuatro canciones titulado Red 13, cuyo diseño de portada fue escogido en un concurso de fanes. En 2005, la banda se embarcó en su gira de 30 aniversario, regalando copias promocionales de su último lanzamiento de estudio, Generations para ganadores seleccionados en cada concierto. Tales conciertos, que duraban tres horas, eran divididos en dos partes: la primera con material de la época de su mayor fama (algunas de esas canciones, tocadas en vivo por primera vez en décadas), mientras que la segunda parte comprendía Escape y otros. La reputación de Journey ante la crítica no mejoró al cabo del tiempo: la edición de 2004 del Rolling Stone Album Guide llama a Journey el «acto de karaoke perfecto», y no le da más de dos estrellas y media (de cinco posibles) a ninguno de sus discos. Varias bandas tributo de Journey se han formado por todo Estados Unidos, con distintos grados de éxito (usualmente en escala local), y el cantante Kevin Chalfant de The Storm ocasionalmente se juntaba con The Gregg Rolie Band para tocar algunos éxitos de Journey de la época 1978-1980. Aunque ha sido criticado como un grupo de orden corporativo, Journey ha retenido una masa de fanes fiel a lo largo de su carrera; su música aparece en programas de TV y películas. La radio a menudo toca sus éxitos, exponiendo su música a nuevas generaciones de oyentes. Journey ganó nuevas atenciones en la década del 2000, debido a que Randy Jackson, tras su participación con Journey, se convirtió en un ejecutivo musical muy exitoso, y luego en juez de American Idol. Vídeos de Jackson con la banda se han mostrado en el programa, y varios de los participantes han intentado cantar canciones de Journey. Los más recordados han sido Clay Aiken cantando «Open Arms» en una semifinal (y luego a dúo con Kelly Clarkson en una gira de conciertos), y Elliott Yamin, también con dicha canción, en la semifinal de 2006. Judy Torres lanzó una versión del sencillo «Faithfully» en 2005. La canción «Don't Stop Believin'» se convirtió en un himno de batalla de la Serie Mundial de 2004, donde los campeones Medias Rojas de Boston ganaron la serie tras ir abajo 3 juegos a 0 contra los Yankees en la serie de división de la Liga Americana y también en 2005, donde en el desfile de la victoria de los Chicago White Sox, Steve Perry fue invitado para que cantara con miembros del equipo. El 6 de febrero de 2005 «Don't Stop Believin'» salió en un anuncio de FedEx, en el que salía Burt Reynolds y que fue programado durante el Super Bowl XXXIX. En diciembre de 2005, «Don't Stop Believin'» llegó al n.º 13 en la lista Hot Digital Songs, y fue nominada para dos categorías en unos premios de VH1. En julio de 2007, la canción apareció en la escena final de la serie de HBO The Sopranos. Petra Haden lanzó un cover de la canción en septiembre de 2007. En 2003, Journey fue admitido al Salón de la Fama de la Música de San Francisco. A la ceremonia asistieron Gregg Rolie, Jonathan Cain, Steve Smith, Ross Valory, Neal Schon, Aynsley Dunbar, Deen Castronovo, y Steve Augeri. Dos años más tarde, el 21 de enero de 2005, Journey recibió una estrella en el Paseo de la Fama de Hollywood, y Steve Perry apareció de sorpresa en la ceremonia. Las relaciones con el resto del grupo mejoraron, pero Perry dijo que no había posibilidad de una reunión con su antigua banda en el futuro cercano. Diez miembros de Journey se juntaron ese día: Perry, Augeri, Cain, Castronovo, Dunbar, Fleischman, Schon, Smith, George Tickner, y Valory. En 2009, la serie Glee, del canal Fox, hace varias referencias a Journey en diferentes capítulos de la primera temporada, siendo Don't Stop Believin' la canción principal del primer capítulo de la serie. En la temporada final, se realiza un «Journey Medley». En julio de 2006, Steve Augeri comenzó a experimentar problemas con su voz y fue obligado a renunciar. Anunció que dejaría la banda por un tiempo debido a una infección en la garganta que requería que dejara descansar a sus cuerdas vocales. La banda trajo a Jeff Scott Soto para sustituirlo. Además, Deen Castronovo, quien llevaba tiempo cantando los coros e incluso sustituyendo a Augeri como cantante, cantó en power ballads como «Faithfully» y «Open Arms». El 19 de diciembre de 2006 la banda emitió un comunicado en su página oficial, donde nombraban a Soto como vocalista permanente. Sin embargo, el 12 de junio de 2007, Journey anunció la salida de Soto. El breve periodo de Jeff Scott Soto como vocalista se parece al igualmente breve periodo de Robert Fleischman en la misma posición en 1977, de la cual salió la decisión de contratar a Steve Perry. Los fanes especulan que la banda persigue la misma cadena de sucesos que hace 30 años les dio resultado. En septiembre de 2007, empezaron a circular fotos del poco conocido cantante Arnel Pineda con Journey. En el sitio oficial de Journey se da el comunicado oficial que Arnel Pineda será el nuevo vocalista oficial. Pineda tocaba con el grupo The Zoo el cual se dedicaba a tocar versiones de varias bandas. Neal Schon lo encontró por YouTube. Se contactó con él y luego de una soberbia audición fue incorporado a la banda. Su primera presentación oficial con Journey se realizó el 21 de febrero del 2008 en el Festival Internacional de la Canción de Viña del Mar en Chile con una transmisión televisiva en conjunto para 80 países y en vivo por señales locales, de cable y el afamado canal A&E. Pineda derrochó energía y logró cautivar a todo el público con su voz muy parecida a la de Steve Perry y su gran presencia escénica, rejuveneciendo a la banda y dejando en segundo plano su carácter de absoluto novato. Los periódicos y sitios de Internet de foros audiovisuales tipo YouTube se plagaron a los pocos minutos de sendos elogios para el nuevo vocalista y a su vez la prensa especializada nacional como extranjera alabó la presentación del grupo. Journey dio luego un concierto en el Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo de Santiago, Chile, el 23 de febrero del 2008 junto a Peter Frampton y Earth, Wind & Fire, constituyéndose Chile en la única parada que se realizaría en Sudamérica con un gran éxito. Su siguiente álbum, Revelation, debutó en el n.º 5 en las listas de Billboard, vendiendo más de 196.000 unidades en sus dos primeras semanas y manteniéndose en el top 20 durante 6 semanas.Journey también encontró el éxito en las listas contemporáneas, donde el sencillo «After All These Years» pasó más de 23 semanas alcanzando el número 9. Los ingresos procedentes de la gira del 2008 la convirtieron en una de las más taquilleras del año, recaudando más de 35 millones de dólares. El 18 de diciembre de 2008, el álbum Revelation fue certificado disco de platino por la RIAA. El segundo álbum de la banda con Pineda, Eclipse, fue lanzado el 24 de mayo de 2011, y debutó en el n.º 13 en el Billboard 200. En noviembre de 2011, Journey lanzó su segunda recopilación de grandes éxitos, titulada Journey: Greatest Hits: Volume 2, que incluye canciones escogidas por el exvocalista Steve Perry. Durante la gira del año 2015, el baterista Deen Castronovo fue reemplazado por el músico de sesión Omar Hakim. Luego la banda anunció que Steve Smith retornaría nuevamente a ocupar el puesto de baterista en Journey. 25 de Junio 2021 nuevo single de Journey «The Way We Used To Be» es la primera canción que se estrena con la formación actual de Journey, compuesta por el guitarrista Neal Schon, el cantante Arnel Pineda y el teclista Jonathan Cain junto con las últimas incorporaciones: el batería Narada Michael Walden, el bajista Randy Jackson y teclista y cantante Jason Derlatka. A lo largo de diferentes entrevistas, el guitarrista Neal Schon ha dado a entender que esta nueva entrega discográfica está bastante avanzada, y que con suerte verá la luz antes de que termine el presente ejercicio. “Ya tenemos como seis temas rockeros», comentaba Schon en una entrevista con Rock & Review de FOX17 a finales del pasado año, y añadía que publicaran unos tres singles antes de estrenar el álbum completo e iniciar su gira de presentación. 29 de Julio de 2021 Deen Castronovo vuelve a Journey El guitarrista de Journey, Neal Schon, ha confirmado en las redes sociales que el ex baterista Deen Castronovo se ha reincorporado a la banda. Schon confirmó el regreso de Castronovo en una serie de comentarios en Facebook debajo de una historia del San Francisco Chronicle sobre Journey, que compartió el miércoles. Un fan comentó en la publicación, «Entonces, ¿Deen Castronovo está de vuelta en la banda ahora a tiempo completo?» a lo que Schon respondió simplemente, «Sí». Respondiendo a otro fan que imploró a la banda que «traigan de vuelta a Deen de nuevo», escribió Schon, «Deen ha vuelto. Ahora somos dobles (2) bateristas con Narada [Michael Walden, que se unió a la banda en 2020]». Schon no reveló hasta qué punto Castronovo participará en los espectáculos de Journey inmediatos y futuros. El guitarrista insinuó del regreso de Castronovo el martes cuando tuiteó una foto que parecía ser de los ensayos del concierto del viernes por la noche de la banda en el Aragon Ballroom en Chicago, que precede a la actuación del domingo de Journey en Lollapalooza. «Ok … Doble problema Chicago @NaradaMWalden @DeenTheDrummer Narada Michael Walden y el regreso de Deen Castronovo a la batería @AragonBallroom @lollapalooza», subtituló Schon en su publicación.

www.iconsandoutlaws.com The band Journey came together in San Francisco in 1973 under the auspices of former Santana manager Herbie Herbert who also managed The Steve Miller band, Roxette, and Europe. They were initially called the Golden Gate Rhythm Section and were backup players for established Bay Area bands. Originally, it included Santana alumni Neal Schon on lead guitar and Gregg Rolie on keyboards and lead vocals. Completing the band were bassist Ross Valory and rhythm guitarist George Tickner, both from the band Frumious Bandersnatch. Prairie Prince of The Tubes served as drummer. After one particular performance in Hawaii, the crew quickly abandoned the "backup band" idea and began developing their own distinctive jazz fusion style. After an unsuccessful radio contest to name the group, roadie John Villanueva suggested the name "Journey." The band's first public gig was at the Winterland Ballroom on New Year's Eve 1973 to an audience of 10,000, and the following day, they flew to Hawaii to perform at the Diamond Head Crater to an even bigger audience. Prairie Prince returned to The Tubes shortly after. On February 1, 1974, the band hired British drummer Aynsley Dunbar, who had recently worked with the one and only David Bowie and was also a member of the second version of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. On February 5, 1974, the new lineup debuted at the Great American Music Hall, showcasing in front of Columbia Records executives. They signed a recording contract with the label following the performance and later performed at venues around the Bay Area. Journey went into CBS Studios in November 1974 with grammy award-winning producer Roy Halee to record their debut album "Journey." It was released in April 1975, entering the Billboard charts at number 138. This record was a jazzy progressive rock album focused mainly on the band's instrumental talents. It featured songs like "Of A Lifetime" and the instrumental, "Kahoutek,"; both songs pushing the 7-minute mark. Rhythm guitarist Tickner left the band shortly after due to the heavy touring the band was promoting the album, allowing Schon to take on the complete guitar duties. Journey entered the studio again in late 1975 to record "Look into the Future," released in January 1976 and hit the Billboard Top 200 charts at number 100. The band promoted the album with a two-hour performance at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, which later aired on the radio as touring continued to promote their second album. For this second album, the members of Journey toned down the overt progressiveness of their first release in favor of a more straightforward sound. The album also features a cover version of The Beatles' "It's All Too Much" from the 1968 Yellow Submarine film and 1969 soundtrack. The title track, "Look Into The Future," was the longest recorded Journey song at 8:10 until 1980, when "Destiny" from Dream, After Dream would claim that honor. From May to October 1976, the band went to "His Master's Wheels" Studios to record their third studio album, "Next," which, just like the previous album, was produced by the band. However, they brought a much more commercial sound while keeping their jazz fusion and progressive rock roots. The album was released in February and charted on the Billboard Top 200 at 85. It would be the last album to feature Gregg Rolie as the lead singer. "Spaceman" with the instrumental "Nickel and Dime" was the single, and, unfortunately, sales did not improve, which led Columbia Records to almost dropping the band. About these times in the band's career, lead guitarist Neal Schon has said: "I still think some of the stuff we did then was great. Some of it was self-indulgent, just jamming for ourselves, but I also think a lot of other things hurt us in the early days. It took a while for the politics to sort of shape up." Journey's album sales did not improve, so Columbia Records requested they change their musical style and add a lead singer who would share lead vocals with Rolie. In comes Steve Perry, right? Nope! The band hired Robert Fleischman from the Los Angeles-based band "Staggerwing" and began transitioning toward a more popular style, similar to that of Foreigner and Boston. Journey went on tour with Fleischman in 1977, opening for bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Fleischman and the rest of the band began writing and rehearsing new songs, including the hit "Wheel in the Sky." However, this new lineup would be short-lived because the band was introduced to that guy I mentioned earlier, Steve Perry, during a performance before approximately 100,000 at Soldier Field in Chicago. This chance encounter was significant because differences between Fleischman and manager Herbie Herbert resulted in Fleischman's departure from the band within the year. Steve made his live debut with the band at the Old Waldorf in October 1977, stepping into His Master's Studios and Cherokee Studios from October to December. Herbie hired Roy Thomas Baker as the new record's producer to add a layered sound approach similar to a band Baker had previously worked with, a little English band called "Queen." With a new lead singer and new producer in tow, the band's fourth studio album, Infinity, was released in January 1978, and peaked at number 21 on Billboard. "Lights", "Anytime," and "Wheel In The Sky" were the album's singles, and it has sold over 3 million copies. Journey then set out on tour supporting the album and headlined a full tour for the first time. According to Herbie, tensions were high between Aynsley Dunbar and the rest of the band due to the change in music direction from the jazz-fusion sound. Guitarist Neal Schon said: "We would talk about it, and he'd say he'd be willing to simplify things. But we'd get out there, and after five shows he wasn't doing that at all." Finally, Dunbar's resistance came to a head when he started playing erratically and talking crap about the other members, which later resulted in Herbie axing Dunbar after their headline tour. He was replaced by Berklee-trained drummer and Montrose member Steve Smith. Perry, Schon, Rolie, Smith, and Valory returned to the studio at Cherokee Studios in late 1978 to record their fifth album, Evolution, which was later released in March 1979, peaking at number 20 on Billboard and selling another 3 million copies. This album, which would be a milestone for the band, gave the band their first Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 single, "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'," peaking at number 16, and was all over the radio. Following the tour in support of Evolution, the band expanded its operation to include a lighting and trucking operation for future gigs. The tour had grossed more than $5 million, making the band as popular as it had been in five years. Journey later entered Automatt Studios to record their sixth studio album, Departure, released in March 1980, peaking at number 8 on Billboard. The first single, "Any Way You Want It," peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980. The album featured an edgier sound, thanks partly to the "live in studio" way the songs were recorded. They initially went into the studio with 19 tracks, eventually trimming down to 12. This record would also go on to sell over 3 million copies! Founding member and keyboardist Gregg Rolie left the band following the Departure tour to start a family and undertake various solo projects. It was the second time he had departed from a successful act in his career. Yep, he left Journey and Santana. Keyboardist Stevie "Keys" Roseman was then brought in to record the lone studio track, "The Party's Over (Hopelessly in Love)," on the band's live album "Captured." Rolie suggested pianist Jonathan Cain of The Babys as his permanent replacement so, with Cain's synthesizers replacing Rolie's organ, Cain had become the band's newest member. With Cain joining as the new keyboard player, the band entered Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California, in late 1980, releasing their seventh studio album, "Escape," in July 1981. Escape became their most successful album, charting at number one in the United States. In addition, the album had a ton of hit singles, including: "Who's Crying Now," "Still They Ride," "Open Arms," and the iconic "Don't Stop Believin'." In July of 2021, it was certified diamond, selling over 10 million copies!! Oh, and "Escape" had its own video game! Journey Escape was a video game developed and manufactured by Data Age for the Atari 2600 console and released in 1982. Want to hear the plot of the game? You're on the road with Journey, one of the world's hottest rock groups. A spectacular performance has just ended. Now it's up to you to guide each Journey Band Member past hordes of Love-Crazed Groupies, Sneaky Photographers, and Shifty-Eyed Promoters to the safety of the Journey Escape Vehicle in time to make the next concert. Your mighty manager and loyal roadies are there to help, but the escape is up to you! These other bands may have been successful, but not Atari 2600 successful. Journey began another lengthy yet successful tour on June 12, 1981, supported by opening acts Billy Squier, (My Kind of Lover) Greg Kihn Band, Point Blank, and Loverboy. They then opened for one and only The Rolling Stones on September 25 of the same year. MTV videotaped one of their two sold-out shows in Houston on November 6, 1981, in front of over 20,000 fans, later released on DVD, which for 1981 was HUGE. Following the success of the 1981 tour, the band's entire establishment as a corporation, and the formation of a fan club called "Journey Force," the band released "Only Solutions" and "1990s Theme" for the 1982 Disney film Tron. At this point, Journey was absolutely killing it, so they entered Fantasy Studios again in the middle of their 1982 tour to record their eighth studio album, Frontiers. Released in February 1983, "Frontiers" was the band's second-biggest selling album, selling over six million copies. Peaking at number 2 on the Billboard charts, it spawned the hit singles "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)," "Send Her My Love," "After the Fall," and of course, "Faithfully," and you can hear our version of Faithfully wherever you listen to new music and at the end of this episode. Journey began the tour supporting "Frontiers" in Japan and continued in North America alongside the Canadian Crooner, Bryan Adams, as the opening act. During the tour, NFL Films recorded a video documentary of their life on the road called "Frontiers and Beyond," shooting scenes at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with more than 80,000 fans in attendance. After the success of the Frontiers tour, the band decided to take some well-deserved time off. Steve and Neal both tried their hands at solo projects, and in 1984 Steve Perry, with the help of band manager Herbie, recorded and released his first solo album, Street Talk. Street Talk released Perry's biggest hit as a solo artist, "Oh Sherrie," written for his then-girlfriend Sherrie Swafford. The song hit #3 on the billboard hot 100 and #1 on Billboard's Rock chart, and the accompanying music video (also featuring Swafford) was a hit on MTV. Neal Schon toured briefly in 1984 with his supergroup HSAS, supporting their sole album, "Through the Fire, released that year on Geffen. Sidenote, what does "HSAS" stands for? Any guesses? Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve featured lead vocalist Sammy Hagar (Van Halen), lead guitarist Neal Schon, bassist Kenny Aaronson (The Yard birds), and drummer Michael Shrieve. (Santana). The group reportedly rehearsed for less than a month before playing in concert. Who are the Yardbirds? (For Your Love) Well, they were an English rock band formed in 1963 and launched the careers of a few notable guitarists like Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck Also, At age 20, drummer Michael Shrieve was the second youngest musician to perform at Woodstock while playing for Santana. His drum solo during "Soul Sacrifice" in the Woodstock film has been described as "electrifying." When asked by the press if Journey was finished after selling their properties at the end of 1984, guitarist Neal commented, "No way Journey's ending. We're all too committed to this band to ever let that happen. In fact, one of the reasons we decided to go off in separate directions for a while was to keep the band as strong as ever." After a productive phone call between Cain and Perry, the band returned to Fantasy Studios in late 1985 to record their ninth studio album "Raised on Radio," but with Steve Perry acting as the album's producer. Unfortunately, things were pretty tense within the band leading Herbie and Steve to fire both bass player Ross Valory and drummer Steve Smith for musical and professional differences. This booting took place only a few months into the recording sessions for the album, though Valory later admitted he left the band on his terms. Bassist and future American Idol judge Randy Jackson, bassist Bob Glaub, and established drummer Larrie Londin were brought in to continue the album's recordings. If you're not familiar with Larrie Londin, check out his credentials. He's done session work with everyone from the Supremes and Marvin Gaye to Elvis and Dolly Parton. He is an absolute legend in the business—an "icon" for sure. "Raised on Radio" was released in May 1986, peaking at number four on Billboard's album chart but underperforming compared to the band's previous two albums. It featured five singles: The top ten hit "Be Good to Yourself" along with "Suzanne," "Girl Can't Help It," "I'll Be Alright Without You," and "Why Can't This Night Go On Forever?". The Raised on Radio support tour began at Angels Camp, California, in August 1986. The band performed sold-out shows throughout the United States before concluding with two shows in Anchorage, Alaska, in early 1987, with selected dates supported by Honeymoon Suite (New Girl Now), The Outfield (Your Love), and Glass Tiger (Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone.) The tour featured Randy Jackson on bass and Mike Baird on drums, and was videotaped by MTV for a documentary that included interviews with the band members called Raised on Radio, just like the album. MTV apparently loved themselves some Journey! With tensions between Perry, the band, and manager Herbie at an all-time high following the tour's conclusion, Perry was unable or unwilling to remain actively involved and was tired of touring as it affected his health and his vocals. Steve said: "I called Jon and Neal together. We met in San Rafael, we sat on the edge of the marina, and I just told them, 'I can't do this anymore. I've got to get out for a while.' And they said: 'Well, what do you mean?' And I said: 'That's exactly what I mean, is what I'm saying. I just don't want to be in the band anymore. I want to get out; I want to stop.' And I think Jon said: 'Well, just take some time off, and we'll think,' and I said: 'OK, fine.' And I just sort of fell back into my life. I looked around and realized that my whole life had become everything I'd worked so hard to be, and when I came back to have a regular life, I had to go find one." He also stated: "The truth is, that I thought music had run its course in my heart," Perry explains in a statement on his website. "I'd had an amazing time in an amazing band, and then the chance to express myself as a solo artist too. But I had to be honest with myself, and in my heart, I knew I just wasn't feeling it anymore." "For a long time, I could barely even listen to music. My last show with Journey was February of 1987. Then one day, it hit me that I couldn't do this anymore. I felt as if I had to jump off this merry-go-round — this big beautiful mothership that we had all worked so hard together to build." Following the "Raised on Radio" tour, the band went into a hiatus. However, Columbia Records released the Greatest Hits compilation in November 1988, which became one of the biggest selling greatest hits albums, selling over 15 million copies and continuing to sell half a million to a million copies per year. The compilation spent 750 weeks on the Billboard album charts until 2008. To date, their greatest hits album has sold almost 21 million copies worldwide. Here's something else I wasn't aware of. While Steve Perry had retreated from the public eye, Schon and Cain spent the rest of 1987 collaborating with other profound artists. They worked with artists like Jimmy Barnes and Michael Bolton before teaming up with Cain's ex-Babys bandmates John Waite and Ricky Phillips. They, in turn, formed the supergroup Bad English (When I See You Smile, Price of Love) with drummer Deen Castronovo in 1988, releasing two albums in 1989 and 1991. Steve Smith, however, devoted his time to his jazz bands, Vital Information and Steps Ahead, and teamed up with former bassist Ross Valory and original Journey keyboardist Gregg Rolie. They formed the band "The Storm" with singer Kevin Chalfant and guitarist Josh Ramos, and guess who their manager was? Herbie, of course!! On November 3, 1991, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, and Steve Perry reunited to perform "Faithfully" and "Lights" at the Bill Graham tribute concert 'Laughter, Love & Music' at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California, following the concert promoter's death in an unfortunate helicopter accident. In October 1993, Schon, Rolie, Valory, Dunbar, Smith, and Cain reunited and performed at a private dinner for manager extraordinaire Herbie Herbert at Bimbo's in San Francisco, with Kevin Chalfant (Allen Parsons Project live singer) on lead vocals. After the breakup of Bad English in 1991, Neal Schon and Deen Castronovo formed the glam metal band Hardline (Takin Me Down) with brothers Johnny and Joey Gioeli, releasing only one studio album before his departure. Neal later joined Paul Rodgers (Bad Company vocalist) in 1993 for live performances, alongside Castronovo. In 1994, Steve Perry had released his second solo album, "For the Love of Strange Medicine," and toured North America in support of the album, though his voice had changed since the last time he had performed. Those high notes weren't as easy to hit anymore. Steve Perry ultimately decided to reunite with Journey under one condition. He demanded that there be a bowl of peanut M&Ms backstage at all times and that they HAD to be all brown with one, just one, green NON-peanut M&M on top. Yeah, that's not true. Steve's one condition was that Herbie Herbert would no longer be the band's manager. Instead, the band hired Irving Azoff, longtime Eagles manager, as the new manager for the band in October 1995. Steve Smith and Ross Valory reunited with the band and started writing material for their next album, with rehearsals beginning that same month. The band began recording their tenth studio album, "Trial by Fire" in early 1996 at The Site and Wildhorse Studio in Marin County and Ocean Way Recorders where they recorded under producer "The Caveman" Kevin Shirley (Mr. Big, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater.) This album was released in late October that year, peaking at number three on the Billboard album charts. The album's hit single "When You Love a Woman" reached number 12 on the Billboard charts and was nominated in 1997 for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. The album also produced three top 40 mainstream rock tracks, "Message of Love," reaching number 18, "Can't Tame the Lion," hitting number 33, and "If He Should Break Your Heart," reaching number 38. It sold roughly 1.5 million units. Plans for a support tour failed when Steve Perry, while hiking in Hawaii on a ten-day break in August 1996, discovered he had a degenerative bone condition and could not perform without hip replacement surgery. The accident resulted in the album's release date being delayed. Upon its release, "Trial By Fire" was considered the band's worst-selling album and failed to match the originality and playability of the band's previous work. Neal Schon later admitted that the album had too many ballads and fans just wanted to hear that sweet, sweet rock and roll saying: "Even on our last record, the Trial By Fire record, a lot of the rock stuff just got shelved and ended up being like twenty ballads, I don't know how many ballads." The band took another break following the album's dismal release to work on more solo projects, waiting for Perry to decide if he was able to or wanted to tour. Schon released his solo album Electric World in 1997, later creating Abraxas Pool with former Journey member Gregg Rolie, drummer Michael Shrieve and a few former Santana members. Jonathan Cain released his two solo albums, Body Language and For A Lifetime in 1997 and 1998 respectively. Following the reunion album's long-awaited release, Journey was becoming restless and tired of waiting for an answer from Steve Perry and touring. Following a phone call between Cain and Perry, Steve announced that he would again depart from Journey, releasing himself from the band's contracts and deciding to semi-retire from the music business. Steve Smith later quit the band, saying that Journey would not be the same without Perry and returning to his jazz career and his project "Vital Information." The band hired the familiar drummer Deen Castronovo, Schon's and Cain's Bad English bandmate, to replace Steve Smith. After auditioning several high-profile candidates, including Geoff Tate (Queensryche), Kevin Chalfant, and John West (Royal Hunt), Journey replaced Perry with Steve Augeri, formerly of Tyketto and Tall Stories. The band later recorded the song "Remember Me," featured on the soundtrack for the 1998 film Armageddon. Upon the song's release, the song showed fans that the band made the right decision in hiring Augeri. That soundtrack has sold over 5,392,500 copies. Following a rehearsal with Augeri and Castronovo, the band went to Japan to perform four gigs, where they had still held an enormous fanbase. When asked how he felt about touring again in over a decade, Neal Schon commented: "It's a little like we are reborn again." Next, Journey embarked on a tour in the United States titled "Vacation's Over" which began in October and concluded at the end of December in Reno. They continued the tour with another leg in 1999, starting in Minnesota in June and finishing in Michigan in September. From March to August 2000, the band entered Avatar Studios to record yet another studio album, "Arrival" with producer Kevin Shirley. The album was released in Japan later in the year, with a North American release in April 2001. The album had peaked at number 56 on the Billboard charts. However, the single "All the Way" failed to boost sales for the album. It was considered a disappointment with mixed opinions regarding the album, resulting in Sony dropping the band from the label. Upon the album's completion, the band set off on tour supporting the album in Latin America, the United States, and Europe. In response to the attacks in New York City on September 11, 2001, Journey joined various bands at a major fundraising event on October 20 and 21 at the Smirnoff Music Centre in Dallas, Texas, to raise money for the victims and families of the tragedy. The event raised around one million dollars. The Journey camp was quiet in 2002 as Neal Schon formed ANOTHER band, "Planet Us," with Castronovo, Sammy Hagar, and former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony until 2004, when they disbanded. Schon also co-wrote songs alongside the band Bad Company, while keyboardist Jonathan Cain released another solo album. Recording a few songs between 2001 and 2002, Journey released a four-track EP titled "Red 13" in November under their new label "Journey Music." The band chose the album cover design through a fan contest with the online cover designed by fan Kelly McDonald. However, the retail cover was only made available at the band's shows and was designed by Christopher Payne. Journey only performed one club gig in support of the EP but later began another tour of the United States from May to August 2003. They continued touring the following year with another summer tour titled "Summer Detour" which began in June and concluded in September 2004. In November of that year, Journey joined REO Speedwagon and Styx for a tour around the Caribbean aboard the Triumph cruise ship. Sounds miserable. I'm not too fond of boats. In 2005, the members of Journey were inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame alongside former members Steve Perry, Dunbar, George Tickner, Steve Smith, and Fleischmann. Rolie was the only member who did not appear at the ceremony. Surprised to see Perry joining them to accept the induction with the band, Valory commented that it was a pleasant surprise to see him. Following their addition to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the band began recording at the Record Plant in Sausalito, California, for their twelfth studio album, "Generations," which featured producer Kevin Elson who had collaborated with the band before. The album was released on August 29 in Europe, with a North American release following on October 4. The album peaked at number 170 on the Billboard charts. To promote the album and celebrate the band's 30th anniversary, the band embarked on a tour starting in Irvine, California, in June and concluding in Phoenix in October. Each concert on tour was three hours long with an intermission and featured many of their classic hits and included the new songs from the album. "Generations" sold less than 100,000 copies. In 2006, the band toured Europe and joined Def Leppard on a North American tour. During the tours however, there was talk that Augeri was not singing but instead using backing tracks to cover up his deteriorating vocals. Those allegations resulted in him getting attacked by the fans. Augeri had suffered from vocal attrition problems before the band began the tour with Def Leppard. In addition, Journey had been accused of using pre-recorded lead vocals before, an accusation that former manager Herbie Herbert insists was true. SHOCKER. Valory denied the allegations, stating that it was a myth, a lie, an all-out fabrication, and that Augeri's vocals did not give out! In a later press statement, the band announced that Augeri had to step down as Journey's lead singer and leave the tour to recover. Augeri performed his last show with Journey on July 4 in Raleigh. With the tour still happening and successful, the band quickly hired Jeff Scott Soto from Talisman as their lead vocalist for the tour. He performed as Journey's vocalist on July 7 in Bristow for the first time. Because of its success and popularity, The band later extended the tour to November. Soto was officially announced as the band's new vocalist in December 2006. If you're keeping track, that's five lead singers. Following tours of Europe and the United States in 2007, the band announced on June 12 that Scott Soto was no longer with them. In a statement, Neal Schon stated: "He did a tremendous job for us, and we wish him the best. We've just decided to go our separate ways, no pun intended. We're plotting our next move now." Cheeky. I love it. Following Soto's exit from the group, the band was without a lead vocalist again. So Neal Schon began searching YouTube for a new lead vocalist, with Jeremey Hunsicker of the Journey tribute band "Frontiers" auditioning and spending a week with the band writing material. Hunsicker claims to have been formally offered the position, but it fell through shortly following tension with Schon. However, one of the tracks co-written with Hunsicker, "Never Walk Away," later appeared on the Revelation album. Neal Schon later found Filipino singer Arnel Pineda of the cover band The Zoo, covering the song "Faithfully." (Our version is arguably better, just saying.) Schon was so impressed that he contacted Pineda to set up two days of auditions with him. The auditions went well, and they later named him the official lead vocalist of Journey on December 5, 2007. In 2007, the hit song "Don't Stop Believin'" gained coverage and sharp growth in popularity when it was used in The Sopranos television series final episode, prompting digital downloads of the song to skyrocket. But, unfortunately, the Soprano's finale also pissed a lot of people off. In November 2007, Journey entered the studio with Pineda to record the studio album "Revelation." The album was released on June 3, 2008. It debuted at number five on the Billboard charts, selling more than 196,000 units in its first two weeks and staying in the top 20 for six weeks. As a multi-disc set (2-CD), each unit within that set counts as one sale, which I didn't know. Journey also found success on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, where the single "After All These Years" spent over 23 weeks, peaking at number 9. "Revelation" has sold over 1 million copies. On February 21, 2008, Pineda performed for the first time with Journey in front of 20,000 fans in Chile. The band began the "Revelation" tour in the United Kingdom in June, continuing the tour into North America, Asia, Europe, and South America, concluding in October. Receipts from the 2008 tour made Journey one of the top-grossing concert tours of the year, bringing in over $35,000,000. On December 18, 2008, Revelation was certified platinum by RIAA. The band performed at the Super Bowl 43 pre-game show in Tampa, Florida, on February 1, 2009. The band continued their Revelation tour in May and concluded it in October 2009. They also performed in Manila in front of 30,000 fans, recorded for a live release, "Live in Manila." In 2009, "Don't Stop Believin'" became the top-selling song on iTunes among those released before 2000, with over 500,000 downloads. Journey then entered Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California, in 2010 with Pineda to record their next studio album, "Eclipse." The album was released on May 24, 2011, and debuted at number 13 on the Billboard 200 charts with the singles "City of Hope" and "Human Feel." Unfortunately, "Eclipse" could not match the success of Revelation, barely selling 100,000 copies—an 1/8th of the previous album's sales. They later toured the United Kingdom in June 2011 with Foreigner and Styx. Journey was awarded the "Legend of Live Award" at the Billboard Touring Awards in October. The band later released Greatest Hits 2 in November of 2011. In June 2015, drummer Deen Castronovo was arrested following a domestic altercation. Journey fired him in August and was replaced by Omar Hakim on the band's 2015 tour. He was sentenced to four years probation after pleading guilty to domestic violence charges. In 2016, Steve Smith again returned as Journey's drummer, reuniting all of the Escape-Frontiers-Trial by Fire lineup members except lead singer Steve Perry. In 2018, during the North American tour with Def Leppard, Journey topped the Billboard Hot Tours List for grossing more than $30 million over 17 shows. On March 3, 2020, Schon and Cain announced that they had fired Smith and Valory and were suing them for an alleged "attempted corporate coup d'état," seeking damages over $10 million. The lawsuit alleged Smith and Valory tried to "assume control of Nightmare Productions because they incorrectly believe that Nightmare Productions controls the Journey name and Mark" to "hold the Journey name hostage and set themselves up with a guaranteed income stream after they stop performing." Valory and Smith contested the firings with the support of former manager Herbie Herbert and former lead singer Steve Perry. Court filings revealed that Steve Perry had been paid as a band member for years despite not performing. In an open letter dated that same day, Schon and Cain stated Smith and Valory "are no longer members of Journey; and that Schon and Cain have lost confidence in both of them and are not willing to perform with them again." Valory counter-sued Schon and Cain for their partnership's claim of owning the Journey trademark and service mark. In June 2020, Neal Schon announced via his social media page that a new album with Jackson and Walden was "starting to take shape." The following month, he confirmed the album's progress and that they would release new music in early 2021. In January 2021, he announced that the album's first single would be released later that year, with the possibility of a worldwide tour to follow. In April 2021, the band reached an "amicable settlement" with former members Valory and Smith, confirming they were no longer a part of Journey. The single "The Way We Used to Be" was released on June 24, 2021. In July 2021, Neal Schon confirmed that Deen Castronovo, had rejoined as a second drummer. On February 16, 2022, the band announced the title and track listing of their upcoming fifteenth studio album "Freedom," which is set to be released on July 8, 2022. On March 1, 2022, Cain confirmed that neither Walden nor Randy Jackson remained in the lineup, with Walden's dipping out following a minor heart attack following a live show in Pennsylvania. Nevertheless, they both still played on Freedom, as they had completed their parts on the album before departing. The second single, "You Got the Best of Me," was released on April 26, 2022. The third single, "Let It Rain," was released just recently, on May 17, 2022. So be on the lookout for Journey's new album! According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Journey has sold 48 million albums in the U.S., making them the 25th best-selling band. In addition, their worldwide sales have reached over 80 million records globally, making them one of the world's best-selling bands of all time.

We talk to Danny Vaughn - Singer songwriter and lead vocalist for the hard rock band Tyketto. Danny takes us right back to his early days growing up in New York City surrounded by all the amazing characters and cultures of the area and his very first steps into singing - first in the school choir and eventually becoming one of the areas most in demand rock vocalists. He would soon catch the attention of former members of UFO who would recruit him as the singer of the band Waysted which would give Danny his first tastes of success and huge crowds. We also talk about his audition with an upcoming New Jersey band in the late 80s called Skid Row and learn how a chance meeting with drummer Michael Clayton would lead to the formation of Tyketto and the recording of their classic debut album 'Don't Come Easy'.
