Members rovito Posted June 16, 2006 Members Share Posted June 16, 2006 I love his playing but alot of it seems fairly simple to play. I still can't play Don't stop Believing without screwing it up so i'm not a great judge. What do you guys think? If any, what cheesy songs do you guys have trouble with?

Members Analog Kid Posted June 16, 2006 Members Share Posted June 16, 2006 I think he's a pretty good player from a pretty great band. Simple or complicated has little to do with it, i think, in this pop/rock context. Who cares if a 4th grader could play the synth riff to Seperate Ways, it still rocks. Journey was certainly one of the hugest bands around in their hayday, and they earned that.Great singer too... i kind of miss that huge yet melodic rock sound.

Members wheresgrant3 Posted June 16, 2006 Members Share Posted June 16, 2006 AK... you broke the seal... I agree... a decent songwriter, a good keyboardist. Not flashy by any means, but a solid contributor! I grew up listening to Journey and it was a major early influence on my interest on synths (especially Frontiers). Genuis... no? Worthy of respect yes! He didn't really innovate... but he certainly complimented some great music of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AJP Posted June 16, 2006 Members Share Posted June 16, 2006 I agree with AK and grant. Either way, you gotta love a Jupiter-8 suspended from the side of a warehouse for playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
