Higher Place was one of the best Journey songs ever. I wish they would have cut more tunes like that, but Arrival was way too thick on the sappy ballad shit. And Generations just sucked. At least in the Perry years, for the most part, they were able to find the right balance between rockers and ballads.

This guy definitely has the pipes. Hopefully the real Journey sounds better than his cover band
He definitely doesn't look 40 though

He definitely doesn't look 40 though JSS was formally announced as Journey's lead singer. He found out that he was let go via their website...they hadn't talked since the announcement that took place after the last Journey tour.

OK, where the hell is Steve Perry? And what is he doing where he can't work with these guys a few months a year? I'm guessing he hates them and vice versa (?)

Not a big Journey fan but I heard a couple of Soto sung Journey tunes and thought he did well. I remember Soto from Malmsteen's Marching Out which was my favorite for quite a while after it first came out.
This new guy sounds pretty good though. Good luck to him. Maybe he'll hear that they fired him over a podcast or something.

Steve Perry has as much chance of returning as do Led Zep and The Eagles have at reuniting ....
Seriously ... I think this new guy has some seriously good pipes.

I remember when my wife and I saw Journey and Def Leppard at Mohegan Sun two (?) years ago, Dean Castronovo even sang lead on at least one of the songs and did a pretty damn good job.

After watching clips of Jeff Scott Soto on YouTube I think they made a mistake. That guy sounded great!
This guy is just a Perry clone with no personality of his own.

Growing up in the 80s I was a huge Journey fan. Freakin' huge. But I thought it was cheesy that they decided to get a sound-a-like when they replaced Perry. Have some balls and go another way. It worked for Van Halen. Sammy Haggar was a complete change of pace over David Lee Roth in my mind. That worked out well.
Now they choose a guy in a cover band? Please.
