Journey (band)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
/wiki/Journey (band)creator
  • Awesome Music
  • Broken Base: See Internet Backdraft below.
  • Ear Worm: "Just a small town girl..."
  • Ending Fatigue: "Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'". The song repeats the same "Na na na" chorus over. And over. And OVER. Good god, END it already.
  • Epic Riff: the keyboard riffs for "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Separate Ways".
  • Face of the Band: Steve Perry who was hired because the record company felt that Greg Rolie wasn't distinctive enough and the band needed a clear front-man. Even after Perry left the band, he is still the member who is most associated with the band. To some extent, Journey's new lead singer Arnel Pineda has become this, as well, especially for Journey's non-US fans.
  • Fan Dumb: Steve Perry's fans. Dear GOD, Steve Perry's fans. Still don't believe it? Check YouTube for comments on any Journey vid featuring Arnel Pineda, who's Filipino, to see abhorrent racist comments from Perry's fans.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The band is currently far more popular in Europe than in the US, to the point that their 2011 tour only has 3 US dates, with all the rest being in Europe.
  • Internet Backdraft: Go ahead. Mention Steve Augeri on any Steve Perry fan-group or YouTube vid.
    • Or Arnel Pineda.
      • ...or the Filipinos being rabid and spamming "Proud to be Pinoy (slang for Filipino)" comments.
  • Misattributed Song: Some people confuse this band with Foreigner and misattribute songs like "Jukebox Hero" and "I Want to Know What Love Is" to this band.
  • The Woobie: Steve Perry. Behind The Music is the best example of it, and his Fan Dumb responds accordingly.
  • Wangst: Steve Perry. See The Woobie above for the best example; the infamous line from Behind The Music about "I never felt part of the band" clinched this trope.
