but but but...Steve Perry wasn't an original member. The original singer was Greg Rolle. (You can hear them both sing on the Infinity and Evolution albums, and the song "Just the Same Way" is an awesome example of how well their completely different voices meshed). Replacing the original guitarist, Neil Schon, would be a HUGE change for this band as Mr. Schon is one of the best guitarists, ever. I believe he is the last founding member of the band. Steve Smith (drummer) and Jonathon Cain (keyboards) who were in Journey during the heyday 80s years are both gone. Rolle left a while before Escape.

Sorry to be pedantic, lol!. I was one of the worlds biggest Journey fans in my youth. The amount I know about Rolle, Perry, Cain, Schon and Smith is reflective of my massive tween/teen fan girl obsession with them. I actually won an 8th grade talent show with a few other friends because we did a pantomime to Anyway You Want It. I was the drummer. I can still do every drumming move to that song (one of our school's drummers sat me down and taught me the moves so I looked legit).

Journey Forevah!!!

LOL
I fell asleep at a Journey concert

Prolific is having some hiccups today. Took a few tries and had to manually input a couple of completion codes just now.

Yeah, me too. Still, Prolific has been a big help over the past few weeks. If any new people haven't joined, it's definitely recommended.

Servers seem to be running really slow over there.

Probably from the flood of bored Turkers checking Prolific constantly.

Guys, I think we (turkers) are all unwittingly executing a DDoS attack on Prolific, because Mturk is dead and we are desperate.

 

[ALinAL]

Now I've got this song in my head.

 

[tricker]

Don't forget that Journey had a couple of radio hits after Perry left. 'Remember Me' from the Armageddon soundtrack in '98 and 'Higher Place' in 2001. That was with Steve Augeri on vocals who was fired in 2005.

Oh, I'd like to forget, lol. Didn't love much of their stuff after Captured.

Except for that Armageddon song. That was pretty good. After I graduated high school I didn't follow them as much (I graduated in '86. In '98 I was *finally* finishing my senior year of college and graduating so I didn't pay attention to much except school, lol).

Except for that hit, today on Mturk has been like this. It looks good on the wind up, but fails to deliver.

Is the interview for the village idiot position a tough one?

IMO, the only person who could fill Freddie's Shoes in Queen would be Lady Gaga. I would love to see her tour with them.

You can call that pitch "the Maybe".

Hi all!

Question about the Siddharth Suri game part 2 HIT... did anyone else get the same games they did in part 1? Just want to make sure I'm not going to get rejected for doing the same game over again...

 

[neeb2k3]

No point in reading instructions for Siddharth hit cos it will fill up fast if you do.

I'm trying to get on some of this type shit.

 

[katarina]

Of course I forgot to put Survey Comet hit on panda...I really needed to do that today, money is super tight atm.

 

[ALinAL]

And Survey Comet is here. Does anyone know for sure that week 16 is the end? It says it's a four month project, so technically it could go another week. I don't remember the start date and don't know if they've communicated anything more substantial.
