We, the undersigned, wish to convey the following message to one of the Greatest Rock Bands of All-Time, Journey.
30 years ago, one of the true great bands in Rock & Roll History was born. The year was 1973 and the band's name is Journey.
Throughout the years and through several incarnations, Journey's perseverance and hard work took them to the pinnacle of the Rock World.
Known for their high energy shows and top of the line musicianship and lyrics that spoke to everyone's hearts, their appeal spread over the Globe.
Classic songs such as 'Anyway You Want It', 'Don't Stop Believin', 'Open Arms', 'Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin', 'Separate Ways', 'Faithfully', 'Wheel In The Sky', 'Be Good To Yourself', 'Lights' and many more, ruled the airwaves, from 1978 - 1988. Noone was bigger in the Rock World than this band and the amazingly talented musicians that comprised the band.
Even after an almost 10 year hiatus, Journey returned in 1996 with another Top Selling album, "Trial By Fire" and a Grammy Nominated single, 'When You Love A Woman'. Unfortunately, popular Lead Vocalist Steve Perry would develop a painful Hip ailment that would once again cause him to be unable to go on with the band. So, in 1998, the band made the painful decision to go on with a new lineup which consists of core members Neal Schon, Ross Valory and Jonathan Cain, as well as newcomers Steve Augeri on vocals and Deen Castronovo on drums.
Since 1998, the band has been touring constantly to enthusiastic crowds and has released a full length CD, "Arrival", a Concert DVD, "2001" and a 4 song EP, "Red 13", which feature some of the best music they've ever made. However, due to lack of Promotion, the advent of File Sharing Programs such as Napster, on the Internet and the changing musical climate, this great music has yet to have been heard by the masses. Only Journey's most hardcore fans realize just how great this new music really is.
Unfortunately, this has caused Journey to stick to the more tried and true Classics, in Concert, instead of previewing more newer material. We, Journey's most loyal fans, believe this is a travesty and that if the band were somehow able to consistently add a few more new songs to their setlists, more of the casual fanbase would be just as impressed as we are with the quality of these songs.
The band has already proven, after almost 6 years into this amazing new lineup, that they have the heart, drive and drawing power to be successful, even in a new musical climate. We want to see the band succeed and we believe that the band has what it takes to not only keep alive the spirit of the great Classics of the past, but to continue introducing new music to the buying Public.
To sum it all up, we the undersigned, wish to convey to Journey our undying loyalty and support and especially that we want them to take a chance with introducing more new material into their shows. We believe that once their fans begin hearing more of this great new music, on a regular basis, that they will conclude just as we have, that Journey is a band for the ages and that it's new music is just as viable as anything they've done in the past.
Thanks for everything, guys

- I just want to let Steve, Neal, Jonathan, Ross and Deen know that we support you in everything you do, we thank you for continuing the Journey when it might have been easier to go on and do other things and to express to you our desire to see you continue to be successful for as long as you all decide to continue this wonderous Journey. I would like to express to you that I believe there are more than a few songs in Journey's new library, since 1998, that could be introduced to fans at Journey shows and be very successful. I would love to see some of these great new Classics added to the sets. Thanks to you all for 30 years of the absolute greatest and most timeless Rock Classics.

- I wholeheartedly agree with this petition. Journey's new music is among their best work ever. It is a sad and disappointing situation in that it has been kept in the closet and, essentially, ignored, for whatever reason. It deserves better!

- I love ALL their music. When I saw them in '98, they stated that they were forging ahead with new material. Last year, however, they did NONE of their new material from Red 13, and I was looking forward to it. One classic that I would love them to do, though, is Mother, Father.
