Steve Perry was super gracious as he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with his former band, Journey. Steve sang the band's praises in a speech that was devoid of bitterness.  It was all love at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn Friday night, as the former front man called out guitarist and songwriter Neal Schon for bringing him on board back in the day. Interesting .. Steve also had high praise for his replacement,...

Journey fans have stopped believing in a reunion performance.

The American rock band was joined by former lead singer Steve Perry at Friday evening’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Perry, 68, was there with former bandmates Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, Steve Smith and Ross Valory, along with current lead singer Arnel Pineda, who was not included in the band’s honor.

Train’s Pat Monahan inducted them with kind words. “Tonight I’m here to live out a life-long dream, to induct the heart of San Francisco music into the rock hall,...

Since Journey was announced as one of the 2017 inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, rumors have swirled about whether vocalist Steve Perry ― who last performed with the band in 1991 ― would sing with the group at the induction ceremony.

Now, hours before the event takes place at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, those rumors have gained new steam. A TMZ report Friday afternoon claimed Perry “will sing with the band at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony.”

But a rep for the band has countered those claims, telling EW, “We...

11:33 Am Pst -- We have just been contacted by reps for Journey, who say the band knows nothing about Perry performing and Perry's own reps know nothing about it as well. Several sources who work with Friday night's production say they have been told Perry will perform, but top officials at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame say they have no knowledge of it. The 3 songs have already been blocked for the show. Journey's rep Larry Solters tells TMZ,...

Steve Perry hasn't performed with Journey since 1991 but he'll be greeted with open arms Friday night as the band is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Members of Journey have confirmed Perry will indeed be onstage at the induction ceremony in Brooklyn, but were mum on whether he'd sing with the group.  Perry ditched the band in 1987 on the coattails of a double platinum album ... they were arguably at their peak.

20th Century Fox has released another great poster for Alien: Covenant in advance of a brand new trailer debuting tomorrow, March 1st.

This latest one-sheet is very reminiscent of the one released for director Ridley Scott’s original 1979 masterpiece.

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with Alien: Covenant, a new chapter in his groundbreaking Alien franchise.

We fans can’t wait for the upcoming film! So many questions left unanswered from the 2012 film Prometheus. Who were the Engineers, where did Noomi Rapace (Elizabeth Shaw) and Michael Fassbender (David) rocket off to, why were the Xenomorphs originally created?

With a little help from Journey's Steve Perry, Keith Urban and his musical road crew - all 65 strong - posted a video thanking fans for support as his successful "Raise 'Em Up" summer tour came to a close. Shot behind the scenes, from tour bus bunks to arena stages, the funny footage features everyone, including supporting acts Jerrod Niemann and Brett Eldredge offering up their own bit of karaoke as they lip sync to Journey's 1983 love anthem, "Faithfully." "The Raise 'Em Up Tour may have come to a close, but the band and crew are forever yours, faithfully," Urban's team captioned the clip.

Steve Perry, former Journey frontman, performed onstage for the first time in almost 20 years on Saturday night.

Steve Perry Performs With The Eels

Perry surprised fans when he appeared unannounced at the Eels concert at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minn. Perry took over from the Eels during their second encore and performed two Journey classics, “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’” and “Open Arms,” as well as the Eels’ song “It’s a Motherf—ker.”

“The interesting thing about this guy, is he hasn’t sung his songs for some 20, 25 years… He walked away from it. Because it didn’t feel right, you have to respect that.… And for some reason only known to him, he feels like tonight in St. Paul, Minnesota, it feels right. Ladies and gentlemen, Steve Perry,” said Eels frontman Mark Everett in his introduction.

This was Perry’s first time performing in front of a crowd...

Kimye wasn't the only one who had a weekend to remember… Former Journey frontman Steve Perry made history over Memorial Day weekend when he performed live for the first time in almost 20 years. The surprise appearance occurred during an Eels concert in St. Paul on Sunday evening just before the second encore. Mark Everett, the singer and main man of Eels, announced that Perry would be joining him onstage for an impromptu performance and mentioned just how long it had been since Perry had sung live for a crowd. "The interesting thing about this guy is that he hasn't sung his songs for twenty something years," Everett said. "He walked away from it because it didn't feel...

Former Journey frontman Steve Perry took the stage for the first time since 1995 on Sunday night when he sang with indie rock band Eels during a concert in St. Paul, Minnesota. The 65-year-old elusive rock star surprised the audience at the Fitgerzald Theater during Eels second encore, and sang the band's 2000 cult hit “It's a Motherf—er.” Also read: The Long Journey to Making ‘Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey’ “I love that song. When I first heard it, someday I wanted to sing it. Tonight was the first time I ever sang it,” Perry said during the performance (above). “I don't know why.

Although it may sometimes feel like you can't escape the songs of Journey (and, as our Jody Rosen argues in his essay "In Defense of Schlock Music: Why Journey, Billy Joel, and Lionel Richie Are Better Than You Think," there's nothing wrong with that), the band's elusive lead singer, Steve Perry, hasn't sung live in 19 years ... until this weekend. He appeared onstage during the second encore of an Eels show in St. Paul, Minnesota — belting Journey’s “Open Arms” and “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’.” Too bad the band already replaced him with a the lead singer of a Journey cover band that they found on YouTube in 2007. Yes, really. Perry didn't sing "Don't Stop Believin'." No, you cannot sing it in his stead.

"American Idol" is a journey and even if we haven't always been overjoyed with this season's journey, I feel like we're moving toward the correct destination. Jena Irene, Caleb Johnson and Alex Preston have been, for me at least, the clear Top 3 for nearly two months. I honestly don't care what happens from here, because while I like Alex, Jena and Caleb, I don't have a passionate singular attachment to any one of them.  So... May the best singer win! Click though and follow along for what I assume will be three performances apiece tonight... 8:02 p.m. Et. Oh right. This is the 500th episode of "American Idol." So we're doing a full montage of "American Idol" through the years. We even got a brief momentary reminder that Ellen DeGeneres was an "American Idol" judge.

He believed in her artistry and allowed her to take the risk. And in doing so, she set the pace Monday, accompanying herself on the piano and using the ballad to look and sound like a full-blown star.

Country singer Kristen Merlin was made fully aware Monday night that The Voice competition is now live. Performing as one of season 6's Top 12 finalists, Merlin's mic dropped out for more than a few seconds, leaving her to continue - and exhibit some admirable "show must go on" professionalism - after she had only delivered a little more than half of a touching and intimate version of Sugarland's hit "Stay." The judges were on their feet and Adam Levine was effusive after Merlin jerked out her ear monitor, took hold of a new mic from a stage manager and continued like nothing went wrong.

American Idol’s top eight returned again this week after judges Harry Connick Jr., Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban used the season’s one and only save on Sam Woolf. This week, the finalists were required to pick a song from the 80s.

Jena Irene made a bold choice in reimagining Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock N Roll.” Irene started off the classic song sitting down at the piano, allowing the song to build up as she belted out the second half. The judges reactions were mixed, with Connick critiquing the arrangement and Lopez praising the young singer for another original performance.

Country boy Dexter Roberts chose to sing Georgia Satellites’ “Keep Your Hands to Yourself.” Mentor David Cook was on Roberts to enunciate better – and not to let the other guitarist on the stage steal the spotlight from him. Overall, the judges felt like Roberts' performance was passable,...

Legendary Journey frontman Steve Perry has a voice doppelgänger in Arnel Pineda of the Philippines. Pineda's unlikely rise to fame and fortune is deftly told in the PBS Independent Lens' film "Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey" coming September 30. The tale and the documentary are equally remarkable. Pineda's rise from obscurity to world wide fame played at several film festivals last year, and now will debut Sept. 30 (check your local PBS listings). Producer and film director Ramona Diaz was at the recent Television Critics' Association summer press tour and spoke about Arnel's unlikely journey. In 2007, a friend of singer Arnel Pineda began uploading YouTube videos of him covering classic Journey and other songs. Halfway around the world,...

Arnel Pineda (ctr.) fronts the band in Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey

The 2012 music-filled documentary film Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey follows the real life rock-n-roll fairy tale story of Filipino singer Arnel Pineda, who was plucked from YouTube to become the lead singer and front man for the iconic American rock band, Journey, replacing the legendary Steve Perry and leading the band on its most extensive world tour in years.

In 2006, Journey guitarist Neal Schon found Journey’s singer Arnel Pineda when he discovered a YouTube video of Pineda singing with a Filipino cover band called the Zoo. Pineda’s tone, power, and ability to sing a wide variety of material—not to mention his uncanny vocal similarity to Perry—impressed Schon so much that he soon contacted Pineda, who initially thought it was a prank and didn...

This is a scientific fact: The first trailer for "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" arrived online late Tuesday night, putting the Channel 4 News Team back in action with help from Journey, Kristen Wiig and Baxter. "This just feels right," Paul Rudd's Brian Fantana says in the "Anchorman 2" trailer. "The news team is back."

Indeed they are, but it's a different time. Like the 1980s. Following what looks like a spell of bad choices on the level of milk, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) and his pals (Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner) are asked to come back to the world of broadcasting for a brand-new, 24-hour news channel. They accept ("I'm going to do the thing that God put Ron Burgundy on this Earth to do: have salon-quality hair and read the news") and ... that's about all you'll get from this trailer beyond lots of lolz and the dulcet...

No need to stop believin' that Steve Perry will be just fine. The former Journey frontman has revealed that he recently underwent surgery for melanoma.

-- Anthrax "Anthems" (Mri/Megaforce)

There's a revelation on Anthrax's "Anthems" Ep: Rush's music is annoying, no matter who plays it.

The speed metal kings, driven by drummer Charlie Benante's infatuation with early Neil Peart, chose Rush's "Anthem" as the inspiration for their eight-track Ep in which they cover classic 1970s rock bands that influenced them. Suffice it to say the jarring stop-and-start timing and riffing of a Rush song doesn't work with the heaviest of heavy metal bands, either.

But the rest of this all-too-short disc is like hard-rock comfort food, hewing closely to the originals, with some special Anthrax sauce on the side. Best is a cover of Cheap Trick's "Big Eyes," which blends the band's melody with Anthrax's harder edge.

"Smokin'" is a cover of the classic Boston ode to inhalables, and "Jailbreak" puts a fine point on the Thin Lizzy classic.

Singer Joey Belladonna shows his vocal versatility here.

Arnel Pineda’s life of poverty and struggle was forever turned upside down after being discovered on Youtube by they iconic rock band Journey. Don’T Stop Believin’ : Everyman’S Journey narrates through Pineda’s personal tale of struggle, and his transformation into the lead singer of a world renowned band.

Arnel Pineda might be the fourth leading man for the classic rock band Journey, but he certainly has an interesting tale that makes him stand out from the pack. The band was faced with the challenge of finding a new front man to replace iconic vocalist Steve Perry, who left the band for both personal and health reasons in 1998. Steve Augeri took the reigns from 1998 until 2006, when the band dropped him due to chronic throat problems. Jeff Scott Soto filled in for the remainder of the tour, but they band still needed to find a permanent singer.

Plot: What happens when an Seventies/Eighties rock band is looking for a new lead singer? For the hit-makers Journey once fronted by Steve Perry, the answer was found on YouTube. It was then that a young man from the Philippines was plucked from obscurity and found himself on tour with the popular retro act. Review: As ridiculously difficult as it may be to make it in the music business, it seems we are hearing a whole lot about overnight sensations or YouTube .celebrities.. Don.T Stop...

If you told Steve Perry in 1982 that the Journey song "Faithfully" would one day be parodied as an ode to Keyboard Cat, Ermahgerd and Feminist Ryan Gosling, he'd have smacked you in the mouth for speaking such nonsense.

But in 2013, it's a reality. Humordy made this spot-on anthem to the tune of "Faithfully" called, fittingly, "Favorite Memes," that tells the story of how far into the internet rabbit hole he would go. Check it out.

Johnny Cash: Blood, Sweat and Tears (Columbia)

Some of Cash's '60s concept albums were burdened with much too talking between tracks; here the tribute to the American working man gets to mostly stand alone on its musical merits, and shines. Notably, it incluces the top version of the traditional "John Henry"” about the most legendarily heroic working man ever, and the version of "Casey Jones" here is classic as well. Politically and psychologically, Cash was the perfect man for this job.

1968

Byrds: Notorious Byrd Brothers (Columbia)

Sometimes transitional albums, confusing listeners expecting a group's earlier style, are underrated. Not so with this classic. It's true that it didn't sell as well as earlier Byrds LPs, nor did the single from the album chart very high, but for decades Notorious Byrd Brothers has been widely revered, and not just by fans; some critics have even anointed it as the band's best album.
