Well, this is a nice surprise!
After speculation of whether or not he would even be in appearance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, former lead singer of Journey, Steve Perry, will in fact perform with his former band at their induction ceremony.
Journey’s set is to be “Separate Ways”, “Lights” and of course, “Don’t Stop Believin’”, though it is unknown as to whether Perry will be singing one, two or all three of those songs.
This will be Perry’s first performance with Journey since 1991.

Well, there is one mystery answered for the upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony.
Steve Perry, the former lead singer of Journey will be on hand to accept the induction, though according to Jonathan Cain, the keyboardist, it is was implied that he would not be performing with the group. This was from an interview with the Dayton Daily News:
"As far as we know he's just going to accept the award and then skedaddle. That's all I know, unless something changes. Arnel is going to represent very well, like he always does."
Arnel, is Arnel Pineda, who was plucked from obscurity to become the band’s lead singer, a role he has had for the past ten years. Pineda himself has stated that he is looking forward to meeting Perry, whom he has never met. Notably, Pineda is not amongst the band members who are being inducted.
The odds are that we haven’t finished reporting on the upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony!

The RRHOF Class of 2017 has been announced

This is kind of our Christmas morning.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced their 2017 Class, and let’s get right to it.
Pearl Jam, enters on their first year of eligibility and did this surprise anyone at all? When you think of what the RRHOF is looking for in an inductee they met every criteria and the discussion to enter the Cleveland probably didn’t even exist. They didn’t have to debate it all.
Tupac also joins as a first ballot inductee. No word yet as to whether his hologram will be making an appearance at the ceremony, but like Pearl Jam this was largely expected.
Journey, who won the fan vote, also got in on their first nomination, though they have been long eligible. This is the fourth year in a row where the winner of the fan vote gained entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Progressive Rock finally saw Yes get in after twenty plus years of eligibility. Arguably, this was of the biggest bands of their genre who had yet to get in.
The Electric Light Orchestra will also be inducted. Jeff Lynne has long been one of the most respected musicians in the industry and for what it is worth, now all of the Wilburys are Hall of Famers.
The surprise inductee was Joan Baez, who also got in on her first nomination, albeit after thirty-four years of eligibility. Baez was a folk icon, and she is the lone female to enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.
Perhaps the biggest relief (in our eyes) is that Chic’s Nile Rodgers will be entering the Hall as the recipient of the Award for Musical Excellence. Chic had been nominated annually without getting in, and this is likely going to put an end to that debacle.
Those not selected were Depeche Mode, Janet Jackson, Bad Brains, Jane’s Addiction, The Cars, Chic, The J. Geils Band, Kraftwerk, MC5, Steppenwolf, The Zombies, Joe Tex and Chaka Khan.
We will have a deeper look at this later in the week and we will also begin work on reworking our Notinhalloffame.com Rock and Roll list in late January.

Arnel Pineda snubbed? Not Really.

Is this really a controversy?
Those of you following the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year know that for the first time, Journey was nominated for the Hall. Going against past tradition, the Cleveland bases institution has announced which members of nominated bands would receive induction. Current Journey singer, Arnel Pineda is not listed on the ballot, which has made keyboardist, Jonathan Cain a little upset.
“There is no Journey without Arnel right now. He certainly has earned his stripes. He's been with us longer than any lead singer has consecutively stayed in the band. He's given us 10 years straight, not running off or doing this, doing that, just being The Guy. So that's worth something,"
While Pineda has been with them a long time and unquestionably has a voice that can match original singer, Steve Perry, it was Perry who originally sang and recorded the hits…which is what they still play predominantly today.
At present, Journey is doing very well with the fan vote, often a precursor for future induction. Should that happen could we see a temporary reunion with Perry?
Could be!

Current Rock and Roll Inductees
How can a band that has not had a new hit in nearly twenty years and reviled by so many still be one of the most downloaded artists today? Despite the criticism that Journey did receive, of the “Arena Rock” bands, it can be argued that only the Steve Perry group has the ability to re-release a song and have it sound like it was produced recently.
