Journey Guitarist Accuses Averaged Sevenfold Of Sabotage Of Their Appearance At Rock In Rio 2024
JAKARTA - Journey's performance in Rock in Rio 2024 has received a lot of criticism on social media, especially to Arnel Pineda, the vocalist. Neal Schon, guitarist of Journey, claims there was sabotage from the band that became the headliner, Averaged Sevenfold.
Journey has received various criticisms in cyberspace for its poor sound system. Feeling annoyed that Arnel continues to be stabbed, Arnel challenges out of the band if there are 1 million fans who want him to leave.
Neal Schon also felt annoyed with the condition. He also commented on Facebook, trying to defend the vocalist. Schon accused the technical problem of happening because of behind-the-scenes politics.
"Recently we know that our performances are severely limited due to the Averaged Sevenfold. This means that voices that come out of loudspeakers to the audience are lacking. It's really a disgusting step," said Noel Schon as quoted by Loudwire, September 24.

Furthermore, Schon explained that the audience in the area around the stage seemed to enjoy it because the sound was still clear. While those who are far from the stage cannot hear to the maximum.
When asked what was the reason the Average Sevenfold sabotaged Journey, Neal Schon said it was due to political factors. Their output is limited so that A7X as the headliner gets the best spotlight at the festival. However, the one-sided claim has not yet been responded to by the Avenged Sevenfold representative.
