Ken Tamplin claims he was offered Journey job, critiques other Journey singers

[FreddyFender]

"a five year touring contract"

a WHAT?

[FreddyFender]

The funny thing about Tamplin is that he can *sing* on a technical level and he seems like a solid teacher/coach. I saw a video of him on Instagram teaching the runs from Tennessee Whiskey - it was a good lesson and he sang it with ease.

Being a great teacher is something to be proud of. I have no clue what Brent Manning did as a singer/artist, but I know he taught a shitload of superstars how to sing. Isn't that more than enough?

Don't know about all that, but his shirt collection seems to rival Mattley's. In a ghayer way.

I would never wear lame shirts like Ken’s

Only Ken can pull off that “style.”

I heard that he was offered a spot in many popular bands, including Motley when Vince left.

[El Vampiro Blanco]

I heard he is Sammy Hagars cousin!
Ken told me like every time I saw a snippet of him on YouTube!

Lame or lamé?

In Ken's case, both.

I find it hard to believe he was offered 5 year Tall Stories touring contract . It’s amazing his kid actually has less talent than he does in life

[keyofgee]

he speaks volumes about himself. He has LSD and no reason to. He was annoying even back in his xtian days with the band named after him ...

[Silentbutdeadly]

From the few videos I have seen it does seem like he can sing, but can you imagine him on the video screens of your favorite venue doing that weird thing he does with his tongue for an entire 2 hour set?!?

I'm sorry, I tried. I really did. That video is too obnoxious for me.

There's been at least 2-3 threads on here about all of this, from my recollection I don't remember any kind of independent confirmation or denial of his claims, just speculation.

2 minutes of the OP’s video and it’s easy to see Ken and his son are GRIFTERS. These 2 know enough that Journey’s camp doesn’t give a shit about such senseless claims, so why combat something that didn’t happen. Hundreds of men out there claiming to have had some sort of sniff at singing or performing in Journey. Funny how Ken has no receipts of any offer.

Before the audition!

[Z28]

that's a lie, simple and clear, total lie
