Steve Perry working on new Album

Actually it is the light hitting the white areas on her shirt. Watch closely. Was your shirt of a shiny material?

Kinda.

It is the reflection of your arm hitting the light.

Oh YEAH! Right....I see it now...

We were in an old renovated Factory to shoot our Music Video - I was standing under a sky-light; it was mid-day, and the Sun made a kind of "spotlight".

That's wild....I did not see that until it was pointed out!

I have been posting lately on the Journey Music board and it's like Perry never existed. In many way's that board has become an extension of the Arnel Pineda fansite, with just a few older people ever acknowledging SP. I've had my fun bashing on him over here but over there I have to take a different approach and make people aware of him as the man who has been singing those songs you have heard on the radio everyday.

Run a whiff of a rumor that SP will rejoin Journey for the next tour over there and see what happens.

Yeah, Gunbot, you should. Well, the problem is there's a huge amount of lurkers here from those sites, so you will never be able to pull it off. They've all already read this thread.

I have already voiced my opinion that when Arnel's work visa expires, he will be released and a major attempt will be made for a one off reunion tour. I think it will rival what Bon Jovi just did. I just don't see Arnel in it for the long haul. Scaled down touring and no new releases off of Revelation tell me this was one trick pony presented by Walmart and will not happen again.

We'll see

I think Arnel will stay with Journey past the three-year contract, barring health reasons. Neal and Jon can't win. Some of you on here talked all last tour how Neal runs his singers into the ground. (I'm not saying it was you.) I heard so much negative stuff in that regard. So they will make this a shorter tour. To me, that will keep them going longer b/c his voice will hold up. But they're doing an Asian short tour, the Europe tour, and here. I'd say they're still going good. Unfortunately, I don't see them doing much new music.

It remains to be seen, but I hope Neal and Jon with Arnel really put a lot of effort into the next CD. If they don't, then they should have left well enough alone and ended it on a high note with Revelation, which received great reviews and did well.

Steve Perry will never agree to a one off reunion tour with Journey. After all these singers and now the re-record of the hits, no way will he ever agree. But you're definitely right that it would be as big as Bon Jovi if they did, absolutely.

We'll see.

I am an artist, i followed your arm closely and noted where the arm comes up, light hits the reflective material of your shirt and cast a shine. Now that I have bored you..........LOL!

LOL! Who knows on a title. Street Talk didn't have a title track, but FTLOSM did so it's up in the air.

I think a major problem in Journey before was that Neal's talent was overshadowed by Steve Perry - how is it
going to go over now that the band he's put 36 years of his life into is being overshadowed by a singer he found
on YouTube a year ago? And I have a feeling that when the contract runs out, that's it - Arnel is already well set
for a solo career in the Philippines and seems to dislike touring more than SP ever did. When he leaves, the fans
he brought that are currently turning the Journey Music Board into an AP fansite will abandon the band and they
will be back at square one. If SP won't come back, at that point they should move Deen's drumkit to the
front of the stage and just have him sing lead. Or Neal could go on with his solo work and with Deen on drums,
he could throw a few Journey songs into his set to placate Journey fans while building his own legacy as a
solo artist.

Steve Perry does care about the Journey legacy - I hope when the band is one tour short of packing it up that
he comes back for a reunion tour. If he did, it would erase a decade of history as few but the diehard fans
would even remember that anyone else ever sang with Journey. The general public for the most part still thinks
that Arnel is the first singer they've had since SP. I'm not sure what that says about the general public. But
Steve Perry will always be the voice of Journey and that says it all.

Holy - has anyone else noticed that in less than two days, this thread has had over 11,554 hits?!
I thought I was seeing things. Andrew will need advanced warning for a new Steve Perry release
just to keep this site from crashing!

In today's world, why would he even need a label?

[Don]

In today's world, why would he even need a label?

For 2008, out of 428 million total albums sold, 67 million were digital sales. For the time being, CD is still the format of choice if you plan on having a successfull launch for a new album. And that is still an expensive endevore to get the manufactoring done and have retailers carry the product Having a label is still the way to go at this moment I would think.
If, for what ever reason, someone is determined to go it alone, I guess Amazon Market Place could be your starting point.

Interesting facts. Because of his absence, wouldn't it be far more cost effective to then do only downloads, cut a deal with Amazon or Itunes, or just off his own site. That way he would stay an independent, no contracts or label hassels. Can run his own show. See what the demand is and then maybe go the cd route if the demand is there?

I don't picture Perry signing any contracts w/ a record label. I also don't picture him touring behind a new release. I think he is done with both of those.

Darn it, and I was planning on stimulating the economy with that very nice $7500 refundable/repayable over 15 years 0 percent interest loan I will receive as a first time owner to finance my boob job and front tickets to the Steve Perry comeback tour. Guess I'll have to make someone else very happy!

I could see being done with the big venues/tight tour dates. He has often commented however that he missed the singing and the audience. What if he were to due the smaller venues on his timeline. Keep it really managable?

Seeing Sherrie isn't actually carrying a full rack, I don't know if Steve is really into big boobs.

Just because Sherrie didn't doesn't mean he doesn't like to look. Ever see the YT Midnight Special of LTS...
