Maybe that was too much talent for the band. Now I will not pay anymore for another sound alike . It has nothing to do with Arnel, but his bosses and their credibility at this point as posing as Journey!


I have to agree with you.I got to see Perry with them.Have never seen Augeri or JSS.Don't care about seeing them anymore.But Jss would love to see him he ROCKS!

For me, he had a significant impact. My first Journey show was with JSS, and through there I was inspired to delve through most of JSS's back catalogue with Talisman, solo, and various other projects. JSS's solo work and Talisman are among my favorite rock groups to this day, and several songs have touched me in the way that many famous Journey songs have as well.

Just curious as to what the public felt.


Same here. It was immediate! I believe I have all his back catalog except for Yngwie. Can't say why, he just hit me like a ton of bricks within a minute of opening his mouth at the Journey concert!

My actual first thought was "Steve Augeri is not coming back." :oops:

Musically, it didn't impact me any differently than anything else I listen to. He is a great frontman and has the kind of show you can take your girlfriend to. I didn't come away floored like I have to buy his album, but I love music and I give him major props for keeping his nose to the wheel all these years and not being bitter about any bad breaks that have come his way. He does appear to have an effect on chics that makes them want to drop their panties which gives him major points in the Rockstar category but since I'm not a woman I can't claim any impact from that other than the insight that he may have some Tom Jones lineage down the line somewhere.

It ws nice to meet some of the peeps here which made for an enjoyable experience. :D


Ahem. Some of us are happily married women who appreciate JSS for his vocal prowess and energetic stage presence and have no inclination to drop anything, thank you very much.

And if you believe that I have a bridge in SF I'd like to sell you! :D :oops: :oops: :oops: :D

(PS- totally cool meeting you! :) )

Looks like it's 32 to 29. So about half who voted were influenced by him to some degree.
