Looking at your avatar, I cringe whenever I see him using that 99 cent razer. I hope Sherrie wasn't using it to trim the beaver, that'll dull the blades real fast.
Did Steve really give all the Royalties for his song "Oh Sherrie" to Sherrie Swafford? I bet that made her a little fortune over the years.

Looks like there is a bug under his bottom lipp. fuckersgot a big for head. i dont know what it holds

I wasn't referring to the cream, but I'm actually glad you thought that way.
That's MUCH less disgusting than what I was actually aiming for.

Anyway................

We enjoyed the Nissan gig very much. My wife and I were sitting 6th row in front of NS, and it was a good crowd. (Huge turnout - over 18,000 I'd estimate...)

CHEAP TRICK was very good , as usual - Zander's voice was strong as ever and I loved the fact they did obscure oldies "Oh Claire" and "C'mon C'mon".

I could have wrung HEART's soundman's neck though. He cranked the volume after Trick's set and it was completey unnecessary. They were too loud and overbearing - shame because Ann and Nancy were both in incredible voice.... with what you could make out through the volume and distortion. (The only time you could hear them clearly was on the mellower arrangements for tracks like "These Dreams" and "Alone".)

JOURNEY, as it appeared to us, is doing their best to kill the "Golden Goose". Pushing their schedule the way they do, it's no wonder Arnel has been sick for a week and showing vocal strain. (There is no reason to do 4-5 shows a week. Lighten the schedules a bit and maintain his voice/longevity. Foolish move since they plan to book dates again in early '09 and keep the ball rolling immediately.) The band also suffered from poor sound issues early in the set, and Cain and Schon seemed to be "phoning it in". Then about mid set, things picked up and Arnel also got warmed up. His voice on "Separate Ways", "Faithfully", and "Wheel In the Sky" was spectacular. He finished the last hour very strong and basically made the other band members rise to the occasion. Very impressive showing for him, being new to the concert trail.

Heart blew me away. it was my first time seeing Arnel with Journey. You saw my reveiw.Ididnt know how sick he was, i just noticed he dodged a few notes {2 or 3} which was smart,And he sings his ass off,and made really good contact with the audience. If journey respects him and doesnt fuck up anymore, and over book there tour {greed} They could have another 5 years of fun with Arnel

by **Don** » Mon Sep 01, 2008 12:37 pm

This shows how tough Ann is, even with a shorter set she's bringing it, even doing shows at other venues on some of the offnights. The chic is around 58 years old to boot.

With as much experience in touring and burnin' out singers, you'd expect them to spread these out a bit. I don't know how any singer can last doin' that.

Perry's voice changed as a direct result of the touring. He was younger than AP & SA so it took longer to wear it down. 82-83 was the first very noticeable change. In 86 he was already deeper than 83.

AP's pretty strong but 1 more cd and tour and I think it'll deteriorate too.

They should have Ann Wilson belt out a journey tune or 2

by **stevew2** » Mon Sep 01, 2008 1:11 pm

they had enough material on there own to do. Which row were you on ?

Well if they keep up this killer pace, they won't have to worry about getting an extension for Arnel's 3 year work visa. The dude will be ready for retirement or a part time gig singing old Rey Valera songs. On the plus side of things, he will be able to live quite comfortably in the Philippines for a very long time as long as he keeps his finances in order.

Yep, after his last chat transcription, I wouldn't be surprised if he just walked away from it all. He didn't sound like a very happy man.

I wonder how much they actually pay him. They still pay Perry so they may just have him on a singer for hire flat salary. May not be so comfortable. You could tell he strained through the first few Journey "oldies'. They are running him in the ground. I told my son I would be suprised if he made it through the tour without a cancellation. then again they can always backtrack the vocals and turn his mic down. I feel for him. I am sure financially the band does much better than Arnel even though he is the one who makes it possible for them to continue on. They are much better and the show is much better than when JSS was in but for how long?

I wa in row R orchestra 2 and I heard little distortion in the heart songs. I thought she sounded incredibly good. In fact, I was amazed by her voice live at this age. I'd love to hear her do City of the Angels, Sweet So Simple and a few others frankly.

I read on here that he gets paid like a half partner. Half of what the rest get. Perry isn't getting paid like he used to now that the 10 years have passed. He still gets his writing credit, but nothing more. He used to get paid like he was there singing. He was a damn good business man.
