Damn Suz, you're such a tramp

So what do you do, flip a coin to decide which one
will be your 'fantasy' for the day or is it
just a 'threesome' everyday, all-day-long in your mind???

Who said I only have one fantasy a day?

Funny that it's JOURNEY and they use Steve's photo who hasn't been with the band in years! Think if they ran a photo of Neal that anybody outside of the diehards would even know who the hell it was?

Time for the band and a lot of us to wake up to that (no offense to anyone here)

Ya know? I've been in denial, trying to put a show of support for "JOURNEY" over the last years since TBF. But painting it that way is pretty useless as I'm not much into Neal and Jon these days...

Perry WAS that band. As much as some of us deny it HE was the sound that made them. Guitar players? Dime a dozen (listen to the guy in The Storm- sounds just like Neal). Keyboard players? Same thing. However, a VOICE like that comes once in a decade, if that. Granted, Neal and Jon wrote some great tunes (with Perry, Rollie & Augeri), but it was Perry's passion and voice that sold the records. Without him, you just don't have that "THING" that makes Journey "Journey". I'm a big Augeri fan and I think he brought some things to the party and I dug his albums too, but the fact of the matter is- it will always be Perry he and anyone else in the band will be compared to- and rightly so. That guy had an inhuman voice that will cannot be replaced.

The rest of the world seems to realize this. It's only the real diehards that kind of tried (in vain) to keep the Journey fires burning without Perry.

Neal and Jon should kind of wake up to this fact. Without Steve, there's only going to be SO much success for this band.

What was the topic?

[Pelata]

LOL!!!

"Steve Perry's mortgage thanks you!"

I could not agree more with that statement.

[ArnelRox]

"Steve Perry's mortgage thanks you!"

He hasnt had one of those in decades.

[brywool]

funny about the mortgage!

Yeah, I've always kind of been pissed at Perry for leaving the band hanging, etc. but seriously, that guy WAS what brought MOST people to this band, including myself. Crap, outside of The Beatles, Perry was the guy that made me want to be a singer. I dunno, I htink that people thinking it could be anything without him are in denial (I definitely was).

[Henley]

Steve deserves all the good fortune this has generated!

I couldn't agree more...without Perry, Journey would have faded before '80.

Who said I only have one fantasy a day?

Hell yeah Carl, I'm so fickle I can go from Perry fantasy to JSS fantasy within an hour. I'm such a whore.

[ArnelRox]

Maybe it will motivate him to sing for his fans again. I keep hoping.

Agreed. In the BTM Herbie (and I think Neal) both said that the record company was ready to drop Journey because they didnt want to promote a jam band. Perry freaking saved Neal and Journey from being remembered in the Bay Area only.

Someone mentioned a singer threesome?!?!

[ArnelRox]

How they love to fuck over those singer that save them.

And How the world will remember those singers with greater glory and respect, too.

does this statement seems strange to anyone??

"While a lot of people were upset by last week's ambiguous and
abrupt "Sopranos" series finale, there's one group that couldn't
have asked for a better ending" -- Journey

not .. "come smoke marijuana?"

[Enigma869]

However, a VOICE like that comes once in a decade;)

We should all be so lucky that a voice like Perry's would come along "once in a decade"! I'm still waiting to hear another like his, and it's been 28 years since I first heard his voice. I definitely do agree that Perry made the band. While there are many Journey fans who have never believed that...the record speaks for itself! Journey has been beyond anonymous, without Perry at the helm!

Yeah, have you ever heard the expression "dead but just doesn't have enough sense to lie down"?

And, this is the truth. Steve Perry is the voice & the face of Journey. People (the majority) identify with a band because of the lead singer...and, even moreso with such a unique voice as SP's.
About 2 yrs ago I was at a catered family party & someone put ROR on the CD player. I just happened to be talking to the caterer & I brought up how Journey was my favorite band & I was going to a concert soon. She matter of factly said, "but, how can it be Journey without Steve Perry?"

It's not "come smoke marijuana" - it's "I wanna smoke marijuana".

P.S. The statement is practically prophetic.
