or I'd like to see you and Behshad give us your version of Open Arms again

Ours was better than Perry's and the re-record. Plus it would have made a killer video.

Yes, video next time instead of just still shots

(Lynn's making me drink tonight )

I doubt she had to twist your arm more than 1 or 2 degrees.

You should come on down! We'll leave the mops in the closet, I promise!!

No mops? No deal. You just wanna hear Never Walk Away again. (Tony) "One more time from the top, Dan!"

LOL! There were so many one-more-time-from-the-tops, that was hysterical I thought G was going to kill you both

I remember the one time I kept pressing play and nothing was happening. Didn't realize Gayle had unplugged it. Then someone said "It's not plugged in, dumbass."

That was the best part!! Watching Gayle get up every 5 minutes to unplug you!!!!!!!!! LOL

Yes the DVD was recorded in March, not sure about disc 2.

I think it was recorded on December 3rd between 3 and 5 pm.

That's so cool!!!

(Lynn's making me drink tonight )

Holy hell. How I'd love to be between you two intoxicated vixens.

Seriously, you two behave. Dammit.

We ALWAYS behave

Yeah, right. Buncha ass pinching troublemakers. You two are well known.

Actually I grab apparently, not pinch

Well that's better, I guess.

It's good someone wasn't laughing as hard as I was so they could actually tell you that

lol...and I was so drunk and am so stubborn I would have sat there for hours trying to figure it out!!! I think Tony was the one that actually told me it was unplugged.

The noise had to be deafening. And the laughter even louder!!! We were up all night. Miracle no one came and yelled at us. lol..."One more time from the top, Dan."

Why pay for a synchronization license of a re-recorded song? You have to pay the songwriters (NS, JC & SP), regardless of which version is used in the movie and you need permission from all three of them. Why would you want to pay Perry when it's not his voice and in turn, why would Perry grant permisssion if it's not his voice? The re-records did the job of getting Revelation to Platinum. Now let's bury them in a hole and never speak of them again.

Actually, Perry is not required to give permission for use of any re-recorded music. He only has control over his voice and image. He will still get paid but it is "Journey's" product and only "Journey" needs to give permission. That was, in fact, the main argument FOR the re-records: control over their use by the band, ie Neal and Jon.

That's cool and explains a lot. So he gets paid but can't block the usage as long as it's a re-record. Since the different versions are from different publishers, wouldn't the movie have to pay two agencies and would Perry in essence be paid twice if they used both versions of the song in the same movie?

IF the movie played both versions then I would imagine there would be a double-up on paperwork. I don't know about songwriting royalties. I don't think it would be any different than "Open Arms" being played 4 different times in "Last American Virgin"...pretty sure it is still only one songwriting royalty.

What I mean is the money goes to two different labels right, Sony and Nomota who in turn pay the artists/songwriters if they used both versions of the songs. I think this a rare occurrence were double dipping could conceivably be allowed.

I guess what I'm saying is, if Perry gives permission, then the original version by itself would be the logical way and cheaper way to go. I'm only saying this due to people who might be thinking that both versions were used in the BedTime Stories Movie.
