Time For Me To Come Clean

[KDOUBLEU]

Steve was probably more psyched over the half time show with Springsteen that he didn't give a rats ass about the pre-game show.

I would say watched the game maybe.. watched Journey no way i dont think he has any interest in watching them perform.

I think he probably went out of his way to NOT see it. Perry's so sensitive and it's like a dagger in the heart to him to see them playing with another singer.

Agreed. It's weird how the most powerful singers in the world usually seem to be ultra sensitive. After watching the VH1 Journey BTM it is obvious that Perry is very sensitive, especially about the music that Journey made. Neal knew this, and used it as a dagger in Perry's heart when he rerecorded the classics. The only reason anyone would have recorded them was to say, "We don't need Steve Perry - he's not what was unique about this band."

"Neal knew this, and used it as a dagger in Perry's heart when he rerecorded the classics"? LMAO.

I'll give you props for your omniscience and ability to read intent in the minds of others, but Neal has gone on record praising Perry's voice and his contributions to Journey. They may not like one another, but the idea that Schon is some bastard out to screw Perry is ridiculous. Schon seems a little less composed relative to Perry when it comes to press, but when it comes to actual deeds of bastardry, one could make a case that Perry was worse. Hell, might as well say Perry put a dagger in Neal's heart by scuttling the proposed line up with Chalfant and Valory for purely selfish reasons.

So I disagree. I think the reason they rerecorded the classics is a.) because Wal-Mart told them to do so and b.) to prove that they had a singer whose technical skills were finally strong enough to honor the great man's voice.

Schon knows that he can't just wipe away Perry's impact on Journey; he hasn't even indicated as much that he'd like to try.

I know they were under the gun to get that GH with Arnel CD out, but if they were trying to prove his talent, I wish they'd have done more with the production.

I liked the new version of Separate Ways and Only the Young. The rest did nothing for me due to production; I miss the days when they all sang background vocals, not just Deen.

"Open Arms", imho, was much better this time around. Arnel didn't pussify it.

I thought the keyboard sounded cheesy on Separate Ways, other than that it was good. I thought Arnel NAILED Only The Young.

lets just say that perry now watches them like an older man who was once with a real fine woman and that lady is now older,with less beauty and much less glamerous.he sits back knowing he had the best years of her life and is content with that.

Now C'mon BJGirl( ),

Wow, kudos. You're the first person ever to make that joke.
BJ Girl... ha ha ha. *snicker* BJ... *giggle*

I'll bet he had a Mad Splash over it too!

Ok, see now THAT was funny.

Yea, that was hilarious!
About as grown up as my BJgirl comment, right?

Not a matter of grown up.
One joke was lame as hell and not at all original and one wasn't.

Bluejeangirl, could make this av thing great, continuing saga of the battle of the Boss and Perry.............might be more fun than you anticipated............
