Which Frontman Do You Prefer?

[L~L~L]

Here are some pictures just for eye candy purposes for the women.

But in all seriousness who do you prefer? Why? Please leave the smut to a minimum
However do elaborate on the voice, mannerism and I guess if you must the dancing!

Robert Fleishman


Gregg Rolie


Steve Perry


Steve Augeri


Jeff Scott Soto


Next Guy

[Ms_M]

Why only pick one? I like all of them - each have offered something a little different to Journey over the years.

Perry. His drama sucked, but his talent was by far the best.

I have to leave the smut to a minimum. Oh come on. That's no fun

IMO Fleischman was just not right for Journey. He's not bad looking but he doesn't do it for me.

Gregg was & still is a very sexy man. He has aged very well. I love his voice but it was never powerful enough to front Journey IMO. However, his melodies w/Perry are timeless & priceless. I never saw either of those 2 dance so I can't comment on that.

Overall, I prefer Steve Perry as the frontman because I love worship & adore his voice, his style, the soul of his voice combined w/the incredible highs, the way he moved & the passion he brought to every single song he sang every time he sang them. I also love the way the man looks & has always looked. He had an incredible sex appeal that isn't your typical goodlooking guy's appeal. Just something very special. I loved the way he danced. It was cute.

Augeri is a nicelooking guy but he didn't quite do it for me either. His voice when it was good was okay for a concert. But it didn't have the power Journey needed. His dancing seems to have turned a lot of people on, but I thought it was a bit girlie.

Since Perry isnt the frontman anymore and won't be again, I choose Jeff as my preferable frontman now. I really like the fullness of his voice which has a lot of soul & a rich deep quality to it, different from Perry, but flattering to the songs nonetheless. He has amazing vocal power & I think a rock band needs that. Jeff has some very sexy manly dances (particularly on Stand Up & Shout) that do something to me (I'm keeping it clean). He's still hot w/short hair, but I have to admit, his long curly locks really appealed to me. Although I never thought I'd say this, he brings something extra to Journey that even Perry didn't know how to do. Jeff's willingness to communicate directly w/fans, laugh at himself & w/us, and the down to earth attitude is something I've never come across in any lead singer of any band before. He's generous, kind, aware of what's going on w/fans & what they need. I think this might be just as exciting for him as it is for all of us. I don't think this is just another paycheck or a way to make money for him. I think it's a dream come true that reaches back to a teen Jeff singing along to Journey songs at his highschool prom.

If I had to choose between Perry & Jeff today to front Journey into the future, I would actually choose Jeff. There's too much bad blood/hard feelings w/Perry now & they can't go back there. There would also be conflict as Perry would want to run the show & Neal/Jon wouldn't care fo that. W/Jeff, there's a chemistry that is working for the band & an opportunity to write & have a future. They can do TV/radio appearances if offered them. (Heck JourneyGal posted a clip of Foreigner on the Today show & I thought why not Journey? But they couldn't do that w/Augeri unable to sing. Now with Jeff, they can do those kind of things & hopefully, they'll be offered.) Also, Jeff's looks/voice, overall internet savviness & openness appeal to younger fans as well as old. He may be able to give a classic rock band a new chance in today's music scene. That's something I don't think anyone else could give them. If I could turn back time & have the Perry of old w/the band of old & the 80s music scene, I would do it in a second. But things are different now & music is very different. So IMHO Jeff is the man to journey forward into the future.

The pic u chose of Jeff is not the most flattering. Here are my 2 all-time favorites of him to date. MMM.

[AR]

DUDE!! i once recieved a video of his,, nuts,, he had junk on stage and inserted stuff,, didnt he actually od on stage,, i think his band is with hank williams III,,, crazy ,, just crazy....

Unfortunately I have several videos of his.

Train wreck. Fascinating though.

[dcvader]

Perry is the voice, Jeff is the man that can do it now and into the future. No questions asked.

[Vladan]

Steve Perry! is this even debatable? sersiously. during the time Journey we "good, at the peek and at their best" Steve Perry was at the helm... I don't think its even an option.

But! in today's day and age - well I guess JSS is the guy with the vocals. He seems to be the better frontman it seems, and as much as people grew to love Augeri - I was never sold!.

Thanks.

[FormerJrnyFan]

SP was the man.. JSS is the man -

I'm with Vladan on this one...Is this really debatable??? Let me give you my three choices, in the order I prefer them in:

1. Perry
2. Perry
3. Perry


John from Boston

[SuiteMadameBlue]

I voted for Perry and I agree with what most of you post regarding the vocals

I'm looking forward to more pictures, please and thank you!

[JSS]

That's Jamie Moses, 2nd guitarist in the current touring lineup of Queen...we do shows every year with his band, SAS Band (Spike's All Star Band), featuring Spike Edney (also with Queen) on keys & several famous musicians along with a lineup of famous singers from the past & present (Leo Sayer, Fish, Kiki Dee, Paul Taylor, Roger Taylor, & more). I'll be in England a week after the Journey tour ends yet again to blast out a week of gigs with this lot in Dec...sold out gigs, lots of booze & fun!

let me add a cool pic of jss,,

Great pic! Who's that playing guitar?....
