LIVE REVIEW - THE SCOTSMAN
Fiona Shepherd review the concert in Glasgow's Old Fruitmarket by Eliza Carthy (pictured) and her band The Ratcatchers. The concert was held as part of the city's continuing Celtic Connections festival and the review appeared in The Scotsman newspaper.

If that was her, she would've had some mighty big balls talking about Jeff's hair.

Poodle permed.....what a prick!! The same morons say this about Brian May out here, both of us have NATURAL fucking curls, not PERMED! If anything, I burned the shit straight for the Soul SirkUS era, I hate ignos out there who use that phrase, you don't see them calling Perry hair 'ironed'!

I think you should shave it bald! Bald is beautiful...and it doesn't take a lot of maintenance!

right on! Men are so lucky-bald is acceptable-no curling iron for the bald look. lucky lucky lucky.

screw the reviewer and the horse he rode in on, Jeff. Grow the fro, bro.



Poodle perm. hmph. my poodles are highly offended.

.........................................

Perry's hair was his crowning glory. Everyone just knew it was the real deal, ROR aside.

[JSS]

It only gets my blood in a boil because I have heard B May complain about it for years, in his own country, people not knowing after 30 some odd years in the business THAT is his natural hair & still call it 'poodle-permed', he gets quite aggravated about it & I guess I did too...like u all said, at least the review was ok aside of her saying the Darkness are doing what they do as tongue n cheek whereas Journey are still living the bombast with all seriousness....& why the fuck shouldn't we?

the Darkness are doing what they do as tongue n cheek whereas Journey are still living the bombast with all seriousness....& why the fuck shouldn't we?

No reason JSS! I'm much looking forward to full-on, unironic pomposity and bombast in London next week!

What a great word "bombast" is. JSS definitely brings that to the band.

[Matthew]

Dude, how many times do I need to say this. Chicago sucks.

And I'm still not hearing you, Deano. Chicago were utterly superb - especially in the 1980s.

[Matthew]

yes, and doesn't it underline the fickle nature of the UK buying demographic that those Chicago ballads (Hard Habit etc, which I secretly do like despite Cetera's slightly whiny vocals)? I could never see why Open Arms, Who's Crying Now or Faithfully wouldn't have been big hits in the UK at that time? That said DSB has always been very popular in mainstream circles here - if any decent covers band plays it in a pub everyone loves and remembers it which is always slightly strange, amongst Reckless era Bryan Adams and the like...

Feel no shame about Hard Habit To Break and You're The Inspiration, Marc!

As for Journey's lack of UK hits...well, Steve Perry is my spiritual leader and the greatest singer in the world and all that... BUT I do think he was the reason Journey didn't connect with the UK mainstream in the way that almost every other major AOR band did. I remember even the specialist rock press here saying Perry was an "acquired taste".

Maybe the Voice was just too emotional and expressive for most of us repressed and uptight Brits?

I wanna know if it was Jeff's idea to get Neal feeling young again, sporting
that sleeveless job in the UK! Remenicent of the Frontiers and ROR days!

So all this hoopla about Jeff's doo?
Hell, I thought he was going for the "Eyes" look again!


We can start worrying when he pulls out the Spandex!
Until then, rock on

I understand your frustration, but at least the writer said, "...or possibly just needed a quick liedown backstage, having expended so much energy over the course of a two-hour show with impressively little flab." I would be thrilled if someone told me I had "impressively little flab!"

The same can be said about Kate Bush here in the U.S. Definitely an acquired taste.

[Jeremey]

The same can be said about Kate Bush here in the U.S. Definitely an acquired taste.

Or Cliff Richards or Robbie Williams here in the states - Million selling artists in the UK, bigger than anything we've had over here. Different tastes between US and the UK, no doubt.

I grew up in Europe; I lived in the UK, Sweden, (West) Germany, and Italy, and didn't live in the US until I turned 16.

Journey was bigger than Chicago, Foreigner, and Styx in the late 70's and through the mid 80's. I say this unequivocal certainty, and the record sales and chart figures confirm this. Just because she preferred Petey Cetera crooning in his unbearable falsetto to The Voice, does not give her artistic license to make unsubstantiated claims. Believe me, I was desperately trying to get a girl...any girl...to give me my first kiss starting in 1980 (and I was unsuccessful until 1985), and any time you wanted to set the atmosphere right at a school dance, you asked the DJ to play "Open Arms" or "Faithfully" - not "(It's) Hard to Sing - I'm Sorry). Still, the review was pretty damn good. Shania, we are the same age, and we both grew up in Europe...what is your recollection of Journey's influence and popularity?

Incidentally, Jeremey, when are you guys coming back to the Carolinas?

We will be back at Amos' on Saturday 3/24 (3 weeks!!) - Spread the news!!

Hot damn! I'm f***ing psyched. I'll drag out some of my reclusive married (formerly fun) friends. They'll crap their pants when they hear you.

Sweet! Amos' doesn't have us back near enough for us to gain in popularity in most of the other venues that we are selling out in. It may be his advertising strategy, but most of the fans coming to Amos' are the older Journey fans who are tough to get out of the house for anything, versus most of the places we are extremely successful in, where the crowd's average age is probably 25. We are also doing an Alive After Five in Charlotte in May, so that should help get Amos' attendance up - There were over 3000 people there the last time we had to pack up due to rain...

Shania, we are the same age, and we both grew up in Europe...what is your recollection of Journey's influence and popularity?

It was a bit different here in Eastern Europe.We had only one national radio station and American rock music was banned.
The Beatles were getting thru' and some other big European names,but no trace of any kind of US of rock'n'roll,so no "official" Journey was played.
Still,they were known,especially with the ballads.
OA and Faithfully,Wheel In The Sky,as well as IBAWY later in the 80s were the songs that would usually end up on every rock complilation "bootleg" that were brought in the country on audio cassetes.The biggest hit of all around here was DSB.
These songs were played at parties along with early Chicago,REO,Boston or The Eagles,then later it was Jovi,Foreigner,Halen,Judas,that kind of stuff.

As far as popularity goes,in our private rock fans circles, I would say Journey was after Chicago,although Open Arms was requested before Hard To Say I'm Sorry.

Sadly,Journey doesn't get too much airplay here nowadays,in fact the presence of the classic Journey material on the FM is close to zero.
I might be one of the few DJs if not the only one in this damn country who plays tons of Journey from all eras.
Someone has to do the dirty job,right?

As a side note,I'm afraid Journey will never end up in this part of the world for a live show,although we have amazing venues and equipment plus lots of AOR fans,
but I'm looking at the Rolling Stones,who are supposed to sign for a show in Bucharest in July.Their only questions were how many albums did they sell in Romania and how many and which RS songs were/are in the Romanian radio charts.
If that's the case,then Shakira is the one who must come here and have 10 gigs every year!

Sorry for rambling.What's happening today with the music and the listeners is driving me mad.
