Jeremey & Journey Demo Info

[Greg]

Thanks for posting these, J. You would have been a great singer for them.

For real yo!

[brywool]

Wow, cool. I'm surprised that Journey would be cool with you posting these. It's nice that they're not hassling you about it. Very cool man, thanks for sharing.

[youkeepmewaiting]

Good stuff, you would of been a good studio fit for them definitly

[Deb]

Awesome, man! Thanks for giving us a listen to these!

No problem Rip, glad you enjoyed them!

I'm listening to them again now... Hey, btw... you've definitely earned your own smiley, if you would like one. Let me know, and I'll fix ya up! It can be customized to your order...

Hey Rip, I know a couple you could do for me! Pleeeeeeease.

Can't listen from work, will check them out later today.

[Rip Rokken]

LOL I think you know who. I'll pm you pics tonight, thanks Ripper. I see a sig change coming on for Deb. Look out.

[StoneCold]

Good hearing a cleaned up version of WOF. The only one I remember is a boot from a concert.

[Don Wishon]

Thanks Jeremy....I'm REALLY looking forward to those Texas dates you're working on!!!

What's this about Texas??

Let me know if any are around D/FW and I can help you promote the show. I have booked several shows for other artists and have a distribution list of fans that we could tap into.

[amaron]

Holy shit... and I thought AP sounded like Perry.

You definitely picked the right band to cover.

[jrnyfan@nc.rr.com]

I agree - Jeremy the resemblance to Perry is uncanny on these tracks. I've never been able to get that feeling when I hear you sing live (not cracking on you at all, you sing great) - but the "magic" really was captured in the studio with these tracks.

I dont think it needs saying that They wound up with the wrong guy.

Best of luck Jeremey - you were the real man for the job but given your position I understand why things had to be the way they are.

I think after selling 100, 000 the first week, they'll live with it. It probably worked out best for everyone that mattered.

[kgdjpubs]

I think you are right. From a marketing standpoint, it will probably end up making Journey a lot more money due to the presence of Arnel and his presence in Asia. In the end, you get both--why complain?!?

Agreed-- Nothing but respect for a guy that would turn down fame and fortune. We can only imagine the pressure that you must have felt on what to do at that time.

yeah, I totally get that Schon statement now....

Big J, I know how much you love Jeremy and wanted to support him just like everybody else on this thread. But please don't go that far by saying that "the band wound up with the wrong guy".]You don't wanna start a heated argument here among fans and fuck up this beautiful thread.Nothing but respect for Jeremy. Peace!

[ScarabGator]

Jeremey, bro it sounds great. But anyone thats heard you wouldnt expect anything less.

[hgwy407]

Damn, what are you guys listening to??? His voice sounds like complete shit!! They would have crashed and burned hard. This guy's voice breaks up badly and his pitch bites. Total garbage vocal. Sorry for being blunt. I went in excited to hear these and thought this was a joke at first....

That is pretty harsh, its a demo and was showing the difference in the way the versions played out. Why don't you check out some videos of Jeremy with his band and then make a judgement.

[G.I.Jim]

Hey Jeremey,

I listened to the tunes a few times, and am REALLY digging the backing vocals you did on "Never Walk Away". I really wish the studio version would have kept those chord changes! Listening to your vocals on that song really reminds me of "You Better Wait". Pretty damn cool!!! Now back to my tunes.... Congratulations man, and I can't wait to hear the new line-up. I'll probably catch you in Charlotte. Talk to you later,


Jim

Wow, you're a dickhead. Harsh criticism is one thing, it's another when your posting it in response to the guy who started the post. Especially when he's a professional musician.

Jeremey's vocal on NWA isn't that far removed from Perry's rapid vocal delivery on "With a Tear" or "Don't Tell Me Why You're Leaving."
I think it's a very credible performance.
Already heard WOF, love the rasp, sounds very much like Perry circa Lost Angels.
Thanks Jeremey.

Cheech: What is in this shit, man?
Man: Mostly Maui-waui, man...
Cheech: Yeah?
Man: ... but it's got some labrador in it.
Cheech: What's labrador?
Man: It's dog shit, man.
Cheech: What!
Man: Yeah, my dog ate my stash, man. Had it on the table and the little motherfucker ate it. It really blew the dog's mind, man.
Cheech: You mean we're smoking dog shit, man?

Not to be a harsh critic, but I agree. Not very good at all. just my worthless .02

Oh man I bet my wife's never seen "Up In Smoke". I have to rent that so she can see it. I haven't seen it in years but I remember the first 30-45 minutes were hilarious but it really drops off after that.
