Don't Shoot the Messenger - Perry Recording Music!!!!!

[YoungJRNY]

Does anyone see a trend over the past.....uh...... 13 years or so with these threads? It goes something like this:

#1- A loon posts an interview/snippet/paper clipping/writing on a Gatorade cap that "SMFP" is "working on a new album" and then proceeds to get excited. Not only that BUT MAKES IT KNOWN IN THEIR POST by writing in CAPS in some area's to magnify their excitement.

#2- More excitement is followed by other posters who pump their fist at the fact that BELIEVING is the key and puts " " after everything they say.

#3- The asshole comes in and shits on the parade, stating that we've been here, done this, and won't believe it until they either hear the new album blasted on the radio, or a single goes to "#1" on the charts.

#4- Bickering back and forth occurs about what the asshole has to say and that this time this news is "reliable" and "real."

#5- By this time, the talk starts up about people predicting how many pages this thread will go just because it has Steve Perry in the title.

#6- The well thought out reason on why Perry WILL and SHOULD put out this CD, mostly for the fans.

#7- The poster in #6 triggers the next poster to give make a post about how pissed off they are about how "SMFP" hasn't came out with anything recently and proceeds to pound their chest about how mad they are about it.

#8- Asshole #2 comes in and says it'll never happen, and get over it.

#9- More fighting over #8.

#10- Flame wars start to occur, and this triggers displeasure about the Augeri years and how it "just isn't the same.." and that "the magic isn't there.."

#11- The Soto loyalists come out of the wood work and vow that they've been thinking about what the band did to JSS and proceed that they are done with Journey all together.

#12- The poster of "Can't we all just get along" poster shows up

#13- It's starting to get personal, and people start calling out when Andrew will lock this thread.

#14- Deano makes his cameo and "mother fucks" a poor soul into oblivion.

#15- Arnel's accent is the reason why Journey won't go anywhere, and Friga is gay comments start to flush.

#16- There will be no other like Steve Perry, and his voice will forever live in infamy.

#17- Is a reunion tour possible?

#18- More flaming wars over the question in #17. There will be no more Journey with Perry because Neal is a midget who has too many girlfriends who divorce him.

#19- Andrew is only 2 hours away from getting up, so you better get things in before it's locked..

#20- Kevin Chalfant should of been the right choice for Perry's replacement in 1998

#21- I got screwed and cheated in 2005, and blame Augeri for ruining my life.

#22- Perry's new record will smash anything Journey has ever done.

You cynical non-believers................

You want proof that SMFP is recording music? Here it is..

We've all known for a very long while now that he's been recording material. That has been a fact for quite some time.
Don't need the proof. Whether anything is released is another matter.

You are correct, but go to the link I posted and give a listen and see what you think about what Perry says about it.

I listened, otherwise I'd not have commented... he didn't say anything that I didn't already know, though, except maybe the part where he said a new record was his "plan". But plans change - I do it myself constantly - so we'll see, I guess.

BJG are u channeling Splashy ......WE'LL SEE

Well, he didn't invent the phrase. He just spewed it obnoxiously and everyone else made a big joke out of it.

You cynical non-believers................

You want proof that SMFP is recording music? Here it is..

The UNCUT VERSION of the interview on Monday. Listen carefully to all the parts of the interview that were not in the general public version on Monday.

Right out the SMFP's MOUTH...................

GOD BLESS HIM

http://www.cbc.ca/q/uncut.html

I can't get the link to come up.....

Try the link again, and then scroll down on the Jian CBC radio website to Steve Perry Uncut July 20th, click on the little arrow button and it will play for you.
Lots of additional comments by Perry that were not in the Monday interview. Awesome stuff. The things WE were looking for that were cut from Monday's broadcast. I'm very excited. OMG That's what I call RIGHT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH!

Thanks for the link. Yes, he does say something more difinitive then what he has been saying. He says he has been in studio and working on new music for the last year and 1/2....before he would say he was thinking about doing something again, that he would write...but here he says he is putting it all together and working on a new solo CD....he just doesn't know what he's going to do with it because he's not signed and is doing it on his own. I don't take that to mean he may never do anything with it...he may just be trying to decide the best way to market it. I also think he's trying to see what the level of interest may be...with someone(s) in place to move it, maybe, and the level of interest with the public.
I don't think he would have said things the way he did in this interview..say he's recording a new solo effort ...without having the intention to release it. This wasn't as vague...just something he was alluding to...this was definitely more definitive.
Very good news! I'm looking forward to hearing it.

My question is:

Why was this version NOT the original interview...?

[Playitloudforme]

My question is:

Why was this version NOT the original interview...?

I didn't have time to listen to the original, so I've no idea how "different" this uncut version is. Either way... Happy Loon dance ensues. See below.

[bluejeangirl76]

My question is:

Why was this version NOT the original interview...?

If you look at that cbc page, there are "uncut" versions of many other interviews also.
Edited down for air time would be my guess.

[slucero]

interesting words from Perry... he seems to be moving in the "product" direction... as opposed to just recording... good news..


Q. ... how do you feel about this song (DSB) potentially being the one you'll always be remembered by?

"Well... that's a great thing... At the same time I'm writing new music, right now... I haven't been writing in years and about a year ago I started writing music and I've stumbled across some things I really believe in and love perhaps there might be a couple of other things that people might know me for, or maybe not completely be known by but, they'll know me for some other stuff sometime soon."

Q. Can we expect a solo record again soon?

SP: Yeaaaah... I'm working on that... I really am trying to do that... that's my plan... I'm not signed to anybody, I'm a free agent... I'm no longer signed to Sony... that's a good thing, and um, now I'm kinda just figuring out what to do"

Ah ha, I was waiting for the uncut version to be released to see if there were anymore tidbits. Good stuff. I am very encouraged by the fact we have now heard Steve say in his own words that he is recording again. This confirms what we've been hearing all along. Although he did not elaborate on how or when the music would be released, he did lead one to believe that this was his intention. It would simply make no sense for him to spend all the money required for studio time, hiring professional drummers, studio musicians etc. if he didn't intend to release a new album. Since he is not signed with any record company, he might just start his own label and release it. Who knows. I am very encouraged, and will continue to practice my loon voodoo rituals until a new Steve Perry solo album is finally released.

#3- The asshole comes in and shits on the parade, stating that we've been here, done this, and won't believe it until they either hear the new album blasted on the radio, or a single goes to "#1" on the charts.

#4- Bickering back and forth occurs about what the asshole has to say and that this time this news is "reliable" and "real."

#5- By this time, the talk starts up about people predicting how many pages this thread will go just because it has Steve Perry in the title.

#6- The well thought out reason on why Perry WILL and SHOULD put out this CD, mostly for the fans.

#7- The poster in #6 triggers the next poster to give make a post about how pissed off they are about how "SMFP" hasn't came out with anything recently and proceeds to pound their chest about how mad they are about it.

#8- Asshole #2 comes in and says it'll never happen, and get over it.

#9- More fighting over #8.

#10- Flame wars start to occur, and this triggers displeasure about the Augeri years and how it "just isn't the same.." and that "the magic isn't there.."

#11- The Soto loyalists come out of the wood work and vow that they've been thinking about what the band did to JSS and proceed that they are done with Journey all together.

#12- The poster of "Can't we all just get along" poster shows up

#13- It's starting to get personal, and people start calling out when Andrew will lock this thread.

#14- Deano makes his cameo and "mother fucks" a poor soul into oblivion.

#15- Arnel's accent is the reason why Journey won't go anywhere, and Friga is gay comments start to flush.

#16- There will be no other like Steve Perry, and his voice will forever live in infamy.

#17- Is a reunion tour possible?

#18- More flaming wars over the question in #17. There will be no more Journey with Perry because Neal is a midget who has too many girlfriends who divorce him.

#19- Andrew is only 2 hours away from getting up, so you better get things in before it's locked..

#20- Kevin Chalfant should of been the right choice for Perry's replacement in 1998

#21- I got screwed and cheated in 2005, and blame Augeri for ruining my life.

#22- Perry's new record will smash anything Journey has ever done.

#23-LOCKED

LMAO!!! Brilliant! gracias

You are still hot

I wouldn't be surprised to see Perry finagle a deal with Best Buy or Target, throw in a DVD from a night club performance and run with it all the way to the bank.

[Jana]

interesting words from Perry... he seems to be moving in the "product" direction... as opposed to just recording... good news..


Q. ... how do you feel about this song (DSB) potentially being the one you'll always be remembered by?

"Well... that's a great thing... At the same time I'm writing new music, right now... I haven't been writing in years and about a year ago I started writing music and I've stumbled across some things I really believe in and love perhaps there might be a couple of other things that people might know me for, or maybe not completely be known by but, they'll know me for some other stuff sometime soon."

Q. Can we expect a solo record again soon?

SP: Yeaaaah... I'm working on that... I really am trying to do that... that's my plan... I'm not signed to anybody, I'm a free agent... I'm no longer signed to Sony... that's a good thing, and um, now I'm kinda just figuring out what to do"

funny, I just made that comment the other day when splashy said he wasn't feeling good about it as much. I said, we know he's been recordng seriously, so what is the holdup, and one of the scenarios I threw out was not being picked up by a label. I think that is the holdup. If he had had a label backing him on this, we would have heard a lot more already. So it's just a matter of time when he puts together a deal to release it. Hopefully, it won't turn into an Against the Wall, or whatever the name of that non-released album is, where it went nowhere.

[journey361]

The idea of SMFP now finished recording and deciding how and when to go about releasing it to the world brings me to a relative SMFP question. He said he has been recording for quite some time, i assume over a 2 or 3 year period. This means there may be 1 or 2 songs somewhere on this CD after or somewhat close to his throat surgery. If that is the case, you may be given a different approach (vocal-wise) than lets say a cleaner, crispier sound from this past winter or last fall. You could possibly get a combo of TBF voice, and a well rested or for a better term, relaxed vocal approach and that brings me to the Frontiers LOWER TENOR SOUND. It would make for a good sell marketing wise anyway.

Just found this on the internet..............

I do not attest to any truth to the matter, but if true........... what a blessing............and a gift.

THAT is what they call a "news" item? Good Lord...

+1 Are we really so predictable? Were in a rut. Time to shake things up!

Absoluetly THEE best post I've ever read, YoungJRNY!!!! So true. So true. I especially like #19. It reminds me of the “dad” warnings where somebody sees the red “Andrew” and yells “Dad’s awake” & we all scatter like roaches. LOLOL!!!!!

[perryswoman]

After hearing Steve say that I think he has been really thinking of releasing music for quite awhile because I remember an interview he did a few years back saying he was a free agent and that he might just record and put on itunes. And yes it is quite obvious that he can not stand Sony.


BRING IT ON STEVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
