Steve Perry's Nose (Thanks to Steve Martin )

1. Obvious: Excuse me. Is that your nose or did a bus park on your face.
2. Meteorological: Everybody take cover. She's going to blow.
3. Fashionable: You know, you could de-emphasize your nose if you wore something larger. Like ... Wyoming.
4. Personal: Well, here we are. Just the three of us.
5. Punctual: Alright gentlemen. Your nose was on time but you were fifteen minutes late.
6. Envious: Oooo, I wish I were you. Gosh. To be able to smell your own ear.
7. Naughty: Pardon me, Sir. Some of the ladies have asked if you wouldn't mind putting that thing away.
8. Philosophical: You know. It's not the size of a nose that's important. It's what's in it that matters.
9. Humorous: Laugh and the world laughs with you. Sneeze and it's goodbye Seattle.
10. Commercial: Hi, I'm Earl Schibe and I can paint that nose for $39.95.
11. Polite: Ah. Would you mind not bobbing your head. The orchestra keeps changing tempo.
12. Melodic: Everybody! "He's got the whole world in his nose."
13. Sympathetic: Oh, What happened? Did your parents lose a bet with God?
14. Complimentary: You must love the little birdies to give them this to perch on.
15. Scientific: Say, does that thing there influence the tides.
16. Obscure: Oh, I'd hate to see the grindstone.
17. Inquiry: When you stop to smell the flowers, are they afraid?
18. French: Say, the pigs have refused to find any more truffles until you leave.
19. Pornographic: Finally, a man who can satisfy two women at once.
20. Religious: The Lord giveth and He just kept on giving, didn't He.
21. Disgusting: Say, who mows your nose hair.
22. Paranoid: Keep that guy away from my cocaine!
23. Aromatic: It must be wonderful to wake up in the morning and smell the coffee ... in Brazil.
24. Appreciative: Oooo, how original. Most people just have their teeth capped.
25. Dirty: Your name wouldn't be Dick, would it?

Hey you made it, now go "like" it! It looked like Sean made it being the only one there when I clicked on it

[brywool]

probably get a lawsuit going now...

Wow. Reading that interview made me really hate Kevin Shirley even more than I already did previously.

Really?!?! Do the two of you have a past?!?

Not exactly.

But the dude is behind the terrible production of multiple CDs I own that I love to death, but wish the bands who made said-CDs would go back and have the CDs remixed properly. Iron Maiden, for example.

To give Kevin his dues though, I do admit I personally appreciated the raw production of Iron Maiden's A Matter of Life and Death CD. But generally, his work is pretty terrible.

I tend to agree. In general I really don't like Kevin's style of production. There are some exceptions - A Matter of Life and Death (agreed), Trial By Fire, Arrival (most, not all), By Your Side (Black Crowes). I really don't understand how he has become the much sought after producer that he apparently is.

I don't understand how he became so hated ...you like his work, you don't like his work...HATE, mighty strong!!
his fav artists are using him ...would he consider hating them?!? <<<<was my point!!

Oi! I don't hate the artists, and I don't suppose I actually hate Kevin himself (though he does seem to come across the wrong way IMO), but I definitely hate a great majority of the productions I've heard from him.

TBF, AMOLAD, Eclipse and parts of Arrival are pretty much the few occasions I've actually really liked the production, whereas the production of other albums, such as Iron Maiden's Final Frontier album or the debut album of Black Country Communion, are really brought down a number of notches thanks to Kevin's production.

All of them did drugs, even Cain I'm sure. As for coke, look at Perry's nose, was there ever anything built better for snorting than that thing?

I'm sure when Perry's eyes were bugging out of his head on ROR clips that it was just a potent multi-vitamin he was taking for energy on the tour.

He's not on drugs there. Perry didn't do Coke.

I don't know about you but I'd probably look the same if I were onstage in front of 20,000 screaming fans. I can imagine how much of a rush that would be.

He was having a good time. It was not being on drugs...it was a show.

Perry has always been anti-drug - re-read some of his newsletters in the early/mid 80s.

Roxanne is a classic! I just realized my only copy is on VHS, but luckily I still own a VCR.

Hey NEAL. If you read this...get those solo discs of yours out soon!

Ditto! Beyone the Thunder and Voice are absolutely beautiful and I look forward to Neal's solo music the most.

Perry has always been anti-drug - re-read some of his newsletters in the early/mid 80s.

I know that Dennis DeYoung of Styx never dabbled in anything hard - he talks about it a lot in interviews. Not sure about Steve Perry - I do remember the anti-drug newsletters in the 80s and 90s, but not sure if that was just being pc. I remember Herbie Herbert saying something about Perry and drugs in that long interview, but now I don't remember what that was. He was never a Betty Ford type visitor or addict to my knowledge. Did he experiment? I don't know...

Maybe its a guitar player thing - Tommy Shaw of Styx was a big time drug guy but is sober now. Same with Neal. I think Tommy went to rehab, but sounds like Neal didn't have to.

I don't know yay or nay on the subject and wouldn't even care to speculate ...nor would one or
the other change my opinion of him as an artist.
But, if we're judging possible drug use based on bugging eyes and energized
stage antics, AP could as easily fall into that category ...I don't believe, for
one second, his behavior is drug related.

I think it's just rock 'n roll. I'd bet all of those guys dabbled - we know Neal, Deen, Ross did. I don't and hope my kids won't. But it doesn't change how I feel about them, cuz that's based on the music they've created and continue to create.
