Don is correct ...except for a few of you newer fans, noone would care.

Kor'n wrote::lol: I believe the "voice [you] heard on TBF" is what garnered a grammy nomination from that 47 year old so why bother with the "voice [you] heard on Escape." Anyway, Schon is into "drowning out" his singer now-a-days..
Gideon wrote:Of course, SP said not too long ago that he could work his voice up to par again if need be for a tour, so maybe I'm wrong.

You should tell Cain of your contact with Perry.

"All that is really saying is" there is no future talk unless it is of the past. There would be no article if not for that "ridiculous' open invitation." If Eclipse was not such a colossal flop, Neal would not be fudging on what is "appropriate." Right before the flop, he was saying "anybody could be replaced" Guess he thought fans were endeared to their new guy. In 2009 Cain was talking Perry taking stage with Pineda, but not talking this year, but was talking last year ....

"As much as diehards are enjoying Pineda’s dead-on vocals, the reality is he sounds just like Perry back in the day. Naturally this leads to the question of whether Cain thinks the popular lineup will ever reunite.
“I have no idea, but he’s certainly always welcome in our camp,” Cain said. “He’s got our numbers. I tried to reach out to him last year at the World Series in San Francisco. I buzzed him a couple of times and I got crickets. I think the door is closed on that one. We’re totally open to anything. He’s a big part of the alumni of this band. He helped design the early sound of this band, so there’s a deep respect built for him in our camp. We wish him well and if ever he wanted to come and sing, man, he could come anytime.” 8/1/2011
Guess they have to talk what is relevant or gets them pub. Guess there's nothing like a colossal flop to zip up errant lips.
Monker wrote:So, go ahead people, make all the lame arguments you want in Steve absence. He isn't comeing back to Journey, Journey neither wants nor needs him...and he isn't touring solo. You are in fact lucky to even get some background vocals on other people's songs...and even luckier if he releases a solo album, which I do not think will happen.
You should not speak of your "arguments" in such a manner.
That Eclipse assured that there is always an "open invitation" for Perry, w/o distractions. They are creatively unconscious (that anyway) with AP as they remember and talk of that grammy nomination in '96. Why trouble with release of solo, when "AWYWI" is playing all over tv with the upcoming movie.
