Straight from the new GQ article (which I thought was very well done):
"I get a slightly different take from Steve Perry... Perry, who’s finally started working
on his first album of new material since leaving Journey..."
So who's buying into this???
Personally, from little things said here in the past
month or so and little tidbits in the news, I am
starting to think (fucking PRAY is more like it)
that Perry may indeed be up to something...
Any thoughts???

You need to add a vote option:
"I want to believe it, I hope it's true, but I'm on the fence."
That's how I'd vote. Sans that option, I think he is working on stuff, but it's unlikely it will be released.

In my wildest dreams, but I'll buy a drink for the entire board if it ever happens.

Yes I do.
The reason he prolly obliged GQ an interview is because he is cautiously dipping his toes back into the PR limelight.
Something's afoot.

And if something is afoot, I feel bad for Drew
This forum will erupt & impload!
Drew may have to, not only add a separate
Steve Perry Forum but, upgrade his server
power yet again

I was a bit stunned that they actually got Steve to talk!

And he put "I never felt like part of the band" into some context so it didn't seem so outrageous.
What I heard was a
bit of nice stuff (and a wee insult) from Neal and a
bit of understanding (and a major disregard for SA, JSS and AP) from Steve. He Who Shall Not Be Named figures if he doesn't mention Those Who Have Followed, they don't exist.

I sure hope not. Releasing something only because Journey has seemingly solid momentum for the first time since he screwed them leaves me a bit nauseous. My guess is that it's some back dated cobwebbed material that he's toted around like an emergency fire extinguisher for the better part of 10 years.

I don't think they have anywhere near the momentum they had with the BTM with Arrival.

They have exponentially more now. Arrival had no promotion or marketing, let alone an outlet like Wal Mart and publicity like The Ellen Show.

Walmart sold Arrival! Just not exclusively. Leads me to believe that = more shelves for Arrival. I didn't know the Ellen show was still on the air. Obama appeared on there remember, how do you think that's gonna turn out for him?

So you're saying Obama is gonna develop major momentum for the general by then?

You are a prophet St. John. I remember you saying how S.P. would stir the waters with talk about a new album right before the new Journey album comes out and low and behold it appears to be happening.

I believe I also predicted it would come "about 3 weeks" before the album, too. What a coincidence...3 weeks
to the day before the album comes out. The website is my next prediction. Keep an eye open for that next.
