MR

Today I was in WalMart looking for bargins on CDs when I happened upon a CD entitled "80's Metal Tribute To Journey" it was released in 2006. Although intrigued, I didn't buy it, because no one does Journey better than Journey (with Steve Perry). Does any one own this CD? If so, I'd be interested in knowing if it's any good. Since I'm still relatively new to the forum you may have already discussed it in the past, and if so I apologize if I'm bringing up an old topic.

I found out about the same CD a while ago and I did buy it. It's really good. I have enjoyed mine.

That album is complete horse shit! The best thing you could have done is walk away, so kudos to you for doing the right thing! I bought it, and I hate it. I didn't even finish listening to it.

As GIJ says its total crap. If you wanna hear the Journey classics hear them from the best...not a bunch of 2nd rate wannabes.

Thanks Jim, as a musician I certainly respect your opinion. I'm glad I saved my money.

Hey, I'm not trying to knock anyone else's opinion, I'm just saying that I PERSONALLY hated it! To these ears... it was bad.

Thats good to know I had it in my hands and thought twice about it. Sounds like I did the right thing by putting it back.

If you buy this your ears will bleed like you just shoved a bitch splitter in there.

I've heard tribute albums for various artists some of which were good and others not so much. The inherent problem with tribute albums is they are after all, just covers. Some are better than others. If the singers are high quality and the album has top production values they can be very good. Like SG, I prefer the genuine article. I was just curious.

Yeah, I gotta admit I miss Steve too. Who else is gonna stalk me? Damn, I'm a little jealous, though. When I get banned you all better post nice things about me too.
I wanna log on here & read, "I really miss Jason. He was so funny, cute, witty, charming, sexy. Why---oh---why did Andrew have to ban him? He doesn't deserve that. Jason was really cool."

I'm holding out for "A Melodic Death Metal Tribute To Journey"... that would kick much ass, but doubt that would ever happen. You know... bands like In Flames, Soilwork, Children Of Bodom, etc...or, how about "A Progressive Metal Tribute To Journey" or "A Thrash Metal Tribute To Journey", that would probably be my favorite of the bunch that would never happen... just hope there's never a "Pickin' on Journey" bluegrass compilation.

Gee, I don't think I'm familiar with those groups wastingbeerz. I see I need to expand my musical horizons.

While we're expanding our horizons, Have you ever heard Dolly Parton's cover of "Stairway to Heaven"?

I've been hanging out with someone like you since grade school....never a dull moment. I find you very charming and funny.

Thanks, Chubby. I like your post as well & I'm glad that you see that I'm joking most of the time. Someone on here recently said they never use emoticons. I can't recall their reason why. Still, I use emoticons a lot simply b/c it's my way of letting people know I'm being silly, not sarcastic (which my post can sometimes be mistaken for if I'm not careful.)

What if I don't have the money to pay you? Can I work it off some other way?

"The stars here are vocalists, but many of them are more in the '70s arena rock and AOR vein than '80s metal. However, this fact just proves how the lines separating genres can be blurred.
The biggest names among the featured vocalists areMickey Thomas (Jefferson Starship, Starship), Bobby Kimball (Toto), Kip Winger (Winger), Tommy Shaw (Styx, Damn Yankees), Jack Russell (Great White), Robin McAuley (MSG), Kelly Hansen (Hurricane, Foreigner), and John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, Ratt).

Musically speaking, the arrangements of virtually all of the songs are so close to the originals that it's scary. (There are crunchy, '80s-style rhythm guitar extras here and there.) Half of An '80s Metal Tribute to Journey was produced and performed -- with the exception of drums -- by former Yes member Billy Sherwood.

He has previously produced AC/DC, Queen, and Pink Floyd tribute albums, among others. Ultimately, An '80s Metal Tribute to Journey lives or dies by the vocalists. Given Perry's distinctive style, the special guests had their work cut out for them. Sometimes a few of them strain to reach Perry's range, but they usually sound like themselves.

Kimball tackles "Who's Crying Now," Winger handles "Send Her My Love" quite well, Shaw treats "Open Arms" respectfully, Russell cuts loose on "Any Way You Want It," and Hansen adds extra muscle to "Wheel in the Sky" and "Separate Ways." As for the less famous participants, Mark Knight of Worry Beads takes a slightly subdued yet interesting approach to "Only the Young," while Stevie Rachelle of Tuff offers a straightforward version of "Lights." Considering that Rachelle eventually came forward as the creator of the infamous metal-mocking website Metal Sludge (www.metalsludge.tv), shouldn't he rip himself for simply being a part of this album? An '80s Metal Tribute to Journey, despite the partially inaccurate title, should appeal to fans of Journey and the guest vocalists. ~ Bret Adams, All Music Guide
