Starship - Don't Stop Believin'

Postby jrnyman28 » Wed Nov 10, 2021 11:26 am

Apparently Starship (Mickey Thomas) recently released an album re-recording their hits. They also threw in a couple of covers including DSB. I guess this is actually from a Greatest Hits release from 2010. For anyone who ever questioned the idea of Journey hiring Mickey to replace Perry in the 80s, listen to this.

Sounds great!

But did he get permission to cover this song? I can't believe they signed off on it.

You don't need permission to record a cover tune. Just pay the publishing due.

There was an album of different artists covering Journey tunes. In addition to Mickey, I believe Bobby Kimball was on it. This is prolly from the same album - and not really a recent Starship release.

Here's the BK one with the original album artwork.

Unless it is on video...then they need synch rights...but if it is only audio they only have to pay the fees.
