3 members of the band on the cd were from Journey. Rolie, Valory, and Smith. Question if anyone can answer this, Why was Kevin Chalfant only on 1 cd for Shooting Star. That cd was great.

KC is awesome and he knows I think that.

Dude, I want some NEW music!

I can't remember who I asked about this...maybe whoever runs his MySpace page?

But, back when that CD came out, I started asking about tour dates...His tenure in Shooting Star was apparently very short. What I heard was the band did not make good on their promises and such so KC exited the band before a tour was even scheduled.

Posters over on the Noticeboard discussed this a while back.
Might want to ask over there...
All I remember is, Kevin bailed out of touring commitments for some reason.

Hmmm, that's a shame more missed opportunities!!


I agree SG, Good Stuff!!

SJ you are correct. They would have been awesome. A dream lineup Schon, Rolie, Valory, Smith, Cain, and Chalfant.

Do you think Rolie was planning on touring w/Journey ...
Don't see a date ...
Q. Gregg, you say, "There was nothing more to write about (with Journey) — a bus, a hotel, the lonely road?" If The Storm becomes successful, you're back in the same situation again. So, how are things gonna be different?
A. Times have kind of changed I don’t plan on spending; Journey traveled 7-9 months out of the year traveling, and we're not going to do that. It's just physically impossible. There're families involved. There's no way that's gonna happen. We're not gonna travel like that. That's all there was. That is, literally all we did, is travel and record. Way back when. I just figured there has got to be more to life than this. I gotta take a breather from this. I'm glad I did. I couldn't be happier.

I just love him!!!

The similarity wasn’t lost on me.
But unlike SP, Kevin is still very much an active musician.
Kevin seemed to have internal issues with 'Shooting Star', wheras Perry is plain fed u with the whole scene.

Don't get me wrong...Perry was and is the best...and yes he was fed up with touring..wonder why???

I thought he couldn't do any worse than Two Fires and Vu.....F2F proved me wrong. That CD was the worst I've ever bought, and I've bought some lame ones.

I disagree my man. I like Chalfant's version but the rerecords are way better. More of a live feeling.

Kevin's Open Arms was awesome on F2F, but so is Arnel's. I like both CDs, but on the whole Arnel's edges it out b/c of his energy on it vocally. I don't get the total bashing of Arnel at every turn and giving him no due at all by SG.

The least Steve could do is take his band back.....
You can thank Steve Perry for that...
