LOL!!! A Manute Bol reference in a Journey post!!!!!Red13JoePa wrote:Good call, LAWoman. And you know, I can feel the Soul SirkUs influence in Neal's playing on a lot of the Generations songs. What a guitar driven album. So different than what's happened before. It's like Red13 on steroids. With a smooth shot of Butterfly, Knowing That You love Me and Beyond The clouds to wash down the other 9 heavy rockers.
Also that picture kills me. We have Cain serious as a heart attack juxtaposed against goofy hammy Valory. Great stuff....Oh and Neal, Manute Bol called looking for his suitcoat, too.
I noticed Neal said "We'll probably go back in the studio and re-record the music, maybe do three new songs or something like that and add it to the CD". Re-record the music. Sounds like he wasn't happy with the sonics of the drums, and then add 3 news songs. Cool!!!The_Noble_Cause wrote:Great Interview!
In regards to "it's Never Too Late"...
Neal says that he wasn't around when the decision was made to leave "It's Never Too Late off the Album" and from the sound of it, he doesn't approve of the decision they (management/the band) made without him. See what happens when Neal's not around?
Who in their right mind would leave that track off the cd?
In regards to Generations being sold in the states....
Neal says that they have gotten offers from U.S. labels but for the time being they will keep distributing it for free at shows. He says when the time is right they will head back into the studio and add some new tracks to it (which is what I was anticipating) and then they will sell it officially. One of the labels mentioned is Universal, who is also currently the label of STYX. Can they possibly do for "Generations" what they managed to do for Big Bang Theory (i.e. radio play)?
We'll see....

Red13JoePa wrote:And after what a lot of people feel is Augie's best vocal performance yet on Generations.
granted the interview was after only a few shows. Maybe Augie will say to Andrew, "Well ya know Neal DID give me only 3 days of rehearsal before opening night in Irvine. With 5 (+1 each with neal Ross and Jon) new tracks being debuted and some others I'd nver done or not in a while I felt like saying thanks, Neal!!!! Give 'Nute his sportjacket back any time now."

OpeningAct wrote:I found the comments he made about Steve and Jon having something going on as far as their vocals and they have to get it together, so to speak, to be VERY interesting.
OpeningAct wrote:Andrew, you sat down and talked to him. Do you get the impression that Neal is the type of guy who would take them aside, privately, and tell them they have to step it up when he sees the need?
Kinda the way Jordan did with his teammates when he played for the Bulls...![]()
Greggie wrote:Andrew,
Did you get the impression that Generations might be the last Journey album?
Greggie wrote:Sounds to me where Neal said something about his name being a "household name" that maybe he's thinking of moving into a new direction after the tour supporting Generations is over. Maybe it will be the Soul Sirkus thing or a solo thing, but I just get the impression that Neal might be feeling a bit "trapped" in Journey.
Greggie wrote:I also got the impression that talent-wise, Schon prefers Perry over Augeri...again, I said talent-wise. Sounds to me like Augeri has an understanding that anytime Perry wanted to come back, Augeri is out. Just seemed like a weird interview to me.
Greggie wrote:Makes you wonder though - usually a lead vocalist is stronger at the beginning of the tour. I can only imagine how Augeri is going to be after this tour, three hours a night!

Maybe should start doing "warm up" shows over in Japan again. That way Steve will ve "ready" when Jounrey hits the States!

He said, "Last night(Irvine), we had 11,000... Irvine was June 26th.
