More of the same spiteful divisivness from Steve Perry.
What a sad, frail old man.

Everyone said that the reason Journey couldn't release new DVD's is because of SP, and after reading this line, I don't think it's bullshit anymore.
Hey Steve, good luck with the Pack CD. Break a hip! erm.. leg.

ohsherrie wrote:The reporter even mentioned the new CD and the band that's currently touring. I would have thought you would have liked that.
ohsherrie wrote:Of course the fans of Perry's Journey are going to view it from a different perspective than the fans of the current band. We like the old music that's getting the attention from the media better than what they're doing now, but none of us got blatantly hostile about it. Neither PF, HOTS, nor I said anything as belligerent or antagonistic as the Schon fans did.
ohsherrie wrote:I guess what it really comes down to here is that you have to like the current band or else.
ohsherrie wrote:Hell, I even saw where Monker got attacked for posting something that someone took as being negative about the new CD. You've become more protective and defensive of your boys than most of us are about Steve.![]()
ohsherrie wrote:Could it be that you think some of the band members may be checking out this board to gauge the response to the interviews? Are you afraid we might offend them? That article certainly shouldn't offend them, they got mentioned. Jon and Neal have both said(Jon here, Neal in another recent interview)that they don't care what the fans say, so why worry about it? Isn't that sort of what some of you used to say to some of us? It went something like, "Perry doesn't care about you so why do you care about him?"
ohsherrie wrote:Dave, I didn't take HOTS' remark as meaning that Steve was implying "why bother". It was the reporter not Steve who mentioned the current band. Not to speak for her, but I thought she was saying that was her personal take on what the reporter said. It's really only antagonistic if people are offended by her opinion. She didn't say she wished Jon had developed peritonitis or anything.
NealIsGod wrote:ohsherrie, your opinions don't have any credibility if you refuse to even listen to a CD without Perry on it. And by the way, the heart of Journey is Schon, not Perry, so if oyu are not a fan of Schon, you are not a fan opf Journey. And that's not my opinion, it is fact. Neal is the only one who was there in the beginning, is there now, and will be there in the end. I already know you will come back with "Journey is not Journey without Perry". That is your opinion. All the fans attending Journey shows throughout the country disagree with that.
ohsherrie wrote:NIG, what made Journey stand out from the pack for me in the '80s was Steve Perry's voice. The song writing magic with Steve in the mix made the songs themselves absolutely incredible when delivered by his vocal brilliance. I didn't even know the names of any of the others for years. It didn't matter then, and it doesn't matter now to most of the people who became fans of Journey then that the band was built around Neal Schon. As Neal admitted in his interview here, he was just one of the band and he's still striving for name recognition. He may be the heart of the band for you, but that's just your opinion and obviously in the minority. As for my credibility, I'm not trying to be a credible critic of the new band. I just don't care about them. I listened to some of Arrival and there was no magic there for me. I have no reason to think the new one will be any more impressive.

Can you HONESTLY say you listened with an open mind? Or is it possible that you listened with prejudice because Perry was not there? And if you only listened to "some" of "Arrival", how do you know that you did not 'miss' the magic? I already know you do not hear 'the magic' on ALL of "Frontiers". Maybe you only heard the songs that don't hold 'the magic' for you. Either way, "Generations" is very different from "Arrival", so it could be magical when "Arrival" was not.... No matter, your heart is closed on this one, no big deal.

NealIsGod wrote:I think it's time to face facts. Perry-onlies are not going to like the new Journey b/c it rocks. They are more into the lite stuff, and that is fine.
ohsherrie wrote:I don't know what you call lite stuff but I've said before that I don't care for elaborate screaming, squalling, frenetic guitars solos(or overpowering, relentless keyboards either, but I've never heard Jon do that). If that had dominated the Journey sound I would never have become a fan. I'm into soaring vocals with a good, strong band backing them up.

The HUGE mistake was waiting nearly over ten years to finally serve Perry his walking papers.

Yeah, lite stuff.
