Steve Perry is going to sing

[PROPERRY]

I think some of the complaining & snide remarks that are being made by some here is just "plain jealousy" that Steve Perry is getting so much positive media attention.

Oh well, too bad for those that feel that way! I think it is absolutely wonderful for Steve Perry & the fans like me who love him!!!!

When did Deano's kid start posting?

[Monker]

1.) Fans that accept Steve Augeri.
2.) Fans that do not accept Steve Augeri and choose to listen to older Journey music and be content with that.
3.) Fans that do not accept Steve Augeri and feel they need to pepper every message board, post-SP Journey thread, post-SP album review with such bullshit as "JOURNEY IS NOTHING WITHOUT STEVE PERRY!!!one!!1!eleven". They cannot accept the fact that their personal Jesus was shown the fucking door. They cannot accept the fact that Journey DARED to move on without Mr. "I never felt like part of the band."

I'm none of the above. I'm a fan of Journey, not just the lead singer or the politics of how Perry was replaced. I think there are JOURNEY fans, and there are fans of Perry and his years with Journey.

As for this thread. I hope it happens. It will be interesting to hear how hoarse he sounds and how Perry fans will jump on the bandwagon of how wonderful he sounds. That hasn't happened in a while. Of course, he can always find a reason to not do it.

Or, froy could just be making the entire thing up.

I agree that being part of a band that isn't named for any particular member of the group(ie, Bon Jovi) .

I disagree here, Bon Jovi has been and should be viewed as a true band. If I were Sambora and the rest, I'd be pissed at how JBJ says I this and I that when the band makes an appearance. Especially as Sambora is the more talented musican imo. Van Halen has been a true band also, not just Eddie and his backup musicians and singer.

However, it's already been pretty much agreed here that when you're talking Steve Perry it's not quite the same as most frontmen. Journey was identified by his voice more so than is the norm for bands like that. His voice became their trademark. Once Escape came out some djs were actually saying calling them Steve Perry and Journey. I know you don't think that's right or fair, but it's the way it is.

I disagree with this as well, Perry is no more identifiable than many other singers of the era imo. Certainly no more so than Plant, Tyler, Jagger, Rodgers, Bon Scott, Brian Johnson, this could go on all day. Many singers, even some with less talent, had distincitive voices that were just as unique and that are just as synonymous with the name of the band they sang for. I've heard djs identify bands as
"insert lead singers name here and so and so..." many, many times. This is not an honor reserved for His Royal Highness Perry. For example, Lou Gramm and Foreigner, this was done to death.

Chicago news say's Perry has said if The Sox clinch he is going to sing Don't Stop at the Parade , WOW Perry is finally going to sing in public and in my back yard . Im going with the video camera

...................................................

Froy, is there a link for this article?

It was on the morning news no article

[jrnyman28]

Well I will be excited to hear Perry sing the song at the parade.

..................................................

If it happens, I'm wondering, will he sing it unaccompanied or, OR, OMG?
...............Another one of my random thoughts.

[Red13JoePa]

He would not do it unadorned.
Nor will he do it accompanied by the guitar or Neal Schon and keyboard of Jonathan Cain.

[sadie65]

That's kind of what I was asking. How will he sing this song should any of this come to pass? Who would back him? A Capella? Not a song for that, at least not in my opinion.

Okay, maybe he can get Carlo Santana.

Hey Froy, what radio station did you hear this on?

[ohsherrie]

Well NoMoreTails, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this. Neither of us is going to change the other's opinion so there's no point in arguing it to death.

[sadie65]

Argue? Here? Never. All those previous threads that went on for pages...those weren't arguments...they were creative,colorful dialogues right? (Insert humor here)

How can you possibly say a song belongs to the singer in a band instead of the band itself? If the album is re-released and it says
5T3V3 93RRY
E5C4P3
I'll agree with you.
I thought of all the Perryheads I've ever heard from, there'd be a possiblity of reasoning with you.

[froy]

Hey Froy, what radio station did you hear this on?

My sister saw it on ABC 7 news not a radio station.

[Greg]

Getting away from the Anti-Pro squabble, I'm sure this means that Steve Perry would have to pay a percentage of royalities to Neal and Jon if he does perform Don't Stop Believin? From what I had read from Herbie Herbert, Perry gets royalities everytime the band performs songs in concert. Which I'm not sure how much I believe from that interview, but that's a different topic.

So, will Perry have a band to sing this with him, canned music, or without? Personally, I hope Perry goes through with this. I hope this inspires him to make a record. I'd be first in line to buy it!

Oh yes, we've had our auguments. I'm just saying there's no more point to this particular one.

I didn't say the song belonged to him NMT. All I said was that he has as much right to sing it as the band does. Someone (Amaron I think) asked why some people didn't like the band singing it but thought it was OK for Steve to do so. My answer was that it was because Steve was the original artist who sang it. That's all I said about it, it was someone else who brought up the issue of ownership. I don't think it matters who technically owns it or wrote it. I just think he has the right to sing it because his is the voice that made it a hit. I also didn't say the band didn't have the right to perform the song.

No royalties no money made
I think Perry may lyp sync this song as well

Hi Froy, please clarify for me, who gets no money? The band gets none if he sings, or he gets none when the band sings it, or both?

Surely you don't mean he would lipsync to the song as it's recorded now. I mean, surely he would rerecord it as he currently sings. That wouldn't be so unusual in a parade environment, most people do.

[jrnyman28]

Actually, I believe ANYONE can sing a song live at ANY time without paying royalties. Royalties only occur when the product is sold retail.

Personally, I see Perry performing it KARAOKE. There are plenty of good karaoke systems and versions of the song that have all the backing and just no voice.

Free just posted that the Sun says he won't be singing. I don't know what to believe.

Sherrie, do you really think Free is serious?

So what was this big thing in Herbie's interview about Perry signing something which means he gets paid and the band does all the work? That doesn't make any sense to me. I figured he meant the band peforming the songs live.

[jrnyman28]

There may be a contract that splits all earnings 6 ways. But I don't think that has anything to do with royalties from performing songs live. My undeerstanding is that, unless there is a retail sale from the performance, than it is some sort of 'public domain' or something. You don't pay everytime you sing "Happy Birthday", or anytime you sing karaoke. Any time a band covers a song in concert they don't have to pay the original artist. Journey did not have to pay Elvis' estate for singing Jailhouse Rock on the ROR tour.

[Greg]

But, if Journey comes out with a live dvd or cd of the concert, then Perry gets money, correct???

[NoMoreTails]

My appologies for misunderstanding, but I felt the post....

That's really sort of easy to figure out Amaron, at least it is for me. I guess it depends on your point of view, but to me Steve Perry is the original artist who sang the song

.... implied that you felt DSB was a Perry song rather than a Journey song. To me, Journey, of which Perry was a part, is the artist that performed the song.

[Rockindeano]

You all are really dumbfounding...You really think this guy will actually sing the entire song? He will, get up there, and gruffly say, Chicago! to about 45 seconds of applause...Don't Stop believin"..to more applause..He isn't going to sing...fuck no.

And, Perry loons, what if(and there's a good chance), he sounds awful? Are you going to accept the ridicule and heat that I at least will bring full force right after the parade?

I can't wait..I am preparing my tirade now..

This whole thing makes me fucking sick to be a Journey fan......

Well the Sox are up 3 games to none so it looks like it's going to happen...

Hey genius, ask the Yankees if they know what 3-0 means.

Very true
Last year the Yanks were up 3 zip and went home after 4 straight
Was not the world series though

Sure
Nobody gets money because nobody made money
The song is not being used for profit.
So no payments made.

Surely you don't mean he would lipsync to the song as it's recorded now. I mean, surely he would rerecord it as he currently sings. That wouldn't be so unusual in a parade environment, most people do.

I bet they play the song from 81 and Perry just leads the crowd in the song. No way is he going to sing this without a band,
