3) Neither schon nor cain "owes perry that call." That call, also happens to be permanantly out there. Schon and Augeri have said repeatedly it's an open invitation for Punxatawney Perry.

NealIsGod wrote:The biggest reason this will not happen is that Perry's voice is no more and he shuns the limelight now. Perry did get back with Journey in 1996 and the result was their worst album ever. Perry was a shadow of his former self then, what makes you think he sounds any better 10 years later?

Just because you don`t like TBF it doesn`t mean it`s a bad album.
Just because Perry didn`t break glass on the 1996 record doesn`t mean he couldn`t sing.
10 years after? Perry is a pro.He would know exactly how to handle his performance,both naturally and technically.Add the incredible technology used nowadays in live situations.With the right tools,Perry would sound just fine.
Hey,we are not discussing who has class and who sucks.Leave those things behind the curtain.This is about the band`s business.And it is not about the past.It`s about what should happen in 2007 on stage.

How about addressing the lack of desire from Perry?
NealIsGod wrote:Perry shows NO interest, so I don't know why people keep saying this should happen. It is 2006. The 80's are over. Enjoy the old and new music. Go to the shows. Have fun.
jrnyman28 wrote:This band shows no desire to record new music together. So unless Steve again becomes the catalyst for a new record, it just ain't gonna happen. Journey does not care about the headaches of releasing and promoting new material. All they want to do is tour. It is the easiest road to the most money...
Furthermore, most of their fans will agree that Journey deserves a break after all the touring they have been doing!And to be honest (IMO) if Journey are not willing to get together, take some time off the road, and devote several months to writing and jamming, before every going in to record, then it will be a waste of time.
Infinity wrote:New material?Naw.Time to think about something else.
Here`s the short and sweet version.
1.Journey should finish the 2006 tour and then take a break.An official one.
2.Let Augeri do his thing with TS.Let him sing the way he wants.No more shoes to fill,no pressure.
3.Neal should give Perry a call.ASAP.No,wait!Jonathan should do it.He owes Perry that call.![]()
4.At the end of this year an official press release.Perry returns to Journey.2007 Reunion Tour.A DVD+ live CD from the tour.
Then everyone goes home and sleeps well at night.
Yep.Journey should retire in ALL their glory.That`s how people must remember them.
Of course,I can give you reasons for each of those 4 points.Not that I would need to...

I heard Augeri with TS.He was Steve Augeri all the way.Now he is Steve Perryesque Augeri."Break those chains that bind you"...He should.

They could totaly avoid the hassle of releasing albums - IF THEY WANT TO.

Yep...that's what I said last time.

That may be true...But, in Perry's case he can no longer hide the radical changes in his voice by using a computer and a studio.

Even if his voice changed,I can bet he still sings pretty damn well
.I didn’t say he would have to *hide* his present voice
Perry is no longer capable of intensive touring, he couldn’t sing his ass of on an every night basis,
but he could be up to one last reunion tour.

End this Karaoke act. Fire Augeri. He tried, and God Bless him, did well for 4 years. He is done. He CANNOT SING anylonger. Hell, make the correct decision ONCE in regards with Journey.

I can bet he still sings pretty damn well.
I didn’t say he would have to *hide* his present voice.I was thinking about some technical help that most singers use both in studio and on stage.

2 or 3 nights a week for about 3 months. Enough to cover all the major cities and relaxed enough to avoid vocal fatigue.
Like I said myself,Journey should think of a glorious retirement from the industry.
