Yeah, right. And the tour would be called off by Perry a month into it. :roll:

Please. I'll take the current lineup.


Well ok. But aren't you sick of the same tour over and over again?

Ok Mr. Fucking Negative. You have NEVER made a prediction on here. All you do is hang back and snipe. Read the writing on the wall, dumbass.. It is going to happen. Why wouldn't you want him to sing? Or sing with Journey? I cannot think anyone seriously does not want to see that, and if you say yes, you only want Augeri, you are either 1) Lying, or 2) have never seen Perry with Journey. It's night and day. Stupid fuck. :roll:

I'm not sure why you come in a thread about SP and make these comments. I don't go into threads about SA or Journey and do this.

And it wouldn't be even more limited with Perry? There would be no Arrival or GENS tunes, and then the would only be able to play the songs a 57- or 58-year old Perry can handle, even after tuning everybody down.

It's really exciting to hear about Val & Tree's conversation with Perry at the Star!

Hey, I'm a strong believer in Perry!!! He can market himself anyway he wants, I WILL support him & his music all the way!!! :D

I was waiting for this response.

So what if he's 57 or 58? Is not Bruce that old? Tyler? Rodgers? Cronin?Hell, Mick is older. That doesn't make sense.

Songs being tuned down? Now that has some merit. Maybe the current singer in Journey should request this. Doesn't appear to me, or 70% of the rest of the Board that the higher range is working too good for him though..well, it kind of does I guess :roll:

So what? No Arrival or Red 13? Who gives a shit? The average fan doesn't. I would rather hear After the fall, Girl Can't Help It, Message of Love and I Can See it in Your Eyes than Higher Place, Livin to Do, Gone Crazy or Every Generation.

Not because of Perry's voice or getting rid of Augeri.

Because I disagree with the way things went down in 86 and 97.

That's actually a real good reason. I agree with you. He will need to apologize and show some kind of remorse. However, if that is your way of thinking, what about the current corruption going on at Journeygate? Does this not dwarf the Perry firings? Maybe because it's fresh and in everyone's face. It isn't going away soon, I guarantee you that.

I have over 200 emails on this topic, many from BT people. I would say it's 50-50 on whether they support my claim or flatout turn a deaf ear. By the way, they aren't all pure and angelic over there either! I have read about 100 emails, and I would say at least 40 have told me to "STFU, or stop making shit up. Too funny.

Steve's talking vioce was not even one bit raspy that day. I still believe he could bring it. Yes, he's older but Deano pointed out that the older crowd of singers still is out there. You all know if Steve didn't believe he could bring it he would never come back. He will be back!!

I won't comment specifically on 'the issue' because I frankly believe that replacing SP came 10 years too late.

Perry did NOT "destroy" this band! :roll:

Perry made Journey great!!! This current line up is still able to be singing & touring & making money off the songs that Perry co-wrote, sang, & made famous first, so I hardly think that line up of Journey is destroyed as you say.

The day we met Steve, one of the girls said to him (and pointed to the star), she said " this is you", Steve said no. That was 5 guys who made magic together. No, Journey was not all SP, it took them all. He makes no bones about that. I told him that the reason I was a Journey fan was because of him.

He was around the same height as myself and I'm not short for a woman. :lol: I'm thinking around 5 ft 8 inches.

Alright... I'll elaborate:

Not replacing SP in 86 or not recording from 86-97 destroyed any commercial hopes Journey could have. They went from a multi-platinum band to a band that needed the record company to shove a record (TBF) down the public's throat.

TBF was shipped platinum... it didn't sell platinum.

If Journey continued to make records after a brief hiatus (2-3 years) in the late 80's they would have a shot these days.

If they replaced SP in 1986 I'd be willing to bet they'd have success similar to what Van Halen had after replacing DLR.

The public was receptive to Journey in the 80's... they aren't now. SP will put a few more asses in the seats live, but as far as record sales go, Journey records are just a fart in the wind.

EDIT: After thinking about it, I'd be even less inclined to listen to a SP fronted record if they crawled back to Sony. Sony dropped the ball BIG TIME with Arrival.

Tree wrote:I personally DO believe Steve Perry will sing again.....AND hopefully do a small tour of major cities. When I was at the star this month and met the man I can guarantee you his voice showed none of the raspyness of the past few years. He sounded great and was talking about "practicing the scales to see what hes still got" which is a direct quote from Mr Perry himself.

In my opinion he has a big surprise in store for all the critics out there who say hes "lost his voice" ... we'll see about that! :lol:


Hey there Tree! :mrgreen:

Those videos of your surprise-meet-and-greet are priceless....I'm tellin' ya, Steve is power-walking down the sidewalk, and at approx 20-30 feet, he says in a LOUD voice: "Is there a STAR around here?? OH THERE IT IS!!"....I mean, his voice is booming - and clear as a bell...you compare that to him SITTING DOWN in the BTM...yeah, his voice sounded awful in that.

IMO, the only way for Steve to re-gain what he lost is to do a lot of power-walking up and down hills (that's what I do) and some sort of Kick-boxing....the voice resonates from the diaphragm, NOT the throat, so just like anything else:

If you strengthen the core group of muscles, then the "stronger" you'll be: in sports, music, etc.

I dunno....

If his SPEAKING voice is that clear, I can't help BUT to wonder about the "other one"...
