On what Journey song(s) can Jeff outshine Augeri?

[Citygirl]

They're 2 totally different singers.

I don't think you can really compare them.

hamburger guy is a true poet,,,

And you're an dyed-in-the-wool Augeri ass eater.

Uh uh. Lar's a tapegater. He's in your camp, bro.

I mean it is what it is. I'm an Augeri head through and through and support him. Doesn't mean I can't get along w/ the other side

Funny, I wasn't aware I was a member of any camp.
At least I can proudly say I am not a member of the willfully deaf, dumb, and blind.
Tell me one more time Red just how great Augeri "sings" TPIYH on your Greek and Beacon boots.
I need the laugh.

Yep, u are such a hardcore Augeri fan that you cannot distinguish his own actual voice from a stack of tapes.
You're not an Augeri head, you're just an air head.

None. Augeri's recordings are great. Everthing he's recorded with Tall Stories AND Journey is great. I have no problems with him. Yeah, it's my opinion, but I favor his vocal style over Sotos. I hated the Soul Sirkus record. I'm in the minority, and that's cool, but I thought it was boring and it all sounded the same. I just can't get into him on SS. I haven't heard him do anything else but the bootlegs out there which horrified me. I've listened to SS 3 times and hated it. Sorry, that's my spin. I think Neal was much better with Hardline, which is a great album. Augeri's a great singer. Soto might be too, but I don't dig his style at all. Augeri's high notes float more and Sotos are forced.

We're talking about recorded work here so I don't want to get into the tapegate crap...

Aside from SoulSirkus and a few misc songs I downloaded, I haven't heard any of JSS's other recorded album work.
I have heard and own everything Augeri's ever done, and I like his style more, too.

Then why did you mention the Soto bootlegs which "horrified" you?

[brywool]

touche'!
Good point! I Shouldn't have mentioned that, but those were the only things I'd heard by him so those 3 are how I judged his voice. Shoulda just stuck with ONLY the SS reference.
SO to clarify- I didn't like him on the SS record and I like everything Augeri's ever recorded that I've heard.

how's zat?

Actually, I just mentioned them to clarify that I've only heard the SS and that 'other stuff'. Haven't heard Talisman or anything else.

That's fine.
I happen to think JSS and Augeri both sound good on record.
Though I happen to like Augeri's voice more.
He sounds like a young Perry without that grating oil squeak quality to it.

Do you actually prefer Augeri to "a young Perry"?

[Matthew]

By the way, is the "oil squeak" the same quality which the UK press used to describe as "the Duck"?

[The_Noble_Cause]

Are you saying you actually PREFER Augeri to "a young Perry"?

No, they both have their moments.
i just like how Augeri's studio voice is high pitched without the shrillness that accompanied Perry in his younger days.

What's the 'shrill' period? 78-81?

Too true!!! Did you catch the Tyketto unreleased track on front page?-ERIC

[brywool]

Right. The young perry to me was actually great. The Escape and before stuff. Frontiers and on, he sounded more like Brian Adams. RASP! That's how I think of Augeri's voice, like that Escape period Journey. Augeri could use a bit more low end though. Still, I got no problem with him.

[Matthew]

I can just about see the Adams comparison on "Frontiers" - just - but not on "ROR". Perry's range was incredible on that album.

Absolutely re ROR. The finest Perry vocals ever without a doubt.

Also i would rather hear JSS any freakin day of the week than to listen to Augeri warble his way through everything, except in a live setting of course cause we aint hearing the real him then, now are we.

This I can roll with...I liked Perry's vox much better when he lost the shrill shrieks come, long about ESC4P3 maybe even Departure. Augeri never had that anyway, not being a TOTAL SP ringer had it's aural benefits.

Ah...congratulate me, all. I've graduated from being a potato-eating simpleton. TNC approved my move up to the next grade.

*gasp* Someone doesn't love early Perry?

GGGGGRrrrunt

Thank you, Sir, may I please have another?!?!

[tupchurch]

We would probably be surprised at just how many songs JSS could do and do quite well. I have been surprised on songs I didn't think JSS could do like Dead or Alive.

Terry

[The_Noble_Cause]

Augeri could use a bit more low end though.

Augeri's non-Journey work showcases this more extensively (Shine, Tall Stories).
On occassion, he would still utilize it within Journey (Kiss Me Softly, Butterfly)

I completely agree with you. I didn't like SS at all either. But I do like much of Soto's other work. They should have gone with someone who sounds more like "Journey". JMHO

[The_Noble_Cause]

Dead or Alive is not that high of a song.

You think?
I think most of the rockers off Escape are damn challenging.
