Fuckin' Steve Perry

[Blueskies]

Greatest rock voice ever!!!!

Oh ok..if you say so....

Ok, yeah he was....

you agree with me!!!

[RPM]

Deano YOU nailed it man, he was just UNBELIEVABLE ! how could anyone watch that and
compare him to ANYONE ....just the best.

[squirt1]

I can't believe I had to type this thread title. Now Monker,in keeping with your words, Perry was the architect of many songs w Jon & Neal and the schulpture came with the way he changed up the songs LIVE. His big accomplishments was sticking to principles(especially in business matters) and being the Voice of the Century! Give it up,please!!! Look what was accomplished 77-83- 86-96. How many millions of album sales & ticket sales??????

[Deb]

Watch...Just watch,...

Steve Perry....In the Housto DVD..

He is so perfect, that fucking guy.....

I see him run across the stage, and I shreik......then I see,mand I THINK.........it' Perry...Dude is Gretzky, Jordan, Ruth, Favre........

No need to worry about aything "false" with him.

Perry, YOU SIR earned my respect!

[fred_journeyman]

Only sometimes?

Yeah, c'mon Monker, don't be such a "pissy wet blanket." Does that mean you've pissed on a dry blanket, or that the blanket is wet, like piss...

I think Perry's voice was phenomenal...and piggy-backing onto another thread, I think they should ALREADY be in the RRHOF, but I guess my vote doesn't mean anything. Dang.

I know...that's pretty vulgar, Granny (or maybe it's MOM...).

Ya know, yes Perry had a phenomenal voice - absolutely. But I know - and maybe I'm spitballin' here - but I keep coming back to the fact that those songs didn't simply appear in his head. They were created and I think the other guys in Journey (certainly the co-songwriters), deserve some of the credit as well. I know you think that it was Perry and pretty much Perry alone who precipitated those "millions" of album sales and certainly his stamp is all over it. But, it's the songs and musicians who helped create them AS WELL as the guy who sang them.

When I think of Led Zep, I think of Robert Plant AND I think of Bonham AND I think of Perry AND...it's a group who comprise the whole.

[Clasicrockldy]

The whole show was great, obviously, But watching Perry sing Mother Father with all that soul...DAMN. Fucking AMAZING.
I'm still pissed that my brother was in the audience for that show. Fucker.

I saw Journey with Gregg Rolie in 1980............

[The_Noble_Cause]

Oh good lord!! Monker, do you ever stop and take a breath???

Ummmm....nope!

It's kinda hard to, when he has a steady successsion of kielbasa being chugged down his windpipe.

Sorry, but comparing Perry to Michelangelo is simply insane. Michelangelo is not only 'one of the greats'. He created univeraly excepted masterpieces in all three areas of art he worked. The Sistine Chapel for painting, the sculpture of David, and Piazza del Campidoglio for architecture. NOBODY else has done that.

Perry may have helped 'architect' a song...but, he didn't do it by himself - as Michelangelo did. I wouldn't say ANY Journey song is univeraly accepted as a 'masterpiece', live or not, as Michelangelo's work is. Saying he is the 'Voice of the Century' is a huge exageration. Finaly, Journey's accomplishments are impressive enough...but other bands have equaled and even exceded them...and it is a credit to JOURNEY's legacy - not Perry's...and selling a piece of art doesn't make it great.

[ArnelRox]

Oh man I saw this thread & tho't someone was going to tell what it was like to have sex w/Perry. I was all excited. Then I saw Dean created it & I knew it was something else. Oh well. It might be better I dont know. If he is that passionate about singing & according to himself about kissing...can u even imagine what he'd be like in bed? OMG

Now I need a cold shower.

[Kaj]

Perry mastered more than just singing, he was originally a drummer and has been credited for great works as a producer and songwriter as well.
Who wouldn´t wanna write a song with SP?
Who wouldn´t wanna be produced by him as well?
There are lots of singers that comes by a dozen, but there is only one SP!

And can an old perv like me add: who wouldn't want to fuck SP?

I'm sorry. I just couldnt resist it.

[frostbite]

Check out Perry's vocal performance on "Patiently" and "Opened The Door" on the 1980 Houston show. Beggars belief. Speaking relatively, Perry was to singing what Michaelangelo was to sculpture etc. Monker, you do make me laugh sometimes. You always have a frickin' bee in your bonnett. You did on the old Journey board too. Don't you mellow with age?!

[i]

.....

I see him run across the stage, and I shreik......

Perry made you "shreik"

lmao

he was the man, though. Best thing MTV ever did was film that show!!
I saw them in 80, too, CLR. simply awesome.

Thanks Deano, i just kniw you would come around one day.hehe Steve P has a voice of an Angle he is the best. I got to see them 3times and it was the 3 best shows i ever saw.

[NealIsGod]

Before the Houston DVD came out I was espousing the wonders of the 1981 Houston show. I even sent Dean and 13 VHS copies of it. I will give Perry props for getting that film of Journey at its all time best on DVD.

[Rockindeano]

.....

lmao
.

Yeah, it does sound kind of gay....really gay actually...O well, I was completely hammered beyond belief...I woke up at 430 AM slouched over in my chair..passed out completely.......TV DVD was playing the title music still....

[Rockindeano]

Thanks Deano, i just kniw you would come around one day.hehe Steve P has a voice of an Angle he is the best. I got to see them 3times and it was the 3 best shows i ever saw.

You type like you were hammered also.

Look, I NEVER wavered on Perry's talent. I always thought of him as the best ever, excluding Elvis......

I just don't think I want him as a next door neighbour. Ok, I do..I could steal all the gas out of his BMW

[JrnySuxBalls]

And can an old perv like me add: who wouldn't want to fuck SP?

No thanx. Great singer tho.

[ArnelRox]

Thanks Deano, i just kniw you would come around one day.hehe Steve P has a voice of an Angle he is the best. I got to see them 3times and it was the 3 best shows i ever saw.

What degree angle is that?

[PROPERRY]

Perry has that "one of a kind voice & talent" that when HE SINGS & PERFORMS,you know he is giving it EVERTHINGS HE'S GOT inside of him, and THEN SOME to knock you off your feet with that incredible talent of his!!!! He will always remain the best in my opinion!!!

[Marabelle]

Ohhh Monker he mastered more than one skill. LOL! I believe he has mastered at least two if not three perfectly driven skills.

[Distant Voice]

Sorry Liam, but I will rub it in farther....... ...... at least 3-4 Days On The Green and Mountainaire to boot !

[Marabelle]

I've heard it's quite nice.

[Monker]

Pick ONE of Michelangelo's talents...

Point is, he is no where NEAR as talented as Michelangelo...not even close.

Perry mastered SINGING...and that's it. Period.

Monker, you do make me laugh sometimes. You always have a frickin' bee in your bonnett. You did on the old Journey board too.

which one? There have beenmany.

Don't you mellow with age?!

Nope. Just like a fine wine...with age it turns to vinegar...Kinda like Perry's voice.
